SURVEY REPORT
INTRODUCTION
Management of knowledge is one of the domineering methods that are being used by the companies in order to encounter their pre-emptive and planned requirements. It is comprised of the ingenuities, procedures, tactics and schemes that endure and boost the modification, sharing, assessment, and storage and information formulation. Therefore, the practices of knowledge management play an important role in attaining company goals and objectives in effective manner. It helps generating value for the company (Alegre, Sengupta and Lapiedra, 2013).SURVEY AIM
To find out the impact of knowledge management in Qatar Airways on their strategic planningOBJECTIVE
Objective of the conducted survey is to scrutinise practices of the knowledge management that affect the strategic planning activities and also evaluate the issues and factors that are associated with the knowledge management and put their both positive and negative impact on the strategic planning of the organisation. In order to analyse, the researcher emphasises on the following research objective:
· To identify the relationship between Knowledge management and strategic planning
· To evaluate the factors of KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT that affects the practices of strategic planning.
· To examine how the practices of strategic planning affect the corporate performance of Qatar airways.
· To determine the importance of strategic planning on Qatar airways.SURVEY QUESTION
Intended for obtaining the above-illustrated objectives of this project, the researcher will search pro solutions to the substantial questions:
· Is there any association among knowledge management and strategic planning?
· What are the major elements of knowledge management that affect the strategic planning practices of Qatar Airways?
· How the practices of knowledge management and strategic planning impact the performance of Qatar Airways?
· Are the practices of knowledge management important for organisations?REASEARCH FACTORS
Knowledge management communicates important information widely and quickly and it assists to address this difficulty throughout modified portal as well as particular search engines. If average procedures as well as measures have been distinct they ought to constantly be followed. There are many factors that involve knowledge management. They are either independent or depend on other factors. All these factors are categorized mainly into three categories which are further classified into other factors. (Lindner and Wald, 2011).

Data Gathering Plan
Learning and Development in Corporations
Learning and development in corporations involve different stages and procedures that require the participation of all the stakeholders. The decision-making process in the data gathering about corporation development entails information from employees, management, and other subordinate staff. A plan to gather data is undertaken tom collect appropriate information regarding learning in corporations. The paper discusses a primary method of gathering information about development and learning in corporations to inform decision-making.
Institutional Steps of Collecting Data for Analysis
Step 1: Definition of Question
Learning and development of corporation require the sound strategic decision making plan. Therefore, it would be necessary to collect information from employees and the management to find a solution. The decision making process is essential for the growth of the organization. It enables the process of achieving the right ways to manage the various steps in the corporation. One of the question to help in the development of the organization involves, Can the management include employees in strategic decision-making prices for development?
Step 2: Measurement Priorities
The measurement priorities used in the research include questioning the employees on their responses. The willingness of the staff and management to participate in collaboration is also measured. Available information inventory begins the formation of the data warehousing process (Wayman, 2005). Establishment of the methods to learn in the organization is also tackled with the question. The development step of realizing success in the management of employees will be measured through the study. The influence of development and learning in the decision-making process is present in the discussion.
Step 3: Data Collection
Information on the different ways of managing and developing a corporation will be obtained from different perspectives. The potential of realizing credible results in the study is attainable through the analysis of articles on decision-making. Development of the interview template then follows to help in saving time. Every individual is entitled to the information and opinion provided (Hora, Bouwma-Gearhart, & Park, 2017). Naming the system and file storage is essential in the process of maintaining consistency and reducing errors. Individuals responsible for the collection of information have to utilize the right steps in establishing ways of learning. The employees are provided with the questionnaires and the responses recorded. Gathering of data will also occur through observation that will provide type opportunity of analyzing the informat ...

The study analysed the factors that influence the effectiveness of strategy execution in Open and Distance Learning institutions. The qualitative research methodology was employed with the research design taking a case study approach. Primary data were gathered through interviews and direct and participant observation methods. The study also utilized secondary data from journal publications mainly focusing on the area of strategy execution. The research population was composed of management in ODL universities in the SADC region. Respondents to the interviews were selected from ODL Universities in three SADC countries using the simple random sampling technique. The highest levels of confidentiality and ethical standards were adhered to so as to protect the integrity of the respondents and that of the Universities. The study revealed that strategy execution could be enhanced through the following; identification of institutional competences, translate strategy into explicit implementation guidelines, adapt to rapidly changing conditions, knowledgeable and engaged leadership, prudential use of resources and worker buy-in

Abstract
Evaluation is an essential component in the life cycle of all health IT applications and the key to successful translation of these applications into clinical settings. In planning an evaluation the central questions regarding purpose, scope, and focus of the system must be asked. This chapter focuses on the larger principles of program evaluation with the goal of informing health IT evaluations in clinical settings. The reader is expected to gain sufficient background in health IT evaluation to lead or participate in program evaluation for applications or systems.
Formative evaluation and summative evaluation are discussed. Three levels of theory are presented, including scientific theory, implementation models, and program theory (logic models). Specific scientific theories include social cognitive theories, diffusion of innovation, cognitive engineering theories, and information theory. Four implementation models are reviewed: PRECEDE-PROCEED, PARiHS, RE-AIM, and quality improvement. Program theory models are discussed, with an emphasis on logic models.
A review of methods and tools is presented. Relevant research designs are presented for health IT evaluations, including time series, multiple baseline, and regression discontinuity. Methods of data collection specific to health IT evaluations, including ethnographic observation, interviews, and surveys, are then reviewed.
Introduction
The outcome of evaluation is information that is both useful at the program level and generalizable enough to contribute to the building of science. In the applied sciences, such as informatics, evaluation is critical to the growth of both the specialty and the science. In this chapter program evaluation is defined as the “systematic collection of information about the activities, characteristics, and results of programs to make judgments about the program, improve or further develop program effectiveness, inform decisions about future programming, and/or increase understanding.”1 Health IT interventions are nearly always embedded in ...

