Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this quantitative correlation research study is to determine to what extent, if any, is there a correlation between the training methods used in large retail organizations and the impact on the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics. Key Performance Indicator (KPI) metrics will be analyzed using a Likert-type scale analyzing 1,500 employee metrics generated from existing reports collected before and after training. These metrics are used to determine the productivity of employees, including how the employees are reviewed for pay increases and promoted up within the organization. The independent variables are sales, units per transactions (UPT), and opening credit card applications. The dependent variable is training models utilizing andragogy theory.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this qualitative interview study is to gain a robust shared understanding of what strategies African-American entrepreneurs adopt to increase their emotional intelligence and remain in business beyond an initial five years in Houston, TX. By gaining an in-depth understanding of the experiences of current minority entrepreneurs, the failure gap for others in the future may be reduced. An in-depth understanding aids more new minority entrepreneurs to experience success.

Purpose Statement
The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenology was to identify and report the lived experiences of managers relevant to CSR implementation in manufacturing corporations in Charlotte, North Carolina. Data was collected from 15 semi structured interviews, or until data saturation was achieved. Data was collected using the snowball sampling technique (Patton, 2015). The phenomena studied with this research was how CSR is implemented within corporations by managers. Corporate leaders strive to implement CSR despite the disparity between its concept and real-life practice and debate among scholars about its profitability (Glavas, 2016). Identifying and reporting the lived experiences of corporate leaders and staff may illuminate understanding of the implementation of CSR that may result in positive social changes by mitigating the negative consequences of production and improving societal well-being.
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this qualitative exploratory multiple case study was to gain an understanding of the organizational factors that encourage unethical practices by organizations leaders in Nigeria despite having ethical leadership skills and knowledge. The unit of analysis was nine purposefully sampled leaders from each of two organizations in the telecommunications sector, that participated in semi structured interview sessions. The telecommunications sector is a viable segment of the Nigerian economy (Khan, 2014b); it is a major contributor to Nigeria's GDP that has been alleged within works of literature to have amplified unethical practices since the advent of Global System of Mobile Telecommunication (GSM) in 2001. Recent scandals within the sector have demonstrated the devastating consequences of unethical leadership in Nigeria organizations (Marshall, Cardon, Poddar, & Fontenot, 2013; O'Reilly, & Parker, 2013; Robinson, 2014).
