Then you will give a one or two sentence statement of what the company desires you to study (or address) in this project, or what they agree to let you study (the broad intent). 2. Project Objectives: In this section, you will delineate, as precisely as possible, the specific objectives of the project, using perhaps bullet style. The stated objectives should be consistent with the “broad intent” mentioned in Sec. The objectives should reflect an underlying principle / concept. 3. Scope: Relative to the objectives stated above, here you would explicitly specify the delimiting aspects, if any, that would define the scope of the current study. For example, if the study concerns “employee motivation,” and if it is agreed that only employees from production functions are to be studied, the scope would be restrictive to all the employees of the production function. If there are more plants than one, and if it is agreed that only a specified plant’s production function employees would be covered, then this would be a restriction. All such aspects would define the specific scope of the project. 4. Methodology: This section must explain your detailed plan for conducting project, covering sampling logic, data collection, questionnaire etc...

...Action research has been recognized for its breadth as a field of research practice and its depth as a discourse of theoretical insight. It does not have one neat, widely accepted definition. Points to some reasons for the difficulty of formulating a generally accepted definition of action research, and argues why action research should not be confined but should be both clarified for communication and open for development. The discussion stems from a working definition developed with participants in an international symposium that serves as a classic definition of action research. Presents several alternative approaches to resolution and argues for a judicious mix of pragmatism and flexibility in approaching the definition issue. Why keep a diary? * To keep a detailed history of your research process as it unfolds; * To track the development of your research skills and understanding; * To provide a context for reflecting on your research and the problems it throws up; * To enable you to have an overview of progress over a period of time; * To provide a reference point for what happened when in the process. Some overarching principles on the reflective process The reflective cycle is a learning cycle. In this cycle, we start with an event or experience. We note what happened, how we reacted to it, establish what we have learned, and consider what we might take away from that learning and apply in the research process. You can keep the...

...One of the things I liked about the course was the experiential learning. I was able to apply my new knowledge to my project, changing to a Common Review Date, and to my everyday work. For example, even if I wasn’t the person involved in a project at work, I was able to identify that Business Intelligence tools were being used. This provided me with a new awareness of how co-workers go about doing their jobs and how decisions are made. It’s encouraged me to wonder about what else is available to help us do our jobs better and more efficiently. In addition, no one was looking at the cost savings side of the conversion to a Common Review Date. Once I started using the Excel tool and thinking about things differently I was able to show these cost savings. Probably my favorite tool is the Canvas used to brainstorm ideas. It assisted with getting all thoughts down in a logical format and it was easy to use and allowed for revision. I will use this often for many different projects. Plus, it just looks so cool when it’s all completed. I also really like making Rocket Pitches on VoiceThread. I’d never used anything where I could add voice, and I see that video is also possible, so this was an exciting new tool. In addition, the book Business Model Generation, which was required for the course, was a great resource, easy to read and very applicable to the subject matter. (Osterwalder & Pigneur, 2010) While meeting on-line with Go-to-Meeting was a great feature I can see...

...Website Content Plan In the third part of this website development plan for Taco Hut’s forthcoming website; content and content usage will be detailed. There are several key pieces of information which will need to be displayed to customers in full, and encouragingly enough to entice Taco Hut patronage. The content on display will also need to represent the full selection of menu items available and the dedication Taco Hut has to cleanliness and customer satisfaction. Media Formats and Plug-Ins At launch, media formats will be limited to simple images facilitating flow and layout. Formats should include those of which are universally rendered by all modern browsers, bright and that pop. To satisfy this, it has been decided that all images will be formatted in Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. This format has been chosen because it provides the best flexibility and least amount of resource usage; both server and client side. The only plug-in currently planned for implementation is JavaScript, this will be part of Google Analytics, which will be in use for customer browsing activity. Graphics Usage Graphics will be used sparingly on all pages, except the menu page. On the menu page, pictures will be taken of food prepared by Taco Hut’s master chef. These images will be taken of the varying items available and displayed as thumbnails, which can be expanded by a customer’s click of said thumbnail. Other graphics used throughout the Taco Hut web site will be relegated to...

...do not want to see a summary of each force. State the important force that supports your answer. FORMAT All case assignments must follow a simple memorandum format with the following sections: 1. The paragraph, a short one, must contain a sentence must stating the response to the required topic. For example, if a recommendation is required, the sentence might start with “I recommend . . .” or “This is to recommend that . . .” If a question is given, the sentence must respond to the question directly. The paragraph should also contain a summary of the justification for the response. 2. The next paragraph or two should contain the justification for the response along with supporting data or information. The latter would be a reference to a concept in Strategic Management and should include facts and information in the case. Stick with information and data provided in the case, materials taken from other sources are not acceptable. 3. A concluding statement.

...This set of 28 questions, taken from prior examinations, covers topics in Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The purpose of sample multiple choice questions is to acquaint you with the style and substance of typical exam questions over this material. Please be aware that: 1. multiple choice format questions are only one of many resources available to prepare for testing events – reading textbook chapters and working through chapter examples, studying the end-of-chapter review problem and accompanying solution, and reviewing assigned homework items and the published solutions may be more powerful methods to increase your understanding of the topics covered in the course. 2. the exam questions used this quarter will be similar but different from these example questions – understanding the main concepts in each chapter is critical to success on the testing events; remembering a sample question may be of some help but the format of a question on the same topic often differs rendering memory a distant second choice to understanding. The Questions: 6. Scheney Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company's work in process inventory on March 31 consisted of 20,000 units. The units in the ending work in process inventory were 100% complete with respect to materials and 70% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the cost per equivalent unit for March was $2.50 for materials and $4.75 for labor and overhead, the total cost in the...
