DIVISIONAL PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT The objective of divisional performance measurement is to develop performance measurement systems for divisions that are significant investment centers in large organizations. Such systems should: (1) provide information for economic decisions‚ (2) facilitate the control of division operations‚ (3) motivate managers to achieve high levels of divisional performance so as to further the objectives of the entire organization‚ and (4) serve as a basis for evaluating

LAQ – Reliability of Memory Discuss‚ with reference to relevant research studies‚ the extent to which memory is reliable. This paper will evaluate the extent to which memory is reliable.

VIBRATION MEASUREMENT In some practical situations‚ it might be difficult to develop a mathematical model of the system and predict its vibration characteristics through an analytical study. In such cases‚ we can use experimental methods to measure the vibration response of the system to a known input. This helps in identifying the system in terms of its mass‚ stiffness‚ and damping. In practice the measurement of vibration becomes necessary for the following reasons: 1. The increasing demands

outcome (increased class participation). Validity is in four types and these are: Conclusion‚ Construct‚ Internal and external validity. Conclusion validity tries to find out the relationship between a program and the observed outcome. For instance‚ a connection between Re-entry policy and increased failure rate in schools. Construct validity looks at the extent to which a test measures what it claims or intend to measure. Internal validity refers to how well an experiment has been done and the extent

Internal Validity is” the approximate truth about inferences regarding cause-effect or causal relationships” (Trochim‚ 2016). Internal validity is considered at the time of the investigation that measures the results of social programs or interventions. Internal validity observes positive and negative results in order to improve or eliminate services. Therefore
