An examination of security perception of Airasia: A comparison between customers and employees.

**38 pages should ONLY include:
1.research analysis/findings,
2.discussion of findings
3.conclusion

*Introduction and literature review have already done and will be upload
*Survey questionnaire for research analysis and feedbacks between customers and employees will also be upload
*SPSS/excel tool should be used to analysis in the research analysis then discuss about it

 
The lectures and seminars will help you to appreciate the different data collection and data analysis methods available to researchers. In class, we will explore a range of research methods that can be used to gather data (we call this the primary data). Seminar activities will provide opportunities for hands-on experience of how to construct appropriate research instruments like interviews and questionnaire surveys, and how to use them to obtain reliable data. You will also be shown a range of qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques, how to apply them and how to present relevant findings: essential preparation and practice for assessment 2.
For the assessment, you will be given sets of data relating to your research topic that has been gathered for you using research instruments developed in class. The type of data will depend on the topic but it is likely to be interview transcripts and survey data. You will then use the data collecting instrument (the interview questions or the survey, for example) to gather additional data yourself.
The Results and Discussion report will be divided into the following sections:
 Introduction
 Discussion of the data
4-6 themes that you identify from the primary data and then discuss one at a time
For each theme you will look for similarities and differences in the primary data
You will also compare/contrast the primary data with the data from your literature review
 Summary of key findings  Appendix
Examples of the raw data collected and evidence of the analysis used
As part of the discussion, you may wish to present some of your results in tables, graphs or other diagrammatic formats. These will not be included in the word count but they should be used sparingly i.e. the number and quality should be directly relevant and appropriate to the topic.

Submit a comprehensive literature review presenting an analysis* of current expert thought on a question of your choice exploring a contemporary health issue. It should be either an article that could be sent to a health journal for possible publication, or an edited draft of the literature review chapter of a research thesis.
*This means you must provide your own analyses and syntheses of the literature. This task requires more than the summaries of individual articles. If you are unclear about this instruction, go back to the relevant learning materials in the unit and revise.
Marking/Assessment criteria for Assignment 2
Criteria Example of application Weighting
Structure:

Comments:
Ola you seem confused as to the requirements of this assignment

You are required to investigate a research question using a review of the published literature. You have given a clear outline of a research question that is appropriate and relevant for a literature review. However yu then go on to outline factors that you would need to consider for a research or clinical trial. You are not doing a clinical trial so this is not relevant to this assignment.

Please contact Yoni so she can give you more detailed feedback on this assignment and the requirements for assignment 2

Ola, I support Gina’s feedback and grade to you on this assignment. My advice is that you focus on the clinical research question you set up, and use the PICO framework to produce your literature review, so that at the end of the day you are able to make some clear recommendations for practice and patient education. So as you prepare for you final assignment, remember to follow the guidelines in the unit, stay focused on your research question. It is always a good idea to print it off in large print so you can see and keep in mind what you are writing to. I also suggest you have a good look at the Evidence based nursing journals for some guidance on how authors work the literature to answer clinical questions.
go well with your final assignment, we look forward to seeing you integrate this feedback. It is possible to make up the ground, as you think and write well. But focus is your challenge.

 
it’s a group assignment, so my part is (3 work specialisation by project and function, and 4 the need to manage the existing business as well as the need to develop innovations (i.e. ambi-dexterity).)
So just write max 2000 words on my part, don’t worry about introduction and conclusion, look the Assignment Criteria, please use of diagram to discuss about 200 words, like make a structure relationship diagram and discuss it

• ResearchData to Writer_WebQuest Weekly Evaluation Data
o Each week following the WebQuest lesson the students were asked to evaluate the lessons, this attachment contains the results of their evaluation.

Sadly for me, I FAILED!!!!
I was in a terrible emotional place at that time and could not face the re-write, I was scared and very upset with your company. As I paid a lot of money. Then I became very ill and could do nothing. Then in June of 2015, I contacted customer support to ask for the re-write, the refused and so I have to pay again.
The MARKER final comment was: This dissertation was read and discussed by two markers, and the mark was agreed. Comments from both markers are included above. In view of the evidently significant amount of work represented by this dissertation, and the evident commitment to the project, we recognize the mark and some of the above comments will come as a significant disappointment. However, we are confident that, with tutor support, necessary improvements can be made and a successful dissertation can be resubmitted. A detailed tutorial will be very important in this process.
Still I had to wait till have money to get a rewrite from your company Or I will lose the money I pay for my degree till now, and no way to make another submission. I confirm with the university that my final date for submission is 31 January 2016 – so please pay careful attention to this.
Part 3
In addition to all the documents attached I will be attaching the following (note: all underlined items indicate the file name uploaded):
1. Doe_John_Dissertation
a. The final submission I made in September 2014
2. Writer – Last Version
a. The last version I received from the writer, which the writer wrote. When matching that to my submission version, you will not that I reworked it significantly as the writer was not grasping my request and I was running out of time.
3. John Doe_Module Assessment Feedback Form
a. This was my mark I received for the submission, the comments from the TWO markers and their suggestions/comments indicative of the weak areas and areas of strength.
• The tutor specifically adviced me to remove and delete all sections/references, etc. of Big6 – kindly do this.
• I indicated that this is an Action Research project, however the tutors seem to think that it could be better re-framed as a case study, let me know your thoughts on this.

