Abstract

Research can be carried out through primary or secondary methods. While the secondary methods are cost effective and convenient, they lack the accuracy and currency in terms of contemporary occurrences. It is for this reason that researchers embark on field surveys where they sample a group of respondents from the population collect primary data from them and extrapolate to reflect a representation of the entire population. However, the use of questionnaires and a cross sectional study approach comes with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. It ensures the research objective are adhered to and that the relevancy is not lost during the ...

Most businesses face the challenge of establishing functional performance management. The main objective of implementing performance management is to enhance and raise the par of employee performance. The most common component of performance management is performance appraisals. According to Martocchion (2016), performance management is defined as “the process by which individual performance is guided, assessed and rewarded”. On the other hand, performance appraisals are defined as “well-established ways of providing milestones, feedback, guidance and monitoring for staff” (Martocchio, 2016). The essence of having effective performance appraisals is to help establish effective merit pay programs. For companies to have efficient ...

A budget is a method of organizational planning and control that ensures the judicious use of limited financial resources and contributes to the entity’s ability to survive in a competitive healthcare industry (Yoder-Wise, 2011).

Cost of Equity Capital

Cost of equity can defined as the opportunity cost of raising finances through equity. Equity comprises of ordinary share capital and retained earnings of a company. The rate of return expected by investors is the same as the cost of equity. Cost of equity is therefore important in valuation of shares. However, unlike debt securities, which have fixed interest, dividend paid on equity securities fluctuate over time. It is in the discretion of the management of any company discretion to determine how much dividend to pay in case they decide to pay dividend. This makes it hard to estimate the ...

Introduction

Perturbation method and method of strained coordinates is usually not in a position of computing standard legitimate expansions in cases, in which steep changes in dependent variables occurs in particular sections of the domain of the independent variables. In such occurrences, simple expansions are used to simplify such section, and strained coordinates that are almost similar to them are not able to handle the steep changes. In order to acquire standardized legitimate expansions, one must acknowledge and embrace the fact that the steep changes are featured by the magnified scales, which are distinct from the scale featuring the behavior of ...

Influenza Case Study: Presentation Outline

The other diagnosis considered was pneumonia, but the patient lacked all of the symptoms corresponding to pneumonia (i.e. cough); similarly, the patient’s symptoms corresponded with the flu (i.e. fever, muscle soreness, lethargy, runny nose, and shortness of breath).

So, for these reasons, the patient was not started on oral antibiotics at the hospital.

Instead, the patient began a course of the aforementioned Tamiflu, despite laboratory supported data confirming that the patient had the flu. The reason for this decision is that laboratory-run viral cultures take 3-10 days to return to the clinician treating the patient, and Tamiflu useful only if administered within 48 hours of flu onset; this means that a course of ...

Family structure affects the rate of poverty among societies. The number of parents in a family gets linked with the availability of quality economic and human resource available to a child. Families headed by single parents are likely to be economically vulnerable as compared to married couples. Single parent families have only one wage earner and this provides a reason for economic vulnerability (Alesina & Glaesar 42). Poverty caused by the family structure impacts on both the parent and children. The age of children also affects poverty rates. Families composed of young children who are unable to provide labor have higher poverty levels. ...

Regression analysis refers to a host of techniques used in statistics to explain relationships between variables in a data set. He helps us understand and make predictions of how dependent variables would change when independent variables are altered. Scott Armstrong (2012) says that “the estimation target is a function is a function of the independent variables called the regression function” (p. 9).It is this regression function that gives the mathematical relationship between the various variables in the data set. He says too that characterizing the disparity of the dependent variable around the regression meaning can also be described by the probability function.
