...case 11 Ss&sm$ ef ffsrsfsresst The School of Business, one unit in a public university enrolling over 40,000 students, has approximately 2,100 students in its bachelor's, master's, and doctorate programs emphasizing such areas of business as accounting, finance, information and operations management, marketing, management, and others. Because the School of Business must serve a diverse student population on limited resources, it feels it is important to accurately measure students' satisfaction with the school's programs and services. Accurate measurement of srudent satisfaction will enable the school to target improvement efforts to those areas of greatest concern to students, whether that be by major, r,rppott services, or some other aspect of their educational experience. The school feels that improving its service to its customers (students) will result in more satisfied alumni, better community relations, additional applicans, and increased corporate involvement. Because graduate and undergraduate students are believed to have different expectations and needs, the school plans to investigate the satisfaction of these two groups separately. In a previous survey of graduating seniors using open-ended questions, three primary areas of concern were identified: the faculty, classes/curriculum, and resources. Resources consisted of five specific areas: Undergraduate Advising Services, the Learning Center, Computer Facilities, the Library, and the Career ...

...Brief Introduction The late Nelson Mandela once said, “No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.” Education plays an important part in the building of a nation. The Indian government realises its significance and hence has taken several initiatives and reforms over the years to impart education and instil the values of secularism, equality, respect for democracy and self-belief among its youth. According to the rankings released by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), 17 Indian universities have made it to the list of top 300 universities in the Asian continent. Also, the topmost Indian management institute, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) has been globally ranked the fourth-best overall among 20 leading B-schools, according to the Economist. The education sector in India is at a vital stage of its growth. The vast diversity in ethnicities coupled with varying demographics has prompted different players to invest in the sector. Meanwhile, the upward surge in the Indian economy and consequent increase in income levels has aided the spending on education in the average Indian household. Market Size It is expected that the Indian education sector’s market size will increase to Rs 602,410 crore (US$ 100.23 billion) by FY 15 from Rs 341,180 crore (US$ 56.77 billion) in FY 12, due to the expected strong demand for quality education. The present Indian higher education system comprises of about 700 universities and over 35,500 colleges. More than 85...

...Module 8 Paper Business research methods Literature Review March 8, 2013 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to review literature discussing the issue of liberal arts and business. In this literature review, the distinguishing factors between liberal arts and business are discussed. The paper discuses the importance of each discipline and reviews the importance of aligning these disciplines into a university curricula to widen the perspective of college graduates, and improve their overall well being as human beings and as professionals. This review has shown that greater importance should be given to the qualities that liberal arts education brings to the work place and the society in general. By blending liberal arts and business education, graduates are equipped with multiple tools to tackle adversities in their work place, think analytically, and solve problems they might encounter which are not thought in traditional classroom environment. Introduction What is liberal art? According to Bogart, 2011, it's an education that provides an overview of the arts, humanities (the study of the human condition), social sciences, mathematics and natural sciences. Traditionally, liberal art majors find it more difficult obtaining employment because it is assumed that their area of study is not specific enough or perhaps lacks the concentration needed to contribute quickly in a business organization. The advantages a liberal art education provides for a student is the ability...

...fulfilled life as they exchange money for the services and goods businesses provide them with. Appearance-wise, the mechanics of a business seem to be simplistic, but in truth, businesses are some of the most complex fields to deal with in the occupational world. As an aspiring industrial-organizational psychologist, I dream to undertake projects in which I am able to take on the complications of the business world and contribute greatly to the improvements of said-businesses. Fortunately, my university offers an amazing undergraduate business minor program, in which I am to complete along with my major in psychology. With my major and minor, I will be able to learn and understand the underlying principles of businesses before diving into my desired field. Industrial-organizational psychology is basically business psychology in layman’s terms. Industrial-organizational psychologists deal with the research behind employee training, recruitment, assessment, and productivity. They help make businesses improve by first making sure that employees are satisfied with their working conditions and are able to do the work efficiently. Besides human resources and organizational behavior, they also deal with the ongoing problems of administration, management, sales, and marketing that businesses have. Personally, I have always found the underlying principles of business and psychology interesting, and with industrial-organizational psychology, I am able to indulge in both fields. Because I am...

