A Competitive Coup in the In-Flight Magazine
What are the most prudent decisions she can make about her responsibilities to herself and others?
The most prudent decisions the Manager has to make are that of her ethical standards and behavior and how it will affect the company. Cooper and Schindler (2011) states that” the goal of ethics in research is to ensure that no one is harmed or suffers adverse consequences from research activities” (p. 32). She must decide if she uses this information if she will debrief the company on the deception of the research since it unauthorized. She must also decide on protecting the right of the researcher and ensure that she is providing the sponsor with ethically conducted and reported research.

If it is found out how the manager obtained the information, she can lose her job and tarnish her reputation. The company can face liability for using stolen or unauthorized research. 1. Distinguish between the following: a. Exploratory and formal studies
Exploratory is a way a study may be viewed, its immediate use is usually to develop hypotheses or questions for further research. Cooper and Schindler (2011) state that “exploratory studies tend toward loose structures with the objective of discovering future research tasks” (p. 140). Formal studies are another way a study may be viewed and picks up where exploratory studies left off. Cooper and Schindler (2011) also note that “the goal of the formal studies is to test the hypotheses or answer the research questions posed” (p. 140). b. Experimental and ex post facto research designs
In an experimental research design, the research attempts to control and or manipulate the variables in the study. It is most appropriate when the wish is to discover whether certain variables produce effects in other …show more content…
b. Why is ascribing causality more difficult when conclusions have been reached through induction?
Cooper and Schindler (2011) view inductive conclusions as inferences, which are “statements of the probability based on what we observe and measure” (p. 151). c. Correlation does not imply causation. Illustrate this point with examples from business.
Correlation is simultaneous occurrence while causation refers to one factor having a direct effect on an outcome. Recently there was a role change in which the person doing the Accounts Payable (A/P) position was deemed ineffective and transferred to a different role and someone with a degree in Accounting was hired as the replacement. The transition has proved successful and it is being heralded with the correlation that because the replacement has an Accounting degree that is why performance is up. The causal conclusion leans to the fact that the new A/P role was redesigned to give the person more time on focus on the job by doing only A/P tasks while the previous person in the role actually performed multiple functions not relating to A/P, which took up a lot of time and left her with little time to focus and be effective in the A/P
