Research Methods In Psych Help Please!

Create an experiment with the information provided below and identify the hypothesis, the independent and dependent variables (IV and DV), possible confounding variables and the experimental and control groups and your manner of assignment of subjects to groups. Your format should look like this:
• Hypothesis:
• Independent Variable:
• Dependent Variable:
• Confounding Variables:
• Experimental Group(s)
• Control Group(s)
• Manner of assignment of subjects to groups:

Workers at a local bicycle manufacturing plant have been found to have a high rate of turnover and a lower than expected rate of productivity. As an I/O psychologist, you are hired to investigate and solve the problem. Based upon observations and interviews that you have conducted, you believe that current training procedures may be contributing to the problem. Design an experiment that will examine the effects of training on the rate of turnover and productivity. HINT: Training procedures can vary by type, amount of time and location. With respect to location, there is what is called Vestibule Training, which is training that takes place in a simulated work environment, that is, a work environment (location) that is separate from the actual work environment, where assembly and production take place. Vestibule training is used by companies to prevent a loss of productivity. Vestibule training is a method of teaching workers about their job. It is a room(s) separate from the actual work site. It approximates real working conditions and is equipped with actual production machinery and an instructor, where workers can learn about their job in a safe environment. Also, errors that may occur in this alternate location (vestibule) will not impact on the company’s productivity. It has all the equipment and operating procedures of the actual work area. It is simply a training site. So, as previously mentioned, your assignment is to create an experiment to solve the aforementioned problem and you will need to identify your hypothesis, independent and dependent variables, possible confounding variables, experimental and control groups and how you will place subjects into groups.

Accounting and Finance Week 6 – Assignment

Before you write your review, do the following:

Get a demo of two accounting software packages. For for-profit businesses, one must be either QuickBooks or AccountEdge (specifically designed for Mac computers but also used on Windows machines). For non-profits it must be MIP Fund Accounting by Abila. The other software can be your choice.
Interview a CFO, business owner, or Non-Profit executive in a business as similar to your business profile as possible. Your goal is to find out what accounting software they chose and what they like or don’t like about it. (They don’t have to be local. You can use the Internet to find someone to talk to who will give you their honest opinion.) If it is different than one you looked at, get a demo and include this software in your review.

Servant Leadership in Diverse Contexts

While servant leadership is often associated with Christianity and the Bible, one could argue it is compatible with most religions and philosophies and that it transcends cultures. This assignment presents you with an opportunity to explore other cultures, philosophies, and religions and asks you to think critically about how servant leadership practices are apparent in other religious and cultural values.

Select one cultural context and one religious viewpoint (other than Christianity, its denominations, or something already discussed in the textbook) and examine how the principles of servant leadership are evident in that culture and religion. In a 1,250-1,500-word essay, identify similarities and differences between servant leadership’s philosophies and the values evident in the selected cultural context and religious viewpoint. Be sure to provide specific examples of practices and/or values in your discussion.

You are required to locate two articles that examine servant leadership from a different cultural perspective and two articles that examine servant leadership from a different religious perspective. Be sure to select academic articles from reputable sources that are 10-20 pages in length. Include information from the articles in your discussion.

Reading Comprehension Assignment 3: American Girls and Just Between You an My

Assignment: Understanding, Analyzing, and Interpreting: American Girls and Just Between You and My

Directions: Based on your understanding of the assigned readings, answer the following prompts.

American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers

According to the author, Nancy Jo Sales, “What creates the culture of social media?” Do you agree with her claims about the culture of social media and its impact on teen girls? How does her argument about the culture of social media contrast with the claims about the benefits of social media seen in the other articles?

Sales writes, “One of the things that continually struck me over the course of my reporting was the similarity of girls’ experiences on social media regardless of their race or background.” How does this claim contradict with ideas presented in previous articles? How does it support ideas presented in previous articles? Explain.

“Just Between You, Me, and My 622 BFFS”

“‘The self, Manago said, becomes a brand. Something to be marketed to others rather than developed from within. Instead of intimates with whom you interact for the sake of exchange, friends become your consumers, an audience for whom you perform.” In what ways do individuals become brands through social media? How does this contradict ideas presented in previous readings?

What does the phrase “turning the self into a performance” mean to you? Do you think this phenomenon is limited to social media?

Explain how social media can lead to “the loss of control over your image and identity.” How does this idea contradict other ideas that we have encountered?

Inside Job

This explains the Wall Street culture and political context that led to the crash of 2008 and its immediate aftermath. It is a film with a very different perspective than Commanding Heights as regards the role of government in economics. How/why is it so different? What are the differences in views of regulation and the market? How preventable was the crash? Who were punished for it (and who got away with it)? How likely is it that a crash will happen again–especially with Obama regulations being rolled back by Trump? What does it mean to be “too big to fail?” (Know this term) How much did you know of this before watching this video and how accurate was your information? Knowing what you now know from this video, what in all this would you change if you could?

Give me a page of reaction–you may dwell on your feelings of frustration, or on solutions, or on what it tells you about course subjects-globalization, interdependency, the global circulation of everything,– what you think about the perspective of the video, and/or what you may do differently with what you now know. How does it contrast with the Commanding Heights (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlUas6s9oP8) one?

PLEASE READ TO MODEL YOUR POSTS

Using financial performance information at the company level for your selected Industry in topic one, discuss your views on the following questions. Use and refer to the assigned readings to support your views.

How is it that, even among the best performing industries, only some companies do well? How can some companies in poorly performing industries still do well?
Generally speaking, for companies in the same industry, what factors would explain differences in company performance over the long term?
Which company in your selected industry would you recommend for your team’s strategy project? Explain why, using data to support your recommendation. Remember that you will want to select a company that is not already operating in too many of the BRICS+ Next 11 countries, as that would leave you with little room for international expansion.

Exxon

Overall economic value creation

How has been the overall stock value evolution of Exxon in the last 5 years?

Using finance.yahoo.com interactive chart, while the average stock exchange (DJI Dow Jones, IXIC Nasdaq, GSPC Standard & Poor’s) has grown by 87% to 129%, Exxon (XOM) has fallen by -3%.

Competition

Breaking News: What next after AceMyHomework.com shutdown, www.HomeworkNest.com

All AceMyHomework.com users to move to Homeworknest.com

To assess Exxon competitive situation we need to assess its profitability compared to the profitability of similar firms in terms of risk, in other terms, its EVA (Economic Value Added).

