...Case This research tries to prove that negotiation classes improve the overall ability and performance of today’s managers. It attempts to exemplify that when students are introduced to typical negotiation- training courses, which integrated the principles of instructional design believed they had improved their negotiating skills and confidence, adapted more integrative conflict management styles, and implemented their newfound skills in important real world negotiations. The researchers claim that the data gained from the experiment enhances the information about the best ways to increase transfer rates for up-and-coming negotiators. The purpose of this research was to explore the efficacy of a semester-long negotiation-training course designed according to the instructional design theory in improving negotiator-perceived skill or ability and post-training confidence. “Given the widespread availability and popularity of negotiation courses at universities researchers can infer that students and their employers believe that such courses are an effective way to learn negotiation strategies and techniques and to improve negotiating skill.” (p. 2/7) The design of the research is qualitative. Data was collected from two samples from surveys. The first sample was taken from a group of 37 graduate students who volunteered for the one-group pretest posttest study. They were administered surveys used to test confidence, skill-building, and negotiating-style hypotheses. The group...

...[pic] The Java Hut Coffee Cafe' With the proposed idea of opening a Coffee Cafe’ the appropriate research design would be the quantitative research design. The first step to take in this process is to introduce a business plan to the group. The group has decided to research several areas before making any further decisions. The predicament facing a business startup for a coffee shop is finding an appropriate location, revenue for funding, development of a profitable product line, training and marketing strategies for our desire target group. The goal established at this point will be to get a feel for the local market and then plan, analyze, and disseminate the relevant data that is found through the research process. A second and most important goal will be to evaluate and determine the projected return on investment (ROI). This will depend on several variables from choosing the right employees, products, and even economic feasibility of the area in which the shop is opened. Local vendors available to stock the shop’s supplies will need to be contacted and interviewed for maximizing profits and efficiency. The group will use selected strategies in its research process, gathering data, one sampling at a time, to build the information base that is needed to continue with the research design. Location is the first topic of discussion. The significance of choosing a location can be critical. Certainly, a shop next to or across the street...

...Quantitative Critical Appraisal To commence this quantitative analysis the start point was to formulate a robust quantitative question in order to provide direction for the literature search. Newell & Burnard (2006) suggest that a strong question informs the research design, research method, the population, the intervention and the outcomes of interest. There are three factors for focusing questions 1. Facilitating the search for relevant evidence, 2. deciding whether the evidence is applicable to the group in question, and 3. sorting best evidence from weaker, less valid evidence (LoBiondo-Wood et al, 2002). The question was framed around the elements of PICO; standing for “patients,” “intervention,” “comparison,” and “outcome” (Boston University Medline Plus, 2000a; Craig & Smyth, 2002). The PICO approach was developed around Evidence-Based Medicine (Richardson & Wilson, 1997), and was therefore designed for clinical studies, it can though be adapted to any research context. | | |People, patients or population - who are you asking the question about? | |Intervention - what intervention are you interested in? | |Control or comparison - what are you comparing the intervention to? ...