I look forward to reading the paper, kindly let me know if there is anything unclear, if more information is required, or background, etc.

 
Mergers and Acquisitions LAW RESEARCH ESSAY
What: An M&A law research essay
Length: 4,000 words
Topic: One of Fifteen Topics (see below)
Referencing: Australian legal citation (see attached)
Plagiarism: NEVER (I have caught the last writer literally paraphrasing the whole essay off the web and got him sanctioned and 50% of my money back)

Task:
The students will undertake a research essay that pursues in-depth, an aspect of the subject through sustained research, reflection and writing 4,000 words.

The students will have a choice of fifteen essay topics, mainly Australia-focused (see below). The 4,000 word count includes all discursive text, such as any textual discussion in footnotes, but not citation information in the bibliography or footnotes. Students may exceed the word limit by ten per cent without penalty.

Questions:
You are required to choose one of the following fifteen questions for the essay. Please be aware that, since these essays are Australian-focused, you are strongly encouraged to use and work around Australian sources including high quality secondary sources (journal articles, reports, regulatory guidance) and primary sources (cases and legislation). Please keep online newsletters, law firm commentaries, blog posts etc to a minimum:

1. Is s 444GA (which provides for the power to compulsorily acquire shares during a deed of company arrangement) consistent with the scheme of takeover regulation in Ch 6 of the Corporations Act? Is this appropriate and why?

2. To what extent does a takeover bidder need to demonstrate certainty of funding arrangements? Is the Panel’s guidance on this issue clear, consistent and commercially appropriate?

3. Should s 411(17) be repealed or reformed? Critically examine the arguments for and against such reform.

4. Critically evaluate the challenges arising from a takeover or a scheme involving stapled securities. Does the current law need reform?

5. Is the current law regarding underwritten rights issues as an exception to the takeover prohibition in s 611 commercially fair and appropriate? Does the current law need reform?

6. What challenges does the use of equity derivatives pose for takeover regulation in Australia? Does the current law need reform

7. To what extent can target boards legitimately frustrate an announced or proposed takeover?

8. Critically evaluate the concept of class voting in schemes of arrangement. Is this requirement necessary and commercially appropriate?

9. When could a scheme proposal be refused on the basis of commercial morality?

10. Should Australia introduce a mandatory bid rule for Ch 6 takeovers?

11. Should the ‘truth in takeovers’ policy be revised or removed? Does this adversely affect appropriate commercial outcomes in takeover bids?

12. Should Australia’s foreign investment rules related to takeovers be reformed? You may wish to undertake a comparative analysis with the foreign investment laws of another country.

13. Should a target board be allowed to enter into commercial arrangements (such as joint ventures, business licensing or asset spin offs) after being approached by a potential bidder? Consider panel guidance and case law on this issue.

14. Does the law require shareholders in a bidder that is undertaking a reverse takeover be required to vote on the bid proposal? Should this area be reformed?

15. Critically evaluate this statement:

Should shareholder activists that are pushing for influence over the management of a company (such as by pushing for board representation) may obtain the benefit of control without paying a takeover premium and therefore should be required to launch a takeover bid.

Some personal guidelines for the preparation of research essays:

The purpose of a research essay: A research essay gives you the opportunity to show your research skills on your selected topic. You should display your ability to find, read, consider and analyse the researched materials, and express your reasoned views. A research essay is more than a mere narrative of the materials. Marks are awarded on the process of legal reasoning rather than the conclusion reached, although obvious errors in reasoning to that conclusion will lose marks. In other words, your arguments/views/analysis are important provided they are properly argued and supported. Fundamental to success is a properly organised and structured essay. A cogent structure can take several forms, but a suggested structure is set out below.

