Research Methods for Business Students

The Career Path Appreciation (CPA) is an assessment interview that theoretically gives insight into conceptual capacity. CPA interviews were conducted with 148 active-duty Army officers in residence at the U.S. Army War College, Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. Each volunteered to be interviewed. The interrater reliability, based on 57 cases scored by two raters, was .81. Considering the quasiclinical nature of the assessment interview, this is highly acceptable. In addition, modest construct validity was demonstrated for the CPA Current Conceptual Capacity scores. War college instructors, who rated a substample on strategic thinking skill as demonstrated in War College seminar groups, tended to rate those who scored higher on the CPA as better thinkers than those who scored lower (r = .57 and .51 on two different thinking skill measures). Examination of individual responses to the PHRASES task by subjects classified into four conceptual capacity levels on the basis of their investigator-rated CPA performances suggested ways to improve some of the PHRASES item sets. Conceptual skills, Stratified systems theory, Assessment, Strategic leadership.

New Directions in Islamic Thought, Creativity and Activism

All four of the bombers involved in 7/7, the deadly attack on London's transport system in July 2005, were aged 30 or under. The spectre of extremist Islam looms large and Muslim youth in the UK are increasingly linked to radical Islamic movements. A clear, balanced examination of this complex issue is long overdue. Philip Lewis sets out to address this by looking at the lives and beliefs of young Muslims aged 18 to 30, against a backdrop of the problems any migrant community face. Beginning with an overview of British Muslim communities, he goes on to explore the nature of the intergenerational gap in the Muslim community, showing how normal tensions are exaggerated as children are educated in a language and culture different to that of their parents. Patriarchal 'clan politics' and a breakdown in communication between young Muslims and traditional Muslim leaders are dispossessing Islamic youth, leading a small but significant minority to turn to radical groups for somewhere to belong and something to believe in. Lewis concludes by identifying a generational shift from 'clan politics' to what he calls a 'new professionalism' and demonstrates how new organizations and networks of Muslim thinkers are springing up all the time - allowing young Muslims to find positive identities and outlets for their concerns and energies.

Microeconomics is the most engaging introductory economics resource available to students today. Using real businesses examples to show how managers use economics to make real decisions every day, the subject is made relevant and meaningful. Each chapter of the text opens with a case study featuring a real business or real business situation, refers to the study throughout the chapter, and concludes with An Inside Look—a news article format which illustrates how a key principle covered in the chapter relates to real business situations or was used by a real company to make a real business decision. Solved problems in every chapter motivate learners to confidently connect with the theory to solve economic problems and analyse current economic events.
