Chosen Case Study Research Question

How has the content and appearance of Google changed over time?

Case Study Selection Rationale

The case study on the changes in appearance and content of Google Search, Google’ primary website, over the years is selected because of four reasons. Firstly, Google has witnessed the most profound changes in its search algorithm. This multinational technology giant has consistently tweaked and fine-tuned its search algorithm, facilitating the customization of its websites’ features and appearance. This has greatly influenced its website design transformation. Secondly, Google changes the definitions, content, and configurations of Google Search frequently, making it the website that best befits the selected research question.

Thirdly, this search giant’s primary website provides the best tool for extracting rich snippets of any information and online content that one wishes to search from the Internet (Enginess, 2016). Lastly, this website is selected for the case study research endeavor because it offers the best web experience in universal usefulness and accessibility. This means that with Google controlling virtually every Internet aspect, its website offers exceptional experiences for online information organization, online information search, and information relevance.

Data Obtainment Methods

Many data collection methods exist, but those used in collecting data about changes in Google Search’s content and appearance in this case study research are website tracking, web analytics, and online surveys. The website tracking data collection approach entails a non-invasive and in-website data obtainment technique that gathers data based on website traffic, website content ratings, cookie information, website user data points, and other elements. This method is suitable for data collection in this research because it gathers data on website structure, content, language, content user authentication, multiple sites’ services, third party content provisioning, website information architecture, website usability testing, content personalization, and web documents’ style (Bujlow et al., 2015; Ermakova et al., 2018; Nermend et al., 2013).

The web analytics method collects website-related data using web analytics packages such as Google Analytics. These packages collect data via approaches that leverage log files and JavaScript (Murdock, 2006). The log file method in web analytics collects data by tracking files routinely stored on the target website hosts’ server. The JavaScript method of web analytics-based data collection encompasses leveraging JavaScript code included with the website. The code tracks and collects website-related data and sends it to web analytics service providers from where processed analytics of the website can be sourced (Turner, 2010). Both web analytics-based methods collect data on website traffic (visitor numbers, visit durations, visitor behaviors, visitor activity), content visited, website media, content metrics (benchmarks, key performance indicators, and indices), and other website elements (Booth & Jansen, 2010; Kaushik, 2009).

The online survey method collects data about the website content and appearance changes either by creating flexible and customizable surveys embedded on the host website or using a third party. Online surveys are a convenient data collection method because they can be administered via multiple channels, including shared links on websites, social media, emails, and webpage popups. The merits of leveraging online survey for collecting data on this website include quick returns, easy access to broad and geographically dispersed populations, and simplified data entry. Other advantages are convenience, flexibility, data collection timeliness and speed, survey customization, ongoing digital research innovations, and inquiry diversity (Evans & Mathur, 2018).

Ethical Challenges and Implications of Using These Methods

The principal ethical challenge of using these methods is the data privacy and security concern. Collecting data using the web analytics-based method that relies on JavaScript codes raises privacy issues because it entails placing cookies (first party and third party cookies) on unsuspecting website users’ devices and channeling that data to independent companies for storage and review (Murdock, 2006). Another ethical challenge of using these digital data collection methods is user consent. Placing such cookies on users’ device without their consent can culminate in personal data compromises, leading to anonymity and confidentiality issues relating to personal data (Florea & Florea, 2020; Hand, 2018).

Data handling is the third ethical challenge. It requires adopting safeguarding practices such as storage location, data encryption, pseudonym usage, and secure server technologies to ensure data regarding the target website stays safe (Facca et al., 2020). Other ethical challenges associated with using these methods include data ownership (influenced by website copyright) and purpose of use specifications. One implication of employing these methods involves verifying the trustworthiness and validity of the website-related data gathered. Other implications entail delineating data collection lawfulness, determining data property explicitness or ownership rights (differentiating between data user and data-owner), and the aspects of data portability, data sharing, and data reuse (Facca et al., 2020; Florea & Florea, 2020; Hand, 2018).

Research Findings

The research findings indicates that Google Search’s content and appearance have greatly evolved since its inception in 1998. Between this year and 2001, the website’s appearance included only its registered trademark, simple graphics, and adwords (Ionos, Inc., 2018). Its content incorporated only a few million webpages from the 25 million webpages that constituted the web (Khan, 2018). Between 2001 and 2005, the website’s appearance became more complex to include new elements such as news feeds, synonymy developers, location maps, product promotion features, and stock quotes. The content also advanced, moving from simple keywords to longer and tailored conversations (Khan, 2018). From 2004 to 2009, this website progressed in content and appearance to include features for universal search, sports and movie chronologies, patent development, video, Google search application, weather, and flight (Ionos, Inc., 2018).

