...George Leong B.Comm.: Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) appears to be rising from the ashes, as investors dive back into the stock of the once-fabled maker of the “BlackBerry.” For Research In Motion (RIM), it has been quite the journey after the investment community, including myself, thought the end was near for this former Wall Street star. Since the emergence of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), the BlackBerry and RIM’s “Playbook” tablet have proved to be horrible failures, based on my stock analysis. But something strange is happening in the equities market, as RIM has surged 168% since trading at $6.43 on September 21, 2012; Apple, on the other hand, has declined 29% in the same period, according to my technical analysis. My stock analysis shows an opening gap on the RIM stock chart on January 22 on a bullish moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) as indicated by the circles; while this is bullish, be wary of the stock’s overbought condition. Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com The smartphone and tablet markets continue to be extremely competitive, and I expect this competition will heat up further, based on my stock analysis. My stock analysis suggests that Apple dominates the tablet market, but there is strong competition from Google Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOG) “Nexus” tablet and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.’s “Galaxy” series. (Read “Why Apple Needs to Refocus Its Energy.”) Some believers are also surfacing as RIM gets ready to launch new its new line of devices...

...Potential Life Lost in the Unites States' is a current 2013, peer reviewed research from The American Journal of Public Health. The Objective of the article was to "provide current estimates of alcohol-attributable cancer mortality and years of potential life lost in the United States" (Naimi, 2013). The research contains many methods, sources, discussions, statistical analyses, results, limitations and strengths. After conducting the research, they have found that alcohol is a major contributor to cancer mortality and years of potential life lost as it was approximated at 19,000 cancer deaths, or 3.5% of all US cancer deaths in 2009 and 18 years of Potential life lost (Naimi, 2013). The claim of the article is that alcohol is accountable for 4% of all deaths worldwide and it increases the risk for cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx, larynx oesophagus and liver. Quantitative methods used were successfully able to clarify the claim of the article thus conducting the results. These methods included using sensitivity analyses based on 2 different methodologies and 2 separate nationwide surveys. Examples of these include: Adult alcohol consumption on data from the 2009 and 2009-10 national alcohol survey. However, one limitation to the methods is that it did not have a leeway for the types of drinks consumed. There is no real ideology portrayed within the academic research due to it being based on pure research and facts rather than people's opinions. However, there is still a slight...

Francis March 20, 2015 Introduction Research In Motion (RIM) began in 1984 with two School of Engineering students from Canada, Mike Lazaridis President and Co-CEO (University of Waterloo) and Douglas Fregin Vice President of Operations (University of Windsor). These two young men had ambition and vision that translated into success. RIM became the first to market in the wireless data technology industry. From 1988 through 2006 they produced a number of Award winning products in the Wireless Data Communication Technology Industry that kept them on the cutting edge of Information Technology and Innovation. Challenges Faced by RIM RIM became an industry giant faced with producing continued innovative products in the rapidly changing environment of Wireless Data Communications in the field of Information Technology. They grasped a large share of the market with the creation and continued development of the Black Barry their most famous product and its’ technology. They had to forecast the future in order to meet market demands and reserve resources while keeping up with the competition during a time of rapidly changing technology.

...Discuss potential challenges to validity and reliability of your research question, data, and analysis. Validity and reliability are the backbone of what is accepted as scientific proof by researchers. Potential challenges to reliability of a research question, data, and analyses are any significant results must be repeatable. Anyone who wanted to perform the same experiment applying the same conditions should arrive at the same result. If this is successful this reinforces the results and makes a larger population accept hypothesis. Potential challenges to validity of a research question, data, and analysis is making sure whether research actually measures what it claims to measure. If someone else who looked at the research and questions if the research really measures what it supposed to, the research results are in danger of being null and void and research findings wouldn't carry weight. Potential challenges to validity and reliability of data and analysis is making sure data is reliable in the first place before any test is applied. Any misconstrue data or oversight from beginning will leave false data entered in the statistical hypothesis test that would not produce accurate results. Challenges to validity of data, and analyses are meeting requirements of the scientific research method. Following all requirements and proper procedures when gather information, chosen right population and sample sizes, and any other requirements when using method. Accurate interpretation...

...Understanding Business Research Terms and Concepts Rurik M. Frizzell RES/351 September 29th 2014 Professor Southard Using qualitative research design methods is most essential when dealing with business research. Understanding how numbers and data effect a business’ growth and production are essential in determining what is making or breaking a company’s vision. Profit is understandably the primary goal of any business; however, qualitative data is most essential when determining data on what products, programs, or ideas are attractive to a potential or current customer. Using qualitative analysis will help in making the right choices and provide quality overview for necessary adjustments. In 1982 Adobe Systems was engineered by two men by the names of John Warnock, and Charles Geschke. Using computers for illustration and artwork design was the primary goal of the founders of Adobe. The scientific ingenuity and hard work ushered in an era of design and computer generated programs. The impact was magnificent and is still going strong today, over 40 years later. One of the largest understandings of Adobe was unmet customer needs. Their belief was that even in an age of collecting data, no light can be shed on the gap of unmet customer needs. By determining what customers needed by using surveys, collecting email comments and letters, and by communicating with people and businesses, Adobe believed that it could continuously make adjustments to their programming to satisfy...

...Global Market Research Case Study Analysis The situation discussed in the case tells of an opportunity afforded Sperry/MacLennan Architects and Planners; the Canadian company was founded in 1972 as a one-man architectural practice and years since then they have become a very respected and profitable company in the field of architecture. It has been recorded in text that Aaker, Kumar & Day (2007) stated, “Eight market niches were identified for Canadian architects in the United States, one of which was educational facilities, in particular post-secondary institutions. This niche, identified as most likely to match S/M’s capabilities, is controlled by state governments and private organizations. Mitch Brooks, a junior partner in the firm, has plans to identify and evaluate other possible markets for S/M’s services as part of his October presentation to the board. Other parts of the United States, or the affluent countries of Europe, where recreational facilities are regularly patronized and design is taken seriously, might provide a better export market, given S/M’s string of design successes at home and the international recognition afforded by the Amherst facility design award.” (Chapter 3). Fortunately for S/M, things began to take a turn in the right direction when their persistence and faith was rewarded in 1983. Sperry won the competition for the aquatics facility for the Canada Games in Saint John. Sperry had gained renowned nationwide acknowledgment for its sports facility...
