Review: Ogut, H. (2006). "Information technology security risk management." Ph.D. Dissertation: University of Texas at Dallas
The research that was conducted and presented here was almost entirely of a qualitative rather than a quantitative nature. The author attempts to quantify a great deal of information that is ultimately more complex, varied, and based on human decision-making factors than he truly accounts for, and this creates certain questions in many different areas and levels of his research and presentation. The fact that this dissertation is comprised of several wholly independent research projects and essays while still put forth by the author as a unified project with consistent findings and a coherent theme is another major weakness of the presentation. In many simple and direct regards, there is little doubt that the author's efforts yielded some solid findings through careful observations; the specific...
The author presents in a quantified manner data that is at least partially if not wholly qualitative, and at no point does the author acknowledge the sheer human uncertainties that are a part of the observation and thus the conclusions in this dissertation.

The research that was conducted and presented here was almost entirely of a qualitative rather than a quantitative nature. The author attempts to quantify a great deal of information that is ultimately more complex, varied, and based on human decision-making factors than he truly accounts for, and this creates certain questions in many different areas and levels of his research and presentation. The fact that this dissertation is comprised of several wholly independent research projects and essays while still put forth by the author as a unified project with consistent findings and a coherent theme is another major weakness of the presentation. In many simple and direct regards, there is little doubt that the author's efforts yielded some solid findings through careful observations; the specific research questions asked are matched by the tools used to collect data (or at least so it seems to a reader not wholly familiar with the concepts described yet not entirely defined by the author or his field), but the larger conclusions that the author reaches seem at times vague and in all circumstances based on an element of qualitative data that is not explicitly recognized in the dissertation.
All in all, there is a relatively clear progression of information here, but the ultimate results or significance of the information is somewhat clouded by the uncertainties in the research methods and the lack of clarity regarding the definitions of certain concepts and phenomena. The author presents in a quantified manner data that is at least partially if not wholly qualitative, and at no point does the author acknowledge the sheer human uncertainties that are a part of the observation and thus the conclusions in this dissertation.
The trainer will then focus on the steps to be taken to develop new skills. For example, if the trainer wants to talk about motivating, leading, negotiating, selling or speaking, it is best to start with what the learners do well before showing some chart on Maslow's theory, Posner's leadership practices, or selling skills from some standard package that has been develop elsewhere. Many foreign trainers make grave errors
Hilfiger to sell on an international basis rather than focusing purely on the domestic market? Today's international market is characterized by the customer loyalty and the competitiveness. Consumers need to buy such products or brands that deliver so uniqueness and difference based on quality, price and especially targeting the niche. Consumers of niche market are not concerned with the price, but they are much more concern with the quality of
Substance Abuse Introduction to the Characteristics and Extent of Alcohol, Tobacco or Other Drug Use. Addiction means physical dependence on a drug, with withdrawal symptoms when its use ceases, and in this sense, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, hashish, opiates and amphetamines are all addictive drugs. In addition, these drugs also cause psychological dependency since they enhance a person's sense of pleasure, sociability, sexuality and emotional satisfaction, and also mask pain, low
The study involved giving adolescents a questionnaire to determine if they perceived their weight and appearance with accuracy; most females overestimated their weight and most males underestimated their weights. However, this was just 35% of the participants. The bulk of the participants (65%) were able to assess their body weight accurately. On the other hand, the results of the study indicate the need for interventions to help develop health
Globalization on Firms Expansion in Foreign Markets The objective of this paper is to advance knowledge on globalization using empirical evidence to present the impact on the expansion of firms on foreign markets. By drawing support from different kinds of literature, the paper argues that the globalization acts as two-edged swords: Globalization is both beneficial and detrimental to firms with reference to the acquisition of foreign markets. Thus, firms are
Barry Eichengreen (2011) has speculated that the U.S. dollar may be on the decline as the world's vehicle currency. The dollar has performed this role since at least Bretton Woods, when the financial and political might of the United States allowed it to take the lead in the global financial system from Great Britain. However, that lead is being challenged today by two other currencies. One is the euro,
