Post as a Team, a Total of Three Paragraphs (one Posting for Each Team):
• Two paragraphs in which you compare your and your partner's coding structure and strategies.
• One paragraph in which you analyze and discuss the experience of hand coding and issues of quality.
Hand coding is one of the most common approaches of data integration in most organizations. It is necessary in delivering big projects in time and with minimal problems. We organized the materials into groups before beginning the process of coding. This created differences in strategies of coding since we applied different languages or images in marking the segments. We used different categories to label the groups of data using our different languages. It is necessary to note that we used different segments, which have unequal amount of data under analysis (Raser & Lemon, 2011). We recorded the existing data after assembling...
The codes I used addressed a larger theoretical scope than the one used by my companion. This led to different results from the same analysis since we had completely different results from the coding process. This is because we developed different codes from different emerging evidence from the participants. In addition to this, the codes that emerged in the process of data analysis were considerable different leading to inconsistent codebooks (Raser & Lemon, 2011).
From the inconsistencies experienced in the coding process, it was evident that our process had several weaknesses. This is emerged from human error resulting from repetitive tasks. It also needed more time in order to enhance accuracy of the output. This could…
From the inconsistencies experienced in the coding process, it was evident that our process had several weaknesses. This is emerged from human error resulting from repetitive tasks. It also needed more time in order to enhance accuracy of the output. This could have adverse implications since more funds would be required for training to enhance consistency in results (Raser & Lemon, 2011). However, there is still no guarantee of attaining measurable benefits after completing the coding process. This makes data coding to be of low quality as compared to the modern methods of integrating data because of its inconsistent outcomes in case of coding similar data by different people.
Patton (2002) reports that the aim of the first reading through data is to develop the coding categories or classification system, followed by a new reading to actually start the formal coding in a systematic way (Patton, 2002). The use of colored highlighting pens is also helpful to some to highlight a different idea or concepts (Patton, 2002). My coding structure and strategies were based on my reading of the data and developing coding categories, followed by a new reading to systematically start a formal coding process. Finally, Patton (2002) reports that a qualitative analyst must first deal with the challenge of convergence in developing codes and categories; yet these categories should be judged by internal homogeneity and external heterogeneity (Patton, 2002). Internal homogeneity is concerned with the extent to which the data that belong in a certain category hold together or 'dovetail' in a meaningful way, while external heterogeneity is concerned with the extent to which differences among categories are bold and clear (Patton, 2002). My coding process involved putting my data into categories and examining similarities and themes found within the data, as well as differences. An example of my coding strategy is found in the coded interview question below of the three interviewee's responses:
Based on these characteristics, what do you admire most about this
Total Rewards: Compensation That Encourages Developing a more comprehensive and conscious reward system can be an excellent way to motivate employees, to maintain and exceed ethical human resources management practices, and to attract and retain top talent through performance-based compensation. There are also several legal considerations that need to be taken into account before implementing such a system, however; though it might seem odd that trying to give employees more could
Total Quality Management Objective of this paper is to discuss the concept of TQM (Total Quality Management) using the Deming's 14 points to illustrate how business and education integrate TQM to deliver high quality product and services. The paper further chooses two of the Deming's 14 points to distinguish how business and education implement concept of TQM in their business operations. Total Quality Management Total Quality Management (TQM) is a management philosophy and
Total quality management (TQM) Total Quality Management is a particular management style where the aim is to produce total quality products for a customer or a client, where the customer has the right to define 'quality'. When the customer declares that the particular product or service is not up to the mark or of inferior quality or anything else, then the product or the service is considered to be not of
The questionnaires for the purpose of this particular study were completed by 179 participants. The gender preference breakdown of the participants included 60 lesbians, 45 heterosexual females, 39 heterosexual males and 37 gay males (Harkless, Blaine, 2005). When the study was completed and the data went through analysis it was found that gay men and lesbian women reported a higher degree of post relationship involvement with their former partners than heterosexual
This includes putting in place international legal systems, dispute resolution mechanisms as well as cooperative arrangements.14 The call this approach social peace-building or structural peace-building. Such peace-building involves "creating structures -- systems of behavior, institutions, concerted actions -- that support the embodiment or implementation of a peace culture."15 This is what the author's call multi-track diplomacy. It involves individuals who are not normally involved in the peace process, particularly business
Team work and team spirit seems to be one of the issues that companies tend to emphasize nowadays. A good team spirit may lead to considerable achievements and an increase in the team's efficiency. However, it is clear that a team, formed from individuals who are different one from another, may be also the appropriate environment for divergent opinions and these sometimes lead to conflicts. Although the general illusion is