Organisation and Structure – A research essay has five broad parts:

1. Introduction: An introduction should be a succinct summary of the essay. Introductions should be 400-600 words in length. The marker should, after reading the introduction, have a clear understanding of the topic and a broad overview of the problems/issues and the student’s methodology used to address those problems/ issues.

2. Background: Depending on the topic, setting out relevant background may be necessary, for example, defining key terms or concepts, identifying and briefly discussing relevant law or industry practice or government policy, identifying and summarizing published materials in the area, etc.
Discuss what is significant, necessary and relevant to your analysis. Avoid irrelevancies.

3. Identify the problems/issues: Clearly set out and discuss the problems and issues identified. The use of subheadings for each distinct problem is useful.

4. Resolving the problems/issues; methodology: Having identified the problems/issues you should identify the methodology used to analyse/discuss/consider/resolve the problems/issues. In Parts 3 and 4 (the key components of any essay) an examiner will look for various features including: your arguments; identifying and critically discussing other published works in the area; identifying the significant and important problems/issues; consistency and logical development of argument; consideration of the concepts applicable to solving the problem; original research/ideas; how you use existing knowledge and relate that to new knowledge; the application of theoretical ideas to industry practice; critical evaluation of existing case law (where relevant); etc.

Evaluation Criteria

The essays will be marked according to:
– addressing the question with relevant and high quality legal authorities evidence of high quality research beyond the prescribed readings
– detailed use of primary authorities (legislation and cases)
– critical analysis of the question
– clarity of writing and structure and
– appropriate and consistent referencing using the Australian Guide to Legal Citation

 
Research paper
Based on the Department of Defense (DOD) Operation INHERENT RESOLVE (OIR):
Briefly describe the greatest challenge to coalition success in this operation. Then, thoroughly explain how that challenge could be overcome through the lens of ONE of the following joint functions (Command and Control, Intelligence, Fires, Movement and Maneuver, Protection and Sustainment). Fully support and defend your answer using logic and citations of supporting material where appropriate (course material, doctrine, outside sources).
To be successful in this assignment, you must display critical thinking as you analyze specific joint elements surrounding OIR.

The paper must: include a Cover Page, Abstract (with 200 words), the Paper, & Endnotes as a single file,
•answer the question.
•display critical thinking through analysis and logical argument.
•display accurate understanding of joint topics.
•be well written throughout – grammar, organization, presentation.
•be a 1200 (+/- 50) word paper – does not include Cover Page, Abstract, or Endnotes.
•have 1-inch margins on all sides.
•be in Times New Roman 12pt font for all text except Endnotes which may be 10pt.
•be double-spaced except for Endnotes
The abstract is an important part of the paper. For this assignment an Informative Abstract (Informative abstract explains information in a larger work and includes results, conclusions and recommendations) is the most appropriate form to use. Your abstract should address:
•Motivation or Problem – establish why your paper is important and worthy of being read.
•Method of Analysis – explain the approach you took to fully analyze the topic.
•Findings or Results – describe what was learned through your analysis.
•Implications or Conclusions – provide any implications or conclusions that resulted from your analysis.
•be 200 words (+/- 50 words).

Discussion

How two things are related or the degree to which they are related is often a question in any area of research, including forensic psychology research. A researcher might ask these questions: To what degree are drug use and criminal recidivism related? Are mental illness and violence related? To what degree is an increase in police patrols related to a decrease in crime rates?

Each of these forensic psychology research questions can be addressed using a correlational design. Correlational designs help determine if there is a relationship between variables. The relationship may be positive, meaning there is a positive linear relationship between the two variables; the relationship may be negative, which means there is a weak or nonexistent linear relationship between the two variables; or, the relationship may be curvilinear, which means that at times there appears to be a relationship and at times there does not.
To prepare for this Discussion:
�
� Review Chapter 9 in your course text, Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences. Pay attention to the descriptions and examples of linear and nonlinear relationships, positive and negative linear relationships, and curvilinear relationships.
�
� Consider how these relationships are determined and what impact each type of relationship may have on a researcher�s ability to make predictions.
�
� Using the Walden Library, select and review two or three articles on criminal recidivism, violent crime, or domestic violence in which the variables have positive and negative linear relationships.
�
� Consider the implications if the variables had a curvilinear relationship instead.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a description of two variables that have a positive linear relationship and two variables that have a negative linear relationship in the research articles you reviewed. Then, explain the implications on the studies if each of those variables had a curvilinear relationship instead.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

The articles that I have selected are as follows:
Would Banning Firearms Reduce Murder And Suicide?

Domestic Violence: the hidden epidemic associated with mental illness.
