Increasing Voter Turnout In Kentucky Elections, Luke Williams, Carter Stinnett, Mckenna Moore

GSP at Murray State University

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Due to significantly low voter participation in Kentucky elections (as low as 11% turnout in specific counties’ primary elections) the need to increase voter turnout in specific Kentucky counties and across the state has become paramount. Research and our team’s own understanding has led us to conclude that passing a bill that adds a voter education course to Kentucky high school graduation curriculum will better Kentucky democracy by increasing voter turnout.

Polar Dynamics, Ben Camuel, Chloe Craft, Walker Greenwald, Valerie Tran

GSP at Murray State University

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Artificial Intelligence is becoming increasingly applicable in many ways in our society, and some companies in Japan are attempting to enter the eldercare business using this technology. Several companies have developed robots to be used in nursing homes, such as Robear and Paro, but no company has yet to produce a cohesive system combining all aspects of the care needed. Polar Dynamics is endeavoring to change this by bringing a developed, all-encompassing system to the United States.

Pipeline Or Waterslide: Advancing Women Into Executive Positions In Business And Financial Planning, Shannon Maura Domski

Celebration of Learning

We seek to understand the continued lack of females in upper management or “C-Suite” positions in business and more specifically looking at the continued lack of female planners in the financial planning industry. We hypothesis that although great strides are being made to foster inclusion these changes are stalled not only by unconscious prejudices against women, but also by a lack of confidence by women themselves. By conducting interviews with over a dozen women in a variety of executive and planning positions we attempted to bring a consensus of some of the root causes of this imbalance as well as …

Measuring Performance In Supply Chain Management, Rabeeb Rahman

Student Research Symposium

Logistics is the movement of raw materials, in-process inventory finished goods and supplies from their origin to the point of final consumption. Supply-chain management is the design and management of seamless, value added processes across organizational boundaries to meet the real needs of the end customer. A challenging task for an organization is determining what to measure. When an organization focuses on a particular issue or process it can better identify what needs to be done and then can better do it. Supply management addresses the issue of figuring out which performance measurements to employ and how to create them. …

The Impact Of Goal Settings And Groups To Support Small Businesses: Experimental Evidence Using Female Entrepreneurs In Abuja Nigeria., Nneoma Nwobilor, Imuetinyan Aiguwurhuo

Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD

"About 57% of women in Nigeria from age 15-64 are involved in some form of employment (World Bank, 2016). Most of these women are involved in informal entrepreneurship due to lack of education. These women who have no access to schooling are forced to find informal work to provide for themselves and their families (World Bank, 2016). This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of goal settings and support groups on small businesses among female small-scale business owners in Abuja Nigeria. The experimental research conducted used the experimental design created by the Family Independence Initiative of Oakland to explore ways …
