      "body": "![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSueYCPR3rtcFfA9ySeP3xy7vqaWRjY1tM8WsUTuEAQTS/image.png)\n\nAs the price of Bitcoin, which is currently valued at over $10,000 per coin, continues to see exponential rise, economic connotations about the mass-scale adoption of cryptocurrency have emerged in in the public’s imagination over the last two or three years, as many industry thought-leaders and business titans have been publicly supporting the effort to develop key pieces of technology on the blockchain distributed ledger network. Using these new virtual ecosystems to securely manage transactions without relying on central third-party institutions, the tech community is attempting to change the way finance works for merchants, consumers, and for individuals in developing countries (Bernard, 2017). These efforts are aimed at empowering the world with long-overdue advancements in global monetary systems. This is the first time since the 17th century that new economic systems have been developed as an alternative to representative and fiat currency. \n\nHowever, the digital world we live in requires that we use our advanced technological knowledge to improve every aspect of our lives. The way in which we store value and conduct transactions should certainly be no exception. Resulting from recent calls for monetary reform and the public’s growing mistrust towards central authority, financial institutions are beginning to fundamentally reassess the ways in which they will continue to conduct business and serve customers in the future. Indeed, the race to regulate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, especially within the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) market has been more of a marathon than a sprint, with many hurdles along the way.  \nIn recent months, over 30 global regulators announced their various approaches to token sales and coin offerings (Wintermeyer, 2017). This emerging space is full of promise, as well as potential pitfalls during its infancy, as government regulations are sure to come down and stir the pot. There is Japan for example, which has 11 Bitcoin exchanges under tight regulation (Bernard, 2017). These exchanges effectively control over 60% of the global Bitcoin market (Wintermeyer, 2017). \n\nThe Chinese government, however, has banned the sale of crypto currencies and tokens all together. There are other countries making moves in alternative directions as well. To name a few: Abu Dhabi has offered guidance on regulating cryptocurrencies and ICOs on an individual case basis; the United States’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has declared that ICO tokens are subject to federal security laws (Wintermeyer, 2017). The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced that crypto assets may also be commodities; and, Switzerland and Singapore are leading the ICO market as popular destinations for startups seeking to raise funds using tokens (Wintermeyer, 2017).\nWhile these crypto currencies have certainly introduced some fascinating concepts, accountability concerns continue to linger regarding the exchange of illegal drugs, arms, and other kinds of black market activity. Some influential parties have argued that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency transactions on the blockchain ecosystem can stay under the radar of the authorities. Indeed, that is a potential downside, but there is a growing number of individuals who offer a contrarian view on the subject. Many public figures have spoken out in favor of Bitcoin and its alternatives, claiming that these digital coins have a great deal of potential to become a new fiat currency one day (Bernard, 2017). However, the most obvious concern is that people will begin using Blockchain currencies to buy big-ticket items in an effort to avoid taxation. \n\nSo, the argument really cuts both ways here. I believe the most important question will be if these kinds of cryptocurrencies are successful, what is the temptation of governments to step in with regulations, to what extent would these measures affect its’ progress? It's certainly been very interesting to watch the migration of regulatory interest across the space. First, back in 2013 we had law enforcement begin to take a public interest in regulatory measures with the rise of Silk Road and the online dark web due to its use of Bitcoin (Bernard & Eha, 2017). \nThe astronomical growth of the crypto market over the past few months has made headlines across the globe, with Bitcoin alone reaching $190 Billion, and global market charts capping out at over $350 Billion, securities regulators have been paying close attention to the up-swing in prices (coinmarketcap.com). In fact, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made this revelation during a press conference last Thursday. “I know this is something that is being monitored by our team here,” (Huckabee, 2017). This statement was made in response to a Buzzfeed reporter’s question about whether President Donald Trump believes bitcoin should receive increased regulatory attention from the government. However, tax authorities are next in line to start getting involved. Mick Mulvaney, White House budget director and acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, co-founded the bipartisan Congressional Blockchain Caucus, a bloc of lawmakers who seek to promote cryptocurrency usage at the federal legislative level (Wilmoth, 2017). \n\nAs Crypto Coin News reported, the Blockchain Caucus recently introduced the Cryptocurrency Tax Fairness Act of 2017. If passed, this bill would eliminate reporting requirements for cryptocurrency transactions