Abstract

This is a single paragraph, no indentation is required. The next page will be an abstract; “a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the article; it allows the readers to survey the contents of an article quickly” (Publication Manual, 2010). The length of this abstract should be 35-50 words (2-3 sentences). NOTE: the abstract must be on page 2 and the body of the paper will begin on page 3.

Introduction

Remember to always indent the first line of a paragraph (use the tab key). The introduction should be short (2-3 sentences). The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (italics or plain) are set in APA format. While you may change the names of the headings and subheadings, do not change the font.

Findings and Segmentation Applications

You now have used qualitative and quantitative tools to assess service quality and segmentation in the stores. How can a marketing manager use these results to build a segmentation strategy in one of the target stores. Part 3 of the Individual Project will be 1 page in length.

Add some concluding remarks-can be a sentence or two.

Rules for Forming Hypotheses A (alternative) hypothesis is a statement of what you believe based on deductive reasoning. The null hypothesis, which is the opposite of the hypothesis, is tested in hopes that it can be REJECTED, thereby implying the other hypothesis can be supported (NOTICE we do not say true, false or proven). In journal articles, if only one hypothesis is shown, it is usually the HYPOTHESIS. We are really interested in the hypothesis, but the rules of statistics dictate that we test the null hypothesis. You only test concepts that are measured by your Surveys (the FACTORS**) A survey is made up of questions. The questions will either measure a demographic (a label describing a person, thing). Examples would be gender, education, age, tenure, etc. OR They are questions that when put together (either averaged or summed) measure an abstract concept…we call this a scale or factor score (The individual portion of the U4 Group Assignment). When writing hypotheses, you do not compare on a single question, but rather a concept or factor/scale. If you measure a single question in a hypothesis for the project, you will get the whole question wrong. Each hypothesis must contain a comparison of one of the factors in your scale. You can compare two different factors or a factor plus a demographic (for example). Wording for Correlations & Regressions: NULL: This is no relationship (correlation) between _____________________ and gender. HYPO: This is a relationship between (correlation) _____________________ and gender.

 With correlations and especially regressions, you can have more than one factor compared.

WORDING FOR DECISION RULE…. These are not tests, but words to describe the Reject/Do Not Reject Status p-VALUE approach Given that the sig. (xx) is greater than the alpha (.xx), the NULL cannot be rejected therefore there is no support for the HYPO that (paste HYPO here) OR

Given that the sig. (xx) is less than the alpha (.xx), the NULL is rejected therefore there is support for the HYPO that (paste HYPO here) Let us NOW look for the wording of the decision rule A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SURVEY IS BEING USED…. Given that the sig. xx is less than the alpha of .05, the NULL hypothesis is rejected and therefore there is support for the HYPO that (insert HYPO) Given that the sig. xx is greater than the alpha of .05, the NULL hypothesis is not rejected and therefore there is no support for the HYPO that (insert HYPO) Don’t get fancy and start using words like the HYPO is accepted or is true…just stay with these simple phrases…and remember-there are no absolutes in this HYPO testing game…that is why we use the concept of SUPPORT for a hypothesis.

CORRELATION:

"Flag Significant Correlations"- this is a great tool since it tells you when to reject!! REGRESSION

FYI- when you run a regression, be sure to request an ANOVA table under options. This way you know when to reject!
