Case Study 3.07

The scores revealed a couple different things. First the pre-test scores were compared to ensure that both classes started at the same level. (50). The pre-tests were compared by each of the three sections: multiple choice, labeling and overall scores.(50) Group one or the control group’s starting score for labeling was 2.96 and group two or the app group’s was 3.37. For Multiple choice the control group had a 4.85, and the app group had a 4.53. For the overall scores, the control group had a 7.82 and the app group had a 8.27. (50) The scores are not significantly different from each other; therefore, it shows that the two groups started at an equal level.

-4/SD = -4/2.7 = -1.48 ≈ -1.5 SD (negative means towards the right therefore there would be an increase)

According to class discussion, the way researchers decide whether to use qualitative or quantitative analyses in their research design depends on the research question. Often, the question naturally lends itself to either qualitative or quantitative analysis (Dalton Lecture: Nov. 9). The same is true when deciding which method to use for evaluation research. Quantitative methods of analyses are often used to identify the specific effects of a social program. However, when investigating a program’s process or seeking to better understand the complexities of a social program, qualitative analysis is the common choice (Dalton Lecture: Nov.16). When conducting quantitative research, researchers must be aware of levels of measurement because the way in which concepts and variables are measured influence the validity of the results (Pg. 65). There are four levels of measurement that researchers must be aware of when working with quantitative data: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio (Pg. 76). Levels of measurement are chosen as researchers operationalize their variables. Understanding which level of measurement is appropriate for each variable helps one decide which measure of central tendency to report (Pg. 79). For example, if the variable is happiness and participants are asked to rank their level of happiness on a scale of 1 to 10, this type of measurement is ordinal. Therefore, the best measure of central tendency to report is the median,

Now, although the data above provides a broad gauge as to the most successful channels, the report further investigates if these two channels continues to be the best options on the basis of two income group levels—by dividing the data set into a low-income and a high-income group. (See table below)

This case study will describe why Apple Inc. is a very successful company and has become the second largest public company in the world. It all started in the 1980's when Apple started producing home computers. This helped those who were full-time students and workers by also producing a particular computer, the Macintosh computer. However, in 1985 Steve Jobs lost against the Apple board, and because of the unfortunate negative outcome of the meeting, Steve found a positive outlook from the situation. He then founded another PC company called NeXT while Apple took a turn for the worst. In 1996 Apple reconnected with Steve and bought his NeXT Company and gained the technology that would later help

Risks of warehousing involve: Lack of strong sponsor or sponsor not at high enough level to get people motivated.

Generally, there are four strategic approaches for case study analysis as identified by (Yin, 2014), namely, theoretical proposition reliance, ground up data strategy, descriptive and plausible rival explanation. Theoretical proposition strategy conforms to the idea of data been analysed based on the theoretical position of the research and study objectives (Gray, 2014; Yin, 2014). On the other hand, different analytical methods can be combine with analytical strategies in qualitative studies analysis such as pattern matching, time series analysis and thematically analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Yin, 2014). Due to the nature of this study, thematic analysis technique is employed. Thematic analysis is a technique

In 1997, chairman August Busch III vowed to make his company a leader in mining its customers ' buying patterns. The key to Anheuser-Busch 's real-time analysis of marketing effectiveness is timely data: getting information back from wholesalers and retailers on what is selling where and when.

Dear Amanda, as you know so many start-up small businesses like yours and often run in to the trouble of mismanagement because of so many assumptions based on establishing the business mission, vision statements; human resource management; lack of employee motivation; lack of properly defined working standards for employees and other outcomes measurable; not taking any concern of negative information about the organization especially from the clients which costs the organizations image and remaining too busy to pay attention to the establishment of problem

To identify the key elements of the resistanceto change described in this situation, one may make use of the six Change Approaches of Kotter and Schlesinger.[1]The model prevents, minimizes or descreases resistance to change in organizations. According to Kotter and Schlesinger (1979), there are four reasons that why people resist change, three of which are applicable to this case:

The Quantitative data was analysed using each student individualised tests and the percentages were calculated of tally marks on a chart. Out of the 27 students in the class, 26 students answered all the questions. A couple of the student put dashes where they could not answer the question or did not know the answer. A couple of the boys refused to do the tests properly. When each testing took place, it was noticed that there was a real possibility that the results did not accurately reflect what occurred as many of the student were either absent due to illness or away on school business on the days when each test was conducted.

the average result of students in Latvia was 545 points with standard deviation 62 points, the average result of the group with the lowest achievements was 440 points but that of the students from the

On Friday the 13th of February I interviewed the Liquor Store Manager from Makro Springfield, Babs Moodley. Babs informed me on information regarding Labour Relations and incidents involving employees and the CCMA. He also offered insight into organisational structures and methods they use to problem solve employee grievances.
