Research Critique Guidelines – Part II Quantitative Studies Background Hospitalization of young children for an extended period results in a gradual loss of the ability to cope with the external challenges that may lead to depression conditions called hospitalization syndrome. Institutionalization of young persons may have a dramatic effect on an individual’s welfare because of the stress and loneliness caused by isolation from the home environment, and a decrease in physical and emotional health may happen consequently. Anxiety and apathy are common symptoms exhibited by patients suffering from hospitalization syndrome. Thus a significant challenge is to design a cheaper and effective intervention, which may lower depression among hospitalized children by stimulating social response and physical body activity. The identification of the human-animal connection has led to the initiation of animal therapy to improve the lives of hospitalized patients. Dog therapy has acted as an innovative intervention that may reduce physiological conditions of hospitalized patients, because of its ability to enhance communication, thus its significance in nursing practice. The research purposely tested the value of a dog assisted therapy as an…
The Blue Ocean Strategy Competition is a common aspect for every business or firm in existence. Competition can either boost the growth of a firm or kill it off completely by grabbing away the market. Subsequently, as a firm seeking to grow, there are other ways to mitigate competition and to ensure that it stays ahead of the rest in the market and survives. More substantial firms have sought to concentrate on where the competition is high to prove their might or ability to stand above the rest. However, there is a catch in tapping the potential markets yet to be discovered by other firms. In this annotated bibliography, a scholar provides tips to tapping markets with potential where there is still less competition The authors believe that instead of spending so much energy and firm resources in competing with other rival firms, there is a need to create a new niche or environment with potential. Thus they use metaphors to describe the competition and potential areas for rival firms. The authors use red oceans to mean regions where the…
Classical and Neoclassical Perspectives on Organization Adam Smith (1723-1790) and David Ricardo (1772-1823) laid the foundations for classical theory upon which the neoclassical theories are based. The traditional perspective focuses on economic analysis based on the production of goods and services as the neoclassical idealists’ analysis of the economy based on the exchange of products and services (Zafirovski, 2008). The classical theories include the Bureaucracy, Fayle’s 14 principles, and the scientific management by Taylor, while the neoclassical involves the Hawthorne experiments and Human resources(Sarker, 2013). More integration inapplicability of the two theories provides excellent results in economic analysis. Still in the modern neoclassical economic, some aspects of the classical theorist exist in the financial analysis. These aspects arise from the interrelation of functions. Integration of approaches With functionality interdependency regarding the planning of the company to controlling of a business enterprise becomes considered during economic analysis.Nevertheless, it is possible to practice some of these theories and still achieve the purpose of extending and combiningorganization theory and development in a research project. Consequently, a more dynamic and unique research project to…

OSHA and CBS’s report INTRODUCTION: Investigations from OSHA and CBS’s report indicate that the BP Texas City disaster was caused by numerous range of failures such as understaffing, mechanical errors, and, most importantly, it was contributed by human error. The cause of this tragic incidence added by many things like the location of the trailers where the operations were meant to start because according to the blueprint of the plant it is clear that the containers were located in the most hazardous locations which put the employees prone to harm (Holmstrom, et.al, 2006). For example, a close look at the location of the trailers indicates that they were located in between the catalyst warehouse as well as the isomerization unit, whereby; they were separated by pipes that carried the most flammable liquid in the company. Also; a close look at the permanent structures that contained the company’s offices indicates that they were located far from any hazard, which is why there were no deaths in permanent office structures. Based on this; it is clear that if the location of the…
Organizational Problems Summary Despite having other problems, the engineering industries have organization problems that arise from how the industry functions. Mostly these problems are based on the administration and the leadership and how it affects the industry’s production. For instance, there are industries with fewer managers; therefore, the task of supervising many employees is challenging. The issue of managing employees is not the only issue here; some managers have extra tasks such as contacting suppliers, arranging transportation, and even marketing. This seems like an overtasking if it is done by two or fewer managers. In situations like these, the managers may fail to excel in one of the tasks. Therefore, they interfere with the overall production of the industry. The management issue in the engineering industries has become a severe problem that can generate other related problems. For instance, the management of the industry can interfere with the type of technology used in the industry. An excellent example of explaining this point is when an engineering industry has an effective management system; there are high chances that the industry can…
