For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to develop a   scholarly paper about power and sample size determination. Within the content   of the paper, you will have the opportunity to examine three different   examples of sample size. Please use issues related to public health.

Select two journal articles where a sample size is identified using   the CSU Online Library databases for your search. Ensure the articles were   published within the past five years.

Be sure to include the following in the content of your paper:

In the first section, explain your thoughts concerning what would   have happened if the studies had a much smaller or limited number of   participants (instead of the number of participants they actually had) to   support a valid research study.

For the second section, explain your thoughts about what could have   happened if the researchers had too many participants (more than they   actually had), and this became a strain on finances and resources.

In the third section, explain how your selected research articles   incorporated key themes from power and sample size determination.

In the fourth section, identify why the samples in the studies were   estimated to be the right sizes for the population under study.

Next, explain how the margin of error, effect size, and variability   of the outcome affect sample size computations.

Finally, compare and contrast the three sample scenarios you   identified above (too many, too few, and the ideal number of participants)   for the two articles. How would the results have been similar or different   depending on the sample sizes? You may create a chart with columns and rows   for this final section.

Your paper must be at least three pages in length, and you must use   at least the two selected journal articles as references, but more may be   used if needed. Any information from a source must be cited and referenced in   APA format, and your paper should be formatted in APA style.

For this assignment, you will find an existing knowledge management tool and apply it to a new area. For example, you may take a tool which has been historically used in a financial area and apply it to a medical informatics problem.

  • Find an existing knowledge management tool. This should be a tool which is open source, and is manageable for you to install in a reasonably short amount of time.
  • Once you have procured this tool and installed it, spend some time gaining a brief understanding of how the tool works and what some of its benefits are. Provide screenshots of the tool’s installation and some non-trivial examples of its functionality in an appendix.
  • Find an area of knowledge management to which this tool has not yet been applied. A few popular areas of knowledge management include:
    • IT Systems
    • Medical Informatics
    • Business Strategies
    • Project Management (including)
      • Integration
      • Scope
      • Quality
      • Communication
      • Risk
    • After selecting a new knowledge management area to which to apply this tool, create a report addressing the following:
      • Why did you select the tool? What are the main benefits that it provides?
      • What were some other possible tools you could have selected, and why did you choose this tool over them?
      • What is the new problem you are trying to solve using this tool? Why do you believe other tools have yet to be applied to this area? How will you go about using this tool? Provide evidence to support the need for this tool’s use in your new area.
      • How would you plan on implementing this tool? What would your next steps need to be? For this project, you are NOT expected to write any code or perform any data analyses, but you should have a solid plan of what your next steps would be to apply the tool to a new area.

Length: 6 – 8 pages, not including title page and references

Resources: A minimum of 5 scholarly resources

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect graduate-level writing and APA standards.

For this assignment, you will mainly use IBISWorld to complete a Market Structure Analysis. This assignment was adapted from Core Microeconomics, Chiang, 3rd edition.

IBISWorld:Your journey into a selected industry begins by clicking on the first listing in the gray-shaded box, US Industry Reports (NAICS).

1. Choose TWO specific products. These products MUST be sold in different industries. For example, you could choose domestic airline travel and dish detergent.

Product #1:Product #2:

2. Consider the Market Factors for each product. Please conduct some research on IBISWorld [and outside research] to address TWO to FOUR market factors listed in the Market Factors section below:

a. Market Factor 1 – Number of firms:• Is the industry composed of many firms, each with limited or no ability to set the market price, such as local pizza places, or is it dominated by a large firm such as Wal-Mart that can influence price regardless of the number of other firms?

b. Market Factor 2 – Nature of the product: • Are we talking about a homogeneous product such as salt, for which no consumer will pay a premium or are we considering leather handbags, which consumers may think vary greatly, in that some firms (Coach, Gucci) produce better goods than others?

c. Market Factor 3 – Barriers to entry: • Does the industry require low start-up and maintenance costs such as found at a roadside fruit and vegetable stand, or is it a computer-chip business that may require $1 billion to build a new chip plant?

d. Market Factor 4 – Price control (market power):• For example, pharmaceutical companies can set prices for new medicines, at least for a period of time, because of patent protection. Farmers and copper producers have virtually no control and get their prices from world markets. Possible market structures range from perfect competition, characterized by many firms, to monopoly, where an industry is made up of only one firm.

Factor #1 explanation:Factor #2 explanation:

3. Conduct some additional research, then make a determination regarding the type of market in which the product is sold. In other words, indicate whether it operates in a perfectly competitive, monopoly, oligopoly, or monopolistically competitive market. Justify your response.

Type of Market:
