Assignment 3: Preliminary Thoughts about a Theoretical FrameworkCreswell (2009) described the theoretical framework as a rainbow arc, bridging the dependent and independent variables to provide an overarching explanation of how and why the independent variable may predict [or affect] the dependent variable. It will help to review Creswell’s definitions of dependent and independent variables [Chap.3, p. 50], which were also pointed out in the M1.A2 Discussion about setting up your potential research questions using the relational model.To further explain Creswell’s rainbow arc metaphor with an example: If the independent variable in a relational research question is types of classroom educational practices and the dependent variable is student success in learning, envision how a theory like Gardner?s theory of multiple intelligences could be the theoretical framework or rainbow arc a researcher might use as a possible explanatory link for how one variable predicts the other. In this case, the theoretical perspective is that multiple intelligence theory applied to classroom educational practices could impact student success in learning. Since there are many possible theories that could connect these two variables, can you see how focusing on a single theory might focus this research question?Another example from your recent article critique: Consider how Langer (2002) used theories about the concept of reflection, under his heading, ?The Concept of Reflection in Learning,? as a theoretical/conceptual framework, or lens, as a way to frame the concept of journals as a learning tool for adults (p. 338), citing definitions of reflection from different researchers. He could have taken quite a different approach with different theories, for example, adult learning theories, for his ?rainbow arc? to connect the variables that framed the research question for his study.As you read the literature on your own research topic, look at the different variables researchers have used in their research questions, and note how they have connected relevant theories to focus or frame the relationship between the variables. These are theoretical or conceptual frameworks at work!The reading assignment for this week includes Chapter 3, ?The Use of Theory,? in Creswell (2009), where theory is defined and framed, based on its uses in different kinds of empirical research, i.e. quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. Reviewing this carefully can help to give you a useful context for the concept of theory and theoretical framework, as well as his brief definitions of dependent and independent variables [p.50], as mentioned above. Discuss why a theoretical framework is important for a research study and in developing a literature review.What were the key variables in Langer’s study and how did having a clear theoretical framework help Langer (2002) focus his study more effectively?Using the article you critiqued in Module 3 Assignment 2, identify the theoretical framework the author used to connect the key variables. Keep in mind that you should typically be able to find the theoretical framework in the literature review section if it is an empirical article. Post your response directly to the Discussion in a narrative format. Respond to a minimum of two peer responses.Please make sure you review the elements of the grading criteria and associated points carefully and make sure your assignment has addressed all the elements and in enough detail to merit full points.

Only use the reference I attached for the case study. No need to search for material outside the pdf.I DON’T NEED ANYTHING SUPERB, JUST ORIGINAL AND MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS.ÿScenario/SummaryVisa Inc. in the 1990s was a company that specialized in electronic funds transfers throughout the world through their Visa-branded credit cards. The company does not issue cards, extend credit, or set rates and fees for consumers; it only provides financial institutions with Visa-branded payment products that they then use. In early 2000, the company greatly expanded its offerings through the use of debit, prepaid, and cash-access programs to their customers. Within 10 years, Visa held 60% (Nilson report) of the debit card marketplace in the United States processe?over 20 billion transactions a year. This major expansion and branching of their product line has resulted in major issues for management.The implementation of IT strategies was a major task. The wide variety of technical skills, including IT and banking expertise, along with systems integration with their alliances, and joint venture partners in the industry made a monumental task. The CIO developed policy, explored and evaluated technology, prepared the company for the appropriate technology, and successfully managed the expansion into debit, prepaid, and cash-access programs. This week, you should focus on the chief information officer’s efforts and the supply chain management issues, the role of chief information officer (CIO), and how his role interacted with development efforts within supply chain management (SCM). Focus on the CIO’s responsibilities for this effort in supply chain management, and in particular, the transfer of information and the sharing of information across the supply chain.Your deliverable this week will be a completed case study (3?5 pages) submitted on Visa Push to the Use of the Debit Card. A sample template for the case study is available in Doc Sharing.Case Study StepsSTEP 1: Research IssuesIn this step, you need to find out the questions “what” and “how” of Visa’s push towards debit and cash cards. Start with some basic research on the company and its market: Research into this company will require you to understand the basic differences between debit and credit transactions as well as how financial transactions are transmitted. Keep in mind that debit cards are connected to a personal bank account while a credit card is connected to the bank or financial institution that issued the card (not Visa). With this difference, how does a cash card work and why is it different than a debit card?STEP 2: Write the StudyUse the case study template to complete a 3?5 page report on your research. ÿ Include the sections listed below as needed.Introduction?a brief introduction into the company and its situationIssue/Problems?identify all the issues or problems faced by the company for the expansion of servicesActions Taken?what was the company’s response on dealing with the issues?Results?what were the results of the company’s efforts? Did they work? Why or why not?References?list all research references usedDon’t forget to proof and fact-check your case study. If you are using quotes from sources or data from an unreliable source, you should attempt to find a better source or remove them. This is sometimes called “establishing rigor.” Make sure your case study is credible, transferable, verifiable, and dependable.

In order to facilitate your analysis, you have been provided with a data set (see LMS) from the, Singapore Department of Statistics that shows resident death (,mortality,) rates by a number of different variables.,You have been ask ed to conduct several specific analyses:,1. How has the infant mortality rate in Singapore changed since 1999, and how does it compare with that of five of Singapore’s near neighbours?,2. How has the mortality rate of residents under the age of 5 in Singapore changed since 1999, and how does it compare with that of five other countries (other than those you compared with in Q1)?,3. What were the most common causes of death in Singapore for residents in the 40-60 year are bracket in 2016?,You have also been ask ed to provide at least two other insights relevant to the mortality of Singapore residents you develop from your analysis.,If you have questions about the data, please post them to your group’s discussion forum where the UC will answer them as best as possible.,You will require additional data in order to perform your analyses. You should attempt to procure it for yourself. There is no limit as to what or how many, data sources you use for this project. Whenever you do include an additional data source, you must ensure that you include the relevant metadata in the, Appendix (see Section 1f of the Report Specification).,When students have attempt ed this project in the past, they have express ed concern about how poorly the data are structure d, and how the data they, found from other sources was not formatted “correctly”.