EVA = Exxon operating margin last 5 years – (Beta * Profitability of the average stock exchange) = 10.26% – (0.7 * 6%) = 6.06%

This speaks of oligopolistic competition, important piece of information.

Growth

The chart above shows that average Revenue Growth of last 5 years has been -14.21

This explains why the evolution of the stock value has been so poor.

Resources

The Price/Book value of last 5 years have been 2.17, lower than the average stock exchange, this reflects the future perspective of the stock investors based on Exxon’s unique resources, they perceive that the future outlook for Exxon is lower than the average stock exchange.

Conclusions

This reflects the previous analysis: the investors expect that the competitive situation (oligopoly) may somehow remain, but that sales growth may continue weak, reflecting their lack of unique resources.

Developmental Red Flags

Discussion: Developmental Red Flags
Wellness visits are an important part of pediatric primary care. During these visits, patient growth and development are assessed. As an advanced practice nurse who performs these assessments, you must be able to distinguish between normal and abnormal growth and development to recognize red flags. While some patients may not meet milestones due to differences in rates of development, abnormal development might also be a red flag of an underlying problem. In this Discussion, you examine the following case studies and consider potential developmental red flags:

Case Study
Jose is a 36-month-old who presents for a preschool evaluation. His father reports the following development:
• Physical: Walks, runs, and jumps independently, walks up stairs alternating feet, pedals a three-wheeler, scribbles, copies circles and squares, and is able to balance on one foot for 2 to 3 seconds.
• Social: Recognizes three colors; speech is 75% understandable; uses three- to four-word sentences; talks about friends, favorite activities, and family; frequently engages in imitative play; has an imaginary friend; does stutter on occasion when excited or when intent on getting something said. Will typically repeat the first word in a sentence three to four times, but does not repeat syllables or consonants. This happens three to four times a week.
To prepare:
• Review this week’s media presentations, as well as “Developmental Management of Infants” and “Developmental Management of Toddlers and Preschoolers” in the Burns et al. text.
• Think about how physical, social, and cognitive development vary during infancy, toddlerhood, and the preschool years. Reflect on normal versus abnormal growth and development and consider the decision-making process of identifying and managing red flags of abnormal development.
• Select one of the three case studies provided. Reflect on the patient information included in the case study and consider any developmental red flags.
• Reflect on standardized screening tools, clinical guidelines, and management strategies that would be used to assess and manage the patient in your selected case study.
•
Post an explanation of any developmental red flags that presented in the case study you selected based on the stages of normal physical, social, and cognitive development for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Explain how you differentiated between normal and abnormal growth and development for this patient and identify which standardized screening tools, clinical guidelines, and management strategies you might use to assess and manage this patient and why.

Reference list

Methodology: This section provides the reader with a description of how you carried out your qualitative research project, and the variables you identified and analyzed. It describes any special considerations and defines any limitations and terms specific to this project, if necessary. This section can be brief or more complicated, depending on the project, written in a single page.

Analysis and Findings: They are not the same as conclusions. In the analysis component of this section you identify how you analyzed the data. The second part is the finding you got from your analysis of the data. The findings are the facts that you developed, not your interpretation of the facts. That interpretation is conducted in the conclusions and recommendations section of the paper. Findings will come from the prior research you examined and your analysis of those prior findings to create new findings for your paper. While there may be some facts that are such that they will stand and translate to your paper, the intent is to create new knowledge, so you will normally analyze the data to create your own findings of what facts that data represents.

Conclusions and Recommendations: This is the section where you give your interpretation of the data. Here you tell the reader what the findings mean. Often the conclusions and recommendations sections will mirror the findings in construct as the researcher tells the reader what that researcher sees as the meaning of that data, their conclusions. Then, drawing on those conclusions, the researcher tells the reader what they believe needs to be done to solve/answer the research question. This section may include recognition of any needs for further research and then finishes with a traditional conclusion to the paper as a whole.

Remember, your paper should seek to answer a question that helps to solve the research question and validates or culls your hypothesis.

Technical Requirements:

Length: Minimum of 10-12 pages double spaced, 1″ margins, 12 pitch type in Times New Roman font.

Citations/References: You must use the APA style for this assignment. A minimum of 10 outside references required.

Homeland Security Organizations and Agencies

The homeland security system in the United States is a “national” system in the sense that it includes all levels of government—federal, state, local, and tribal—as well as the private sector and volunteer organizations. It does not refer to the federal government exclusively, nor just to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It is a comprehensive, integrated, multidisciplinary, and multijurisdictional system including a wide variety of organizations and agencies at all levels. Organizations and agencies must work together and effectively coordinate their efforts to prevent and respond to natural and man-made disasters and hazards. Documents such as the “National Incident Management System” (NIMS), the “National Response Framework” (NRF), and the “National Preparedness Guidelines” were created to help organizations and agencies coordinate their efforts. In this Discussion, you examine how specific organizations and agencies interact and coordinate their efforts when responding to a threat to homeland security.

2-3pages.

Review the assigned pages of the article “National Preparedness Guidelines,” focusing on the description of target capabilities and their corresponding elements.
Review the assigned pages of the article “National Incident Management System.” Focus on the purpose, key concepts, and components of NIMS, such as the standardized Incident Command System (ICS).
Review the assigned pages of the article “National Response Framework.” Focus on the overview of the framework and its guiding doctrine, as well as on the description of the various agencies and officials at all levels of government and the private sector that have roles and responsibilities in disaster response.
Think about the likely threats that might affect your state or locale, such as terrorist attacks; natural disasters, such as tornadoes and hurricanes; and hazardous chemical spills. Select one threat for this assignment.
Based on the threat you selected, anticipate the federal, state, and local organizations and/or agencies that would respond.
Think in terms of, and in reference to, the roles and capabilities of each respective organization and/or agency you identified and how they might interact and coordinate their efforts.

With these thoughts in mind:

A brief description of the threat you selected. Then describe at least two organizations and/or agencies in the national homeland security system that would respond to this threat. Include how and why they might respond. Finally, explain how the organizations and/or agencies might interact and coordinate their efforts when responding to the threat. Be specific, and use examples to illustrate your explanation.

