...MARKETING RESEARCH METHODS ASSIGNMENT 1 (RESEARCH PROPOSAL) Factors influencing the consumer buying decision of mobile phone in Malaysia Group Members: Word count-2579 1.1 Introduction 1.1 Background With recent advancements in technology, the term mobile phones become obsolete and is replaced with the word ‘smart phones’, which has adjusted its position as the ‘new information medium’ (May and Hearn, 2005), due to the ever increasing convenience and features, such as, MMS, GPS, video call services and many more, allowing society itself to shift towards smartphone purchases (Min, et al., 2012). AC Neilsen (2012) reported that Malaysia is ranked highly in its region for smartphone usage, a total of 27%, while the closest contenders have only a slight difference in percentage (Thailand, 28% and Philippines, 29%). Furthermore, the perception of smartphones being a luxury item or a status symbol shifts to it being viewed as a necessity to daily life (Walsh and White, 2006) may have added the increase in usage rates, this can be supported by a study conducted by Syed Yahya Kamal, Syed Ardi and Tasir, Zaidatun (2008), which reported that mobile phones were viewed as a necessity by university students as it changed the methods of learning in universities. For example, info graphic research showed that out of the 57% mobile phone users, 40% use their phones to study before exams (Alexander, 2011). Furthermore...

...Organizational Loyalty: ABS-CBN DECSCI2 K34 MINI RESEARCH PAPER Dr. Dimaano Gino Tang Joshua Moya Ynna San Juan John Anthony Castelar Acknowledgement The authors would like to thank Dr. Dimaano for providing us the template for this paper and the questionnaires as well; De La Salle University for the facilities for our research and ABS-CBN for providing us with participants. Executive Summary When preparing to write an executive summary, ask yourself the following questions: • Who will read your executive summary? Sometimes your executive summary may have an “intended” audience: your professor might require you to write it for a CEO, department head, or supervisor, for example. On other assignments, your audience won’t have a specific identity, but always keep in mind that the reader of an executive summary needs to know all of the important information in the main document without reading the actual document. Even if you know that your instructor will be reading everything that you submit, write the executive summary as a “stand alone” document. • What is the main document’s main topic, theme, or idea? Most reports have a “thesis” or central point that they are seeking to communicate. Try to sum this up in two or three sentences. If you are having trouble with this, imagine that someone has asked you, “what’s this report about?” and that you have to explain...

...Organization name - Unversity of Virginia Years of teaching - 30 years Type of learning environment - Within the hospital- hands on What kind of assessments are used? We use different assessments. We verbally ask the students questions as well as we watch them work. Questionairres are sent out to the different departments that they are working in to assess their abilities and their work ethic. They are also giving tests about what they did for the week and what they thought could be better or was good about what they did. They are also asked to asses their teaching and themselves. What information do you want your learner to retain? We are hoping that they retain all that they learn. They will be nurses that will work with patients in sometimes life emergiencies. We want them to know what to do and how to do it. If the patient can be saved, we want them to have the ability to do it. How are assessments changes implemented? Once all the data is compiled and read through we take in account what everyone has said and critiqued. We can make changes immediately once all are in agreement. There are 5 of us that make that decision based on the facts of the tests, the journals and the questionairres. Are assessments result reported to the institution? The assessments are reported to the school as well as to the hospital. We will not pass or hire someone that is deemed not ready. Just passing all the cirrcculum does not make you a good nurse. What you do once...

The researchers augmented observational study with questionairres in this ethnographic research study; typical ethnographic studies are observational (Plano Clark et al., 2015). They chose to interview two sets of individuals, focus groups split by age and gender from the community, along with healthcare facility staff and leadership across nine locations, three rural, three semi-urban, and three urban facilities (Mutale et al., 2013). Researchers were qualified in quantitative research practices, and received pre-approval for the study from the relevant research review boards (Mutale et al., 2013). The interview guides for data collection were well prepared, and adapted to the Zambian environment.

Research is a key aspect of journalism and as researchers we employ various sourdes and methods of research. Throughout this essay I will explore and examine the different sources available to journalists, the different types of interviews and I will describe the need for appropriate referencing of all source of material. Sources available. We live in an age overflowing with source materials, and these sources are easily accessible to us. The two main types of sources are primary and secondary sources. A pimary source is information that is gathered from an original source. These include; intervies, questionairres, surveys, observation, histoical documents and experiments to name but a few. A secondary source is information that has already been gathered by other people and/or organisations. A secondary source interpets and analyzes primary sources. (Locke, 2013) There are both online and offline secondary sources. Primary Surveys and questionnaires A very important aspect of research work is using surveys. Surveys are a primary source.There are two main types of surveys, a questionnarrie and an interview. Surveys and questionnaires are usually composed of one or more questions that are directed to a certain target audience.

Financial issues D. Healthcare Issues E. Positive and negative emotional effects F. Conclusion Abstract A lot of parents are leaving the responsibility of parenting roles on grandparents due to numerous personal and economic situations. Many of these households may contain three generations, with the most raid growth occurring in households containing grandchildren and grandparents only (Bryson and Casper, 1999). In filling these roles there are numerous health, legal, financial, education, and emotional barriers that make this a very difficult task for grandparents. If they are not successful the alternative for most of these children is definitely foster or inadequate care. The role of grandparents in raising grandchildren is not likely to reverse soon. Others factors that are becoming more prevalent is the number of single parents and with diminishing social welfare system parents need more help from their immediate family members and grandparents...

...What are the physical and cognitive benefits of exercise on patients with multiple sclerosis? 1. Bayraktar D, Guclu-Gunduz A, Yazici G, et al. Effects of Ai-Chi on balance, functional mobility, strength and fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis: a pilot study. NeuroRehabilitation. 2013; 33(3):431-7. This research study was designed to examine the effects of Ai-Chi exercises in a swimming pool on balance and mobility in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Poor balance and decreased mobility is a common issue with MS, and the decline often limits daily activities. Researchers recruited twenty-three females affected by MS, and divided them into two groups. The exercise group performed Ai-Chi exercises for a 60 minute session twice a week for eight weeks. The control group did a home exercise program that only involved abdominal breathing and active range of motion exercises. Upon conclusion of the program, subjects were tested on static balance, functional mobility, fatigue, and muscle strength. The exercise group showed significant improvements across all measures, but the control group did not. This shows that the aquatic exercise program is a viable option to combat the negative effects of MS. A strength of this study was the use of aquatic therapy. The researchers stated that although this therapy is widely used, more studies need to be performed to gain more knowledge. Recording results on patients is concrete evidence that these programs work. This study was published...

...1. Understand How to Identify and Prioritise Work-related Development Requirements Personal development is a continuous process to help develop a person’s potential to the fullest and also learning new skills in order to practice new things. Personal development is important. Many of us work in ever changing and competitive environments. If we don't keep up with training, we can miss key opportunities, it also makes us more marketable and efficient in delivering a quality service. It can also give us a focus so that there is motivation to carry on. Although early life development and early formative experiences within the family, at school etc, personal development should not stop later in life. (www.skillsyouneed.com 1st May 2016) Most of us are motivated by needs. Maslow 1970 suggests that all individuals have an in-built need for personal development which occurs through the process called self actualisation. Maslow developed the Hierarchy of needs in which he provided a understanding of human motivation and needs which needed to be met in the given order in order to progress. 1. Psychological Needs The need for oxygen, food, sex etc. these are the basic needs required for survival. 2. Safety Needs. These are the needs for security and safety ranging from security of home or income and physical security. 3. Social Needs. The need for love and affection and feeling if they belong and not feel loneliness. 4. Esteem Needs. If people...

...Description of the topic General View Cohesion policy in the European Union has the intended purpose of reducing differences between the member states in matters of economic, social and territorial importance and works to ensure that each region achieves its full potential. Moreover, Article 174 of the Lisbon Treaty states that the policy aims to promote ‘overall harmonious development’ of the EU through the ‘strengthening of its economic, social and territorial cohesion’. According to the European Commission, ignoring the disparities that are apparent across the EU would undermine the single market and single currency, justifying the large percentage of the budget that is spent on these policies . The Greek Case As we know Greek regions have benefited from the inflow of community funds since 1981,when Greece joined the European Union. At this point we believe that we have to present briefly the main funding that Greece has received from 1986 to 2006.Firstly, we have to mention the Mediterranean Integrated Programmes (MIPs) from 1986 to 1993,which <<pushed>> the available funds to small infrastructure projects in Greece. Moreover, we have also to state that the 1994-1999 Community Support Framework, gave the incentives to the country to implement the major infrastructure projects of national character. These infrastructures (railway network,ports,highways) helped Greece not only to connect with other countries but also to be prepared to enter in the Economic...

...ld students be allowed to grade their teachers? Teachers and students both are the main part of the school. School doesn’t work the either ways. Teachers make us study and improve, while we implement it. Teachers grade us on our basic skills as well as the way we study and improve. But what if the teacher is not capable enough to do so? We should get a chance to grade them too. Almost all schools doesn’t encourage this kind of grading, or maybe none does. According to me this type of grading should be taken into account. Teachers should be graded on their teaching skill, behaviour in class and the interaction level with the students. What if the teacher is very strict and over rules the children or a single child? The child has to remain quiet and keep on facing it, as he doesn’t have any right to oppose him or make him realise, that what he/she is doing is wrong. The grading of the teachers would help the school to understand the children’s problem. If the teacher is not making the students study up to the mark, they have no options other than implementing by self. This kind of problems arise in all the schools but no schools try to solve it or make a better way. If all the schools would help the students this way, the students would love learning as well as will like to interact with the teachers. All the grades given to the teachers should be taken into account and should be checked by the higher authorities. If this happen then all schools would have students who would...
