Social Sci., 6 (1): 99-112, 2010 assumptions provides good support for the use of qualitative methods. To that end, some writers have argued that assumptions can be so deeply embedded that only a complex interactive process of joint inquiry between insiders and outsiders can bring them to the surface (Schein, 1984). Clearly this kind of interactive probing is essential for less visible manifestations of culture. Such observations led some to conclude that as the elements of culture become more…

Surveys can be anonymous and are good for addressing a large amount of people; checklists are similar but less personal and more technical. One to one is good for small groups and individuals but has the disadvantage where individuals may be reluctant to criticize openly. Websites are anonymous and good for large organisations. The manager needs to think about the aims and goals that need to be achieved from the feedback, whether it is a survey or one to one. The same rules can be applied to…

From the research I have carried out I discovered that American had a range of foods and traditions even though people may think that American cuisine is all about fast foods.

The job of HUAC was to hunt and expose guilty people of having relations or feelings for communists. The “witch hunt” of the 1950s…

The sequential process often results in product misalignment. Sequential process is a traditional approach where processes are done in stages or steps shown in the figure below. Product misalignment occurs when problems occur during the new product development (i.e. the manufacturing department cannot make what the engineering department specifies due to technology limitations.) The concurrent process shows a simultaneous development process where all functions of the marketing, engineering…

First, they should segregate the project to see what should be done step by step. In other words, to find out how many small tasks in the project. A better way is to divide the tasks according to the objectives. For example, to throw a party for the customers in a club, we need drinks, cakes and snacks. To provide enough cakes on time is one of the objectives, so there should be someone to make the cakes. To provide enough snacks is another objective, so there should be some people responsible…

Question two of the survey is, “Which ONE of the following candy bars did you enjoy recently?” The third question of the survey is, “Which ONE of the following candy bars do you have most often?” Both questions offered the following answers: A) Snickers, B) Twix, C) Heath, D) KitKat Bar, E) 3 Musketeers. Although this type of question produces a balanced controlled scale, the participators may have a different type of candy bar they enjoy often and more recently than the candy bars listed.…

As project manager success of the project should be the first and main priority however even though possible solutions to the problems have been given, Hodgkins did not appear to have used, or be likely to use any of them in order to resolve the current issues associated with the project. The Miller’s Dilemma Hodgkins states that there are effectively five different options available that…
