The Case Study in Family Business : An Analysis of Current Research Practices and Recommendations

2016

In this study, we identified and analyzed 75 articles in the family business (FB) literature between 2000 and 2014 as to the case study design they adopted. We found that the positivistic case study approach is the FB disciplinary convention. The two alternative approaches of critical realism and interpretivism are used to a significantly lesser extent. We anticipate that in the future the positivistic approach will continue to be used widely. The other two approaches can be employed to a higher extent since their use is likely to contribute to a scientific pluralism in FB case study research.

Identifying Themes for Research-based Development of Pedagogy and Guidance in Higher Education

2013

The high value accorded to the research-based development of education in higher education communities means that researchers in the field have an important role in determining the foci of such efforts. However, it is important to ask whether higher education research is providing answers that satisfy practical educational needs. In this study, themes in higher education research published in Finland during 2000–2008 were compared to those addressed in non-refereed writings published by higher education teachers and students. The thematic analyses, (n = 1,298) focusing on topics related to learning, studying, and their promotion revealed the need for a broader life-wide framework for develo…

Buone pratiche e strumenti di analisi per l’apprendimento, l’insegnamento e l’inclusione

Il presente lavoro, nato in seno al progetto di ricerca “Best practices and tools of analysis in schools and community contexts: learning, teaching & inclusion”, avviato su fondi del Dipartimento SPPEFF dell’Università di Palermo, nel marzo 2019 e giunto alla sua seconda fase. La metodologia di ricerca utilizzata – perché ritenuta adeguata a perseguire le finalità fissate e a fornire una visione complessa ed articolata del fenomeno investigato – è stata quella del Mixed Method, con particolare riferimento all’Explanatory Design: Participant Selection Model di Creswell, Plano Clark, et al. (2003). L’«Explanatory Design is a two-phase mixed methods design. The overall purpose of this desi…

Personal Social Networks of Community-Dwelling Oldest Old During the Covid-19 Pandemic—A Qualitative Study

2021

The COVID-19 pandemic and its related restrictions have affected the everyday life of older people. Advanced age is a significant predisposing factor for a more severe COVID-19 infection, increasing the risk for hospitalization and mortality. Even though restrictions have been, thus, well-grounded, they may also have had detrimental effects on the social well-being of older people. Personal networks and social activity are known protective factors against the premature decline in health and functioning, and it is widely acknowledged that social isolation increases feelings of loneliness, poor quality of life, and even the risk for diseases and disabilities among older adults. This qualitati…

HEALTHCARE QUALITY - A MANAGERIAL APPROACH

2014

Healthcare quality has been defined in different ways, depending on the dimension that the authors had in mind. Furthermore, if initially healthcare quality was defined and assessed from the specialists’ and researchers’ point of view, nowadays the importance of patient and the public opinion preferences and perspective has been recognized. Thus, the first step in assessing the quality of these services involves defining what is meant by "quality". Along these lines, this paper presents the results of a qualitative research, conducted on a sample of 16 managers, quality managers and CEOs of several clinics and hospitals, both public and private (for-profit), from Bucharest.

Idiomas rakstos par tirgvedību

2016

Šīs bakalaura darbs sniedz padziļinātu analīzi par idiomām rakstos par tirgvedību. Lai veiktu pētījumu, kvalitatīvā un kvantitatīvā analīze tika izmantota. Praktiskās daļas rezultāti liecina, ka pārsvarā vienā rakstā ir viena idioma. Lielākā daļa idiomu funkcionē kā darbības vārdi un lietvārdi. Mazāk ir idiomas kas funkcionē kā īpašības vārdi un apstākļa vārdi. Vismazāk idiomu funkcionē kā prievārdi. Korpusa analīze norāda, ka idiomas galvenokārt tiek izmantotas, lai padarītu angļu valodu krāsaināku, bet mazāk parādījās idiomas, kas tiek izmantotas, lai teksts šķistu interesantāks. Mērķis ir veiksmīgi sasniegts. Tālākam pētījumam teorētiskajā daļā ir nepieciešama padziļināta analīze kā atšķ…

Uzņēmumu mājas lapu žanra analīze

2017

Sākumlapai ir nozīmīga loma pievilcīgā veidā prezentēt mājaslapas satura izvilkumu. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija veikt struktūras analīzi multinacionālo uzņēmumu korporatīvām sākumlapām. Balstoties uz Korporatīvas Mājaslapas Modeļa pamatu (Askehave un Nielsen, 2005), tika veikta kvalitatīvā un kvantitatīvā izpēte trīsdesmit nejauši izvēlētām uzņēmumu korporatīvām sākumlapām. Teorētiskais pētījums atklāja, ka uzņēmumu sākumlapas satur noteiktus retoriskos soļus un hipersaites ar noteiktu tipu, kuras var analizēt piemērojot žanra analīzi. Secinājumi empīriskajā pētījumā atklāja, ka gandrīz visas izvēlētās sākumlapas lieto CHP modeli…

Ethics in Emergency Medical Services – Who Cares? An exploratory analysis from Australia

2008

Due to the complexity, stressfulness and often the life threatening nature of tasks that ambulance professionals have to deal with every day, ethical decision making in Emergency Services is a daily challenge. An Australian Association of Ambulance Professionals undertook a project of research to identify the individual ethics profile of members and their perspective on organization ethics and ethical conflict to better understand apparent conflict in ethical values between members and their employer organization. Due to the exploratory nature of this study two types of data (quantitative and qualitative) were gathered through a self-administrated questionnaire of members and semi-structure…

Enhanced Customer Cooperation : Experiences with cooperative compliance in Finland

2018

This report examines the experiences with a collaborative compliance project – Enhanced Customer Cooperation (ECC) – introduced by the Finnish Tax Administration. The ECC was introduced by the Large Taxpayers’ Unit of the Finnish Tax Administration at the beginning of 2013, and it ran as a pilot until the end of 2015. Since the start of 2016, the ECC has been a part of the permanent operations of the Large Taxpayers’ Unit.
