...protocol. It seems to be the way in scientific endeavors that we can take a simple concept and make the concept extremely difficult to comprehend; such is the case with reliability. There are various methods to determine reliability and each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Our purpose here is to try to make since of the various reliability methods. To review, reliability is a measure of the stability or consistency of a test protocol. Measures of reliability are typically reported in terms of Pearson Correlation Coefficients. In brief, these correlation measures range from –1 to 1, with larger values indicating high relationships. Generally, 0.30 is considered minimum to indicate marginal reliability. If you conceptualize consistency as stability over time or stability from item to item then there are different approaches to the measure of reliability. Consistency or stability over time is measured by test – retest reliability. This type of reliability is “in-line” with the traditional view of reliability, and is usually measured by correlation tests given to a group of subjects twice over a tasteful period, during which nothing has happen to your participants to effect their results. Therein lays, the major disadvantage of this method of reliability. Other problems are concerned with the first test influence on the retesting, perhaps there is some type of learning effect where taking the first test teaches one how to take the second test. The problems...

...Organizations as a system. A system is a whole made up of parts. Each part can affect the way other parts work and the way all parts work together will determine how well the system works. when can look at business organization as a system because it conforms to the system definition; it recognizes the interrelationships of people, processes, decisions and designs organizational structure in order to realize its projected economic goal. An organization with a good designed system will requires an understanding of how all the parts (for instance, HR department, production department, logistic department, finance department, sales department, marketing department, IT department …etc) fit together as a whole, an intimate understanding of the parts themselves for a better understanding of endogenous event and a full awareness of the organization’s environment including the other external systems to which it is connected to better prepare for exogenous changes. Some hypothetical problems that disrupt the balance of the an organization would be a coordination or communication issue between departments, for instance HR department not selecting adequate candidate for a specific job skill because it did not have all relevant information about the job, or for instance marketing department lunches a new product without integrating logistic department in the project which may cause delays of production and order fulfillment issues. Another issue that may disrupt the balance of the system...

...Innovation, Design, and Creativity Eric Johnson OI/361 February 13, 2013 Prof. Godwin Quashigah Innovation, design, and creativity are interdependent terms that conceptualize the meaning of implementation and the formation of unique thought. Defining innovation, design, and creativity helps to better understand the impact they have upon business development. An organization can substantially benefit by hiring individuals who can be innovative, creative, and design-oriented because these qualities collectively generate a competitive edge. Highlighting the business implications of innovation, design, and creativity and comparing and contrasting these terms allows a better understanding to factors that contribute to a successful business. Innovation is the formation, development, and implementation of a novel product, process, or service in which the goal exceeds current standards and improves effectiveness and efficiency giving way to a competitive advantage (Innovation, 2010a). In addition, innovation embraces the introduction of something new in spite of qualifiers concerning how groundbreaking or earth shattering such needs to be, only that the new idea or process is better than it was before. Design is the process of creatively transforming a thought process into a tangible, successful manner of operating a product or service. Creativity is a frame of mind that pushes...

...From the scenario, differentiate between the concepts of criminal law, antitrust, and health care as they apply to U.S. health law in the 21st Century. Conceptualize the primary ways in which these laws apply to U.S. health care administrators. In order to properly analyze between the concepts of criminal law, antitrust law, and the health care law I had to fully understand them individually. Worldwide, the criminal law is what protects and maintains the public well-being and safety of our communities. Criminal laws are directed to a system that is concerned with the punishment of those who commit crimes. The Antitrust law, helps prevent and/or control the intent of promoting competition within a business. Furthermore, we all understand that the health care law simply oversees all health issues whether it has to do with the physician, facility, and/or patient. In the 21st century, the primary way in which the laws apply to the U.S. health care administrator is based on how to receive proper business with affecting physician and patients. The criminal law deals with more on to properly treat someone who is in need of care within the health care establishment. The antitrust law differs tremendously. The antitrust laws in the United States is more comprehensive than those of other industrialized nations. Many other industrialized nations, perhaps because they focus on the possibility of foreign competition, have minimal antitrust law. In the United States, the original antitrust...

