Business development for a service based company

Methodology guidelines by the university:

Students must state clearly how they carried out their empirical study. There should also be
an account of alternative approaches considered with explanation of the reasons
underpinning the chosen methods, include any software used. The account of the research design should include a description and justification of:

· Methods of data collection

· Methods of data analysis

· Checks for reliability and analysis

· Ethical considerations arising out of the research design and how these have been managed

It is recommended that students present their research design in the form of a flow diagram
that depicts both the sequencing of methods and activities and purposes of these methods
and activities. The diagram should quickly convey to the reader what was done and why.
The researcher can then develop the discussion of the methodology around this graphic,
keeping the account brief but informative.

When deciding upon the methodology, students are advised to consider each of their
research objectives individually. It may not be possible to achieve all of the objectives with a
single methodological approach. Moreover, one, or more, of those objectives, may have
been wholly met from the extant evidence reviewed. The student needs to ensure that all
data gathering and analysis procedures are transparent; a good thesis should offer the
possibility of replication such that, if the same steps were carried out again, the same
results would be obtained.

My research:

I am working for a service based company (it provides services such as men’s grooming at the customers home). The business of the company has reached its peak and is now at saturation. Need strategies to improve the business.

I am doing a survey by calling the customers by phone and asking them a bunch of questions and manually taking a note of their answers. For this the customers are divided into 3 categories:

· Recent drop offs: These are the customers who have taken services from the company and haven’t taken any service in the past 2-3 months.

· Royale(Premium) users: These are the customers who have opted for premium service offered by the company. The Royale users will get service from high rated professional compared to prime (another subscription plan, it is below Royale) users.

· High frequency users: These are the customers who take services at least 2-3 times in a month.

I have attached the survey questions for these users. The methodology should also include how we have arrived to these questions. These questions are straight forward. If you have any doubts regarding it, do contact me.

After collecting the survey, based on the survey results the plan is to modify or add new services to the Men’s grooming. It may also include re-training the professionals to improve customer satisfaction. Then launching a trial to check how the improved services are working. If the outcome of the trial is unsatisfactory then collect the survey with modified questions and based on it launch the trial. If the trial is satisfactory then launch the improved services for a wider range of customers.

The data from the survey is analysed manually, without any software aid. The trial will take account into what most of the customers need from the service.

For the results of the trial, we use the company’s software to analyse the number of customers requesting for a particular service and taking the service and their feedback on the app after taking the service. We will also compare the number customers taking the service before the trial and during the trial to estimate the response of the improved services.

The objectives of this thesis are:

· To attract new customers

· To attract regular customers to take more services

· To improve the quality of service/customer satisfaction

· To retain customers

The research that I am doing is a qualitative research. The methodology should good strategy that suits my research.

If possible please include the books real world research by Colin Robson, Kieran McCartan and Exploring strategy by Johnson Gerry as references

LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS PAPER

Theme: In writing this paper, you will get a little taste of the kind of systematic data collection that is the input for linguistic analysis. You will also use the tools and knowledge from the class and apply what you have learned to novel data, your own. The purpose of the paper is to get you to reflect on your own language(s) by taking a closer look at how you speak and comparing your native language with another language that you have some familiarity with. One of the languages will be YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE. The other language will be a language with which you have some personal experience. If your ability is weak in the second language, so much the better! It will make for a good comparison. The second language could be any of the following:
English, if you speak a language other than English as your first language.
A language that you have studied in school, even if only two years in high school.
A language in which you have some ability because of exposure to it through relatives who speak it, having lived where it was spoken, or any other circumstance.
Research: Your only sources of information should be your knowledge of the two languages you choose and the information you get in Linguistics 1 from lectures, the course textbook, and course readings. If you choose a language that you studied in school, you may want to consult your textbooks, but you do not need to do any library research.
Length and form: The paper should be 4-6 pages, double-spaced, and in 12-point type with 1 inch margins. You will not need a bibliography other than listing a language text(book) you may have consulted, as mentioned just above. Your paper is to be submitted through Turnitin on the CCLE course website. The course website will explain how to do this.

