¶ … designing a study. Ensuring that the study meets the viability and reliability standards that can contribute to current literature is usually one of the main objectives of the researcher and to accomplish that objective some of the considerations that should be undertaken include questions such as; how is the study to be funded, how to identify the stakeholders, what standards are going to be met during recruitment of participants, and how to maintain confidentiality of the participants in the study.
Recruiting participants
Busey and Waring (2012) found that there are a variety of benefits derived from the positive effects experienced by study participants that translate into characteristics exhibited by good citizens. Konter (2009) found that participants exhibited an overall higher level of social behavior. When recruiting participants to a medical study these characteristics should be looked for and emphasized. It is not just the individual patients that are being recruited for participation, it is also the general practitioners, surgeons, nurses or medical personnel that must also be recruited. Parkinson, Jorm, Douglas, Gee, Sargent, Lujic, McRae (2015) discovered that recruitment of medical personnel into research has been "disappointing with response rates declining over recent years" (p. 254)....
Their study did offer some hope by determining that the GP's were more likely to respond in a positive manner if the researcher used a known and trusted network of professionals to endorse the study, and that was especially true if such action was combined with "an explicit compensation payment" (p. 254).
An explicit compensation payment, of course, leads to the next question in preparing for the study; how will it be funded.
Funding studies
Conducting a medical research study is not often an easy or inexpensive endeavor. Often times lack of funding can be one of the strongest hindrances against completing a study, especially in the medical community. Oftentimes, this hindrance can be addressed by receiving grants supplied by different organizations. Barnett, Herbert, Campbell, Daly, Roberts, Mudge & Graves (2015) state that organizations in the United States that provide funding opportunities include the National Information Center on Health Services Research and Health Care Technology (p. 1) and that tailoring applications for research grants to what the organization(s) were asking for was a key to winning the grants. The same study determined that focusing on a good research idea rather than the track record of the researcher was also a component found in the awarding of grants.…

The leader must ensure that both parties clearly determine exactly what outcomes constitute acceptable performance and those results which do not. The leader must understand that for many followers, the expenditure of effort on the part of the follower leads to satisfaction on the job (Isaac et al.). While the debate over nature vs. nurture continues as it applies to leadership, it is clear that although not everyone can be a charismatic
Successful FDI MNE: A Business Plan for Successful FDI The MNE For this paper, the MNE will be a company that originates in the United States, but that is considering FDI in Thailand. The company manufactures a snack product that is popular in the U.S. market, but has not been tested in other (particularly Asian) markets at all. This does not mean the product will not do well there, but there is not

Conclusion The research was clear in showing that as the role of community colleges has expanded across the country in recent years, so too has the enrollment of minority students in general and Hispanic students in particular. Despite the paucity of timely research concerning initiatives designed to improve the chances of success for these students, there were some useful studies that were identified that provided a guide for
Successful FDI Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the net inflows of investment to acquire management interest in an enterprise functioning in an economy other than that of the investor. Besides providing inflow of foreign capital and funds, foreign direct investment also enhance in the transfer of skills, technological innovations and job opportunities in an economy. Statistical data have suggested that foreign direct investment in the developing countries have also boost the