worth less than $600 (Wilmoth, 2017). With regards to the law enforcement question, it’s really a double-edged sword for authorities. On the one hand, these currencies do enable privacy on dark web transactions and large sums of money can be anonymously exchanged across borders. \n\nOn the other hand, when law enforcement catches a criminal who's been using Bitcoin, and they get ahold of their software wallet, the District Attorney’s office effectively gets a full catalog of the perpetrator’s books. As a result, they may have a good chance of recovering some, if not all the funds. That's certainly not something they get with a cash criminal, where there isn't record-keeping. Therefore, law enforcement can use the blockchain to prosecute cases, and that potential has led some jurisdictions to steadily become more open to seeing crimes committed using blockchain technology (Eha, 2017). \n\nIt does, in fact, give parties involved in the effort to stop cyber-crime a discernible advantage over cash crime because it's a very transparent technology. In my opinion, that is an extremely compelling point in favor of the crypto community. Just because transactions are encrypted doesn’t mean there is no specific tag to identify and track transactions to and from each user’s wallet. \n\nAs pressures continue to grow, the speculation also grows as to what kind of threat that is to Bitcoin, and whether it can find a way to evolve with this kind of supervision & regulation from the outside. This has certainly attributed to increased volatility in the crypto markets as of late. However, it would probably be fair to assume that the people who started this whole thing don't like the state, they don't like authority, and they really want to be on their own. As we will inevitably see an encroachment on these innovative new currency approaches, alternative financial mechanisms will hopefully emerge to counteract any restrictions on progress. \n\nThe regulation of exchanges began in the spring of 2013, and initially it was a disaster. This was mostly attributed to legislators’ limited knowledge about how the Blockchain works, and what intrinsic benefits this technology could provide to all of humanity. A few influential parties have publicly stated that we would have been much further along without these regulations, claiming that this is the main way the government can control the use of Bitcoin. In my opinion, the government is not actually controlling Bitcoin. \n\nWhat they're doing is controlling the traffic between national monies, in terms of what crypto assets are coming and going, and the United States has some of the worst regulations in the world on these exchanges. Tax regulators want to see these exchanges’ books, they want to see names, and they want to see transactions. Last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley in San Francisco ruled that the tax agency’s demand for information isn’t overly intrusive (Rosenblatt, 2017). The reality is that these crypto markets are global and new technology needs new legislation to match it. \n\nThe government may need to stop trying to put digital technology into an analog old-world style regulatory framework. It is obvious that whatever is being done about the regulatory roadmap is not working towards any definitive outcome. All these efforts are really doing is driving the innovation out of this country and to other places. In fact, people can buy Bitcoin much easier in a place like Israel then anyone can in the United States or in Brazil (Rosenblatt, 2017). \t\n\nThere are exchanges all over the world. Most of them are very free and easy to use, and there's a lot of entrepreneurship and innovation sprouting from more open policies. Instead of focusing on policies that effectuate command and control, American regulators should consider taking their efforts in a different direction because they're just going to continue driving the capital outside of our borders (Eha, 2017). What is important to remember here is that Blockchain is a decentralized global technology, and it doesn’t care about the nation-state. \n\nBitcoin and all other crypto assets are already being recognized as a major threat to the all mighty dollar (Eha, 2017). This is obviously something the U.S. doesn't want to have happen. However, the days of U.S. dollar hegemony are very limited, as more bills are printed every year, and the value of our currency continues to degrade along with continued inflation. Before the United States became the reserve currency back in 1913, when they created the Federal Reserve, the British Sterling was the reserve currency of the world for over 300 years (Wintermeyer, 2017).  \n\nSome would even argue that the United States responsible for the petrol-dollar, and going off the gold standard during the Nixon era. There is a compelling amount of evidence to suggest that this has caused market distortion as a result. In fact, one might even go so far as to say that central bank policies over the past 10 years have been a great deal more destructive than constructive. Personally, I don't see that we've created growth for the trillions of dollars in debt that we've created. \n\nAs we saw in the last administration in Washington, big government is in right now. Indeed, our government is enormous, and they naturally want to overreach everything, and every part of people's lives in America. However, the only way to do that is to get an iron fist on the banking system, and make people keep all their money into a bank. This is a very dangerous thing, and that's why people are migrating to other platforms. \n\nWe're at a point in history that could be very pivotal in terms of how we