Its content expanded from conversations to camera enabled content following advancements in visual recognition technology. By 2013, the website’s appearance and content were more sophisticated, as they included featured snippets such as Google instance search, search engine optimization (SEO), customized search tools, advanced desktop voice search, knowledge graphing, and image-based search (Ionos, Inc., 2018). Today, Google Search is one of the most advanced websites and search engines, with artificially intelligent search options, image carousels, algorithmic webpage filtering, mobile friendly sites, (Enginess, 2016), multiple machine learning-based Google apps, search engine results organization and updating, and other complex content and appearance developments that allow Google to control sites everywhere.

Brief Project Expansion Commentary

I might expand this project in three ways. The first is the integration of other scientific research methods, including quantitative, qualitative, or mix-research methods. The second is by brainstorming the research project with available references (peers, experts, industry specialists, and others) and incorporating their suggestions. The third entials visiting several topical guides on the topic for additional inquiry insights into the project.

Leadership Style Choice in Managing the Highlighted Project TeamOng et al. (2009) emphasise that project managers’ leadership styles, together with the application of project management techniques and tools, governance support, and project risk management are critical project success determinants. Among the six leadership styles discussed by Scheid (2011), I would choose the team leader and authoritative leadership styles over the democratic, all for one & one for all, and pacesetter leadership styles in managing the project team at Acorn Industries (Kerzner, 2006). This company underwent significant project management changes that could align well with these two leadership styles.

Tools and Techniques for Influencing the Project TeamWong (2007) proposes seven team-facilitation tools and techniques some of which I could leverage as a project manager to influence and advance the project team at Acorn Industries. The first is the technique of going slow to go fast, which entails an early investment in time to organise and clarify things before launching the project to enable the project team to move faster once the project commences (Wong, 2007). The second technique entails opening and narrowing team members’ thinking. The third technique involves breaking team stalemates by knowing what to do when the project team cannot make decisions. Another tool that would be vital in influencing the project team is the use of process checks.

Tools and Techniques for Managing CommunicationWhen commencing projects at Acorn Industries, individuals within impact groups, communities, and influential stakeholders outside the enterprise are involved. Also, once the project is complete, communication with parties outside the project group continues to relay information about the project evaluation and monitoring, including project benefits. Two tools and two techniques are deemed appropriate for managing communication outside of the Acorn project group. The first tool is a formal communications plan. The second tool includes various electronic communications means such as instant messaging, videoconference, web conferencing, and emails geared towards reaching remote stakeholders with important project information. Regarding communication management techniques, I would employ communications management analysis and scheduled meetings.

Power Types in Motivating the Project TeamAmong the five types of power described by Shenoy (2016), the two I would employ to motivate the team members to work collaboratively and impact the project success at Acorn Industries are the reward and expert power.

Approaches to Developing Self-Managed Teams for Agile ProjectsAgile projects deal with complex computational iterations and coding for software developments. Four approaches are essential to creating such teams, namely, hiring agile-oriented talent, empowering the team to collaborate, creating forums for innovation, and maintaining consistent, clear, and feedback-cantered communication.

Reasons for Selecting These ApproachesThe reasons for selecting these approaches revolved around the teams’ contribution to project success, the importance of team creativity, and the value of feedback-centred communication for team success.

Steps in Alleviating Challenges Faced By Project TeamsThey include making a focused execution strategy, reviewing skills, responsibilities, and accountability, refining project goals to ensure alignment with team efforts, providing proper and adequate information and resources, and identify and manage risk factors.

Ascertainment and U.S. Elections Transition Process

Ascertainment as defined under the U.S. elections laws is the process through which administrator of the federal General Services Administration ascertains the “apparent successful candidate” in the general election and the siting president begins the transition process. This process is well documented and all presidents are required to honor it to ensure that the country remains peaceful and the incoming leader is able to take powers in the most convenient way possible. One of the major reasons for the Ascertainment is to ensure that there is no power vacuum and the country remain under good leadership that is essential for security matters (Rinfret et al., 1364). “An election cannot give a country a firm sense of direction if it has two or more national parties which merely have different names, but are as alike in their principals and aims as two peas in the same pod.” The formal presidential transition doesn’t begin until the administrator of the federal General Services Administration ascertains the “apparent successful candidate” in the general election. Neither the Presidential Transition Act nor federal regulations specify how that determination should be made.