Recruiting (power point)

Overview

Create a 10 slide presentation that includes your findings about Internet recruiting and a job posting for a sales representative position.

Context

Employment selection decisions are significant for managers and organizations. Poor decisions can result in a tremendous loss for the company. Employee performance is critical to organizational effectiveness because an organization will only be as productive as its workers.

The Assessment 4 Context document contains additional information about the types of assessments used to select personnel.

Questions to Consider

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

Have you ever taken a test in school or for a job that simply did not make sense to you? Which test would you have chosen instead?
Which type of hiring strategy (for example, permanent hire, using a temporary agency, et cetera) would you use for CapraTek’s new manufacturing employees? Why?
Which type of recruiting strategy (for example, permanent hire, contract-to-hire, et cetera) would you use to fill the four CapraTek sales positions? Why?
How might social media fit into your hiring plans?

Assessment Instructions

Preparation

To prepare for this assessment, complete the following:

Read Chapters 3 and 4 and review Chapters 1 and 2 in Arthur’s Recruiting, Interviewing, Selecting, and Orienting New Employees e-book, linked in the Resources.
Read the scenario below.

Scenario

As part of CapraTek’s human resources team, you have been asked to research other employers and their Internet recruiting practices. This assessment has three parts:

Evaluate two employers’ online application processes.
Evaluate two general online job search sites for ease of use and information available.
Develop a job description for the CapraTek regional sales representative posting.

Present your information in the form of a PowerPoint presentation deck of 10 slides. Ensure your slides are uncrowded, visually appealing, and easy to read.

Requirements

Part 1: Identify two employers whose Web sites permit candidates to apply for positions online. You may choose any employer but preferably ones you might work for. Select only employers that allow online applications. Evaluate the user-friendliness of the application process and the value of the general job information found online. Consider whether the posted job information provides candidates with what they would want to know regarding the organization.

Using information from your research, create a PowerPoint slide presentation with bulleted points highlighting your key findings. Include the sites’ links. Add information in the slides’ notes section addressing the following:

Articulate the user-friendliness of the Web sites.
Compare the quality of the job information for each Web site from an employer’s point-of-view.

Part 2: Select two general job search Web sites (such as CareerBuilder, Indeed, SimplyHired, Monster). You may choose local or specific job sites. Look at the ease of use and the value of the general information provided on these Web sites.

Create additional slides for your presentation in which you include the links to the two Web sites and highlight your findings about them. Add information in the slides’ notes sections that includes the following:

Articulate the user-friendliness of these Web sites. Would you use them to search for a job? Why or why not?
Compare the quality of the job information for each Web site from an employer’s point-of-view.
Summarize findings for or against CapraTek using these selected Web sites for posting positions and searching for applicants.

Part 3: Using your job analysis information for CapraTek’s regional sales representatives, develop a job posting for this position. Make location, salary, and working conditions assumptions as needed. Finish the presentation with slides outlining the essentials for the regional sales representative job description as follows:

List the necessary qualifications, including educational background, technical experience, skills, and abilities.
Describe the physical environment and working conditions.
List the most important duties and responsibilities, with percentage of time spent on each, classifying each duty as essential or non-essential.

Conducting a Job Analysis

Overview

Write a 3 page memo outlining O*Net findings used to prepare a CapraTek regional sales representative job description.

Context

Job analysis can be seen as the foundation on which the entire staffing process is built. An effective job analysis informs which knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) are needed to effectively perform the job.

Questions to Consider

How would you go about gathering data for a job analysis? From whom would you get the data, and why that person?
What value would a job analysis have for the employer and candidate alike?
Which strategies are most appropriate for a lower-level hire as opposed to a manager?

Assessment Instructions

Preparation

To prepare for this assessment, complete the following:

Read Chapter 6 of Arthur’s Recruiting, Interviewing, Selecting, and Orienting New Employees e-book, linked in the Resources.
Read the scenario below.

Scenario

While planning for expansion, CapraTek is also concerned about its hiring and promotion practices at existing facilities. Management has asked for an analysis of the workforce in its flagship manufacturing facility. As the Recruiting Director for CapraTek’s major manufacturing facility you are concerned about the company’s hiring posture relative to women and minorities. Your manufacturing plant in a nearby major city especially worries you. You recently checked the latest statistics for the SMSA the plant is in and found the following:

Females in the labor force: 35%
Blacks in the labor force: 10%
Hispanics in the labor force: 5%
All other groups are 0%

To address your concerns you first looked at the selection statistics for the past 12 months. Note: This plant hires mostly unskilled laborers and then trains them. Here is what you found:

Hiring Statistics
	Total	Females	Blacks	Hispanics
Number applied	80	20	10	5
Number hired	20	6	3	1

Next you looked at your existing work force and found the following:

Total: 450
Females: 50
Blacks: 22
Hispanics: 20

Finally, you looked at how protected classes are being moved up in the plant. While workers are hired as unskilled laborers, that is not the whole story. There are two higher paying options open to them: they can become skilled machine operators (by passing an in-depth company run training program) and from there they can become line supervisors (this pays even more than the skilled jobs). You are concerned about how that program works also; the statistics are as follows:

Positions Within the Company
	Total	Females	Blacks	Hispanics
Unskilled workers	350	45	20	15
Skilled operators	50	1	2	3
Line supervisors	25	2	1	1

Note: The above totals do not add up to 450 or the work force totals because there are other jobs in the plant not used in this analysis.

Requirements

Using what you know about CapraTek’s hiring and promotion practices, prepare a report for top management addressing the following:

Analyze the data for evidence of adverse impact using the 4/5ths rule. Consider the applicant flow.
Analyze the data for evidence of adverse impact of employee utilization based on the relevant labor market for the state you chose in Assessment 1.
Analyze the data for evidence of adverse impact on any protected class concentrated in lower-paying jobs.
Assess CapraTek’s hiring and promotion practices to support its growth strategy.

Additional Requirements

Write 4 typed, double-spaced pages (not including title page or references).
Use Times New Roman font, 12 point.
Include a title page and, if needed, a reference page.

Planning an Organization’s Staffing Needs

Overview

Write a 2 page memo analyzing a U.S. state of your choice as a possible location for a new manufacturing plant.

Context

The following is one way to estimate the number of sales representatives needed next year:

Questions to Consider

To what extent do trends affecting workforce planning (such as increasingly diverse populations, aging workers, uneven geographic growth, and changing governmental economic policies) impact an organization’s ability to forecast its workforce needs?