Employee Perceptions of Board Effectiveness in a State Owned Medical Aid Soci...IOSRJBM
The research study was aimed at assessing employee perceptions of board effective in state enterprises using in a public sector medical aid institution in Zimbabwe. The objectives of the study were to assess how employees at PSMAS perceive board effective in state owned medical aid society. A case study approach was used. Quantitative design was used with a sample of sample size of 80 employees of the medical aid society. Simple random sampling technique was used. The major findings of the study were that employees were satisfied with the process used to appoint board members, perceived board as members lacking skills and experience required to deal with board issues. Further, the results reflected that employees perceived the board as lacking diversity coupled with a lack of understanding of the knowledge of the sector in which the organisation operates. The study recommended that board members must devote considerable time to company board duties as well as crafting a framework of internal controls. However, the results obtained cannot be generalised to all state owned enterprises and should not be viewed as conclusive but should be regarded as a guide for further studies on the topic in other enterprises
evidence shows that linear models can lead to better organizationa.docxgitagrimston
evidence shows that linear models can lead to better organizational outcomes: graduate-school admissions decisions and hiring decisions.
Improving Admissions Decisions
The value of using linear models in hiring, admissions, and selection decisions is highlighted by work Moore and his colleagues undertook on the interpretation of grades (Moore, Swift, Sharek, & Gino, 2007). They found substantial differences in the grading practices of colleges, even between institutions of similar quality and selectivity. The results show that students from colleges with more lenient grading are more likely to get into graduate school, even after controlling for the quality of the institution and the quality of its students. Due to a variant of the representativeness heuristic called the correspondence bias (Gilbert & Malone, 1995), graduate schools misinterpret the high GPAs of alumni from lenient-grading institutions as indicating high performance. The correspondence bias describes the tendency to take others at face value, assuming that their behavior (or their GPAs) corresponds to their innate traits. This bias persists even when those making the admissions decisions have full information about different institutions' grading practices. It seems that people have trouble sufficiently discounting high grades that are due to lenient grading.
By contrast, it would be easy to set up a linear program to avoid this error. Indeed, Dawes (1971) did just that in his work on graduate-school admissions decisions. Dawes used a common method for developing his linear model: he first modeled the admissions decisions of a four-person committee. In other words, he systematically analyzed how the committee made its admissions decisions relying on three factors: (1) Graduate Record Examination scores, (2) undergraduate grade point average, and (3) the quality of the undergraduate school. Dawes then used the variable weightings he obtained from modeling the experts in a linear model to predict the average rating of 384 other applicants. He found that the model could be used to rule out 55 percent of the applicant pool without ever rejecting an applicant that the selection committee had in fact accepted. In addition, the linear model was better than the committee itself in predicting future ratings of the accepted and matriculated applicants by faculty! In 1971, Dawes estimated that the use of a linear model as a screening device by the nation's graduate schools (not to mention by the larger domains of undergraduate admissions, corporate recruiting, and so on) could result in an annual savings of about $18 million in professional time. Adjusted for today's dollars and the current number of graduate-school applications, that number would easily exceed $500 million.
Improving Hiring Decisions
Hiring decisions are among the most important decisions an organization can make. Virtually every corporation in the world relies on unstructured, face-to-face employment interviews as t ...

1.0 Introduction
This study aims in providing adequate descriptive research methods with the combination of exploratory interventions to measure the antecedents and its impact on consumer ethical behaviours, relating to ethical product consumption which facilitates strategic and decision making implementations for ShopHere. This study too, studies the viability of the ‘ethical consumers’ segment.
ShopHere prides themselves in selling quality products, having a unique proposition of being ethical traded and produced. ShopHere has this consistent value throughout all their various product offerings in a multi-channel, and e-commerce distribution channel across Australia.
Ethical products are referred to as products that exhibit one or more social or environmental principles which can affect a consumer purchase decision, or attributes that are positively perceived (Bezencon and Bilili 2015). The purchase intention towards ethical products will be the focus of this research.
In this research, we also investigate consumer ethics. Which is defined as the moral principles and standards that direct behaviours of individuals of the obtains, usage and disposal of goods and services (Vitell 2015). The overall aims are to identify ethical consumers and their motivations and attitudes toward ethical products. Attitudes and motivations, coupling up with demographic variables converge into the notion of involvement (Bezencon and Bilili 2015).
The three main themes identified in this study on consumer’s Purchase Intentions towards ethical products are based on the emerging themes from the systematic literature review, referring to Cost, Social-Cultural, and Ease of Purchasing factors.
1.1 Research Objectives
Research for this study looks into the assessment of workability, and to justify the investor’s decisions in ShopHere’s business strategy by determining what are the driving factors towards the purchase intention of ethical products.
1.2 Research Question
Ethical Consumers - What are motivating factor(s) driving the purchase of ethical products?

Program Evaluation

TK Logan and David Royse
A
variety of programs have been developed to address social problems such
as drug addiction, homelessness, child abuse, domestic violence, illiteracy,
and poverty. The goals of these programs may include directly addressing
the problem origin or moderating the effects of these problems on indi-
viduals, families, and communities. Sometimes programs are developed
to prevent something from happening such as drug use, sexual assault, or crime.
These kinds of problems and programs to help people are often what allracts many
social workers to the profession; we want to be part of the mechanism through which
society provides assistance to those most in need. Despite low wages, bureaucratic red
tape, and routinely uncooperative clients, we tirelessly provide services tha t are invaluable
but also at various Limes may be or become insufficient or inappropriate. But without
conducting eva luation, we do not know whether our programs are helping or hurting,
that is, whether they only postpone the hunt for real solutions or truly construct new
futures for our clients. This chapter provides an overview of program evaluation in gen -
eral and outlines the primary considerations in designing program evaluations.
Evaluation can be done informally or formally. We are constantly, as consumers, infor-
mally evaluating products, services, and in formation. For example, we may choose not to
return to a store or an agency again if we did not evaluate the experience as pleasant.
Similarl y, we may mentally take note of unsolicited comments or anecdotes from clients and
draw conclusions about a program. Anecdotal and informal approaches such as these gen-
erally are not regarded as carrying scientific credibility. One reason is that decision biases
play a role in our "informal" evaluation. Specifically, vivid memories or strongly negative or
positive anecdotes will be overrepresented in our summaries of how things are evaluated.
This is why objective data are necessary to truly understand what is or is not working.
By contrast, formal evaluations systematically examine data from and about programs
and their outcomes so that better decisions can be made about the interventions designed
to address the related social problem. Thus, program evaluation involves the usc of social
research meLhodologies to appraise and improve the ways in which human services, poli-
ci~s, and programs are co nducted. Formal eva l.uation, by its very nature, is applied research.
Formal program evaluations attempt to answer the following general ques tion: Does
the p rogram work? Program evaluation may also address questions such as the following:
Do our clients get better? How does our success rate compare to those of other programs
or agencies? Can the same level of success be obtained through less expensive means?