Outline of the Paper: Your paper must have the following sections (in underlined bold below):
Introduction: Describe your linguistic background as it relates to the paper. This should include information on the context of where you learned each language—at home, in school (including where you studied and the amount of time), living where the language is spoken, etc. If you learned one of the languages in school, say a little about how it was taught—little or much speaking of the language in class, little or much English used during class, little or much emphasis on good pronunciation, little or much emphasis on memorizing grammar rules, etc.
Non-Standard Language: Everyone speaks a dialect and most people use both formal and informal language, depending on the situation. In this section, identify 3 slang or informal words/phrases in your native language that you use and are currently in vogue at your university, in your clubs, among your friends and social circle, etc. For each word/phrase, (1) explain what it means, (2) when you would use it, (3) when you first heard the word/phrase.
Comparison of sounds: Select one point of comparison between sounds found in the two languages. Examples of such comparison might be:
The pronunciation of Spanish vowels, which are “pure” vowels, and English vowels, which tend to be “diphthongized” (compare the pronunciation of of the vowel in Spanish de ‘from’ with the pronunciation of the vowel in English day)
The presence of front rounded vowels in French, German, or Chinese and their absence in English
The presence of palatal fricatives in English (the sounds symbolized by the underlined letters in ash and azure) and their absence in Spanish
The presence of velar fricatives (“guttural sounds”) in German or Hebrew and their absence in English
The sound description need not be technical, but try to use terminology and concepts introduced during the lectures on Phonetics. You should (1) write the sounds using the INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET symbols as we did in class during the Phonetics module of the course, (2) provide an articulatory description of the sounds, and (3) give sample words. Include some comments comparing the languages, for example, noting what sounds you tend to substitute for the “hard” sounds of your non-native language.
Do not confuse the alphabet of the language with the sounds of the language. Two points will automatically be deducted for this error.
Comparison of grammar: Select one point of “grammar” for comparison. This could either be a point of:
Syntax, e.g. order of words in a sentence, order of elements in the NP, use of endings that mark words for whether they are subject or object, etc.
Word formation, e.g. inflection of verbs, marking words for gender agreement, formation of compound words, etc.
The grammar description need not be technical, but try to use terminology and concepts introduced during the lectures on Syntax and Morphology. Describe the way the two languages mark a comparable structure, e.g. how each language marks past tense, what the order of a noun and its modifiers are in each of the languages, etc. BE SURE TO INCLUDE EXAMPLES FROM BOTH LANGUAGES!
Acquisition: Compare the way you “think” in the two languages as related to the way you learned them and the contexts where you use them. For example:
You create utterances spontaneously in your native language because you learned it through the normal process of language acquisition, but you speak Spanish slowly and falteringly because you put sentences together using grammar rules you memorized in school.
You speak English with an accent and/or make grammatical errors in English because you learned it after the “critical age”, yet you find it easier to discuss technical subjects in English than in your “home” language because you use the latter only in everyday domestic contexts.
GIVE AT LEAST ONE CONCRETE EXAMPLE OF AN ERROR YOU HAVE MADE OR AN IDEA YOU HAVE HAD TROUBLE EXPRESSING IN YOUR NON-NATIVE LANGUAGE.

2) What critiques do you have of brief therapies?
3) Do you have a preferred modality?
I prefer solution focus, I will be comparing to CBT
4) How will brief therapies inform your future practice?
5) What is your clinical rationale for this decision?

Civic engagement letter and report Write a letter advocating for some change.

Write a letter advocating for some change. Take a stand on some issue that affects your community and write your appropriate public official asking them to do something about it. Be very specific about what you want them to do and why. Be sure to do your research for this so your representative will take you seriously. Consider finding some piece of legislation proposed or introduced but not yet passed into law and write in support of that. Or find some piece of legislation that is law and write demanding that it be changed or amended. People you might choose to write to include: your Congressperson in Washington DC, your State Assemblymember or Senator in Sacramento, your City Councilmember, your City’s mayor, or some other community official with the power to make the change you want to see.