Preparation

To prepare for this assessment, complete the following:

Read Chapters 1 and 2 of Arthur’s Recruiting, Interviewing, Selecting, and Orienting New Employees e-book, linked in the Resources.
Browse Fortune.com’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list, linked in the Resources.
Read the scenario below.

Scenario

CapraTek, a fictitious technology company, has a long history as a leader in the design and manufacture of computer server components and continues to provide innovative solutions to industry needs. They are currently leveraging this culture of innovation to expand into emerging wireless technologies. As part of that diversification, CapraTek is developing advanced smart-home technology.

Last month, CapraTek announced that it will begin developing a wireless system providing seamless integration of newer home electronics and appliances capable of being controlled electronically. Security, heating and cooling, lights, locks, telephone, home entertainment, computers, and gaming devices all controlled through a single wireless device and a simple Web-based interface—”It’s better than a butler, it’s Alfred!” Alfred! will be produced in a new manufacturing facility currently in the planning phase. Groundbreaking on the new facility is planned within the next six months with full operations to be accomplished in three phases over the next two years. Distribution of the Alfred! device and components will be through existing distributors and retail outlets.

As part of the human resources team, you have been asked to support locating and staffing this new manufacturing facility in order to meet CapraTek’s strategic growth needs. The plan is for Phase 1 to be needed in one year and Phases 2 and 3 at one-year intervals after that. Here is some data you have uncovered when looking at similar CapraTek facilities opened within the past five years:

Phase 1 = 140 production employees.
Phase 2 = An additional 80 production employees.
Phase 3 = An additional 120 production employees.

CapraTek’s facilities management has informed you that the initial training will take place on-site, and staff from other CapraTek locations will conduct the training over approximately a six-week period. Past experiences suggest that only one in five employees interviewed will be both qualified and willing to accept the job, and 20 percent of those hired will not complete the training.

Requirements

Select a U.S. state to analyze as a possible location that will support CapraTek’s hiring projections for the new facility. (Normally, this duty is not an HR function.) Using the described CapraTek hiring scenario, write a 2 page memo to CapraTek’s VP of operations in which you include the following:

Identify the number of production employees to recruit and hire. Note: This is to include the number of applicants needed to meet Phases 1, 2, and 3 as well as the number of hirings needed to meet production of the new product.
Describe how employment and demographic trends for your selected state impact CapraTek’s future workforce planning.
Assess elements of CapraTek’s workplace culture that could be developed for it to become an employer of choice. Include at least three elements, and support your answer from readings and other credible sources.

STAT517 Project #1: Supervised Learning

Question 1: Predicting Job Salary

A project for Data Mining at the University of Southampton. The aim is to predict a job’s salary with statistical learning, based on information within a job advert.

The main dataset consists of roughly 250k rows representing individual job ads, and a set of variables descriptions about each job ad. A simplified data of 10k could be retrieved at

salary=read.csv(“http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~stevel/Datasets/salary_uk.csv”,header=TRUE,sep=‘,’)

The variables are described as follows:

Id – A unique identifier for each job ad
Title – A freetext field supplied to us by the job advertiser as the Title of the job ad. Normally this is a summary of the job title or role.
FullDescription – The full text of the job ad as provided by the job advertiser.
LocationRaw – The freetext location as provided by the job advertiser.
LocationNormalized – Adzuna’s normalised location from within our own location tree, interpreted by us based on the raw location. Our normaliser is not perfect!
ContractType – full_time or part_time, interpreted by Adzuna from description or a specific additional field we received from the advertiser.
ContractTime – permanent or contract, interpreted by Adzuna from description or a specific additional field we received from the advertiser.
Company – the name of the employer as supplied to us by the job advertiser.
Category – which of 30 standard job categories this ad fits into, inferred in a very messy way based on the source the ad came from. We know there is a lot of noise and error in this field.
SalaryRaw – the freetext salary field we received in the job advert from the advertiser.
SalaryNormalised – the annualised salary interpreted by Adzuna from the raw salary. Note that this is always a single value based on the midpoint of any range found in the raw salary. This is the value we are trying to predict.
SourceName – the name of the website or advertiser from whom we received the job advert.

Present useful graphics to understand and/or reveal sensible info about the data set. Develop feasible models and compare their predictive accuracies and performance as a whole. Discuss the pros and cons of these models. Summarize and critique your modeling and findings.

Question 2: Predicting Income >$50k or not

This study focuses on the US Adult Census dataset; a repository of 32,561 entires carefully extracted from the 1994 US Census database. We would like to determine if an individual has a salary greater than or less than $50,000 annually based on the variables provided.

Present useful graphics to understand and/or reveal sensible info about the data set. Develop feasible models and compare their predictive accuracies and performance as a whole. Discuss the pros and cons of these models. Summarize and critique your modeling and findings.

Question 3: Purchasing Insurance

Caravan_train<-read.csv(“http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~stevel/Datasets/Caravan_train.csv”,header=TRUE,sep=’,’)

Caravan_unk<-read.csv(“http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~stevel/Datasets/Caravan_unk.csv”,header=TRUE,sep=’,’)

dim(Caravan_train)
# [1] 4630 86

dim(Caravan_unk)
# [1] 1064 85

The data above contains 4630 real customer records. Each record consists of 86 variables, containing sociodemographic data (variables 1-43) and product ownership (variables 44-86). The sociodemographic data is derived from zip codes. All customers living in areas with the same zip code have the same sociodemographic attributes. Variable 86 (Purchase) indicates whether the customer purchased a caravan insurance policy.

Based on a direct marketing problem, the goal is to $predict$ and $interpret$ caravan insurance policy ownership on the basis of product usage and sociodemographic data supplied about the customer.

Consider using all prediction models you learned for the prediction task, suppose your supervisor has limited time and resources to only approach 50 customers. You are asked to recommend to your supervisor a subset of 50 customers from these 1064 customers in the Caravan_unk file who would most likely buy a caravan policy. Report just the row numbers of your selected 50 customers as they appear in the Caravan_unk file in increasing order (say, row #4, 7, 11, 59, 113, …), then explain how you come up with this selected subset and your entire modeling process.

Essay One: Is College the Best Option?

