Describe data-collection strategies, research procedures, and approaches for conducting and reporting research.

To prepare for this assessment, ensure that you have finalized your abstracted outline. Make sure to complete the media, which will deepen your understanding. Complete a draft of your literature review and additional empirical research sources if you found more. Remember, you’ll need at least 20 empirical sources in the final version of the literature review.

Introduction

The purpose of the literature review is to provide the context within which the project will be developed and framed. The process of finding, reviewing, synthesizing, analyzing, and writing the literature review provides greater definition to the theoretical framework and gives you a strong foundation from which to work when developing support for the research concept.

You will continue developing your literature review, integrating and synthesizing the information gleaned as you developed your research topic, your LSQ, your annotated bibliography, and your abstracted outline.

In this assessment, you will focus on developing brief, carefully constructed paragraphs supported by the literature and research. You will research and present key findings of your literature review that you may not have addressed or that may need further development. Plan to build upon what you have already presented.

Overview

In addition to the other helpful links provided in Resources, we recommend you use an organizing tool from the Capella University Library Services and Tools page, such as the Scholarly Research Log, to help you track the theories, methods, and findings of the articles you have read.

Instructions

For this assessment, submit the current draft of your literature review for instructor feedback and grading. Using your literature search question (LSQ), the annotated bibliography, and the abstracted outline to support your review, identify themes that emerge from your analysis of what we know so far about your topic. Use these themes to describe how your research builds on prior knowledge.

For instance, if your LSQ is What does the literature in psychology tell us about the utility of treating mild depression in adults with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous labyrinth walking and cognitive behavioral therapy? you might discuss literature that covers the themes of exercise and depression, cognitive behavioral therapy and depression, walking meditation and depression, mindfulness and depression, and so on. Do not organize the paper by referencing each article sequentially; your task is to synthesize concepts pertinent to the LSQ from the articles selected for this review.

  • Identify literature that:
    • Describes the chosen area of research and provides rationale for the choice.
    • Describes the significance of the chosen topic:
      • Explain and justify the implications of the new knowledge for stakeholders, including community members and those who serve the population.
  • Summarize sources applicable to the history of the chosen topic:
    • Discuss historical context and dominant themes in the evolution of the topic; connect common themes and present counteropinions.
    • Consider theory in light of seminal works by theorists such as Urie Bronfenbrenner, Sigmund Freud, B.F. Skinner, Carol Gilligan, Jean Piaget, Erving Goffman, and Clark Moustakas.
  • Summarize sources applicable to the theoretical background of the chosen topic:
    • Provide information about theoretical underpinnings such as empirical/behavioral or constructivist and humanistic orientations of the literature reviewed.
    • Consider theory in light of seminal works by theorists such as Urie Bronfenbrenner, Sigmund Freud, B.F. Skinner, Carol Gilligan, Jean Piaget, Erving Goffman, Clark Moustakas, Martha Bernal, and George I. Sanchez.
  • Summarize sources applicable to best practices for engaging in research:
    • Describe data-collection strategies, research procedures, and approaches for conducting and reporting research.
  • Summarize sources that add significance and relevance to the knowledge base of psychology:
    • Indicate how the chosen sources help investigators identify topics that are well understood and other topics that represent gaps in the knowledge base and the need for further study.
    • Create a scenario that illustrates the need for new research.
  • Articulate guidelines of the profession applicable to ethical conduct in research practice:
    • Demonstrate ethical conduct associated with the protection of research subject vulnerabilities such as the need for data privacy.
  • Identify practices and research guidelines that address respect for individual differences and diversity:
    • Address individual variation and diversity within and across groups. For example, when writing about marriage and family therapy, acknowledge research choices that exclude or include subgroups such as gay and lesbian families or families of particular racial, ethnic, or cultural compositions.
  • Adhere to APA style and formatting guidelines, including concise and well-organized writing:
    • Organize paper to enhance the message and supporting points; writing should reflect the quality and expertise expected for academic work.
    • Organize and summarize sources thematically.

Your task is to present current considerations important to investigators and to indicate ramifications for stakeholders who rely on the current knowledge base. Use illustrative examples to explain and highlight key concepts. Good reviewers share evidence-based assessments of the current state of knowledge with their audiences.

This assessment is one component of the research concept paper. You are expected to refine this literature review before submitting the final project. Use the research concept paper template to complete the literature review. There are additional details in the template to help guide the completion of this assessment.

Additional Requirements

  • Formatting: Use the Research Concept Paper Template [DOCX] to complete your assessment. It has been created to reflect the proper structure. To avoid missing content and losing points, please do not modify the template.
  • Font: New Times Roman, 12 points, double-spaced, or any other font that complies with current APA guidelines.
  • APA: Use APA format and style throughout, including citations.
  • Length: The literature review draft assessment should be 5–6 pages, not including references.

Critically evaluate your teaching practice and identify measures to enhance this, supporting your answer with evidence from educational literature

Topic:

(a) Discuss your personal epistemology (epistemic cognition) and how this has influenced your teaching practice (30%); (b) Critically evaluate your teaching practice and identify measures to enhance this, supporting your answer with evidence from educational literature (70%).

