an extra email from her tutor:
Hi there,
I have had several students ask about the individual essay for conference planning.
Just to clarify:
This is asking you to think about ways (tools and techniques) of ensuring the delivery (implementation) of the event will be successful (judged by achieving event objectives).  You should think about some of the aspects of event planning covered (eg site/venue, content, budgets, risk, human resources) and think about how you can plan to ensure that the logistical elements of these aspects are delivered according to plan.
 
You may find it helpful to include examples of different types of events to help explain the tools/techniques and what they help to achieve in terms of putting conference and event plans into action
 
This is a ‘theoretical essay’, written using a traditional academic style, so you will need to explore literature. 
In the first place you may find it helpful to look at Allen et al (festival and special event management).  The third edition is best because you can look at chapter 12 but if you can only get the 5th edition then look at chapter 15 and parts of chapter 6.  The library has at least 1 reference and 1 3-hour loan version of each of these texts (as well as some to take out for 1 week loan).  I have also put my copy (2nd edition) in the project support centre for viewing – in which case look at chapter 13.
 
You may also find it helpful to look at Getz (p286-289) which discusses operations and logistics. There are other texts/trade press you will also need to look at but these are suggested to get you started.

5 | Social Science homework help

            Read this to answer the question
FEMALE SPEAKER: They’ve missed four of their parenting classes so far.  
FEMALE SPEAKER: So they haven’t completed their parenting group?  
FEMALE SPEAKER: I have to call the ACS worker and let her know. They’re probably going to have to take the classes over again, and that’s going to be tough. The classes caused the father to miss overtime at work, and they really rely on that money to make ends meet.  
FEMALE SPEAKER: But they have to finish the program. They’re only allowed three missed classes. There’s another problem. You know the agency’s been conducting a study of our performance. Well, it lowers our completion numbers. Lower numbers put our funding at risk. Our bosses start questioning the credibility of what we’re trying to do here.  
FEMALE SPEAKER: But I can’t give the Hernandez family the post test. They won’t be able to complete it.  
FEMALE SPEAKER: No, that’s not why I brought this up. The agency needs data to determine how effective these parenting classes are. The more attrition we have when parents don’t finish the program, there’s no data. No data means no support for what we’re teaching or how it might benefit other populations.  
FEMALE SPEAKER: Maybe we should account for the attrition then. Maybe there’s something we can learn from it?  
This week’s video introduces you to the Hernandez family. Juan and Elena  Hernandez are mandated to attend parenting classes. As part of the  parenting classes, they are required to participate in both a pretest  (taken before classes begin) and a posttest (taken after classes end).  Pretests and posttests can yield very useful information. They can  measure the learning that has or has not taken place as a result of the  education being provided. For this Discussion, imagine what kinds of  questions would be on a pretest and posttest for this particular study  sample (the parents who are taking parenting classes). 
 
your explanation of what you think the social workers wanted to know  when they designed the pre/posttest for evaluating the parenting  classes.  Be sure to address the concept of attrition and whether or not  you believe they took that into account. Be sure to explain why. Then,  analyze potential lessons learned from attrition. Finally, explain how  you might design a study to gather data about the effectiveness of these  parenting classes. Use the following questions to focus your thinking:

Would you recommend a pre-experimental, experimental, or quasi-experimental design?
Would the study involve measurement over time?
Would there be a control group?
In this group research design you imagine, what or who will be compared?
What limitations in terms of generalizability and internal validity can you anticipate based on the research plan you envision?
What can you tell the social worker about the issue of client drop out (also called attrition or experimental mortality)?
If there is no control group, what type of research  design could answer the question: Is this parent training class  effective in reducing abusive parenting practices?

Please use the resources to support your answer.

Examine the correlation output provided by the a survey. need a paper

Step 2: Summarizing the Correlation Table
? Examine the SPSS correlation output provided by the survey company (this information is provided on Blackboard in the 
“Individual Analysis Project Correlations” file).
o Create a new, more stream-lined correlation table to include in your final report. Use the correlation table from 
In-Class Assignment #2 as a guide. Some general questions to consider include the following:
? Is there any information in the table that is repeated and could be omitted?
? What are some changes you could make to this table to make it more “user friendly” or easier to read?
? Note: Be sure to include all of the information necessary for a “complete” correlation table (e.g., means, 
standard deviations, correlations, etc.)
o Examine the correlation table you just created, and summarize the correlational relationships. (hint: organizing 
this information in a table format can be helpful—a blank table is provided in the “Individual Analysis Project” 
Folder for your convenience. Please feel free to copy and paste it into your executive summary).
? What is the direction of each relationship?
? What is the statistical significance for each relationship?
? What is the practical significance for each relationship?MAN 6316: HRM Metrics

*Names and data contained within this assignment are purely fictitious—any similarity to an actual retailer is purely coincidental
Step 3: Interpretations, Recommendations, and Limitations/Next Steps
? Use the information you gathered in Steps 1-2 and interpret these findings. Specifically, make written recommendations to the 
company regarding the following:
a. How are Intentions to Stay related to Pay Satisfaction and being Conscientiousness? For instance, are people who are 
Conscientious more likely to have intentions to stay? How does pay satisfaction influence whether an employee 
intends to stay with the company?
b. Does age or gender share a statistically significant relationship with any of the variables? If so, what do those 
relationships mean?
c. Focus Financial believes that their best customer service providers are the employees who are most likely to leave the 
company. Does the data support this hypothesis? How is Customer Service Performance related to each of the 
variables studied?
d. Based on these results, what changes would you suggest Focus Financial make to help its employee retention? In 
other words, where should they focus their efforts to prompt the most change? (note: you can be creative with your 
suggestions, as long as they make sense based on the correlation results).
e. Focus Financial had access to limited data during this investigation, and they would like to conduct another study in 
the near future. Think about what you have learned during this class. What kinds of data do you think the company
should collect in the future to better assess their employee retention concerns? Are there any changes to their data 
collection methods that you would suggest? (Note: You can be creative, but be sure to support your suggestions with 
rationale/evidence from the course material.
The final written report should be 3-5 double-spaced pages (not including any tables/figures). The final written report should 
contain the following sections:
? Brief introduction (e.g., what is the purpose of the report?)
? Descriptive statistics for the data
? Correlation table & summary of correlational relationships
? Interpretation and Recommendations
? Outline of limitations/next steps

Presenting arguments | Phi 103 Information Logic

Topic: Parenting
Question: What is the appropriate age to talk about sex to your children? 
In this class, we learn to evaluate issues in light of the reasoning on all sides prior to arriving at conclusions. We aim to evaluate the quality and quantity of evidence, striving to be as objective as we can about what is most likely to be true.
Once you have formulated your question, conduct research from non-scholarly sources on the internet (e.g., news articles, op-eds, etc.) that present substantive reasoning on each side of the issue.
Your task is to present and evaluate the reasoning from a non-scholarly source on each side of your issue. There is no need to take sides on the issue at this stage. In your analysis, strive to be as objective as possible, evaluating the reasoning from a neutral point of view. For an example of how to complete this paper, take a look at the Week One Example paper.
Your paper should include clearly labeled sections addressing the following elements:

Introduction (approximately 100 words)

Explain your topic.
State the specific question that you are addressing.

Presentation of an Argument

Describe the non-scholarly source (e.g., an op-ed, newspaper article, website, etc.) on one side of the issue and summarize the key points made (approximately 50 words).
Present what you see as the main argument from that source. Make sure to present your argument in standard form, with the premises listed above the conclusion. (approximately 100 words)
Evaluate the quality of the reasoning in this source (approximately 200 words)

In completing your evaluation, consider assessing how well the research supports the premises of the main argument and how strongly the reasoning supports the conclusion of that argument.

Presentation of an Argument on the Other Side of the Issue

Describe the non-scholarly source on the opposite side of the issue and summarize the key points made. (approximately 50 words)
Present what you see as the main argument from that source. Make sure to present your argument in standard form, with the premises listed above the conclusion. (approximately 100 words)
Evaluate the quality of the reasoning in this source (approximately 200 words)

In completing your evaluation, consider assessing how well the research supports the premises of the main argument and how strongly the reasoning supports the conclusion.

Only one question to answer not essay !!!

 
Handling Sales Resistance
Brenda recently returned from a two week training session that focused on how to handle sales resistance and how to earn commitment. Brenda has become quite familiar with the ADAPT questioning system and knows she must use assessment questions to allow the buyer to describe their present situation. She has also developed a pretty good set of discovery questions that helps her identify the buyer’s pain and problems. Her challenge has been what to do with this information. Whenever Brenda attempts to use features and benefits to make her case, she encounters a myriad of objections. Brenda knows she has great products and service, but she has not been able to communicate this effectively to her prospects.
The objection she hears most often is: “I’ve never heard of your company, how long have you been in business?” If that is not bad enough, she heard the following objections in just one morning:
“I’m not sure I am ready to buy at this time, I’ll need to think it over.”
“Your company is pretty new; how do I know you’ll be around to take care of me in the future?”
“Your price is a little higher than I thought it would be.”
“Your company was recently in the news. Are you having problems?”
and finally,
“I think your company is too small to meet our needs.”
Brenda hears most of these objections right after she attempts to earn a commitment. She is now getting a little gun shy about asking her prospects for the order.
Brenda is sitting at her desk trying to figure out what to do next and she is not exactly sure how to proceed.
The QUESTION that I need you to answer it is :

Brenda appears to have an advantage with her products and services. Develop a plan for Brenda to overcome the sales resistance she is receiving.