...HCS/341 2014 Abstract Identify human resource management’s role in the health care industry. Describe the functional roles of the human resource department based on your textbook and Electronic Reserve Readings. The human resources department is an important asset to any successful business. It provides services such as managing change and facilitating training and development, recruitment, selection and employee relations, pensions, benefits and communicating with employees. Although these are important factors in running a successful business the primary function of the human resources department is maintaining adequate and competent staffing levels at affordable costs. A flourishing business will depend on the human resources department to develop a successful system to facilitate each one of these vital services. According to Leadership profiles of managers in post-communist countries, Gasparishvili states, “HR departments are expected to design HR systems of their organizations in their unique contexts, after taking into view the specific ground realities surrounding them. In doing so, they need to conceptualize the possible issues and problems well, and learn to adopt an integrated approach in dealing with them through appropriate HR systems so that they all are directed towards the same goal.” (2001) Todays health care industry is a very dynamic field, therefore having a human resources department that can adapt to its unique demands requires goals...

...relationships are that of a relationship of some kind with a patient either the patient is a family member, friend, or known through business. Dual relationships are not that of a sexual manner as that does not constitute a dual relationship but more of crossing boundaries the same as accepting gifts or meeting outside the office (Zur, 1997- 2013). There are many forms of dual relationships but as long and the boundary in a sexual or more than doctor client relationship are not crossed (accepting gifts, hugging). In the scenario that was chosen the therapist/teacher is dealing with a dual relationship of his or her student confiding marital issues and at a later date asking for the professor to be him and his wife’s couple’s counselor. This is a situation in which the professional need to determine if this is a dual relationship, crossing boundaries, and meets ethical decision-making process. Definition of Dual Relationships Dual relationships are defined as professional and personal relationships that transpire involving a client and the therapist or psychologist (Pope & Keith-Spiegel, 2008). Dual relationships in the field of psychology are any relationship where different roles are between a therapist and client. For instance dual relationship is the client is also an acquaintance, family member, sexual partner, mentor, student, or business colleague of the therapist. As therapists or psychologists, they must avoid from entering a relationship or promising another individual...

...Research Design Summary Nancy Mohren RES/351 August 13, 2014 Strengths in qualitative research are receiving answers from outside sources (e.g. customers, employees, etc.) on what is negative internally in a business entity or what is satisfactory. A weakness of qualitative is the time consumption needed to perform this type of research. Focus groups, researchers, and decisions as to what types of research are needed to perform such research that makes it time-consuming. Strengths in quantitative research are the utilizations of “the deductive logic of natural sciences” (Horna, 1994) which means information gathered is hard data. Such data starts with a hypothesis and ends with concrete answers. A weakness of quantitative research lies in tendencies to only focus on one set time frame, and quantitative does not have the capability to change focus midway through any research format. Another weakness is the possibility of employing an unscrupulous researcher who will fake results for personal gain or is just “making a paycheck” and has no care about valid results. When using both designs combined, and the circumstances are appropriate, they do complement each other. If using qualitative research first, quantitative data helps by finding a sample that represents the research and locates deviant findings (Rossman and Wilson, 1991). When performing quantitative research first, it helps in conceptual development and instrumentation meaning the science behind quantitative...

...Definition of a fraction – A fraction is a number that is an integer multiple of a unit fraction. Fractions are a part of our everyday lives and are used extensively in the business and finance related area. They may be represented as precents and rates – error rate, interest rate, employment rate, productivity levels, etc. Trades and manufacturing are also prolific users of fractions in the length of materials, how many lengths fit into a structure and working out quantities of material need to complete a batch or run of product, (Tucker, 2008). Fractions can be represented in many different ways, the mathematical notation for a fraction is represented as k(1/l) and for whole numbers k,l(l>0) or in the common form of ¼ or ½ . Commonly found representations of fraction for the purpose of teaching are equally divided circles or rectangle. The concept of fractions are a difficult to teach part of mathematics as the younger ages can struggle to comprehend the shift from whole numbers to units, fractions or parts of a number. This can be due to many factors including the inability to conceptualise the breaking up of a whole into parts or units, (Pengelly, 1991). A good start to allowing children to comprehend this is the use of base shapes such as triangles or squares and to break these up into parts and get the students to work out how many parts of the whole there are, therefore working out the fraction that is required. This can be progresses to more difficult learnings...
