IT Management
Compares Between Six Research Questionnaires Correct ERP implementation is critical to an organization undergoing a change to a new process. This study uses a survey to determine how businesses can be more successful in the implementation process to make the entire process better.
in the Field of IT Management
The development of questionnaires for a particular study is a much more complicated undertaking than simply posing a few questions and statistically measuring the responses. The questions asked must be able to lead the respondent toward the type of responses that the researcher requires and they must contain elements that will further the study. Specifically:
The items should be cleared and not require more than one response
Closed questions are preferable
The reliability of the question for the study must be determined
Use short, clear questions
The questions should not show bias and skew the results
Provide some contingency questions to test accuracy of response
Format questions correctly
Include instructions that clearly lead to correct responses from that respondent
This paper looks at six theses and dissertations whose research was conducted using questionnaires. The questions are compared to the research question(s) to determine if the person who designed the survey followed the proper procedures to ensure the validity of the survey for the items required. This research was done using comparison tables.
Comparison Tables
1. The study looked at how individuals perceive ERP and then looks at what systems the individual chose to use given their preference for a certain model. The questionnaire is a standard model that has some issues with assigning variables, but generally seems to follow correct assessment procedures.

Management Principles Management Leadership Model Paper: Management Principles Research suggests that everyone is a manager in their own way. For instance, everyone manages his finances, time, careers and relationships. These examples of managing are simple and straightforward. However, when concepts of management apply in organizations, management becomes complex. At such a point, it calls for extensive studying in order to understand the theoretical basis of management. The application of management and the enunciation
It was thought that the Six Sigma concept was simply "too powerful to fail," a misconception on which the whole misfortune of the Six Sigma programs is based. The human factor is often not taken into consideration. Elements such as empowerment, communication and recognition play an important role in determining the success of the Six Sigma methodology, according to the result of the study. Implementation in sectors like finance and

Research Methods Literature Review A literature review on an identified research topic or issue is an important element when conducting a study regardless of whether the study employs qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods research design. The significance of conducting a literature review is attributable to the several functions and roles the review plays in the research process. Literature review is crucial when conducting a study because it’s a means of synthesizing