Chapter III: Methodology
As observed in recent years, large organizations are facing multiple data breaches from hackers who are trying to steal sensitive information. With the increase in technology, attackers with malicious intent are finding advanced methods to breach into the organization or even simple by exploiting known risks that could have been avoided by the organization by updating their systems on a regular basis (Alawneh, 2008). The most recent breach that we all were aware off was the Equifax data breach where it was reported that millions of its customers personal identifiable information (PII) were stolen, information such as social security number , an individual’s name, financial record, driver’s license number, etcetera.. The purpose of this paper is to how organizations can protect themselves from data breaches. What are the ways in which their data can be exposed and does employee awareness will help organizations protect themselves from being attacked from various sources?
Design of the study:
The data collected in this paper was a mixed approach. The collected data was both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The researcher developed a questionnaire containing both open-ended and close-ended questions and all of this was administered through LimeSurvey. And most of the participants response was recorded when they were trying to explain their understanding of a breach and how data leaks can be classified into intentional threats and inadvertent threats as these recording were transliterated for further analysis using otter A.I. And each session from the participant lasted from 45 – 90 minutes depending on the tasks being performed.
Data collection and participants:
All the participants involved in the sessions have worked or currently working in financial organizations. Participants read and signed a consent form explaining the purpose of the research and were given the option to skip a question if they feel uncomfortable in answering a question. Participants were recruited through ads from social media and from known contacts whose education and work experience are related to the study that was being conducted. There were around 50 participants in total, 30 males and 20 females, they ranged in age from 24 - 57. When asked about data breaches and do they know who their organizations protect itself from data breaches as part of employee awareness, 40 said yes and 10 said no. And when asked about taking or participating in any data security training conducted by the organizations, 35 said yes and 15 said no. And when asked about recording their answers on a device 45 said yes and 5 said no, For the 5, we noted down their answers on a paper with their consent.
Data analysis and Sampling procedures:
The participants responses were addressed in two sections which are quantitative and qualitative. When analyzing the qualitative data from the questionnaire we conducted a thematic analysis in order to better analyze ...

· Delivery speed —the amount of time it takes to deliver the product once an order is confirmed
· Price level —the perceived level of price charged by PLE
· Price flexibility —the perceived willingness of PLE representatives to negotiate price on all types of purchases
· Manufacturing image —the overall image of the manufacturer
· Overall service —the overall level of service necessary for maintaining a satisfactory relationship between PLE and the purchaser
· Sales force image —the overall image of the PLE’s sales force
· Product quality —perceived level of quality
Responses to these seven variables were obtained using a graphic rating scale, where a 10-centimeter line was drawn between endpoints labeled “poor” and “excellent.” Respondents indicated their perceptions using a mark on the line, which was measured from the left endpoint. The result was a scale from 0 to 10 rounded to one decimal place.
Two measures were obtained that reflected the outcomes of the respondent’s purchase relationships with PLE:
· Usage level —how much of the firm’s total product is purchased from PLE, measured on a 100-point scale, ranging from 0% to 100%
· Satisfaction level —how satisfied the purchaser is with past purchases from PLE, measured on the same graphic rating scale as perceptions 1 through 7
The data also include four characteristics of the responding firms:
· Size of firm —size relative to others in this market (0=small;1=large)(0=small;1=large)
· Purchasing structure —the purchasing method used in a particular company (1=centralized procurement,0=dec ...

Write a
research
proposal
HOW TO...
Valerie Finigan
covers all aspects
of what a research
proposal needs to
include and where to
begin when writing it.
Writing a research proposal may be the most challenging part of the research
process – the document must
systematically recommend how
your study will be conducted
(Hollins-Martin and Flemming,
2010). It is the key to gaining ethical
approval, grant application success
and academic qualifi cation.
Yet the question is often asked:
‘What will a research proposal
contain and what should it look like?’
First of all, it is important that you
are passionate about the research
topic, have a vested interest in it, and
that it will add to the profession’s
body of scientifi c knowledge.
Discuss your idea with an
experienced researcher too, prior
to starting your proposal.
Th e proposals must be succinctly
written and clearly chronicle facts,
it must craft a convincing line of
reasoning and an argument for study
approval (Marshall, 2012).
Ask the questions:
1. What is the research about?
2. Why is it important?
3. What is the process that will be
taken to accomplish project goals
and objectives?
4. What will the project cost?
5. Who is the best person to conduct
this study? (Marshall, 2012).
Simple steps to follow:
1 Read the criteria for your proposal
If a format for writing is
given, use it. Check grammar, word
count and remember format and
brevity are important (12-point font,
legible and with a generous margin
will make the proposal easier to
read and comment on) to keep the
reviewer more engaged. Find a peer
or colleague to proofread the proposal
before submission, they may fi nd a
fl aw that you have overlooked. Submit
on time, or the work may be declined.
2 Underpin the study with a
research question
Th is enables you to choose the title
and design for your project and
identify the appropriate methodology
to answer the question of interest.
While the idea of the subject may be
in your mind, the question must be
focused and manageable to enable you
a purposeful and planned approach.
Th e title you choose for the
study should be used consistently
throughout all regulatory documents
(ethical approval consideration,
proposal and any grant applications).
Th e title needs to draw the attention
of the reviewer, so make it succinct
and exciting.
3 The abstractA brief description of your
research proposal, the
abstract should be a summary of the
entire project. It includes a statement
of the purpose of your research and
a brief description of its study design
and methodology.
4 Introduction sectionWithin the introduction
you should include some
background information about your
topic that is appropriate and to the

Employee Perceptions of Board Effectiveness in a State Owned Medical Aid Soci...IOSRJBM
The research study was aimed at assessing employee perceptions of board effective in state enterprises using in a public sector medical aid institution in Zimbabwe. The objectives of the study were to assess how employees at PSMAS perceive board effective in state owned medical aid society. A case study approach was used. Quantitative design was used with a sample of sample size of 80 employees of the medical aid society. Simple random sampling technique was used. The major findings of the study were that employees were satisfied with the process used to appoint board members, perceived board as members lacking skills and experience required to deal with board issues. Further, the results reflected that employees perceived the board as lacking diversity coupled with a lack of understanding of the knowledge of the sector in which the organisation operates. The study recommended that board members must devote considerable time to company board duties as well as crafting a framework of internal controls. However, the results obtained cannot be generalised to all state owned enterprises and should not be viewed as conclusive but should be regarded as a guide for further studies on the topic in other enterprises