...The benefits of earning a college degree can help you in many ways. It can help you get a job easier. The higher degree you have the more satisfied with your job you will be. During an economic down turn employers often have to cut employees but if you have a college degree then the chances of you being laid-off are substantially lower. Higher degrees tend to earn more, if someone only has a high school diploma then they will earn $32,500 per year while someone with a PhD will earn $100,000 per year. However your field of expertise will also decide how much money make. I chose WVU because it is close to home and is cheaper than going to a college that is out of state. They also have all of the classes that I want to take. The tuition for...

...Picking a major is a very tough decision for many undergraduate college students as they are still exploring and learning about many fields. In my own personal experience I had a very tough time choosing between two different fields that I hoped to expand on and hopefully work in one day. Ultimately with the right advisors and guidance I was directed towards the major that I am currently pursuing. The first time I thought about what I wanted to be I believed I would grow up to be an astronaut. However as I grew up and matured I slowly started to lose interest in exploring the unknown wonders of space and instead chose to study the unknown wonders found here on earth within humans. Consequently I decided to seek a livelihood in the sociology field. I believed that following this path I would finally satisfy my curiosity about humans and their behavior. Thus upon arriving to college I was introduced to an advisor in my field that would help me construct the perfect road map to graduation. However when I started to ask some questions about my desired career I was astonished about how much information I was unaware of. This resulted in me deciding that this major was not the indicated one for me...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the 21st century, entrepreneurship becomes a new trend. Many universities and colleges offer entrepreneurship as a major. Due to government’s incentives, self-employment rate among the Malaysian undergraduates has gradually increased over the years. This study intends to examine the entrepreneurial intention among Malaysian undergraduates. Based on previous study, 99.9 percent of all businesses in the United States are small businesses, with three‐fourths representing the self‐employed, self-employed has become leading components of our economy (2006). Entrepreneurs would also be considered as job creators since they need to hire employees working for their businesses. Young undergraduate could choose self-employment as their occupation due to financially affluent background. By using the advantage of lax security and tax system for self-employed, undergraduate could decide to open their own illegitimate business or to earn more profit by avoiding tax charge. In this research, we study the scope of undergraduate students who run their own business. The main aspects that will be examined is how they run their business, what motivates them to do so, how they cope with balance of studies and business through interviewing. This study draws its concepts and findings primarily from interviews with 7 purposive respondents who are currently self-employed full time students. Based on the results of the study, the family background is quite influential...

...Marital status and gender as predictors of undergraduate academic performance: a United Arab Emirates context Justin Thomas, Monique Raynor, Amal Al-Marzooqi Zayed University, UAE Introduction There is a considerable international body of literature exploring the predictors and determinants of undergraduate academic performance (Barrow et al., 2009; Betts & Morell, 1999; Cohn et al., 2004; Smith & Naylor, 2001). The predictor variables explored encompass a full biopsychosocial spectrum, from familial socio-economic status, to institutional class sizes. Two of the most immediately accessible factors for exploration are gender and marital status. While these proposed predictors of academic performance have been widely explored across many nations, relatively little work has been undertaken within the Gulf region (Harb & El-Shaarawi, 2007). It is likely that region-specific socio-cultural factors will affect how, and to what extent, gender and marital status influence academic performance. Given that many of the Gulf nations are presently attempting to develop knowledge based economies, such research may inform the development of undergraduate educational strategy and policy. The small body of research within the Gulf region focusing on gender and marital status is fairly unequivocal. Using either cumulative grade point averages (CGPA), or specific course grades as indicators of performance, virtually all of the published studies report females as outperforming males.

So my Final Year project and the Powers subjects which I studied in the last two semesters in my bachelor study from UET Lahore Pakistan, enforce me to do Specialization and resolve my ambiguities in the field of Power and Energy systems. Hence engineering with Power as my major was the first choice for my undergraduate studies. Right since the beginning of my undergraduate study electrical is a subject that has fascinated me with its power of applications. The subjects that I have studied include Power Electronics, Power System Analysis, Power Transmission and Distribution, Power System Protection, High Voltage Engineering. These laid the foundation for my courses in Electrical power & Energy Technologies at a later stage. My undergraduate studies already focus on the Energy aspect of Electrical Power Engineering. A master degree in electrical engineering with Power and Energy as major field is the next logical step. For the past two months I have been working as a trainee engineer at the Japan Power Generation Limited. I am working with the Siemens Maintenance Engineers in the Electrical Workshop in the Power Plant. The complete Protection and Maintenance of all Generators and associated equipments is the responsibility of...