move forward with financial reform. The biggest problem that people have with the government’s efforts to get a foothold on cryptocurrency is that it chooses not to regulate companies like Amazon, which dips its fingers into every different business, or companies like Facebook & Google which have become oligarchies, basically controlling the content that everybody sees and hears. This is where the regulatory agencies should be looking rather than seeking to control people's currency movements, or what they choose to invest some of their wealth into. Regulators should also look at controlling the news entities, because as the primary source of information in this country, news syndicators have morphed into more opinion and political advocacy groups than seekers of truth. \n\nWithout getting to deep into politics, I will just end with this. 160 companies used to control the media, and now it's down to 6 (Wintermeyer, 2017). One of the things I find appealing about Bitcoin is that it seems to promote ethical consensus in entrepreneurial development, which I think is a very good thing. While it certainly appeals to people that want to get out of the system and away from regulation, is it fair to say that this these cryptocurrencies would be good for innovation overall. \n\nI don't think anyone doubts that Blockchain technology has many potential benefits for mankind, and truthfully, people can argue about how bad the regulation is, but in certain markets there's been a very pro cryptocurrency attitude because of the fundamentally innovative aspects of its’ underlying technology. People are taking a much lighter touch in Switzerland, the UK, and elsewhere because of the amount of investment that's coming in to make faster, cheaper, and more tangible ways that we can make use of Blockchain technology (Wintermeyer, 2017). It’s not just about the technology itself either, but also the new funding channels that are now opening. The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) phenomenon on the aspiring new financial market for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) has taken off this year thanks to smart-contracts and proof-of-stake consensus ecosystems provided on the Ethereum network. \n\nEthereum's vertical iteration of the blockchain architecture was initially launched on July 30th, 2015. The concepts it introduced, such as self-executing contracts and the position to achieve transactional consensus for the exchange of cryptocurrency, were the brainchild of Russian programmer Vitalik Buterin, who developed the idea when he was only 19 years old.  While Ethereum investors have enjoyed over a 5,000% increase over the past 12 months, the altcoin market that it has garnered remains highly volatile, mostly as the result of a few clearly fraudulent projects. At the same time, the business applications of Ethereum are not limited to any fixed complexion or size. \n\nICOs are opening access to early-stage technology by maximizing crowdsourcing opportunities at the seed stage of development. Thanks to Ether’s platform and others like it, the stakes are open to anyone around the world with an internet connection.  Funding ideas used to be something you had to be a rich venture capitalist to be able to do. Now, if you have a computer and some cryptocurrency, you can invest in early-stage technology that may come with a high level of systemic risk in the short run, but that risk is balanced out by exceptional profit opportunities in the long run (Eha, 2017). \n\nPersonally, I would urge anyone with investment incentives to pay close attention as this extremely disruptive space is likely to continue stirring the financial pot in unexpected ways. Despite the potential of these Initial Coin Offerings, they have been smeared by the mainstream media and financial press lately. It may be true that there are some rackets, but the fact remains that ICOs are an amazing innovation that allow people to rate any business, raise money from anyone in the crypto-community without using financial intermediaries, and test markets before launching a fully developed concept or project (Eha, 2017). The amount of innovation and capital that is going to be unleashed on the planet as a result, is beyond comprehension. \nIt's inconceivable what blockchain technology could do to transform the nature of capital markets themselves over the next 10 years. The issue is that the crypto market, by which I mean the entire blockchain community, is still very much in its development stages, and because of this, some might compare it to the virtual wild west, just like the internet was in its early days. Market valuations are marked by steep exponential rises and sharp pullbacks. Because of this, Bitcoin has been labelled a speculative bubble by many, including former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan and economist John Quiggin (Eha, 2017). \nYale economics professor Robert Shiller, who won the Nobel prize for his work on bubbles has weighed in on this issue as well (Detrixhe, 2017).  