evidence shows that linear models can lead to better organizational outcomes: graduate-school admissions decisions and hiring decisions.
Improving Admissions Decisions
The value of using linear models in hiring, admissions, and selection decisions is highlighted by work Moore and his colleagues undertook on the interpretation of grades (Moore, Swift, Sharek, & Gino, 2007). They found substantial differences in the grading practices of colleges, even between institutions of similar quality and selectivity. The results show that students from colleges with more lenient grading are more likely to get into graduate school, even after controlling for the quality of the institution and the quality of its students. Due to a variant of the representativeness heuristic called the correspondence bias (Gilbert & Malone, 1995), graduate schools misinterpret the high GPAs of alumni from lenient-grading institutions as indicating high performance. The correspondence bias describes the tendency to take others at face value, assuming that their behavior (or their GPAs) corresponds to their innate traits. This bias persists even when those making the admissions decisions have full information about different institutions' grading practices. It seems that people have trouble sufficiently discounting high grades that are due to lenient grading.
By contrast, it would be easy to set up a linear program to avoid this error. Indeed, Dawes (1971) did just that in his work on graduate-school admissions decisions. Dawes used a common method for developing his linear model: he first modeled the admissions decisions of a four-person committee. In other words, he systematically analyzed how the committee made its admissions decisions relying on three factors: (1) Graduate Record Examination scores, (2) undergraduate grade point average, and (3) the quality of the undergraduate school. Dawes then used the variable weightings he obtained from modeling the experts in a linear model to predict the average rating of 384 other applicants. He found that the model could be used to rule out 55 percent of the applicant pool without ever rejecting an applicant that the selection committee had in fact accepted. In addition, the linear model was better than the committee itself in predicting future ratings of the accepted and matriculated applicants by faculty! In 1971, Dawes estimated that the use of a linear model as a screening device by the nation's graduate schools (not to mention by the larger domains of undergraduate admissions, corporate recruiting, and so on) could result in an annual savings of about $18 million in professional time. Adjusted for today's dollars and the current number of graduate-school applications, that number would easily exceed $500 million.

1.0 Introduction
This study aims in providing adequate descriptive research methods with the combination of exploratory interventions to measure the antecedents and its impact on consumer ethical behaviours, relating to ethical product consumption which facilitates strategic and decision making implementations for ShopHere. This study too, studies the viability of the ‘ethical consumers’ segment.
ShopHere prides themselves in selling quality products, having a unique proposition of being ethical traded and produced. ShopHere has this consistent value throughout all their various product offerings in a multi-channel, and e-commerce distribution channel across Australia.
Ethical products are referred to as products that exhibit one or more social or environmental principles which can affect a consumer purchase decision, or attributes that are positively perceived (Bezencon and Bilili 2015). The purchase intention towards ethical products will be the focus of this research.
In this research, we also investigate consumer ethics. Which is defined as the moral principles and standards that direct behaviours of individuals of the obtains, usage and disposal of goods and services (Vitell 2015). The overall aims are to identify ethical consumers and their motivations and attitudes toward ethical products. Attitudes and motivations, coupling up with demographic variables converge into the notion of involvement (Bezencon and Bilili 2015).
The three main themes identified in this study on consumer’s Purchase Intentions towards ethical products are based on the emerging themes from the systematic literature review, referring to Cost, Social-Cultural, and Ease of Purchasing factors.
1.1 Research Objectives
Research for this study looks into the assessment of workability, and to justify the investor’s decisions in ShopHere’s business strategy by determining what are the driving factors towards the purchase intention of ethical products.
1.2 Research Question
Ethical Consumers - What are motivating factor(s) driving the purchase of ethical products?

Research Framework
With the following variables, the following hypothesis was derived:
H1: Cost is a driving factor towards the purchase intention of ethical products.
H2: Social-Cultural Factors are driving factors towards the purchase intention of ethical products.

Program Evaluation
Studies
TK Logan and David Royse
A
variety of programs have been developed to address social problems such
as drug addiction, homelessness, child abuse, domestic violence, illiteracy,
and poverty. The goals of these programs may include directly addressing
the problem origin or moderating the effects of these problems on indi-
viduals, families, and communities. Sometimes programs are developed
to prevent something from happening such as drug use, sexual assault, or crime.
These kinds of problems and programs to help people are often what allracts many
social workers to the profession; we want to be part of the mechanism through which
society provides assistance to those most in need. Despite low wages, bureaucratic red
tape, and routinely uncooperative clients, we tirelessly provide services tha t are invaluable
but also at various Limes may be or become insufficient or inappropriate. But without
conducting eva luation, we do not know whether our programs are helping or hurting,
that is, whether they only postpone the hunt for real solutions or truly construct new
futures for our clients. This chapter provides an overview of program evaluation in gen -
eral and outlines the primary considerations in designing program evaluations.
Evaluation can be done informally or formally. We are constantly, as consumers, infor-
mally evaluating products, services, and in formation. For example, we may choose not to
return to a store or an agency again if we did not evaluate the experience as pleasant.
Similarl y, we may mentally take note of unsolicited comments or anecdotes from clients and
draw conclusions about a program. Anecdotal and informal approaches such as these gen-
erally are not regarded as carrying scientific credibility. One reason is that decision biases
play a role in our "informal" evaluation. Specifically, vivid memories or strongly negative or
positive anecdotes will be overrepresented in our summaries of how things are evaluated.
This is why objective data are necessary to truly understand what is or is not working.
By contrast, formal evaluations systematically examine data from and about programs
and their outcomes so that better decisions can be made about the interventions designed
to address the related social problem. Thus, program evaluation involves the usc of social
research meLhodologies to appraise and improve the ways in which human services, poli-
ci~s, and programs are co nducted. Formal eva l.uation, by its very nature, is applied research.
Formal program evaluations attempt to answer the following general ques tion: Does
the p rogram work? Program evaluation may also address questions such as the following:
Do our clients get better? How does our success rate compare to those of other programs
or agencies? Can the same level of success be obtained through less expensive means?

Chapter III: Methodology
As observed in recent years, large organizations are facing multiple data breaches from hackers who are trying to steal sensitive information. With the increase in technology, attackers with malicious intent are finding advanced methods to breach into the organization or even simple by exploiting known risks that could have been avoided by the organization by updating their systems on a regular basis (Alawneh, 2008). The most recent breach that we all were aware off was the Equifax data breach where it was reported that millions of its customers personal identifiable information (PII) were stolen, information such as social security number , an individual’s name, financial record, driver’s license number, etcetera.. The purpose of this paper is to how organizations can protect themselves from data breaches. What are the ways in which their data can be exposed and does employee awareness will help organizations protect themselves from being attacked from various sources?
Design of the study:
The data collected in this paper was a mixed approach. The collected data was both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The researcher developed a questionnaire containing both open-ended and close-ended questions and all of this was administered through LimeSurvey. And most of the participants response was recorded when they were trying to explain their understanding of a breach and how data leaks can be classified into intentional threats and inadvertent threats as these recording were transliterated for further analysis using otter A.I. And each session from the participant lasted from 45 – 90 minutes depending on the tasks being performed.
Data collection and participants:
All the participants involved in the sessions have worked or currently working in financial organizations. Participants read and signed a consent form explaining the purpose of the research and were given the option to skip a question if they feel uncomfortable in answering a question. Participants were recruited through ads from social media and from known contacts whose education and work experience are related to the study that was being conducted. There were around 50 participants in total, 30 males and 20 females, they ranged in age from 24 - 57. When asked about data breaches and do they know who their organizations protect itself from data breaches as part of employee awareness, 40 said yes and 10 said no. And when asked about taking or participating in any data security training conducted by the organizations, 35 said yes and 15 said no. And when asked about recording their answers on a device 45 said yes and 5 said no, For the 5, we noted down their answers on a paper with their consent.
Data analysis and Sampling procedures:
The participants responses were addressed in two sections which are quantitative and qualitative. When analyzing the qualitative data from the questionnaire we conducted a thematic analysis in order to better analyze ...