The total length of what you submit for this assignment needs to be at least three pages (1-inch margins, 12-point font, and double-spaced). Keep in mind, 2.5 pages is not at least three pages. What you submit for this assignment will include the text of your actual letter plus a supplemental report that you won’t mail to your representative. Most public officials will already know a lot about the issue you’re writing about. You don’t need to tell them things they probably already know. So, your letter can be relatively short. But what you submit for this assignment should be directed to a general audience who might not know as much as your public official. Your supplemental report should explain the issue to a general audience. Submit both the letter and the report as a single document that’s at least a total of three pages in length (not 3 pages each), not including your Works Cited page, which you should also include. Use your best judgment regarding how much information you should include in the letter and how much you should include in the report, but it’s generally best to be succinct when writing public officials whose time is limited.
Your letter must present a clear argument, advocating for a specific solution to a clearly defined problematic issue. You’ll be asking your official to do something – to take some action – and you need to make it clear to them what you want them to do and why. And if you’re asking them to increase funding for some program, defend why limited public funds should be spent on your issue and not the countless others that might be worthy of the funds.
More details regarding the report: What you should include in the supplemental report depends on what you’re writing your letter about. You should do some research into the issue you’re writing about. Your research will tell you things that the recipient of your letter already knows, so you don’t need to include everything you’ve learned in your letter. But assume that the audience for your report is the audience of your peers who don’t know much about the issue you’re writing about. Use the report to bring them up to speed on the issue. In your report, you can consider including things like this:
How are you approaching the issue? An issue is a question, and the way we ask a question determines its range of possible answers. An ‘answer’ to an issue is a position about how it ought to be addressed. So, ‘how you’re approaching an issue’ means ‘how you’re asking the question’ means ‘how you’re defining the problem.’
Consider the history of the issue (how its definition has changed over time and how it has affected people historically).
Consider how the issue affects people – past, present, and future.
Consider the issue “from an intersectional approach” – that is, consider how it affects persons made uniquely vulnerable by societal power structures.
Upload your letter and report with a works cited page together as one Word doc or PDF file. (The works cited page does not count as one of the minimum three pages.)
What I’ll be looking for:
Is the issue adequately defined?
If you’re addressing a complex issue (like homelessness, for example), how have you addressed it manageably? (Tip: choose a specific issue that’s not too complex.)
If you’re addressing a complex issue, what specific aspect of the complex issue are you focusing on?
Are you addressing it from “an intersectional approach”? (not necessary, but a bonus!)
Is the matter addressed to the correct official (given where you live), at the proper level of government?
Is the request for action specific?
Does it advocate or oppose a specific piece of legislation, proposed or passed?
Or does it introduce a well-researched novel solution to an issue?
Is there a clear argument as to why your representative should do what you want them to do?
What is the likelihood that the representative will consider the request worthy of attention?
Is the letter well-written, articulate, and does it demonstrate consideration of all sides of the issue?
Is it clear you’ve “done your homework” on the issue?

C. Colaguori, “The Growing Tensions of Globalization and the Future of Human Rights”

How do I choose which of the many points in an article to summarize?
Take a look at the start of the reading and figure out what the author is saying in general. What does the title indicate? What are the main issues being discussed? This is easily determined usually because the author will use subsection titles to organize their article and these explain its content. Put the author’s thoughts and ideas into your own words as best you can and cite their work directly when you find a clear passage that you want to highlight. Quote directly if you feel the author gives a clear definition of an idea or concept. The point is for you to summarize the main ideas by trying to put them into your own words just as if you were explaining the article to someone else. It is a good idea to discuss how ideas in the article relate to other ideas or themes in our course.
There is no way that you can include all of the ideas and points from lengthy articles – you have to decide what to include based on what you feel is important or compelling or what makes the most sense to you. Pick main themes and key concepts and then some secondary information to explain further. Most of the readings themselves are already organized into subsections so you should also approach the readings one section at a time. You do not have to summarize every section of each reading – that will often be too much. When trying to decide if you should summarize a point being made ask yourself the following: Does this point seem central to what the article is about and does it make sense to me? Do I find it interesting enough to be able to re-tell in my own words? If you find that a section of an article is confusing or difficult for you to understand you can also state that and explain why.
You can read the material and do your summary at the same time or you can read through, take notes and then write up your summary. It is up to you to decide whether you want to focus on a few points and go into detail on them or focus on many points and give only light details about them.
You do not need a formal introduction or conclusion of any sort – simply begin by explaining what the article is about by describing the main concepts, concerns and main ideas. The point of the exercise is for you to demonstrate your comprehension of the course material, and not necessarily to critique it. No one is qualified to critique a point of view unless they have fully understood that point of view.
You can say what you feel is important or problematic or interesting in the texts you are summarizing and why you think this is so. This type of summary exercise gives you important critical academic skills insofar as it teaches you how to identify main ideas and extract such information from a scholarly article.

How To Write Reading Summaries For This Course:
Your primary task for the reading summaries are as follows:
a) You are to re-present the ideas in the readings back by explaining them in your own words or by citing the author directly. A combination of both is the best technique.
b) In addition to repeating the main ideas you are asked to add your own thoughts by discussing why you feel the ideas are interesting or important or how you feel they relate to issues in our society.
All good pieces of writing have a defined structure and clear organization and flow of ideas. Just like when you are telling a story to a friend you start at the beginning and then give details to explain further – good writing is the same way, it must flow logically, and begin with the same points that the author begins with. The text should be 12 point font single spaced with standard margins.
Cite the articles properly – do not plagiarize!
Begin the summary by stating in a sentence or two
– what the article is about,
– what the author is saying in general, and
– what issues are being discussed
Try to explain in your own words what the main ideas are. You can paraphrase and quote directly but be sure to cite properly or it is considered plagiarism!*
When you quote an article simply do the following: As Bales states, “modern slavery is characterized by…” (Robbins, 2005: 13). All of the bibliographic information you need for citations is contained in your course reading pack.