Purpose: The main focus for this essay will be developing a controlling idea, especially a specific, arguable, and complex thesis. In this assignment you will be modeling your essay on textual readings. In addition, you will demonstrate the ability to apply appropriate MLA formatting to the paper.

Minimum Word Count: 900 (about 3 pages) Total Points: 75 (papers will be graded using the rubric posted in the left-hand menu titled Rubrics and Grading Standards)

Texts: They Say, I Say (Introduction, plus Chapters 1-3) Kenyon Commencement Speech (online video) “Should Everyone Go to College?” (208) “The New Liberal Arts?” (226) “Are Too Many People Going to College?” (234) “Two Years are Better Than Four” (255) “Colleges Prepare People for Life” (259) “Blue Collar Brilliance” (272) “Michelle Obama Commencement Speech” (285)

Topic: Using the texts for reference, write an essay in which you assess the value of a college education and discuss whether it is worth the cost. Do the benefits of a college education outweigh the sacrifices it requires, and if so to what extent?

Important Notes: • You must cite at least one source from the readings, but I recommend that you cite more. However, only use the sources listed above. Do not do any additional research because I want you to practice coming up with your own ideas. (You will conduct outside research later in the course!) • Be sure that you are building a complex thesis. Ask yourself whether someone might disagree with your argument. • You should consider how to measure slippery concepts such as “value” and “cost” (especially as they are applied to abstract terms like “culture” and “creativity”), as well as how you define a “college education” and what you expect it to accomplish. • This essay will require you to be careful and strategic in setting the parameters of your argument. Do not try to discuss every possible aspect of the subject. Choose your battles carefully. Avoid generalizing. Focus on concrete and specific issues. • Use the readings to your advantage, not only to help you develop your ideas but also as evidence to support your claims. • Notice how the writers position themselves in relation to the broader discussion on higher education. Try to follow their example.

Uber is largely hailed as the advent of the gig economy

Uber is largely hailed as the advent of the gig economy, which is the idea that people will not work for any one employer, but instead will work on projects for any variety of companies desiring their services. While creating a new type of entrepreneurship for individuals, it raises a host of new legal questions for companies around the law of agency.

An investment firm has asked you to evaluate Uber’s legal exposure for the conduct of its drivers.

Write an interoffice memo in which you:

Summarize the main principles of agency.
Analyze the circumstances under which Uber might be liable for the conduct of its drivers.
Identify the steps Uber can take, if any, to limit its legal exposure for the conduct of its drivers.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Assignment 3: The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace

Due Week 10 and worth 280 points

The year is 2025 and the U.S. Supreme Court has declared all laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace to be unconstitutional. In its opinion, however, the Supreme Court made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt policies and procedures prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination in the workplace. The Supreme Court also made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt hiring practices to diversify their workforces provided such practices did not include express preferences based upon immutable characteristics.

You have been hired as a consultant by a large, nationwide retailer to examine the business case for ensuring that all of the employee protections are found within the federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as the business case for prohibiting any other forms of discrimination in the workplace.

Write a four to six (4-6) page report in which you:

Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws.

Discuss the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting a form of discrimination not covered by any of the federal anti-discrimination laws.

State the benefits and costs of voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workforce.

Evaluate the ethical considerations of not voluntarily prohibiting the forms of discrimination laws examined in the first part of your report. Next, determine the ethical considerations of not voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices to diversify the workforce.

Provide a final recommendation to this retailer on whether or not they should ensure all, part, or none of the employee protections examined in the first part of your report. Your recommendation should also include whether or not the retailer should adopt hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workplace. Be sure to include a rationale for your recommendation along with an explanation for any rejections of contrary positions or other pertinent considerations.

Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Assignment 2: Final Report

Due Week 10, worth 200 points

This assignment is aligned to this course outcome:

Apply macroeconomic concepts to current and personal economic events and decisions.

In addition to writing about macroeconomic concepts, it’s equally important to be able to convey your understanding of these concepts by communicating them to others. In the workplace you might do this by writing briefs (like you did for Assignment 1), creating presentations, or writing reports for your manager or team.

This Final Report assignment will be a Word document (approximately 3 pages) that builds off your previous Economic Brief and selected industry.

For this assignment, you’ll examine at least one of the macroeconomic indicators or policies below within the context of the industry you have previously selected.

GDP growth
Unemployment rates
Inflation rates
Interest rates
International trade policy and issues related to trade balances, trade restrictions, etc.
Government fiscal policy and issues related to taxation, government spending, and budget deficits
FED (central bank) monetary policy and issues related to the FED’s mission to stabilize the economy