· Delivery speed —the amount of time it takes to deliver the product once an order is confirmed
· Price level —the perceived level of price charged by PLE
· Price flexibility —the perceived willingness of PLE representatives to negotiate price on all types of purchases
· Manufacturing image —the overall image of the manufacturer
· Overall service —the overall level of service necessary for maintaining a satisfactory relationship between PLE and the purchaser
· Sales force image —the overall image of the PLE’s sales force
· Product quality —perceived level of quality
Responses to these seven variables were obtained using a graphic rating scale, where a 10-centimeter line was drawn between endpoints labeled “poor” and “excellent.” Respondents indicated their perceptions using a mark on the line, which was measured from the left endpoint. The result was a scale from 0 to 10 rounded to one decimal place.
Two measures were obtained that reflected the outcomes of the respondent’s purchase relationships with PLE:
· Usage level —how much of the firm’s total product is purchased from PLE, measured on a 100-point scale, ranging from 0% to 100%
· Satisfaction level —how satisfied the purchaser is with past purchases from PLE, measured on the same graphic rating scale as perceptions 1 through 7
The data also include four characteristics of the responding firms:
· Size of firm —size relative to others in this market (0=small;1=large)(0=small;1=large)
· Purchasing structure —the purchasing method used in a particular company (1=centralized procurement,0=dec ...

Write a
research
proposal
HOW TO...
Valerie Finigan
covers all aspects
of what a research
proposal needs to
include and where to
begin when writing it.
Writing a research proposal may be the most challenging part of the research
process – the document must
systematically recommend how
your study will be conducted
(Hollins-Martin and Flemming,
2010). It is the key to gaining ethical
approval, grant application success
and academic qualifi cation.
Yet the question is often asked:
‘What will a research proposal
contain and what should it look like?’
First of all, it is important that you
are passionate about the research
topic, have a vested interest in it, and
that it will add to the profession’s
body of scientifi c knowledge.
Discuss your idea with an
experienced researcher too, prior
to starting your proposal.
Th e proposals must be succinctly
written and clearly chronicle facts,
it must craft a convincing line of
reasoning and an argument for study
approval (Marshall, 2012).
Ask the questions:
1. What is the research about?
2. Why is it important?
3. What is the process that will be
taken to accomplish project goals
and objectives?
4. What will the project cost?
5. Who is the best person to conduct
this study? (Marshall, 2012).
Simple steps to follow:
1 Read the criteria for your proposal
If a format for writing is
given, use it. Check grammar, word
count and remember format and
brevity are important (12-point font,
legible and with a generous margin
will make the proposal easier to
read and comment on) to keep the
reviewer more engaged. Find a peer
or colleague to proofread the proposal
before submission, they may fi nd a
fl aw that you have overlooked. Submit
on time, or the work may be declined.
2 Underpin the study with a
research question
Th is enables you to choose the title
and design for your project and
identify the appropriate methodology
to answer the question of interest.
While the idea of the subject may be
in your mind, the question must be
focused and manageable to enable you
a purposeful and planned approach.
Th e title you choose for the
study should be used consistently
throughout all regulatory documents
(ethical approval consideration,
proposal and any grant applications).
Th e title needs to draw the attention
of the reviewer, so make it succinct
and exciting.
3 The abstractA brief description of your
research proposal, the
abstract should be a summary of the
entire project. It includes a statement
of the purpose of your research and
a brief description of its study design
and methodology.
4 Introduction sectionWithin the introduction
you should include some
background information about your
topic that is appropriate and to the
point. Here you convey the main

· Previous professional experiences that have had a profound effect:
Before I started college, my parents wanted me to excel in healthcare knowing its high demand. The path to health care and eventual employment in a notable hospital setting seemed less risky than the one of Art and design. A few networking events and some LinkedIn leads later I came across an opportunity to start a Biomedical Engineering startup in South Florida with two investors willing to mentor me in a field I wasn’t familiar with. Luckily this new venture I was undertaking had a somewhat speculative risk. I made sure they were mostly in my favor thanks to the connections my investors had in the industry, and my background in health care. My hard work and diligence paid off slowly teaching myself the mechanics of the industry through the engineers we would hire. I remember watching how they would calibrate medical devices from pumps to life-saving equipment in awe. And with the same tenacity absorbing all the medical jargon in the Biomed world. I was adamant about doing my best and being the best even if that meant leaving my creative dreams behind. We started the business almost four years ago as a small minority women-owned business in the corner of a business complex. Five biomedical engineers and six technicians later we are still scaling and have since expanded our office from that small corner to the entire business building. Currently, we are a nationally recognized Biomed and medical supply company for some of the largest healthcare facilities in both the civilian and government sector. Yet through out all the achievement I felt the only sense of raw passion was when I collaborated with my engineers in delivering problem solving services to the hospital we served. Their job was to service devices in a hospital at a micro level and I would bridge that gap by identifying problems and finding opportunities in product service at a large-scale. Working hand in hand with the engineers in articulating the hospital need for turnover I would use design through projective process in creating a plan that would work in the most practical sense.
This moment of free creative problem solving was the highlight of my job. It gave me an opportunity to realize that although at times my approach was unconventional it would work. My systematic methodology I had adapted from working with engineers and my innate out of the box idea would come to together to solve some of the most challenging issues. Little did I know that this minor stroke of self-awareness would one day have me consider architecture.
Your current strengths and weaknesses in reaching your goal.
I realized my creative talents in design could not flourish under the pressures of work. I would constantly leave the office feeling drained in a profession my heart was not set on. In this I learned my weakness was how far I was willing to neglect the urge for creativity, and in exchange it jeopardized my sense of purpos.

