Describe two research methods used in sociology.

Two popular research methods adapted to be used in sociology are classified as quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative research methodology encompasses collecting numerical data to analyse a phenomenon. It also involves interpreting findings through statistical applications. The foundations of quantitative research design/methods emerge from the philosophical premises of realism; subjectivism and paradigm wars. From a sociological, perspective quantitative research methods focus on a systemic empirical approach in its investigation of social issues (Hunter & Leahey, 2008).

Qualitative research method investigates the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of a phenomenon without utilizing any mathematical tools. In this sense it is considered the inversion of quantitative research ...

Over the last three decades, the role of IT in business has drastically changed. Initially, IT was meant to assists in the day to day operation of the company such as keeping records and controlling inflow and outflow. However, the need has changed. Today, most business entities focus their energy on making IT an entity that not only serves customer-related services but also influences decision making processes within the company (Baltzan, 2012). The level of investment that has been directed on IT infrastructure in the last three decades calls for increased value-addition mechanisms from the IT sector.

Abstract

The mean for Z scoresare of better advantage when it comes to portraying the proportions under the curve. This is because they extend over to the decimals as a way of dealing with multiple data with varying values(Kamphaus 2005). The massive data is broken down resulting to compressed outcomes. As z scores are denoted in decimals, they can be converted to percentages to simply the data in a clarified manner. Z-scores thusbring out away of organizing data, to enhance better results and simplified facts,that there can be comparisons to bring out the variations between the multiple things.However, the fact ...

1. Explain the main differences between absorption and contribution income statements. Will net income always be the same under the two approaches? If not, explain the difference.

An absorption costing income statement is created for stakeholders apart from the company’s own employees and internal management. This method ensures that all overhead costs are included in the inventory of the company. In other words, all costs that are directly linked to manufacturing including; labor and material are added to the inventory. Consequently, the cost of manufacturing is transferred from the inventory costs to ...

Of all wars to have been conducted by the USA, the war on drugs is the least promising, with government and law enforcement agencies fighting it in a losing battle. When American authorities got it going some 4 decades ago, it was doomed to be a losing war for a number of reasons, of which one is a historic precedent never taken into consideration. It is well-documented that the only lesson we ever learn from history is that we do not learn any lessons from it at all. However, what America should learn is that conventional tools of mandatory bans and restrictions imposed ...

Describe the similarities and differences between conducting insider and outsider Action Research.

Weather a research is an insider or outsider Action research is based on the relationship between the researcher and the system/setting/community under study. However, both insider and outsider AR are aimed at achieving positive change/action and are participatory in nature. In other words, in both cases the community must participate in every step of the study in order for the action to be affective in solving the identified problem.

The differences between conducting an insider and outsider AR are based on the merits and demerits of either approach as well as what is valued by either the outsider or ...

- Analysis of the Case The case of Kmart is shocking and an eye opener too, with regard to the state of an organization that brings doom to itself.

Personal reflection on chapters 8&9

In a reflection of this chapter, I found methods of collecting data during research as one of the interesting points. In particular, the observation method of data collection intrigued me. Observation is a method that incorporates going into the research field such as a factory if the target study population is workers, or in a supermarket if the study population is made up of consumers, observing and recording what the targeted population is doing and documenting it appropriately into usable research information. Observation methods are best suited in the collection of data into non-self-reporting, which implies that the data is collected by the ...

Introduction

In general, every firm possesses a specific market structure, which is mainly determined by the number of buyers, number of sellers, ease of entry or exit, and the degree of product differentiation (Arnold, 2010). The underlying determinants give rise to four types of market structures. These include perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly.

The short-run and long-run equilibrium for firms in a perfect competition industry is considerably different. Both short-run and long-run revenue data for a wheat farmer have been shown in table 1 and table 2 respectively.

In the long-run, it is assumed that the entry of new ...

Insider action research faces several challenges associated with the political dynamics of the researcher being a member of the system/community/organization he is researching. The political dynamics, if not well managed, have the potential to undermine the research endeavors and impede the planned change (Coghlan, 2007). The main challenge is the challenge of the validity of the data because the inside researcher is suspected to be biased, emotionally attached to the system/organization under study and thus what constitutes valid data is intensely contested and politicized. Other challenges include gaining access to data, using data, publishing and disseminating the results. In addition, ...

The point that fascinated me the most is, the use of scales is to present information numerically to facilitate the interpretation of data either as analysis, or in presenting the findings of research. The purpose is though apparently very simple but the real part depends on the type of scale chosen to represent it. Nominal, ordinal, interval and the ration, these four types of scales are the real storyteller that how the data will be selected and interpreted. All these kinds of scales are different in strength, weakness, and ...

Over all the chapter number, 14 was very interesting and relatively easy to understand than other chapters. It was because of some easy concepts such as mean and variation that we had learnt many times before this, as well. However, the most interesting concept among all the topics discussed in the chapter was about editing the collected data before analyzing it. This was a short topic but still attracted my attention the most. Perhaps, the reason behind this was I felt this was one ...

Question 1

Comparative politics is a science that seeks to analyze or measure the level goodness, or otherwise, of a government regime. It systematically analyzes the nature of these governing authorities through comparison with other regimes that exist in the world. This means that the science seeks to highlight the patterns, similarities and differences among various regimes. However, this field of study is not purely a science; or rather, it is difficult to classify it as science due to several reasons. First, a science requires the carrying out of experimental research to determine the authenticity of preset hypotheses. Comparative politics involves parameters that are difficult ...

Both Bridges and Switches work on the data link layer of the OSI Model. However, switches are more advanced. Discuss how a switch has an advantage over a bridge in a network then elaborate more on the technology implemented in switches to control broadcast domains A bridge is a two interfaces device that creates two collision domains. This is because it forwards the traffic received from one interface only to the interface where layer two devices is connected (Olenewa, 2014).