Case study Assignment

OpenTable is the leading supplier of reservation, table management, and guest management software for restaurants. In addition, the company operates OpenTable.com, the world’s most popular Web site for making restaurant reservations online. In just over 15 years, OpenTable has gone from a start-up to a successful and growing public company that counts around two-thirds of the nation’s reservation-taking restaurants as clients. Today, more than 32,000 restaurants in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan use the OpenTable hardware and software system. This system automates the reservation-taking and table management process, while allowing restaurants to build diner databases for improved guest recognition and targeted e-mail marketing. The OpenTable Web site, mobile site, and mobile app provide a fast, efficient way for diners to find available tables in real time. The Web sites and app connect directly to the thousands of computerized reservation systems at OpenTable restaurants, and reservations are immediately recorded in a restaurant’s electronic reservation book. © Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Restaurants subscribe to the OpenTable Electronic Reservation Book (ERB), the company’s proprietary software, which is installed on a touch-screen computer system and supported by asset-protection and security tools. The ERB software provides a real-time map of the restaurant floor and enables the restaurant to retain meal patterns of all parties, serving as a customer relationship management (CRM) system for restaurants. The software is upgraded periodically, and the latest version is designed to provide increased ease of use and a more thorough view of table availability to help turn more tables, enhance guest service, personalize responses to diners, coordinate the seating process, and maximize guest seating. The ERBs at OpenTable’s customer restaurants connect via the Internet to form an online network of restaurant reservation books. OpenTable’s revenue comes from two sources. Restaurants pay a one-time fee for on-site installation and training, a monthly subscription fee for software and hardware, and a transaction fee for each restaurant guest seated through online reservations. The online reservation service is free to diners. The business model encourages diners to assist in viral marketing. When an individual makes a reservation, the site “suggests” that they send invites to their dinner companions directly from OpenTable that include a link back to the OpenTable site. OpenTable is a service-based (software as service, or SaaS) e-commerce company. In other words, customers don’t buy software and install it on their computers, but instead go online and get the software functionality through subscriptions. OpenTable is also an online service that does not sell goods, but instead enables diners to make reservations, like social networking sites provide services. The restaurant industry was slow to leverage the power of the Internet. This was in part because the industry was, and continues to be, highly fragmented and local—made up of more than 30,000 small, independent businesses or local restaurant-owning groups. The founders of OpenTable knew that dealing with these restaurants as a single market would be difficult. They also realized that the Internet was changing things for diners by providing them with instant access to reviews, menus, and other information about dining options. And there was no method for making reservations online—we all know reserving by phone is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to errors. In order to make the system work, reach and scale were very important. For diners to use an online reservation system, they would need real-time access to a number of local restaurants, and the ability to instantly book confirmed reservations around the clock. If customers were planning a trip to another city, OpenTable would need participating restaurants in those cities. The company was originally incorporated in San Francisco in 1998 as Easyeats.com, morphing into OpenTable.com, Inc. a year later. When the company was founded, most restaurants did not have computers, let alone systems that would allow online reservations made through a central Web site. OpenTable’s initial strategy was to pay online restaurant reviewers for links to its Web site and target national chains in order to quickly expand its reach. This got the company into 50 cities, but it was spending $1 million a month and bringing in only $100,000 in revenue. Not exactly a formula for success. The original investors still felt there was a viable business to be built, and they made a number of management changes, including installing investor and board member Thomas Layton, founder of CitySearch.com, as OpenTable’s CEO. Layton cut staff, shut down marketing efforts, and got the company out of all but four cities: Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. The company retooled its hardware and software to create the user-friendly ERB system and deployed a door-to-door sales force to solicit subscriptions from high-end restaurants. The combination of e-commerce, user-friendly technology, and the personal touch worked. The four markets OpenTable targeted initially developed into active, local networks of restaurants and diners that continue to grow. OpenTable has implemented the same strategy across the country, and now includes approximately 32,000 OpenTable restaurant customers. In 17 years, the company has seated approximately 885 million diners, including 245 million via its mobile solutions, and it is currently averaging 17 million diners per month. In the second quarter of 2015, half of its seating requests in North America originated from a mobile device. As the company grew, investors began making plans for it to go public. Layton stepped down from his position as CEO in 2007, though he remained a board member. He was replaced by Jeffrey Jordan, former president of PayPal. Jordan had some experience with public companies from working with eBay on its acquisition of PayPal. In 2009, he chose an aggressive strategy—going ahead with an initial public offering (IPO) despite a terrible economy and worse financial markets. The gamble paid off. On its first day of trading, OpenTable’s shares climbed 59% and the share price climbed to over $100 in 2013, more than five times the $20 IPO price. Despite the challenging economy, OpenTable’s numbers at the time of the IPO were strong, and since then, it has continued to grow. In 2014, Priceline announced that it would acquire OpenTable for $2.6 billion. Priceline had long been rumored to be interested in OpenTable. OpenTable will benefit from Priceline’s global reach as it continues to expand its business beyond the United States, which has thus far accounted for about 80% of its revenues. Priceline has a strong track record of successful acquisitions, including Booking.com, which propelled Priceline’s revenue from the millions to the billions. Clearly, Priceline believes OpenTable can help it grow even further, this time into restaurant reservations. They might be right: OpenTable is well-positioned for future growth. Its size, track record of growth, and high customer satisfaction rates should continue to work in its favor. Priceline plans to allow OpenTable to operate autonomously. The company has benefited from having e-commerce revenue streams from subscription fees and per-transaction charges, rather than depending on advertising. Further, more than 50% of OpenTable’s revenue comes from B2B subscriptions, which are typically part of long-term contracts. Restaurants that have invested in OpenTable’s software package are less likely to want to incur the switching costs associated with changing to a different reservation management package. Another reason for its success is that OpenTable has a large number of satisfied customers. Restaurant owners report that they and their staff members find the software easy to use, and it helps them manage their business better. Specifically, it streamlines operations, helps fill additional seats, and improves quality of service, providing a concrete return on investment. This has led to both high customer satisfaction and high retention rates. OpenTable has also taken advantage of the interconnected needs of restaurants and diners. Restaurants want cost-effective ways to attract guests and manage their reservations, while diners want convenient ways to find available restaurants, choose among them, and make reservations. By creating an online network of restaurants and diners that transact with each other through real-time reservations, OpenTable has figured out how to successfully address the needs of both. OpenTable’s market exhibits network effects: the more people use it, the more utility the system delivers. More diners discover the benefits of using the online reservation system, which in turn delivers value to restaurant customers, and helps attract more restaurants to the network. While OpenTable is the biggest, most successful online player in the restaurant reservations market, it does have competitors. MenuPages offers access to restaurant menus and reviews, but visitors to the site can’t make reservations, and the site covers only eight U.S. cities. In 2012, OpenTable partnered with onetime competitor Urbanspoon, acquiring its reservation management system, Rezbook, and becoming Urbanspoon’s reservation provider. Looming on the horizon is Google, which purchased online restaurant guide Zagat in September 2011, raising the specter that it might try to compete with OpenTable, although Zagat does not yet possess that functionality. Competitors in other countries where OpenTable does not yet operate, such as Restalo in Spain and Italy, and in markets like casual dining, such as NoWait, represent challenges to OpenTable. India-based startup Zomato acquired U.S.-based NexTable in 2015, adding another challenger to the mix. The company is committed to shrewd technological investments to advance its position. It has a mobile Web site, mobile applications that work on just about every smartphone platform, and an iPad app that fully integrates with its ERB software. GPS enables mobile users to locate and make reservations at nearby venues. In 2015, OpenTable launched a version of its app for Apple Watch that reminds diners of their reservations, provides directions, and shows a countdown. It is also testing a premium service that involves paying for an additional fee for last-minute, prime-time reservations at popular restaurants, using a surge pricing algorithm similar to that used by Uber. OpenTable is attempting to shift its relationship with both diners and restaurants from a “transactional” relationship to an “experiential” relationship, which focuses on the experience of dining. OpenTable launched a payments feature that allows users to pay for meals completely within the OpenTable app on the iPhone, and in 2015 made this feature available for Android phones as well. Although a small number of restaurants currently offer the service, OpenTable is partnering with other mobile payment systems like Aloha to widen their mobile payment availability. OpenTable also redesigned its flagship Web site in 2014 to improve visual appeal and speed, and continued to update its image in 2015 with a complete rebranding, including a new logo and tagline and a marketing campaign, 100 Open Tables, featuring giveaways of iconic dining experiences around the world. OpenTable’s growth is projected to continue in the United States, Canada, and Mexico despite considerable market penetration. Selective international expansion is planned beyond its current operations in Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. OpenTable supports each of these locations with a direct sales force servicing approximately 1,000 restaurants. The company’s international strategy is to replicate the successful U.S. model by focusing initially on building a restaurant customer base. OpenTable believes the localized versions of its software will compare favorably against competitive software offerings, enabling them to expand across a broad selection of local restaurants.