· Please select ONE of the following questions and write a 200-word discussion.
1. The Federal Reserve Board has enormous power over people's lives with its power to set and influence policy that determines monetary policy in the United States. Do you think this is proper for a democracy to provide the FED with so such power? How is the FED held accountable?
2. Do you believe that the roles of government should change from era to era, or should the US determine the proper role of government and try to maintain it through the ages?
3. Explain Executive Power in the US Constitution and briefly the process by which it developed over the years. Do you think the Framers should have been more specific about the powers of the presidency? Should the country try to make it more specific today?
· Please read the discussions below and write a 100 to 150 words respond for each discussion.
1. (question 1) I do believe that this is proper for a democracy to provided such power to FED. Without the FED the economy would face two problem, which are recessions that can lead into depressions, and inflation. The FED needs to have power to endures the country will not fall into economic trouble. In class professor McWeeney stated that the FED has the power to increase interest rates to control inflation, and the power to decrease interest rates so that theres more money in the economy to create more business and jobs so there wont be a recession. The FED needs these power to try to put the economy in a sweet spot. The FED is held accountable to the government and public. The FED does this by being transparent and giving and annual report to congress.
2. (question 2) I believe that the roles of the government should be changed from era to era. My main reason the roles should be changed is because major changes are constantly happening in the field of law. For example, the progressive era and modern era had several economic reforms that had taken place including increased regulation, anti-trust activity, application of an income tax, raise on social insurance programs, etc. Throughout this time, the government gave women the right to vote. I believe the economy is growing rapidly due to employment relationships, better technology, education, new polices, social and economic changes. This is the reason why the roles of the government should be changed from era to era.

· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching.docxalinainglis
· If we accept the fact that we may need to focus more on teaching civic responsibility, how can this work with both "policies and people" in the school where you become principal?
In order to increase the focus on teaching civic responsibility, policy must be in place supporting this goal. A school leader must be willing to invest time and funds into planning, training, and implementing curriculum that emphasizes civics. Staff members may have different levels of interest, understanding, and comfort when it comes to incorporating civic responsibility into their teaching, so providing professional development in this area would be critical. The strategic plan for integrating civic responsibility and the expectations for each teacher’s involvement should be clearly communicated. In addition to establishing these policies regarding civics education, the school leader and teachers must work to model civic responsibility. In addition to sharing his or her vision for increased focus on civics with the school staff, the school leader should work to share his or her vision with school board members, other district personnel including the superintendent, and the greater community. Lastly, school leaders need to support their staff as they take risks and work to develop and implement new activities, discussions, and projects centered around teaching civic responsibility.
· How will you lead your staff in this part of the curriculum?
In leading my staff in this part of the curriculum, I would work to secure professional development related to civic responsibility, as this is not an area that I have expertise in, and work as a staff to develop our vision and implementation goals. I would also provide examples such as the work of the exemplar schools described in the article in integrating civic responsibility across all content areas, implementing service-learning programs, and creating partnerships between the school and community. I would also work within PLTs to develop ways that civic responsibility could be incorporated within their curriculum and remind them that they have my support as they embark on this endea

A good project manager makes risk management an integral part of every phase of project work. Risks are identified, prioritized, and understood. There are clear responsibilities within the team as to whose is responsible for implementing a risk response to reduce the impact should it occur. So let's get started.
What is Risk?
*Risk: An uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives.
Risks can be positive, meaning beneficial to the project, or they can be negative, meaning detrimental to the project.
Many students have a difficult time visualizing positive risks. A positive risk is an opportunity that may increase the probability of success, the return on investment, or the benefits of the project. They may also be ways to reduce project costs or ways to complete the project early. There may even be methods to improve project quality or overall performance. These are all examples of positive risks.
A negative risk can be easier to understand. It is the possibility that something will go wrong, a threat to the success of the project. It is important to remember that a risk is a possibility, not a fact. It is a potential problem. At GettaByte Software, there is the potential that a power outage would occur during data transfer. The potential exists that a key resource could become unavailable due to some unforeseen circumstance, like illness. Those are threats to the success of the project.
When buying a house to renovate, there are potential risks with respect to plumbing, wiring, the foundation, and so on.
A project manager needs to consider trying to make positive risks happen while trying to prevent negative ones from occurring. To do this, a project manager can take a proactive approach to risk management. This means he or she plans a risk response should it look as though the risk will become a reality. In this way, everyone knows exactly how to prepare and respond to the risk once it does become an issue.
The Risk Management Process
A project has both good and bad risks, which are referred to as positive and negative risks or opportunities and threats. For positive risks or opportunities, the project manager can choose from a range of risk responses. For threats, a project manager has a similar range of choices. The following, as described in the PMBOK® Guide, are the risk management processes.

Helen Petrakis Identifying Data: Helen Petrakis is a 52-year-old, Caucasian female of Greek descent living in a four-bedroom house in Tarpon Springs, FL. Her family consists of her husband, John (60), son, Alec (27), daughter, Dmitra (23), and daughter Althima (18). John and Helen have been married for 30 years. They married in the Greek Orthodox Church and attend services weekly.
Presenting Problem: Helen reports feeling overwhelmed and “blue.” She was referred by a close friend who thought Helen would benefit from having a person who would listen. Although she is uncomfortable talking about her life with a stranger, Helen says that she decided to come for therapy because she worries about burdening friends with her troubles. John has been expressing his displeasure with meals at home, as Helen has been cooking less often and brings home takeout. Helen thinks she is inadequate as a wife. She states that she feels defeated; she describes an incident in which her son, Alec, expressed disappointment in her because she could not provide him with clean laundry. Helen reports feeling overwhelmed by her responsibilities and believes she can’t handle being a wife, mother, and caretaker any longer.
Family Dynamics: Helen describes her marriage as typical of a traditional Greek family. John, the breadwinner in the family, is successful in the souvenir shop in town. Helen voices a great deal of pride in her children. Dmitra is described as smart, beautiful, and hardworking. Althima is described as adorable and reliable. Helen shops, cooks, and cleans for the family, and John sees to yard care and maintaining the family’s cars. Helen believes the children are too busy to be expected to help around the house, knowing that is her role as wife and mother. John and Helen choose not to take money from their children for any room or board. The Petrakis family holds strong family bonds within a large and supportive Greek community.
Helen is the primary caretaker for Magda (John’s 81-year-old widowed mother), who lives in an apartment 30 minutes away. Until recently, Magda was self-sufficient, coming for weekly family dinners and driving herself shopping and to church. Six months ago, she fell and broke her hip and was also recently diagnosed with early signs of dementia. Helen and John hired a reliable and trusted woman temporarily to check in on Magda a couple of days each week. Helen would go and see Magda on the other days, sometimes twice in one day, depending on Magda’s needs. Helen would go food shopping for Magda, clean her home, pay her bills, and keep track of Magda’s medications. Since Helen thought she was unable to continue caretaking for both Magda and her husband and kids, she wanted the helper to come in more often, but John said they could not afford it. The money they now pay to the helper is coming out of the couple’s vacation savings. Caring for Magda makes Helen think she is failing as a wife and mother because she no longer ha.