1- Critically reflect on and evaluate your teaching practice and identify measures to enhance this expect to you to use about 30% of the words to answer part A about 70% of the words to answer part B roughly that’s what that means and, in part, A you have to discuss your personal epistemology and how this has influenced your teaching, practice so for the Professor part discussing your personal epistemology, and then how its influence your teaching, practice, And Part B, we want you to critically evaluate your teaching, practice so that means kind of describe how you teach. and give any strengths and give any limitations or weaknesses or areas you want to improve so find the strengths and areas for improvement of your own teaching, practice. So that’s kind of evaluating it and then the second part is important as well, identify measures to enhance this so don’t just say, I would like to be more student centered, for example but say how you will be more student centered. What is important is that you have to critique your current practice in Part B. and use literature, to support to why it strong or weak so kind of describe your practice and then say what you think is strong what you think is not so strong and then use literature, to support that so you know, to give. evidence that yes, doing this is good for education or doing this isn’t great you kind of use evidence to back it up. And for the second part of that be identify measures to enhance this so give some really concrete examples of what you can do to enhance it so again, for example, if you’re going to say. You want to be more student centered don’t just say you want to be more student centered say exactly what you will do in your particular teaching to achieve that, and again if you use literature, to support this and that and what interventions, you will do so. Then, that will be even better and basically what we’re looking for and Part B is we’re looking for you to to. To develop evidence based teaching, practice, and so in all your clinical rules i’m sure you use evidence based. # you can use any number for resources to support the topic

Executive Summary
PESTLE analysis and conclusions

Do NOT simply provide a generic list – this is an industry analysis, not an organizational one! Provide evidence and detail – look at examples of good practice. You should not analyse the company you have been given – it is about the whole industry. You can conclude and explain which elements impact the company at the end.

Remember: you must evidence all the points you list, footnotes should only provide the references of you data – the data should go in the main body of the report.

Good sources: company annual reports and good newspapers, economist, data web sites (showing trends), euromonitor.

 

Porter’s 5 forces analysis and conclusions, attractiveness of industry and highlight the strongest force

This analysis should be based on your SBU chosen from your list of SBUs in your intro. Make sure you clearly state which SBU you will analyse before you start this section. Apply the analysis to this SBU and make sure that you provide a conclusion for each force whether it is a weak, medium or strong force.   Conclude this section by answering ‘Is this an attractive market for existing players to remain in?’

Remember: this is not about the company it is about the SBU you choose or are told to do. Once again data to support your points is vital.

Good sources: Company annual reports, Google Finance and good quality newspapers, regulations sites and data web sites (showing trends), apps on Android or iOS

 

Markets and Critical success factors (CSF)this should be based on your chosen SBU or the one you are told to do.

Markets – what future predictions are there for your chosen SBU and the industry? On the internet there are many prediction produced by analysts. You are asked for two lists 1) the industry predictions and 2) the SBU predictions – four predictions in each list. Remember you must include data and they MUST be FUTURE predictions – not information for this year.

 

CSFs – what do the customers demand from companies competing in this SBU?

Good sources: look online at the top accounting companies like E&Y, PWC and KPMG etc…. they have good industry reports and you do not need to pay, the free information they provide is enough. Also look for industry specific regulators and euromonitor.

Opportunities and threats (O&T) – prioritized and identified main.

List 5 in each section, i.e. 5 opportunities and 5 threats.

Remember: each item listed has come from your own external analysis PESTLE, five forces, markets and CSFs. It is good practice to show where each one has come from – using footnotes and once again you could add the page number of where it has come from.

Good sources: your own external analysis – nothing else!

 
The strategic position of the organisation (at the end of case) :

a)     Description of strategy/-ies adopted to date.

b)    Discussion of the key issues relating to the future of the company including conclusions whether the organization, its strategies and business model are strongly or weakly positioned to deal with these issues.

 

To achieve this:

i)               Explain where the SBU or the analysed company is located on Bowman’s strategic clock.

ii)             Explain what strategies they employ by using the Ansoff matrix and its terminology to help you.

iii)            Explain how they execute these strategies.

iv)            Determine what parental role top management takes –portfolio, synergy or developer?

v)             What international strategies does the company use?

vi)            Is the BCG Matrix useful?

 

 
A narrative discussion of the likelihood of success/failure of the organisations current strategies. Are they in a good position to face the future?
Identification of 2 possible new future strategies or ‘strategic directions’. One for the SBU and the other for the whole corporation – so 2 in total.

Use the Ansoff matrix again to help you identify what type of strategy it is. Explain how, where and what you will do to achieve it – don’t just list generic items. The language you use is very important here and throughout your report. Also use your strengths and weaknesses section and your opportunities and threats section. Does your strategy take advantage of a strength of yours or an opportunity you identified in the market? Or maybe it eliminates a weakness or a threat?

FULL description of recommended strategies– this is where you really sell your strategies. Use your future market predictions to help you. We would expect a good half a page for this.

Remember: use your market predictions to help you sell the winning strategy.

