Action Research From Concept to Presentation: A Practical Handbook to Writing Your Master's Thesis

Perhaps the most daunting graduate school requirement is the development of an action research Master's thesis. This capstone task requires unprecedented amounts of time, energy, and verbiage. Designed to take stress out of the thesis-writing equation, this student-friendly comprehensive handbook glides the reader through a 28-step process from developing a focal topic to defending a scholarly thesis. Framing each chapter as a one-week action assignment, the authors have broken down the process into manageable chunks to enable students writers to achieve an immediate sense of completion at every step. By using this scaffolding approach the the authors encourage the student researcher to focus on one part of the process rather than the total, sometimes overwhelming, final product. With the exception of the "Review of the Literature" section which takes several weeks to complete, all other thesis sections can and should be timed out for seven days. The Authors primary objective was to empower the student researcher to accomplish each of the steps in the process while never loosing site on the product that will help the children in their classrooms. Whether developing an Abstract or writing in-text citations, student researchers are guided throughout he nuances of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Associations, 6th Edition.

Best iPad Apps

The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders

What really wows iPad fans is when their touchscreen does what's impossible on other gadgets: the finger-painting app that turns a cross-country flight into a moving art class, the mini music studio (two-dozen instruments strong, each with motion-induced warble effects), and the portable fireworks display that you sculpt by swiping. Problem is, with tens of thousands of apps available for your iPad, who knows what to download? You can try to sort through a gazillion customer reviews with a mix of 5- and 1-star ratings, but that’s a head-hurting time-waster. The stakes are getting higher, too: instead of freebies and 99-cent trinkets, the price of iPad apps is steadily creeping up and beyond their iPhone predecessors. Best iPad Apps guides you to the hidden treasures in the App Store's crowded aisles. Author Peter Meyers stress-tested thousands of options to put together this irresistible, page-turner of a catalog. Inside these pages, you’ll find apps as magical as the iPad itself. Flip through the book for app suggestions, or head directly to one of several categories we've loaded up with "best of" selections to help you: Get work done Manipulate photos Make movies Create comics Browse the Web better Take notes Outline ideas Track your health Explore the world No matter how you use your iPad, Best iPad Apps will help you find the real gems among the rubble -- so you make the most of your glossy gadget.

Implementation of an IT Balanced Scorecard

Theory and Application

Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1, University of Salzburg (International Executive MBA General Management (Upgrade)), language: English, abstract: Information technology (IT) plays a major role in today’s companies. Although, in most firms IT does not generate the core customer value itself, it rather supports creating additional customer value or enables cost efficiency of business processes. This is why IT departments are viewed in most cases as service centres of companies, providing a defined set of services for as low costs as possible. But, service centres should still strive to provide only these services which are necessary for supporting the company’s strategy. In the beginning of information technology, IT departments defined the quality and quantity of services provided for the firm. Also, innovations concerning IT, evolved mostly within the IT department. This was because only IT-staff has known the range of possibilities IT was able to offer. A major problem of the IT department defining the quality of service was that many improvements have been made for the sake of IT only and have not been aligned to the strategy of the company. Therefore, many resources of a company have been wasted in IT departments. However, for today’s businesses it is essential that IT enables only corporate strategies in order to remain effective. Caused by the current financial crisis, uncertain times for businesses are expected. This makes strategy alignment and execution of IT departments even more significant in order to stay efficient and effective. But, a recent survey carried out by McKinsey & Company shows that there are still enormous potentials for improving the performance of IT departments. For example the survey shows that the basic services are met quite well by many IT departments, but the big challenges for supporting the business, still remain. Also, 67% of all respondents of the survey (chief information officers and senior executives) think that the business and IT strategy are not tightly integrated in their company. (cf. McKinsey 2008) Consequently, strategy alignment of business and IT as well as strategy execution are not simple tasks. Processes which are supporting the strategy effectively have to be defined and controlled constantly. Controlling tangible assets, which affect the strategy, might turn out to be fairly complex, controlling intangible assets is even more difficult. [...]

This is why IT departments are viewed in most cases as service centres of companies, providing a defined set of services for as low costs as possible.