Overview
: In Unit 1 and Unit 2, we focused on ways that writers build ideas from personal memories and experiences into interesting narratives that convey significance and meaning to new audiences. In Unit 3, we have been discussing how writers invent ideas by interacting with other communities through firsthand observation and description. These relationships and discoveries can give writers insight into larger concepts or ideas that are valuable to specific communities. For this writing project, you will use firsthand observations and discoveries to write about people and the issues that are important to them. Your evidence will come from the details you observe as you investigate other people, places, and events.
Assignment
Write an ethnography essay focused on a particular group of people and the routines or practices that best reveal their unique significance as a group.
An ethnography is a written description of a particular cultural group or community. For the ethnography essay, you can follow the guidelines in the CEL, p. 110-112. Your ethnography should:
· Begin with your observations of a particular group. Plan to observe this group 2-3 times, so that you can get a better sense of their routines, habits, and practices.
o
Note: if you cannot travel to observe a group or community, plan to observe that community digitally through website documents, social media, and/or emails exchanged with group members.
· Convey insight into the characteristics that give the group unique significance.
· Provide context and background, including location, values, beliefs, histories, rituals, dialogue, and any other details that help convey the group's significance.
· Follow a deliberate organizational pattern that focuses on one or more insights about the group while also providing details and information about the group's culture and routine
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Ethnographies also draw out the unique, interesting, and special qualities of a group or culture that help readers connect to their values or motivations. Note: Please keep in mind that writing in this class is public, and anything you write about may be shared with other students and instructors. Please only write about details that you are comfortable making public within our classroom community.

Learning Preferences of Millennials in a Knowledge-Based
Environment

Abstract: This paper discusses how understanding intergenerational knowledge transfer can improve knowledge transfer in
large organizations. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) risks significant loss of institutional human capital as huge
numbers of senior controllers retire. To perform their job, air traffic controllers must develop in-depth knowledge, including
tacit knowledge typically acquired over many years, so they can quickly make accurate decisions while dealing with the many
air traffic control (ATC) situations that arise. The only pool available to replace the retiring controllers is the Millennials. This
group, the best educated ever, has its own attitudes toward life, work, and training as well as technology use. Because
knowledge transfer and training involve both technology and human interaction, this paper explores not only the role of
technology but also that of intergenerational communications in both the training and operational environments of a highly
technical workplace.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

that are being used by the companies in order to encounter their
pre-emptive and planned requirements. It is comprised of the
ingenuities, procedures, tactics and schemes that endure and
boost the modification, sharing, assessment, and storage and
information formulation. Therefore, the practices of knowledge
management play an important role in attaining company goals
and objectives in effective manner. It helps generating value for
the company (Alegre, Sengupta and Lapiedra, 2013).SURVEY