Trump’s agency tasked with the transition process is yet to begin its work and this is creating worries among many people. The major reason for the delays is because President Trump is yet to publicly admit defeat after the November 2020 elections. The danger here is that Biden’s team will have difficult time after they take power because of the short time they will get to familiarize themselves with the government affairs. Under the U.S. election laws, the sitting president is required by law to help in the transition process by helping the incoming president with the key tools required in handling the government. To this date, Trump and his team have adamantly refused to own up this role and this is harming the core essence of Ascertainment. This is deeply analyzed by a quote that was put forward in trying to define democracy; “A government of laws, and not of men.”—John Adams Still, the failure to engage with the incoming president has delayed the vital processes that would allow the country address key issues like the pandemic and racial divisions. The Ascertainment is thus a vital process that should be honored at al cost as it endures that the country’s governing cycle remain strong (Sievert & McKee 1057).

It is the high time the country unites and realizes that there are more challenges that divide Americans (Rinfret et al., 1357). One of the best legacies Trump can leave behind is to bridge that division by first accepting the outcome of the results and working with the President Elect to bring the country together. One of the underlying issues in the U.S. is the hurting economy and the worried Americans pressured by Covid-19 pandemic. In a time when an urgent solution to the high number of deaths and infections is needed, a smooth transition would be a great step to healing. Today’s the U.S. is more divided than ever, to counting the biting danger of the pandemic that has left many jobless and many families unable to out up with life (Abramowitz et al., 12). There is a need to ensure that the country gets going to ensure that its global image is upheld as the global super power.

The solution to this lies in Trump’s administration to accept begin the transition process by allowing the incoming administration to access vital tools they need in fighting the pandemic and governing the country. It is so worrying that most Americans believe that trump may refuse to hand over power peacefully that would push the country into more internal chaos amid the intensifying Covid-19. To start with, the trump’s administration needs to lay their ambitions aside and come to the rescue of the country’s image and future that for now looks tainted globally due to the November 2020 election.

As population increases the needs of housing, electricity, motor cars will also increase

As population increases the needs of housing, electricity, motor cars will also increase. This means that more and more of fossil fuels which generate the much needed energy to power homes and a variety of other things that use energy will have to be increased. This energy resource has to be limited in use and conserved for the future so we will have to look at alternate sources of energy generation like bio gas, solar power, wind power etc to meet the growing needs of the people. Looking for alternate sources of power will help not only in less worry for countries all over the world but it will also be able to conserve the fast depleting fossil fuel energy resources. Since the heat of the sun and wind are natural resources and cannot be depleted, they are the best alternates to meet the needs of the growing population. The over dependence on non renewable resources of energy has made consumers of energy look out for alternate sources of renewable energy. Two different energy alternatives to fossil fuels are solar energy and wind energy. These are alternatives because they are freely available and are non exhaustible. Population increase can be easily countered by using these alternates.

Women Entrepreneurship Conference.

Today, I had a remarkable experience at the International Women Conference here in Abu Dhabi. This is one of the most educating and insightful women’s conference I have ever attended. Indeed, women are just built different. How the presenters managed to weave fun with serious business is exhilarating. This is exactly why women should be given opportunity to take leadership positions in entrepreneurship spaces. As Adom and Anambane (2019) explain, culture and gender stereotyping affect women’s journey in entrepreneurship in Ghana, which is actually a reflection what is happening larger Africa and other parts of the world. Also, a report by World Economic Forum (2018) on the Global Gender Gap taking into account economic opportunity, political growth, health, training, and survival, as indicators show that in 2018, there was a 68% gender gap. The wage gap is almost 51%, and in 2018 women in leadership positions were only 34%. The same is also true for 2020 (Global Gender Gap score stands at 68.6%) (World Economic Forum, 2020). I do agree with Ms. Arym’s statement that given opportunity, women are more likely than men to start and own businesses. However, as shown in the reports, women’s effort to climb higher the ladder of entrepreneurial leadership is heavily curtailed by gender gap in various economic indicators. Anyway, I can’t wait for tomorrow’s session.

Behavioral Study of Obedience

By Stanley Milgram

This article presents a behavioral study on the issue of obedience in human beings. Primarily the study conducted aims at discovering the degree to which individuals can be obedient to those in authority. Throughout the article readers are taken through the procedure for the study conducted, the assumptions of the study, as well as, the results attained after the completion of the study. The general procedure of the study involves ordering one subject to administer electric shock to another in a gradual manner. The study was conducted in the Yale University ground with the subjects included 40 males between the ages 20 and 50. The chosen subjects were of diverse racial and professional backgrounds, and they were obtained through a newspaper advertisement.

