1. Build the management-research question hierarchy.
2. What ethical issues are relevant to this study?
3. Describe the sampling plan. Analyze its strengths and weaknesses.
4. Describe the research design. Analyze its strengths and weaknesses.
5. Critique the survey used for the study.
6. Prepare the survey for analysis. Set up the code sheet for this study. How will this study be set up to be tabulated by a statistical analysis program like SPSS?
7. Assume you are compiling your research report. How would you present the statistical information within this case to the IndustryWeek decision maker, the manager who must decide whether or not to continue to publish reader service cards?
8. Assume you are compiling your research report. What are the limitations of this study?
9. Assume you are the decision maker for IndustryWeek. Given the declining value of the reader response card to subscribers, originally designed as a value-enhancing service to IW readers and advertisers alike, what further research might be suggested by the findings of this study?

Gender-Specific Therapy for Women Prisoners Research Question
On average, women make up about 7 percent of the total federal and state incarcerated population in the United States. This has increased since the 1980s due to stricter and more severe laws that focus on recreational drug use, a lack of community programs, and fewer treatment centers available for outpatients (Zaitow and Thomas, eds., 2003). According to the National Women's Law Centers, women prisoners report a higher than statistically normal history of domestic violence in their immediate past, and the fastest growing prison population with a disproportionate number of non-Whites forming over 60 percent of the population. In fact, over 30 percent of women in prison are serving sentences for murder involving a spouse or partner. The incarceration of women presents far different cultural and sociological issues than those of men – issues with children, family, sexual politics and more (NWLC, 2012).

Cloud Computing Research Question and Experimental Design
By questioning experienced information security officers working at entrenched tech companies, this study seeks to gather pertinent data regarding the way in which organizational attitudes toward IT security have evolved, or remained static, throughout several instances of rapid technological advancement. The introduction of interoffice email enabled employees to instantly exchange information and share resources, but with this unprecedented level of communicative convenience came a whole host of IT security concerns. The same is true with the advent of online commerce and social media, which is why seeking the viewpoints of those information security officers who have experienced these transitions is especially important in terms of contributing to the prevailing research and consensus theory. By diversifying the survey questions to include both numerically sortable multiple choice questions and more subjective essay-style prompts, the data should also be sufficiently randomized to provide the basis for the formation of viable conclusions.
