and analysis of business data to yield valuable information is an arduous task. There are a number of research techniques available to facilitate the collection of business information, but questions of validity and reliability remain a debating issue when collecting information about human beings.Humans may be oblivious of their actual behaviour, both on an individual level, and in terms of how they move within the larger web of culture. This mental restriction creates a barrier to the collection of information through generally used research techniques such as focus groups, one on one interviews and questionnaires. All too many research techniques depend entirely on people's retrospective

Successful product development requires managing tensions--coping with fluctuating contingencies to foster innovation and efficiency. To investigate this challenge, we explored the nature, dynamics, and impacts of contrasting project management styles. Our conceptual framework details emergent and planned styles. Following 80 projects over two-year periods, we find that these styles offer disparate but interwoven approaches to monitoring, evaluation, and control

The hypothesis of this study is that students who prefer to learn English via self-study means have a better self-perception of their speaking and listening skills.The findings of this investigation should be useful to language learning and teaching institutes and educators in the development of new language learning approaches in line with student preferences.MethodologyOn the 5th of December 2007, a survey concerned with international students

Background of the study
All through schools, children may face bullying. This term refers to unwanted and unwarranted aggression, violence and verbal abuse towards an individual as a result of a real or imagined power imbalance. For many literate persons, when one mentions the term bullying, their memories flashback to being mocked, having their lunch money taken or even being beaten up for no apparent reason. Today, however, bullying has evolved from the classrooms and onto a more powerful platform; social media. Cyber

An analysis of current research was conducted to examine how sleep disturbances negatively affect the day-to-day life of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Sleep problems were found to be associated with increased family, behavioural, and educational challenges. These findings suggest that further research needs to be conducted, to find effective interventions for families, to implement in order to reduce challenges related to sleep disturbances.

We are hypothesizing this because of the well documented effects of stereotype threat in other studies. According to Steele and Aronson (1995), other research supports the present hypothesis by showing that factors akin to stereotype threat-that is, other factors that add self-evaluative threat to test taking or intellectual performance-are capable of disrupting that performance.

Before PTSD was ever officially a medical condition, people were very skeptical of the validity of
the illness until 1980 when the American Psychiatric Association added PTSD to the third
edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III). The observation
that experiencing a traumatic event can lead to dozens of different symptoms is not new. During

Although Christina Rosetti’s “Goblin Market” was originally published as a children’s poem in 1862, a close reading and critical research suggests more complex adult themes throughout the poem. Many interpretations have claimed that Goblin’s Market is simply another form of the well-known Adam and Eve story of Creation within the Bible. Other interpretations suggest that Goblin’s Market has strong feminist undertones possibly demonizing men and empowering women.
