Reverse Osmosis Water Purification for the Semiconductor Industry
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing advances in the purification of water used in the manufacture of semiconductors.

Review of “An Alternative Approach: The Unfolding Model of Voluntary Employee Turnover”
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page paper analyzing the means by which employees reach decisions to leave their employers voluntarily.

Review of “Employee Turnover and Post-Decision Accommodation Process”
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page review of a 1981 article addressing the issue of employee turnover. Rather than inform any specific aspect of employee turnover in the time current to publication, Steers and Mowday (1981) conduct their exercise as a prelude to several suggestions for future research. Most of these suggestions relate to points raised throughout their article, specifically dissonance and attribution theories, and characteristics of the individual. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Review of “Engineering and Entrepreneurship”
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing an engineer-turned-entrepreneur’s assessment of his current role in his company. He says he is “acting” CEO as the company continues the search for a “real” one. There is a stereotypic view of engineers as qualifying for “absent-minded professor” roles, and in many cases that stereotype is well deserved. Of course there are more rounded engineers, but a company founded by an engineer to promote some product or process likely has been founded by an individual more interested in the “hands on” work of the company rather than in its management. This engineer demonstrates a high level of honesty in self-assessment in choosing to remain in the more creative role rather than poorly function in a more administrative one. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Review of “Evaluative and Descriptive Response Patterns to Negative Image Attributes”
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper assessing the research that this article describes. The concept is a good one, and the authors begin well. Their design breaks down, however, in the choices they offered to their study respondents. The paper also discusses validity and reliability in general terms, and then in terms specific to this single article. The researchers’ goals were admirable, but the methods they used in trying to achieve those goals appear to be less useful than they could have been. The bottom line here appears to be quite negative toward the authors’ work, but such is not the case at all. They provide inspiration for future research, approached differently than it was in their study. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Review of “Modes of Foreign Market Entry by Korean SI Firms”
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper reviewing a study investigating foreign market entry from an emerging economy into a fully developed one. Results supported five of Kim, Kim and Lee’s (2002) six hypotheses, and the sixth was not entirely rejected out of hand. Rather, the authors tried to explain that through alternative means, including the fact that the sample size was small as a result of being based on 25 case studies. The overall conclusion was that cultural differences do play a significant role in the success of foreign market entry from emerging to developed nations, as they do in the more common reverse flow. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Review of “Organizational, Work, and Personal Factors in Employee Turnover and Absenteeism”
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page review of a 1973 paper that arrives at the stunning conclusion that workers more satisfied with their jobs are less likely to leave them. The authors of this paper review many studies from the 1950s and 1960s, all qualitative and many with questionable validity or reliability, which often was the nature of qualitative research more than a generation ago. The authors appear to link acceptance of others’ work to large sample size and have little if anything to say about method or results. Bibliography lists 1 source.