Case Study Questions Why have OpenTable competitors had a difficult time competing against OpenTable? What characteristics of the restaurant market make it difficult for a reservation system to work? How did OpenTable change its marketing strategy to succeed? Why would restaurants find the SaaS model very attractive?

5 pages, double-spaced w separate reference page

Topic is”a profile on a company named Span Inc that provides support for new release prisoners” do need you to NOT write a kind of simple company report like one might do for a business class, where you look at profits and marketing plans and competition, etc.

Instead, I need you to humanize the topic–is there anyway for you to observe or report on how they interact with new release prisoners,by maybe taking an example (that sounds awful but what I mean is focus on one person or several people who are going to be released) and what obstacles they typically face, and how Span tries to assist them with these obstacles.

If you look at the post from Friday on the heroin addict: Bebinger, M. (2015, Sept. 25) After seven overdoses, Joey searches for a reason why he’s still here. WBUR CommonHealth. Retrieved from http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2015/09/joey-heroin-addiction-battle

This is kind of what I mean. Joey is the topic but he is meant to humanize the larger group/condition of addiction and what ‘typical’ obstacles they face.

Due to confidentiality I could understand why profiling people about to be released is problematic for you, but again I do want you to think of some way to get at the WHO and the WHY of this topic rather than a simple profile of the company.

Another thought, in profiling the company, and if you can’t really profile the prisoners themselves due to confidentiality, maybe you can profile one of the counselors who work with prisoners and that person (who again presents the larger topic of what this company tries to do) could tell you about the typical obstacles that s/he faces and that her clients/prisoners face as they try to reintegrate prisoners into society.

For example, I’d think women prisoners face unique challenges that perhaps male prisoners (without children) face? But I don’t know. That’s what your profile of this GROUP of people (prisoners being released) would show via the interview and observations of the company (and perhaps an employee/counselor who helps prisoners) would show.

A Profile Essay informs readers, provides insight, and uses vivid details about a subject. Unlike an essay based on experiences of its writer told in the first person, a profile offers the reader better understanding of an outside subject. This assignment presents subject matter for a specific audience and purpose and will lead you to identify main ideas, supporting evidence, and conclusions. It will also provide practice in form, organization, syntax, diction, style, and tone, while reinforcing that writing is a process requiring substantive revision.

Analyze the effectiveness of social media in the selling of banking services and products.

Social media is one of the most powerful networking platforms in the business world today. The use of this has been constantly increasing throughout the years as more people believe in its potential and it has proven to serve many purposes. According to Prodanova et al. (2015) the attributes that attract clients towards m-banking channels such as simplicity, practicality, rapidity of services, and modernity. Furthermore, comfort, accessibility, security, privacy, independence, continuity of service, full operation ability, charges are among the essential functional aspects that clients value. Both modern and traditional companies have indulged in the use of this platform due to its effective process of enhancing customer service as it enables a more personal relationship with individuals. The banking sector, being one of the most important entities in the current world, rely heavily on customer service due to its necessity in offering faster support, attention, information about the novelties and their selling product. The aim of this research study is to determine whether banks are achieving an optimal outcome with the use of social media.

Study Purpose

The study aims are to determine if banks are making optimal use of networks, differences between the primary entities in the use of their systems, details such as security, treatment, their use of business opportunities on the part of the banking entity. The purpose of this study is to pick up the definite idea of the use of this social networks within the most important banking entities in Spain and to create the ideal prototype of care using social media networks.

It will be in the best interest to pursue the topic through comparison between the significant banking entities and the use they give social media, how they direct themselves towards their customers, the treatment customers receive if there are existing ways of getting products without having to go to the banking branch. On the other hand, how the client feels when he’s getting the customer service through these social media platforms and, if he or she would prefer a conversation through the mobile phone if this generates distrust or trust, dependency or reliance, confidence or fear, security, or insecurity, and convenience or inconvenience.

Significance of the Study

Communication studies cover issues of human interaction with other individuals as well as institutions around them on various topics. This topic fits within the communications field as social media allows banks to connect with their customers in a completely different manner. Social media marketing throughout Facebook, game app, Twitter, and Instagram are becoming a convenient channel for retail customer interaction. According to Miranda (2013) in recent times, the online user-generated content through online social media networks has grown intensively. Collaborative projects, content communities, virtual game worlds, social networking sites, virtual social worlds, as well as blogs and microblogs are part of the social media technologies that are flourishing even in the global financial sector.

Prodanova et al. (2015) opine that currently balance checks, money transfer, ticket purchase, bill/tax payment, and hire mobile alert systems are performed through m-banking, hence the future is likely to have internet banking taking over the banking activities. This means that studying relevance, trends, and role of social media platforms becomes an important move the organizations could consider if they’ve to remain competent and relevant in business. Furthermore, it helps in the building of literature in business as an academic field so that the future scholars can explore It deeper and accrue relevant information.

Torres-Toukoumidis & Marín-Mateos (2017) mention that the 2015 National Institute of Statistics found out that 96.5 percent of the Spanish community own mobile phones, from which 22.7 percent use the internet in activities linked to bank accounts management. Similarly, Ditrenia’s study of 2015 indicated that fifteen million people in Spain have embraced mobile banking usage in control of their finances. With such findings, there is a forecast that by 2020 eighty percent of smartphone activities shall be on the banking market. Case studies

At the moment banks like Caixabank initiated digital platforms like Blackberry’s Apple World, Android Market, and AppleStore for financial service distribution in transfers, management of accounts, checking of balance sheets, customer service, and agency location in 2009. Afterwards, BBVA pioneered mobile payment application came out and enhanced bank management, consultation. The trend here shows that almost all banking institutions are utilizing digital and social media current trends in uplifting their business, innovatively running their affairs, acquiring clients, and expanding.

Objectives

The study objectives are to:

Determine the client’s profile that utilizes social media to contact with bank entities.
Evaluate the effectiveness of social media in the selling of banking services and products.
Determine the level of satisfaction of clients who use social media to contact their bank.
Establish the limitations found in the use of social media.
Compare the most known bank entities, choosing the best of each to create the customer service for the social media use.

The attainment of the above objectives in the study project call upon an analysis and comparison of prominent bank entities in Spain. Such banks include BBVA, Caixa, Santander bank through which data on social media usage, personalized use processes, customer service and commercial talks/information will guide the study.

Comparative analysis of Spanish Banks

Santander Bank utilizes social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, and Google plus banco to seek customer satisfaction, incidents, complaints, brand experience (Santander Bank, n.d.). The social media applications have enabled them to serve diverse clients such as institutions, universities, corporations, and private banking clients, as well as individual clients. Furthermore, through the platform, they offer financial education, show their channels and accessibility. BBVA, on the other hand, responds to comments in their twitter, Facebook, online forums, and blogs through a communication system that has improved its feedback to more positive comments and less negative feedback by 1.5 percent (Wamba et al., 2016). The IBM analytical systems analyze brand perception, create delighted clients, establish prospects of making new clients and monitor their activities to retain them.

According to BBVA, Creating opportunities (2017) since the transformation towards a digital ecosystem in 2016, BBVA has managed to have a unique customer experience, a new quality model that offers real-time customer feedback, rapid identification and implementation of improvement opportunities and increased functionalities. The company’s improvement and enhancement of mobile banking applications in Chile and Colombia have doubled sales, which were1.4 million products sales and a 60% increase customers’ interaction volume in 2016. In 2017, the increased distribution models, and physical network efficiency emerged in its other branches too. BBVA (2015) notes that there is a comprehensive account of how BBVA Bank in Spain has reinvented itself into a digital age institution and the benefits accrued. The document reviews the new multinationals, future business models, talent and cultural innovation and leadership. Though the BBVA (2015), it is possible to learn how electronic technologies work and its role in the future business.

Finally, Caixabank, which is the first bank in Spain is known for installing the digital focus through electronic transactions, and about 55 percent internet and mobile channels. It is the leading Spanish bank with the international acquisition, and a 15 % market accessibility, value creation as well stock market accessibility and at least 13.6 million clients within its business model. The bank offers crowdsourcing platforms through which they receive client ideas, online banking since 2009 with an active mobile and online base (CaixaBank, 2014). The platforms have maintained clients and given a high rating reputation to the bank. All the three banks have had a successful creation of digital databases, a lot of people now stock through their platforms, the implementation took off making them digital transformation leaders (Quesada, 2016). The use of digital has attracted a lot of talent and great entrepreneurs culture.

Theoretical framework

Given that the study is focusing on the social media platform, its usage among the clients, and related issues, the suitable prism to apply is social media theory. According to Kaplan & Heinlein (2010), the social media theory, social factor evaluates the level of presence of a media through the aspects of physical, acoustic, or visual contact. Intimacy and immediacy influence it making it highly or lowly present. Similarly, there are the tenets of media richness that assumes that communication can resolve ambiguity and reduce uncertainty due to the differing degree of richness they contain at a given time. It will be possible to answer how social media impact the brand value a company in this day and age.

Methodology

Research Design

The study methodology will be both qualitative and quantitative; that is a mixed approach to determine the relevance of social media platforms in the banking sector. The usage of social media platforms will be considered as a focal component that will enhance the examination of forms, the relevance of social media, and its usage in the current banking and overall business world.

Research Instrument

The study instrument will be a questionnaire that contains about ten validated questions, which focus on diverse ages of clients and from three Spanish different banks namely; Caixabank, BBVA, and Santander. The questions on the variables and research questions will have a Likert Scale measuring 1-5 with Always 5 Often 4 Not aware 3 Sometimes 2 Never 1. Its evaluation will enhance efficient and quick coding and analysis on the computer excel and other functional programs. The questionnaire will have items that will inquire about whether the customers utilize social media, the time they contact social media in the banking services and products, and satisfaction level. It also assesses if they would use social media again for this use, their attitude towards wait time and the process to be followed in the usage of the platform, and reasons behind clients entry into the social media. Then there is the most used social media platform applied in the banking services and products, the thought about social media and its continuity. These are the type of questions that the study will be asking the questionnaire. Consider the attached survey in Appendix 1.

Validity and Reliability of Data

To test validity and reliability, there will be interviews with the Public relations personnel or managers of the three selected Spanish banks that will serve it ascertaining the truth, reliability, and dependability of the information gathered from customers. Similarly, it will be significant to evaluate the ads and brochures of the selected three Spanish banks for it will expose the marketing and client response on their websites and company at large. A comparative analysis of the three Spanish banks will show the reliability of data as well as present diverse views of the nature of social media, its role and operation in the banking sector in relation to the clients.

Research Analysis

After collecting the data, the analysis will be enhanced through classification of data based on the study objectives, coding under specific titles based on the variables and the research questions, and offering both narration and organization of the items.

Overall, now the social media platform is a business strategy that indeed provokes the interest of people, allows self-assessment, persuasion, and the pursuit of potential client’s investment, engagement, organization, and experiment. The commonest social media platforms that companies use are; Google plus, Facebook, and LinkedIn. In the evaluation of the importance of social media and application in banks, it is clear that the clients use to search for products, comment on services offered by companies, order for goods, transact business, and follow up on organizational processes. Besides, social media is often used in improving customer retention, client acquisition, and marketing through images, analysis of client attitude, and promotions. The Spanish companies have proved the significance of social media through the innovative and expansion achievement they have attained while dispensing bank services and selling products. The idea has been adopted by a number of new multinationals for future business models, talent and cultural innovation and leadership. Therefore, an exploration of social media and usage in banks in critical in acquiring more relevant facts about its clients, usage and safety.