The procedure involved the separation of subjects into two main groups including naïve subjects and victims. The naïve subjects were given the responsibility of administering shock to the victims, under instruction from the experimenter. The experimenter provided all participants with the rationale for the study, which is the effect of punishment on obedience, as well as, the relationship between teachers and learners. Those selected to be victims were then subjected to a gradually increasing electrical shock administered by the naïve subjects. The naïve subjects would then be commanded to increase the electrical voltage until the point where the subject refuses to do so, or put simply, disobeys the commands of the experimenter. The assumptions of the study were that naïve subjects would at one point disobey the commands of the experimenter, with a very small number continuing to administer the shock when in high voltage. The results were as per the assumption with more than half of the participants quitting the experiment before it was over.

Effect of the Scientific Style of Writing

Evidently, the author embraces a scientific writing style when writing this article. As compared to other styles of writing, the scientific writing style is complex and sometimes hard to understand for the readers. For that reason, this style of writing may confuse the readers, especially when trying to understand the concept of the message being passed on to them. Scientific writing supports the use of numeric data and figures, something that readers may not be comfortable having to be subjected to. For example the section regarding the shock generator is very confusing, as it contains a number of scientific definitions of tools and objects to be used in the study. The provision of this only confuses the readers, and it is not prerequisite in the article. Instead of putting so much emphasis on describing the scientific aspects of the experiment, the author would have simply explained the procedure and left out the nitty-gritty descriptions of the tools to be used during the study. However, scientific writing gives the impression that the study was conducted by professionals who were well aware of the need for the study. Additionally, it provides the necessary reliability and validity regarding the study. The use of scientific writing in the article suggests that the article is legitimate and exhaustive, as it is supported by scientific data. Accordingly, readers will have the notion that what is being written is truth, meaning that the results are also true.

Bullying in the classroom

The article being reviewed is by Simon Mallory, about an eleven year old boy, who committed suicide, after being bullied at school. Jaheem committed suicide in the year 2009, on the 16th day of April. On the day he died, he did want to neither attend school nor eat. He attended school at Georgia, in an elementary school known as Dunaire. He was extremely outgoing and on that day, came happy, from school. He gave his mother Bermudez a report card and the results showed that he had passed. This was a happy occasion and later on, he went to his room, while the mother made dinner. Later, he was called to eat, but there was no response from him. Jaheem’s mother and sister went to his room only to find out that he had committed suicide. He hanged himself using his belt (Mallory, 2009).

The reason for committing suicide was that he was being bullied at school. The bullies used to call him names such as virgin, ugly and gay. Jaheem had told his mother about the issue, which seemed to affect him greatly. It seems that the bullying had become extreme to the point whereby, the only solution was to end his life (Mallory, 2009). At some point, he had decided that his mother should not become involved in this matter. The number of complaints by him had reached up to eight times. Despite all this attempts, nothing much was done, as he ended up committing suicide.

Jaheem wanted to make friends, as well as acquire an education, but his shyness seemed to be an obstacle in his life. He liked having fun, dancing as well as making friends. It seemed that he attracted the attention of bullies, due to his traits as well as personality. Nothing was done to the bullies to stop them (Mallory, 2009). There was no one who did anything beneficial to save Jaheem. Jaheem believed that he was alone in this problem, thus the reason to end his life. This shows that bullying in classroom is an issue, which needs to be solved, as the consequences are detrimental.

After the death of Jaheem, the issue on bullying became vital to the school board. They wanted to ensure that the students in the school were in an environment, which is nurtured. Also, they ensured that a safe environment for the students existed (Mallory, 2009). This meant that bullying would not be condoned. Death was the only solution to his problem of bullying according to the best friend. It is extremely unfortunate how bullying can cause the death of a young boy such as Jaheem. This means that children are being affected by bullying when they are in school. They suffer and nothing is being done to make sure that this issue is eliminated.

Learning is usually disrupted by bullying, as the students are not able to focus. Schools should come with programs, which reduce bullying .This will in turn ensure that the bullies attitudes as well as behaviors are changed to become positive (Mallory, 2009). The program also seeks to ensure that teachers intervene in cases of bullying and also, reduce behaviors which are anti-social. Strategies should be enforced to ensure that children are not being bullied while at school. If such strategies had existed at Jaheem’s school, he would be alive.