He wrote a seminal book on speculative manias, Irrational Exuberance, a deep analysis of the dramas over the centuries when otherwise sane people drove prices for tulips, stocks, and houses to inexplicable heights (Detrixhe, 2017). As Shiller sees it, “big things happen if someone invents the right story and promulgates it,” (Shiller, 2017). Also, major financial players such as J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs, who are being infringed upon, and are unable to collect their fees when these offerings come out, have been spreading propaganda to incite uncertainty and mania into the market (Rosenblatt, 2017). \nWhat happens is someone makes a public example out of one ICO that fails, and the media blows it up into epic proportions. The next thing you know people are pouring onto exchanges trying to dump all their crypto assets at once, and the server inevitably crashes. The volatility and socially-officiated mania surrounding the market is contrived from people’s lack of knowledge about this new virtual space, as well as their obvious desire not to get ripped off. So, the banks push for regulation under the incentives of self-preservation. \nThey justify it with any example they can come across, telling people that the money they invest through something should be vetted by them first. The reality is that no matter what any authority or regulator tries to do, a growing number of people, especially Millennials, are opting to take managing their wealth into their own hands. When a new global technology emerges that aims to address such a fundamental aspect of our lives, there will always be winners and losers. People simply need to keep things in a clear, practical perspective in terms of risk and reward. \nIn other words, don't go out and mortgage your house and put everything into Bitcoin, or an Ethereum ICO, but look at this as a portion of your diversified portfolio. Many experts such as cyber security pioneer John McAfee and billionaire media mogul Mark Cuban have recommended investments of no more than around 10% of your savings into Bitcoin. When you get into a high-risk investment like an ICO, it is important to always do your own homework and don't ever invest in anything you don't fully understand. If you don't fully understand it, and you invest in it, then you deserve to lose what you lose. \nAs for the question of what Bitcoin and other similar currencies must do to create confidence in people who just see it as too risky, perhaps one or two steps they need to install would be patience and education (Eha, 2017). The diffusion cycle of mass-scale adoption most definitely applies here, and we can use the early 90s as an example of our collective adoption curve for profound technologies. The blockchain market is certainly in the infrastructure building phase. As for cryptocurrency and crypto commodities, just last week there were three major exchanges that experienced significant problems when users tried to sign on and exchange currencies; Coinbase, which coincidentally gained over 100,000 new accounts within a 24-hour period, & Gemini exchange, which is run out of New York by investment magnates, the Winkelvoss twins. Considering these two exchanges will be relied upon by the CME Group for their futures market, that simply can't continue to happen (Rosenblatt & Eha, 2017).\nFor this to be taken seriously by institutions, and for Bitcoin to be trusted by a broader class of individual, more capital market infrastructure, and the right balance of regulation is needed. I agree with the comments about only putting what you can afford to lose into this, because it is still very new, and consequently, very high risk. However, if the past year is any example of where Bitcoin and Blockchain is headed, we’re certainly in for an interesting ride. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n![blockshake2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeWG2i4iHTMt9um2HtaQ8WXHjWgUkXFjx7SNu8c25Sffs/blockshake2.jpg)\n\n\n\nReferences:\n\nWintermeyer, Lawrence.

      "body": "![Growth_Balloon.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVQjngVBzpy9saBf3LCkfusUZJjikucManrg5WEWoqVU6/Growth_Balloon.jpg)\n\n\nBy: Daniel R. Munro M.B.A.\n \nHistory has shown us that the most effective business survey questionnaires look professional and motivating to end-users, ask the right questions in the proper context, and provide measurable response variables by grouping them into logistical categories non-binary input. Yes or No/True or False simply doesn't make the cut anymore when it comes to gathering actionable insight about the user's perspectives, comprehension, and deriving non subjective opinions related to topics of inquiry. It is also important to articulate a distinct purpose behind the survey elements. People are becoming less and less willing to take the time out of their day to take online surveys unless the format is inviting and not intimidating and you are able to make answering the questions a clear and simple process. Finally, in terms of the viability of statistical data sets, the absolute minimum number of respondents is said to be 30 in order to make your population large enough to accurately quantify. So, while this may seem obvious, the bigger you data set, the more accurate your results will be. Luckily, we have the internet and many other ways in which surveys can be distributed and collected. It is imperative that you do whatever is necessary to  make your surveys accessible to everyone within the given target population. As I mentioned before, many of the design principles applicable to self-administered paper questionnaires can be effectively applied to Web-based questionnaires. Surveymonkey.com is a great example of the online tools that can be used for developing comprehensive and distinct surveys, distinguishing specific parameters (Which we will discuss in greater detail later in this article), distributing them across channels, and gathering the results.\n \nGREAT SURVEYS DRAW YOU IN BECAUSE THEY FOCUS ON IMPROVING  YOUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.\nTHEY CONVERSELY TIE IN WITH YOUR INTERESTS, INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DISINTERESTS, AND CONCLUDE WITH SOLUTIONS.