  2. Guidelines • Class attendance • Timely submission of assignments • Visit class website daily • All emails through class website or webster.edu • Assignments submitted within the website • Discussion forums available • More about class website on next page

  3. Student Learning Assessment The PROC 6000 Course will be assessed using Webster's Assessment Tool. This must be completed by each student prior to the end of the term and consists of an ungraded assessment of all 6000 courses ongoing within Webster during this academic year. The results are non-attributable; however, the entire assessment must be completed and submitted at the same time you submit the final written project prior to completion of this course. The Assessment will be uploaded into the Assessment Assignment Area. We will discuss it further during our class sessions.

  4. WEBSTER UNIVERSITY INTEGRATED STUDIES RESEARCH GOALS ARE: • STUDENTS SHOULD ACQUIRE AN APPRECIATION OF APPLIED RESEARCH AS A METHODOLOGY • STUDENTS SHOULD GAIN EXPERIENCE WITH APPLIED RESEARCH • STUDENTS SHOULD DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF APPLIED RESEARCH IN THEIR FIELD SO THEY CAN SOLVE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS.

  6. APPLIED RESEARCH COMPONENTS

  7. APPLIED RESEARCH • Aims to develop recommendations on management problems • Based upon an actual situation analysis • Develop a premise to focus research • Uses primary/secondary research to resolve business problems • Does not seek to discover new theory

  8. SECONDARY RESEARCH (DEVELOP MODEL) • Libraries (http://libguides.webster.edu/Procurement) • Government • Trade Associations • Private Firms • Existing Case Studies • Historical Research • Case Studies • Internet

  9. PRIMARY RESEARCH (VALIDATE MODEL) • Descriptive Survey • Historical Survey • Quantitative Study • Experimental Study • Empirical Analysis

  10. DEVELOPING A SITUATION ANALYSIS AND PREMISE • Situation Analysis – analysis of a given situation is usually a situation that warrants a change. Use your own knowledge and experience plus secondary research to develop your analysis. • Premise – a statement used in applied research stating what is expected to be found in the research, or what will result after the prescribed action is taken.

  11. More about the Premise • Source of Premise • Lectures and reading in courses • Exploratory reading on a particular topic • Practical, on the job, problem awareness • Reading specifics prior research • Prior research experience • Narrow the premise •  Clarify the premise •  State the premise precisely

  12. PRIMARY RESEARCH METHODOLOGY • QUALITATIVE – SUBJECTIVE • HISTORICAL – SURVEY • QUANTITATIVE – STATISTICAL/EXPERIMENTAL • EMPIRICAL - OBSERVATION
