Research Study Analysis

[Pin It]

For this assignment, you will analyze a research study that was published in the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication. This study is typical of how communication research findings are presented in scholarly journals. It follows a set pattern that all research studies in the empirical tradition follow, so you will look more at its “structure” than its content.

Go to “The Impact of Language Variety and Expertise on Perceptions of Online Political Discussions.”

Write a 1,050-word essay in which you describe the study based on the major headings used in the article. Make sure your essay answers these questions:

* What is a literature review? What does it do?

* What terms are defined?

* How many hypotheses are there?

* Where does the Research Methodology appear in the study?

* How many cases or subjects were there in the study?

* How many hypotheses were supported by the data?

* Where are the “conclusions” given in the research paper?

(You will likely be baffled by the statistical analyses used on the data collected by the researchers unless you have had a few courses in statistics. You can skip this section of the study.)

Finally, analyze what you learned about the study. Based on what you have read in our course content, was this study well designed? Why or why not? Make sure to support all your claims with directly quoted, summarized and paraphrased material from your course resources that you have properly cited with APA-style in-text citations and end-of-text references.

Write a reading response. Reading responses are NOT summaries! The response will be composed of questions and comments which demonstrate that you read the texts! This response should include 4-7 direct references from the readings, including page numbers.

Asking yes/no questions or questions that can easily be answered by reading the text will result in a failing grade!

Attached is an example of a grade A reading response and the 3 readings (If you do not have access to the readings, let me know and I will provide them.)

Locate on the internet a video of an interview. You may choose a news interview or any other interview you can locate.

Your job is to review the interview, and identify at least three instances of the use of interview techniques (paraphrase, summary, silence, reflection, or interpretation). In your discussion post, provide quotes of what the interviewer and interviewee said (or did not say in the case of silence) that demonstrate each interview technique. Be sure to identify the technique for which you are providing each example.

After you identify the interview techniques (you may use the same technique or different ones) with your three examples, also provide an analysis of the effectiveness of each technique. That is, was the technique effective

Be sure to provide a link to the video clip you are analyzing so that your classmates may also view the clip. Please be sure you cite all the sources you used in the assignment.

In your response posts to your classmates, view the clips that your classmates have located. Do you agree with the techniques that your classmates have identified? Your classmates’ analysis of the effect of the technique? Please explain why you agree or do not agree

Owens, Fink, and Berinstein were the three partners of MLH Partners, a California general partnership.  MLH owned 57 acres of unimproved land in Palos Verdes.  The MLH partnership agreement provided: “The general character and nature of business of this partnership shall be the holding of the real property  with the view to the appreciation in value thereof and the ultimate sale of said real property in its unimproved state.”  Kajima was a real estate developer that was looking for unimproved land suitable for a development of single-family homes.  Kajima expressed to Owens that Kajima was interested in purchasing the property owned by MLH.  Owens told Kamija that Fink would be handling any purchase negotiations.

Over a period of months, Kajima and Fink negotiated the sale of the property.  Their negotiations finally concluded with an offer from Kajima to purchase the property for $2 million, which Fink accepted on behalf of MLH.  When the closing date approached, Owens told Fink that he did not want to go forward with the sale, and sued Fink, the partnership, and Kajima to prevent the sale from closing.  Kajima filed a counterclaim for specific performance, asking the court to order the partnership to complete the sale.

After reviewing the material in Chapter 37 of the Business Law textbook and the provisions of California Corporations Code §§ 16301-16303 (part of the California Revised Uniform Partnership Act), answer the following questions.

1.  How should a court analyze whether or not Fink had the authority to bind the MLH partnership to a purchase contract to sell the partnership property under Corporations Code § 16301?

2.  How should the court’s analysis change, if at all, if the MLH partnership had recorded a statement of partnership authority that named Owens, Fink and Berinstein as the partners of MLH and stated that the approval of any two partners was required to authorize any instrument transferring real property held in the name of the partnership?

Homework submissions will be graded based upon the degree to which you completely and accurately answer each question, identifying the relevant facts and rules of law and applying those rules of law to the facts, using proper sentence structure, grammar, and spelling.  Question 1 has 10 points possible and question 2 has 5 points possible, for a total of 15 possible points

You are the Total Rewards Director for your organization. Over the past few years employees have been leaving to work for competitors. The CEO has expressed that she wants to conduct an organization wide review of the company’s current compensation strategy. The company now uses a seniority pay rewards system. The CEO wants to know if they should change to a merit pay strategy in order to make the company more competitive.

Prepare a memo to the CEO outlining your recommendation as to whether or not the company should continue to use the seniority pay system or change to a merit pay system. Be specific as to what model would be the best option for your company, and why. Include pros and cons of your options and conclude with your recommendation. The company is not unionized and is privately held. You do not have to factor in a collective bargaining agreement.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length

Unit III

Employers can use a variety of individual incentive programs to contribute to their compensation strategy. Which of the four types of individual incentive plans would you prefer? Explain your choice.

Unit IV

Create job descriptions and at least three pay level structures for one of the following positions: Warehouse Manager, Call Center Representative, or Director of Operations for a nonprofit organization.

Unit V

You are the compensation manager for a manufacturing company of about 200 employees. You are responsible for the company’s healthcare budget. The company has been spending an increasing amount of money on health insurance every year with no relief in sight. Currently, the company offers one plan, a traditional HMO that employees contribute to every pay day. The CEO wants to know what options are available to decrease the rising costs without sacrificing employee coverage. She does not want to offer less coverage, just pay less for the same thing or better. In a memo to the CEO, briefly summarize some of the options that the company should explore to contain its costs. You will need to clearly explain each option; however, you do not have to provide any calculations as this is just a starting point to examine all potential plans and options to lower and contain costs.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

Unit VII

You are the human resources manager for a small technology company. Currently you have 50 regular full-time employees.

Based upon your knowledge of contingent and alternative work arrangements, what would you suggest to the CEO? Draft a memo to the CEO explaining your recommendations. Make sure you justify your reasons as to why you chose the options you selected. You will need to cover ten full-time positions using contingent workers.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length