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Every study is majorly based on two main types which are;
qualitative study and the other one is quantitative study. The
quantitative study is created on the basis of numeric based
technique to collect and analyze gathered data. On the other
hand, the qualitative study is merely related to the no numeric
technique to collect and assess data (Taylor, Bogdan and
DeVault, 2015). The research under discussion is created on
the basis of quantitative data because the researcher of this
study has collected and analyzed data in a numeric way for
justifying the results of hypothesis. The most common research
strategies for numerical analysis are survey method, interview
and collection of case study to analyze specific scenario or
situation. This study is merely created on the basis of survey
strategy because the researcher has created a sample of
respondents in order to collect their views and onions with
respect to the subject of an issue. Sampling Technique
The sampling techniques have played an important role to
gather information from a smaller group of relevant people
related to the subject of an issue. An investigator of this
research has created a sample for this study by implementing
4. simple random sampling technique because, it is the suitable
one to create and collect data within allotted time.Instrument to
Collect Data
The tool or procedure to collect the primary and secondary data
is known as instruments utilized by researchers for gathering
information for their studies. There are various types of
instruments and techniques to collect primary and secondary
data. The researcher of this study has collected secondary data
through Google Scholar, Springer and books. Other than that,
the Likert scale questionnaire has been utilized to collect
primary data for this study (Gast, & Ledford, 2014). Pilot
Testing
The pilot testing has played an important role in this study
because it has helped the researcher in creating a valid
questionnaire to be floated among respondents and to obtain
authentic research outcomes. First of all, the researcher of this
study has created the questionnaire and distributed among 25
respondents in order to check out the ambiguity or uncertain
information available in the questionnaire. After distributing the
questionnaire, the researcher has tested the responses through
reliability test in order to check out the validity and consistency
of designed questionnaire. At first, the researcher did not
receive the results that match to the acceptable percentage of
reliability. Therefore, it was reformulated and then distributed
to analyze the created research instrument to collect primary
data.
DATA ANALYSISDemographic Analysis
The findings regarding the gender within demographics analysis
discovered that 175 out 250 respondents were males on the
other hand 75 respondents out of rest were females. According
to this exploration it is obvious that most of the employees at
proposed organization were males.
The last part of this subsection for analysis of demographics
part was regarding the working experience .The analysis for
working experience had revealed that most of the respondents
had experience of 2 or more years. Descriptive Analysis of Data
5. This section comprises of the descriptive analysis for the data
collected throughout the tenure of the existing study. This
section includes the description of data ahead of analysing
responses from the respondents regarding each question
presented within the questionnaire while conducting the survey
for the proposed research. The initial part of the description for
the data set is related to the subsection for questionnaire which
includes knowledge management for the business practices
carried out throughout the proposed organization. The details
regarding analysis and description of data set are discussed
below.
First question which was required to get answers from
respondents was concerned either the organization possess
effective knowledge management department. 117 respondents
out of 250 respondents strongly agreed to the statement asked
regarding the department of knowledge management, 50
respondents agreed to the statement 30 remained neutral as well
as the disagreement was highlighted from 53 respondents out of
250 respondents. According to Hislop (2013) knowledge
management and its related departments are essential
components for any organization.
On the other question, more than 50% of the respondents
strongly agreed or agreed to the statement as they believe that
knowledge management services help them increase their
overall performance and efficiency. Out of the remaining, 30%
remained neutral and rest disagreed or strongly disagreed to the
statement suggesting a higher ratio of neutral respondents
pertaining to this specific question. Therefore, it has been
highlighted in the literature of () that knowledge management
has been instrumental in enabling Qatar Airways to enhance its
capabilities and efficiencies in delivering effective services to
its customers.
The next statement in the analysis asked if the structure of their
organization facilitates the incorporation of knowledge
management which generated following responses:
Though most of the respondents strongly agreed or agreed to the
6. statement believing that their organizational structure facilitates
incorporation of knowledge management but a large portion of
the sample strongly disagreed or disagreed as well. Only 20
respondents remained neutral to the statement. It suggests that
the respondents maybe confused while responding to this
particular question due to the fact that everyone perceives it
differently due to technicality of organizational structure. The
next statement inquired whether the respondents believe that
technology, infrastructure and knowledge management is
important part of strategic planning within their particular bank;
the statement generated following responses:
About 170 respondents out of a total of 250 agreed or strongly
agreed to the statement so it implies their belief that
technology, infrastructure and knowledge management is
important part of strategic planning within their particular bank.
However, it must be noted that few respondents disagreed or
strongly disagreed to the statement as well suggesting that
belief of employees vary as per their own thinking and
perception. Another question pertaining to strategic planning
and effective knowledge management inquired whether the
strategic planning assists in increasing profitability and
increasing customers through effective knowledge management.
For this particular statement, the ratio of respondents which
agreed or strongly agreed to the statement is almost equal to
ratio of respondents which disagreed or strongly disagreed to
the statement. It suggests that the responses to this statement
were almost 50/50. This again illustrates a contradiction in the
thinking of respondents selected for this research. Next question
focuses on whether effective strategic planning through
knowledge management results in improving business
performance and plans to set a benchmark. The statement
triggered following responses:
Another question that was presented from the questionnaire was
regarding the employees whether they have access and right to
access knowledge from the knowledge management services of
the proposed organization. Out of 250 respondents 62
7. respondents strongly agreed to the asked statement from the
proposed questionnaire. 101 respondents agreed over the
statement, 35 responded neutrally rest of the 52 respondents
showed their disagreement towards this statement. This
statement of the proposed questionnaire could be supported
through research from the view of Wiig, (2012) who discussed
by stating that employees should have right to access the
knowledge from the knowledge management departments and
services of the organization to increase the credibility of the
firm.
More than 50% of the respondents agreed or strongly agreed
showing their agreement and belief that effective strategic
planning through knowledge management results in improving
business performance and plans to set a benchmark.
Approximately 40 respondents remained neutral and
approximately 50 remained stated that they do not disagree and
strongly disagree to the question.
Questions that were included in the questionnaire were
regarding the employee participation in the knowledge
management practices of the firm. The statement was regarding
whether employees participate actively in the knowledge
management practice of the proposed organization from which
56 respondents strongly agreed the statement, 73 agreed to the
statement, 23 responded neutrally and rest 98 remained
disagree. To support the statement Andreeva, and Kianto (2012)
discussed by stating that employees participation in knowledge
management practices of the firm is vital element for the firm to
increase its credibility and profitability.
Fourth question of the questionnaire was related to the concern
for knowledge management of business activities should be an
open apprehension reflected in the strategy planning and
procedures at all levels of the organization. For this statement,
96 respondents strongly agreed, 60 respondents agreed, 36
respondents remained neutral and rest of 58 remained disagreed.
This statement can be justified by the view of Holsapple, (2013)
who discussed by stating the notion that firm should consider
8. knowledge management as the important concern which should
be included within the policies, procedures as well as in the
strategic planning for all the levels of an organization
Fifth question of the questionnaire was regarding the
organizational climate as well as knowledge management of the
firm which considered as the essential components of strategic
planning for the organization. 45 respondents strongly agreed
towards the statement, 102 respondents agreed, 56 respondents
remained neutral and 47 respondents showed their disagreement.
According to the researches it was further explained that
organizational climate along with the knowledge management
procedures of an organization plays an important role for
validating the strategic planning.
Sixth question of the questionnaire was organizational structure
is the main element to effect the strategic planning of the
organization. 51 respondents strongly agreed towards the
statement, 67 agreed, 81 remained neutral, and rest of the 51
respondents showed their disagreement. Various authors stated
in their researches that organizational structure is considered as
the vital component which directly impacts the strategic
planning of an organization.
Seventh question of the study was that understanding the
strategic context of business problem is necessary to link the
knowledge management practices. 60 respondents strongly
agreed, 52 just agreed, 22 remained neutral and the rest 116
were disagreed towards the statement. According to various
researches conducted in the past it was explained that the to
understand the strategic framework and infrastructure of a
business problem it is mandatory to link the factors accordingly
with the knowledge management practices.
Eighth question of the questionnaire was strategic planning
assist in increasing the profitability and to increase the
customers through efficient knowledge management. 82
respondents out of 250 were strongly agreed for this statement,
33 were agreed only, 25 were neutral, and rest 110 was
disagreeing. According to research it was clear from the notion
9. of profitability as well as efficiency that strategic planning is
directly proportional to the profitability of the firm which is
necessary to increase the goodwill and customer’s loyalty
towards the organization. Knowledge management also plays an
important role in retaining customers.
Last question of the questionnaire was effective strategic
planning through knowledge management results in improving
business performance and plans and to set a benchmark. 106
respondents were strongly agreed, 44 were only agreed, 42 were
neutral, and 58 remained disagree. This statement is justified by
various researches that organizations which emerge as the
benchmark within the corporate market tends to follow effectual
strategic planning and portfolio which is often lead by the
efficient knowledge management. This eventually results in the
betterment of the business performances. CONCLUSION
With the assistance of the analysis that has been undertaken
above, it can be concluded that effective practices of knowledge
management have a significant impact on the level and
efficiency of strategic planning within Qatar Airways.
Furthermore, it has been illustrated that effective infrastructure
needs to be in place to ensure that relevant and authentic
knowledge is utilized effectively.

15. Answer
Here,the age of 40 does not matter as we need to find the
reserve needed when the insured attains the age of 50.Assuming
that the insured attained the age of 50,the insurance can be
represented as a combination of two contracts with level
payments,whole life insurance with a benefit of $1000,and the
10-year term with the same benefit.
The total APV of the combination is:
1000 +1000 =333.33+197.81 =531.14
After time t=10, the insured pays only 10 years more. The APV
of the premium annuity starting at t=10 is the premium
multiplied by = .Now, =
Therefore,
Thus, for P=66, the APV for the premium quality is 66- 6.5936
=435.182
Thus,
Q6)
Answer
Consider the "standard" fully discrete whole life insurance
issued to (65). When writing the retrospective formula for this
insurance at end of tenth year, it is exactly the same as the
formula written for the insurance in the problem. Since the two
have the same 10V, we can use the prospective formula of the
standard insurance to get the answer.
=10V = A35 - P25 * (annuity-due for age 35) = 0.183
Hence 0.183 is correct answer.
16. Q7
Answer
Net Premium reserve at the end of 20 year = SV =P*
Also,
P = 15/5 =3
SV = 11.6667/3 =3.889
