However, college students are not an easily quantifiable demographic. Their age and other characteristics vary greatly, making it impossible to precisely categorize them. Second, it will be difficult to select random participants because, with the use of alcohol, the people most likely to participate in the study are those who enjoy drinking alcohol. This will effect the results because people who drink alcohol have a higher tolerance and thus will show less effect after consuming it. Third, because of the use of alcohol the company will have to ensure that all participants are legal. Further, the participants will have to be informed that they are drinking an intoxicating substance. This will make having a control and experimental group impossible because those drinking alcohol will have to know they are drinking, which could create a mental effect on their performance and thus effect the overall results. For these reasons, as chief researcher, I would advise the company president that this experiment will not be worth the time or effort and, even if it could be accomplished it would not have the intended results as it is established that drinking and driving is never a good choice.
Question Four:
Starting a research branch in a foreign country is always a difficult challenge....
When the location is China, these challenges are even greater due to the numerous societal and cultural differences that exist. These differences will make it difficult for the department head to work in terms of hiring and supervising the local employees. For this reason, the first step I would need to take is to spend a significant amount of time learning about the culture and how business is done in China.
It would be essential for me to spend time with other research departments in China to observe and take notes on the research process. This will give me an opportunity to ask questions and become familiar with the general way business is done in China. I would also benefit from enrolling in a Chinese language and culture class, preferably through a business school, in order to be acquainted with the cultural norms that may effect how I operate my research department. Finally, I would want to hire a Chinese head researcher to act as the human resources chair and assist me heavily with the hiring and training of my employees.

Faith Integration Preventing Research Misconduct through Faith Integration The process of conducting research is typically aimed at exploring a scientific postulate, confirming an emergent theory or disproving a faulty hypothesis. By and large, the purpose of research is to further human understanding and improve our abilities in areas such as the sciences, sociology and medicine. Yet, there are distinct challenges to ensuring that this research is conducted with a clear code of
nursing research: Discussion questions Quantitative research includes descriptive, correlative, quasi-experimentational, and experimentational research (Burns 2010: 21). Descriptive research describes a phenomenon, purely and simply. Correlative research attempts to determine if there is a correlation between two types of phenomenon (such as a correlation between participation in athletic sports and overweight adolescents' decrease in BMI). Quasi-experimental research may have a 'control group' in the real world (such as overweight adolescents who
Emergency The mobile phone is extremely useful in the case of emergency situation. The owner of such a mobile device can call 911 for free from their mobile phone, even if the owner's phone credit does not allow for calls to be made. Also, the camera of the mobile phone can be used in recording certain aspects that are useful in such situations (Reardon, 2006). Storage An important feature of mobile phones consists
Researchers have an occasion to further organizational science and to make research practical by producing information that can impact changing organizational forms and circumstances. Pragmatically, academic researchers are not likely to get access to a company that is going through change unless the practitioners believe the research will be helpful (Gibson & Mohrman, 2001). There have been a number of calls to augment the significance and effectiveness of organizational science
Case 9.3This scenario is an example of an intellectual property case in relation to research. Theo�s and Lana�s actions relate to the use of copyrighted material in research. One of the legal implications, in this case, is whether Lana had valid obligations to assign rights of the copyrighted material to Theo. Secondly, the case generates concerns regarding the extent to which the sharing of data is legal. Theo and Lana
For some the issue then arises when the pluripotent cells are removed from the blastocyst, as this very act negates the ability for the cell group to develop into a human being. "Note that the process of changing from totipotent to pluripotent to multipotent cells is not reversible -- that is, pluripotent stem cells do not produce totipotent stem cells, and multipotent stem cells do not produce pluripotent stem cells."
