Research design refers to the specific type of study that you will conduct. Research design is normally consistent with one’s philosophical worldview and the methodological approach the researcher chooses. In this case, you are using a quantitative methodology. As we have discussed in this course, quantitative research designs can be experimental and non-experimental. You will be using a non-experimental design that can include descriptive statistics, correlational or causal-comparative research methods.
Research methods refer to specific procedures selected based on the chosen design. This is where you will provide detail on how you collected and analyzed your data. For quantitative methodologies, research methods can be quite detailed and require that attention be paid to recruitment, sampling, sampling frame, sample size, surveys, pilot tests, observations, data collection, data analysis, statistical procedures, data interpretation, coding, validity, reliability, generalizability, reporting, etc.
For this assignment, you will develop the research design for the Sun Coast project, utilizing this Unit III template to complete your assignment.
Your Unit III research design submission should include the below elements.
 Research Methodology: Describe and justify the choice of research methodology and why it was most suitable to solve the problems. Be sure to compare and contrast this choice with the design that was not selected.
 Research Design: Explain whether the research design is exploratory, causal, or descriptive. Provide the rationale for the choice.
 Research Methods: Review the research questions and hypotheses you developed in Unit II, and then decide on the most appropriate research methods to test your hypotheses. They might include a combination of experimentation, descriptive statistics, correlation, and casual-comparative methods. Be sure to specify which method will be used to test which research question and hypotheses, and explain why that method was most appropriate.
 Data Collection Methods: Specify how the data were most likely collected to test the hypotheses. Data collection methods include, but are not limited to, survey, observation, and records analysis. Be sure to specify which data collection method was used to collect the data needed for each research question and hypothesis. Please note that one data collection method could capture the data for several research questions and hypotheses.
 Sampling Design: Briefly describe the type of sampling design that was most likely used for the data that were collected. Choices include, but are not limited to, random sample, convenience sample, etc. Explain your rationale for your sampling design selection(s).
 Data Analysis Procedures: Specify which statistical procedures will be used to test each of your hypotheses from among correlation, regression, t test, and ANOVA. Explain why each procedure was the most appropriate choice.

 

 

 

Sample Solution

ves of managers are focusing on managing staff within an organization effectively to do so by ensuring quality and profitability. Manager is centered on achieving set objectives, the role of leader is to create the system that the manger functions within. Leadership is about vision and innovation, whereas management is about maintenance of excellent standards.

Henri Fayol (1841-1925) was one of the most influential contributors to modern concepts of management” he considers six functions to understand management concept (Forecasting, planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling). According to Fredmund Malik defines it as “the transformation of resources into utility”. Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933) allegedly defined management as “the art of getting things done through people” she describes management as philosophy. Peter Drucker (1909-2005) saw the basic task of management as twofold: marketing and innovation. Management is an academic discipline, a social science whose objective is to study social organization and organizational leadership. It is administration of an organization where it be a business. It includes activities of setting the strategy of an organization.

Some studies adopted the classification of administration schools such as (1. Traditional school 2. Human relations school, 3. Behavior school) follow these theories to analyses and demonstrate this concept.

Organizational Change

Organizational change is the movement of an organization away from is present state and toward some desired future state to increase its effectiveness (Fullan,2010;Hargreaves,2011;Marzano & Waters,2010).

The increased pace of change that many of us have encountered over the past ten years has been dramatic. During the late 1980s, many of us were grappling with issues that we had never encountered. The accelerated use of leverages as means of increasing shareholder wealth left the balance sheet of some of America’s finest organizations in disarray. Many of largest customers, that for years represented minimal risk and required a minimum amount of time to manage, consumed most of our energy. By the end of 1993, many of these organizations had either resolved their financial troubles in bankruptcy court or no longer existed.