 

Discussion on the feasibility and acceptability of recommended strategies.
– Selection of winning strategy

– Key issues in implementing the strategy

– Risk assessment and risk management

Make sure you use the correct “risk terminology” in this section, refer to your lecture notes.

Analyse the external factors that drive the need for Leadership and Management within the organisation.

 

Task 1 must be submitted as a PowerPoint presentation slide deck file, with the majority of the narrative in the notes section under each slide. Slides should be used for visuals and brief bullet points. Add the AC# to each slide.

 

 

AC1.1 Analyse the external factors that drive the need for Leadership and Management within the organisation. (Approximately 425 words)

KEY FOCUS AREA. In today’s world, Managers and Leaders are dealing with changing workplaces, a changing workforce, changing technology, global uncertainties, and COVID-19. What is emerging is the need for a new model of responsible Leadership and Management. Focused on agility, focused on people (employees) and finding the balance between ‘creating value’ and honouring organisational and societies’ values.
§  Provide a brief explanation of the importance of leadership and management within modern day organisations

§  Identify a minimum of 3 key external factors that are shaping the leadership and management priorities within organisations. You could use PESTLE to cover this.

§  For each external factor analyse how it drives leadership and management within the organisation

AC1.2 Explain the key differences between leadership and management roles and styles and the implications of each for organisational effectiveness. (Approximately 425 words)

KEY FOCUS AREA. Is a good manager automatically a good leader and vice versa? The differences between the roles are becoming more blurred. However, it is important that HR understands the differences (and similarities) not only because of recruitment decisions but also competencies, promotions, rewards, and development. The main difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have people follow them while managers have people who work for them.
Use of a table with explanatory narrative would be useful here or two clear sub-headings /sections. You should draw on known models in this task.

§  Identify and briefly explain a minimum of 2 leadership and management roles

§  Explain the key differences between these roles-You could discuss Management as authority and control, Leadership as vision and influence, Managers and team members vs Leaders and followers, aspects of context – Power – Authority – Control (French & Ravens) Task v People perspectives (Blake & Mouton grid/Tannenbaum & Smidt)

§  Explain how the different leadership and management roles impact on organisational effectiveness

§  Identify and briefly explain a minimum of 2 leadership and management styles– you could discuss Trait theory / McGregor’s X and Y style / Scientific management (Taylor) v Human School (Mayo) / Situational leadership and/or Action-centred leadership / Transactional/Transformational / Servant leadership

AC1.3 Compare the different knowledge, skills and behaviours required for leadership and management in organisations. . (Approximately 425 words)

KEY FOCUS AREA.  There is no one way to describe what makes a great leader or a good manager.   There are many different lists describing the skills, behaviour, and knowledge one should possess to become a great leader or a good manager in the workplace. The role of HR is to focus on the core ones that are going to provide the greatest chance for organisational success and then make sure they are embedded throughout the employee lifecycle.
We advise you use 3 clear sub-headings for each element of the task. You must provide some comparison.

 

§  Identify a minimum of 2 examples of knowledge required for leadership

§  Identify a minimum of 2 examples of knowledge required for management

§  How are these similar or different?

 

§  Identify a minimum of 2 examples of skills required for leadership

§  Identify a minimum of 2 examples of skills required for management

AC2.2 Evaluate the different concepts and range of approaches that are available for effective Leadership and Management development. (Approximately 550 words)

KEY FOCUS AREA. With the rapidly changing world of work, Leaders and Managers need to be flexible and adaptable to the working context- dependent on the situation and the specific role and position. This variability needs to be reflected not only in the content of the development programmes but also in how Leaders and Managers now can learn. HR needs to be innovative and uptodate with latest thinking, ideas, and approaches to make sure Leaders and Managers have the correct knowledge, skills, and behaviours to be effective.
§  Provide a brief overview of how and why people learn – in the context of adult learners/leadership and development programmes

§  Evaluate a minimum of 4 different approaches that are available for effective leadership and management development.

§  For each example you must evaluate-what are the pros/cons/advantages/disadvantages.

AC2.3 Discuss why Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) should be an integral component of Leadership and Management development activities. (Approximately 400 words)

KEY FOCUS AREA. D&I training is most effective when it’s part of an organisation-wide strategic approach, includes both awareness and skills development, and is conducted over time. This is why it is essential to weave D&I throughout the Development Programmes to make sure there is sustained behaviour changes across an organisation.   Leaders and Managers become role models and champions of D&I.
§  Provide a brief explanation of the meaning of Diversitywhat does this term mean?

§  Identify and explain a minimum of 2 reasons why Diversity is an important consideration in Leadership and Management development initiatives. You could discuss why it is important to take into account differences in language, technology, cultural norms and expectations

§  Provide a brief explanation of the meaning of Inclusion- what does this term mean?

§  Identify and explain a minimum of 2 reasons why Inclusion is an important consideration in Leadership and Management development initiatives. You could discuss why it is important to take into account difference in non-verbal signals and interpretations, issues with regard to practical activities, and fonts, text sizes, use of colour, volume levels, brightness levels

Where possible use examples from your organisation or other case studies to support your points
