While there is no guarantee of getting caught, plagiarists ultimately hurt themselves by not learning to write skillfully or think independently. Question 3: Which of the following strategies is helpful for avoiding plagiarism? a.
1. How would you define “Frozen Preferences” and what is the impact of this concept on strategy formulation, alternative analysis and recommendation? • Managers don’t like to make major strategic changes once decisions have been made (except in the case of overwhelming evidence) as they will look unprepared and ineffective and their creditability is damaged • Frozen preferences o Management has made a decision and over time analysis shows that their decision may not be the best choice o However they feel compelled to maintain their current strategy even if it is not the best course of action. • As management preferences becomes a larger part of the organization (personnel changes, budgets etc), it becomes more and more difficult to change direction. o A tendency to avoid reversing changes even if it was not the best choice o In reality, past expenditures are sunk costs and the organization should use a clean slate to look at new choices, but to the manager, this will come at great personal loss.
The conflicts raised by this case are typical from projects that are not closely monitored, resulting in a lack of overall control of tasks. Better reading and quicker response would probably avoid the failure of the partnership. Improvement in the organizational side is needed in order to embrace new technologies, as well as the leadership behavior of the project manager. Negotiation and development of new agreements on how to handle future conflicts, re-evaluation of the tasks required, tracking process on a daily basis and scheduling overtime could help to put the project back in time. A clearly defined escalation process, rethink the tasks allocation to future milestones and co-locating teams with similar activities would help the project
Would changes of outline been made? A few practices examined inside Chapter 1 were exemplified all through this case, for example, groupthink, dissemination of obligation, spectator unresponsiveness, speculation toward oneself, still, small voice and good judgment. The substitution configuration was impractical to finish for the timetable of conveyance that was guaranteed to clients. Since Lawson brought the issue to Warren's consideration, he denied the outline being the reasonable justification. Once Lawson went to Sink, it place him in a troublesome position.
Esiah Stone 1. The Fundamental Attribution Error says that, “we tend to overestimate the role of our own personal factors and to over look the impact of situations.” (DeNeui, D. 2009, class lecture.) This helps us to explain the difference in the prediction versus what actually happened by overlooking the danger at hand and carrying out the task at hand by negating what is at stake. In a nut shell, the difference is how people would predict the obvious answer that he/she would never knowingly harm another person, so how could he/she go all the way, but when a person is “ordered” to do something they will blindly does it. 2.
In the rant called “The Smart Gap,” Eric Maisel explains his personal opinion on brain power of individuals. Grit, however, isn’t something that he believes will help people find success. Although some may not agree with what was stated, Maisel brings up many persuaded key points to help get his point across. Throughout Eric Maisel’s rant, many key points are brought up. First, he explains that we will experience emotional pain when we recognize that the work we would love to do might just be unavailable enough to make us doubt that we can proceed.
If PMR was attempted without any kind of background research on the client the outcome would most likely be unsuccessful or contrived. The knowledge gained from such a tool is key even if this was achieved in the therapists head and not filled out on paper. Obviously the more skilled the therapist the faster such an evaluation can take place, not to understate the importence of taking the time to attain the information from the client verbal. Once this information is

Quantitative Versus Qualitative Essay Eva Hutchens Texas A&M University – Central Texas Quantitative Versus Qualitative Essay When conducting research using a quantitative method the author will identify a research problem based on current trends in a particular field of study. Researching a trend usually implies that the author will conduct a study to find out an overall tendency in people and how those tendencies vary among individuals. Also, in some quantitative studies it may be needed that the researcher explains how one variable affects another variable (Creswell, 2012, p.13). When using a qualitative approach to research it is usually because the variables are not known and there is a need to explore the research problem further. The qualitative research seeks to explore a problem and develop a thorough understanding of the central research problem (Creswell, 2012, p. 16).
