It should include research and reflection components, and will represent 20% of the student’s course grade. The finished paper should be typed, double-spaced with 12-point font, and one-inch margins and use all appropriate APA conventions. It should be free from spelling, punctuation or usage errors.

...Two research approaches I would consider to use in my research method would be Interviews and Document reviews. Both of these I feel would show excellent results and shine light on my topic. Granted realistically for this assignment conducting Interviews is not possible but ideally I believe interviews would provide the best information and answers. Since I am limited my best bet for this assignment will be the Document studies strategy. First I want to hit on the Interview approach. According to this week’s reading assignment, “Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques. Common Qualitative Methods”, There are two different types of interviews. There is a structured interview, in which a carefully worded questionnaire is administered and an in-depth interview, in which the interviewer does not follow a rigid form. I would choose an In-depth interview and if it was possible I would interview individuals that work at the US Open Source Center. Much like Kimberly Dozier did in her article “Social media a growing part of foreign intelligence”. This method would fit perfectly into my research strategy by allowing me to ask questions I have and receive answers from key individuals in the intelligence community that actually utilize the information online that individuals post and would be able to give me firsthand knowledge on the matter. Now obviously this scenario would be a perfect world where issues of classified information and having access to the individuals at...

Background of the research: Microfinance has emerged in 70s and officially displayed in 1981 through the establishment of Grameen Bank (GB) by noble laureate Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh, a south-east Asian country (Grameen-info, 2011). In last three decades, more than 100 countries have adopted microfinance for socio-economic development through reducing poverty (Money, 2011). Microfinance is the combination of three domains of financial support—micro-insurance, micro-savings and microcredit where the third one is initially provided to poor for poverty reduction. In recent years, the theory has been controversial tremendously. The prime minister of Bangladesh, sheikh Hasina viewed that Microcredit has been proved completely unable to reduce poverty even it is sucking the blood of the poor (NY times, 2011). Another scholar, the...

It is essential that you look at the best in business and understand how they have become successful. Go out and find a VERY successful entrepreneur who has a dramatic impact upon their field. I would prefer that you seek this person out in the field in which you and your team are going to he doing your project, or it could be a real winner (not your parents or close relatives) in a field in which you are personally interested perhaps for a job for the future.

A good businessperson loves to talk about their successes and their abilities (sometimes they will talk too much), and they often have a compelling...

There is a deficit in the amount of female managers currently on international assignment. The primary objective of this thesis was to identify the challenges facing women, which would have prevented more women from embracing international assignments, and to more thoroughly explore stated challenges in order to pinpoint possible smallscale solutions. The thesis was based on IHRM. The main research method was a collective case study, which consisted mainly of dual perspective qualitative research. The primary conclusions of this thesis are that with additional local support, the support of the corporation and better repatriation strategies, more women would be likely to enter into the field of international assignment.

...I follow “International Business and Management Studies” . For one of my courses, I have an assignment to interview a company where ICT is used significantly. The first thing that came in my head when I wanted to start this assignment was “Facebook”. Facebook has become one of the leading social network in the world. But behind this great company lies a mass of people who have realized it, and today employees do their best to improve this network. My mission for my course is to have an interview with a company like yours. For my assignment I made a few questions, I will be pleased if you can answer them. 1. Which operating system is currently being used, are there plans to change or update in the future? If so which new operating system will be used and when? 2. Which Office Application system is currently being used? Indicate the presentation of workers who use each application, (for example e-mail (Outlook) -100%) Are there plans to upgrade or change, if so when? 3. Which other ICT applications are used within the company and why? (Think about databases, CRMs, portals) 4. Where does the company see the future going to (in regards to ICT) 5. Does the company encourage home-workers and what facilities do they offer. 6. When an employee starts working (graduation at HBO level) what ICT skills are important for that employee to have.

...working on the assignment, for which we had to interview a business personality. The theme of our assignment was ‘SUCCESS IN BUSINESS’. This was really an appealing challenge for me as I was introduced to this type of quality education for the first time in my life, and had to undergo a series of procedures which were advised by my lecturer. The lecturer divided the whole class in groups of four or five and wanted us to work on this assignment as a team, which was a great thought as we were entering the first phase of our professional life. All of my group members were new to each other, all with different mindsets, views, and lifestyles; the only thing that was common among us more or less was the education we had, the level of enthusiasm that we shared and the notes provided by the lecturer to help us accomplish our task. The first and the most important task that our group faced was to have a sober but an eye-catching name for our group so as to represent ourselves in front of the whole class, all of the group members came out with different ideas and wanted their pick to be the group name, being the team leader I was trying to brainstorm all of the incredible names that we had in our minds for the group, but soon their was a conflict arising because of the difference of opinions, at last we rationalized our options and hammered out in favour of ‘BUSINESS GIANTS’ as we all shared the inspiration of being giants in the business world. The next phase of my assignment was to select...

Given that my career path is unique and fairly modern, I struggled to locate an interviewee who could provide me with the valuable information I need as I begin to navigate the career world. I was, however, able to interview my internship supervisor who is the youth services program coordinator at Mansfield Youth Services.