\n\nFor example, the first question should be easy to answer, requiring no more than a few seconds of respondents’ time; the questions should progress in a logical fashion; questions relating to the same topic should be kept together; and bolding or italicizing can be used to direct participants’ attention to important words. In addition to these basic principles of good design, there are a number of important factors for Web survey designers to evaluate when constructing an online questionnaire. \n \nWeb surveys offer the opportunity to use a variety of exciting bells and whistles, including the ability to embed colorful images, video, and audio to enhance questionnaires. When it comes to designing Web-based questionnaires, however, simplicity is usually best (Dillman, 2000). Another study that I read discussed the psychological elements of survey respondents and illustrated some steps involved in the optimization of methodological research into reliability and validity of data resulting from attitude measurements is of substantial significance for others to build on in other language and cultural contexts, (Scherpenzeel and Saris, 1997).\n \nBased on an emerging agreement among social psychologists, they define attitudes as “structures in long-term memory”. Their analysis of the cognitive process that is required to answer attitude questions is based on the assertion that a four-stage process is involved on the part of the respondent. \n\nThe four stages are assumed to be the following:\n\n1. Interpretation of the question (“What is the attitude about?”).\n2. Retrieval of relevant beliefs and feelings.\n3. Application of these beliefs and feelings to generate appropriate judgment.\n4. Use of this judgment to formulate response.\n\nAn understanding of this process is deemed necessary for the understanding of the reliability of respondents’ answers to attitudinal questions. Each of these stages is likely to be influenced by psychological variables that, in turn, may be recompensed with the data collection method (Fowler, 1995). According to the National EMSC Data Analysis Resource Center website some respondents can easily run into difficulties deciphering the meaning of a question that uses two negative words. For example, \"Should the pizza restaurant not be responsible for not taking out the trash?\"\n \nThe question is ambiguous; almost any answer will be even more so. You also want to avoid the use of too many abbreviations, acronyms, or jargon. By using technical terms in your survey you run the risk of lower response rates. It is also important not to ask objectionable or value-laden questions that may incline respondents answer emotionally, without regard for the context in which a given term is used.\n \n![digital-transformation.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUCTCVRPWMi9p9HSqRZvn6MEkZDwiKPGScsx8m6otgavS/digital-transformation.png)\n\nIf you ask people's attitudes toward a specific government social program and characterize it as \"liberal\" or \"conservative,\" people are likely to react to their feelings about \"liberal\" or \"conservative\" and not about the program itself (http://www.nedarc.org). In extension to this, survey questionnaires must avoid asking leading questions that suggest an answer, because this could end up pushing a subtle bias on the respondents. Also, you don’t want to ask open-ended questions unless it is absolutely necessary. Including too many open-ended questions will seriously change your response rate.\n \nOpen-Ended Questions.\n\nAnswering open- ended questions requires more time and thought than selecting answers from a pre-existing list of alternatives. The responses to open ended questions are also more difficult to analyze. The last two faults or “don’ts” of survey questionnaires that I will mention are double-barreled questions, which contain two or more distinct questions, but allow only one answer resulting in either a non-response or a response that is hard to interpret. The final things that you want to avoid in writing surveys are hypothetical questions.\n \nPeople usually have problems in answering questions that relate to circumstances they have not experienced. For example, asking people how they would feel about certain topics if they were living in a different culture with different values and norms is difficult to answer. In conclusion; keep it simple, concise, non-bias, and universally relevant to your strategically sampled respondents.\n \n=> The Statistical Strategy\n\n> The Likert-Scale:\n\nOver the years, numerous methods have been used to measure character and personality traits (Likert, 1932). The difficulty of measuring attitudes, character, and personality traits lies in the procedure for transferring these qualities into a quantitative measure for data analysis purposes. The recent popularity of qualitative research techniques has relieved some of the burden associated with the dilemma; however, many social scientists still rely on quantitative measures of attitudes, character and personality traits.\n\nIn response to the difficulty of measuring character and personality traits, Likert (1932) developed a procedure for measuring attitudinal scales. The original Likert scale used a series of questions with five response alternatives: strongly approve (1), approve (2), undecided (3), disapprove (4), and strongly disapprove (5). He combined the responses from the series of questions to create an attitudinal measurement scale. His data analysis was based on the composite score from the series of questions that represented the attitudinal scale. He did not analyze individual questions. While Likert used a five-point scale, other variations of his response alternatives are appropriate, including the deletion of the neutral response (Clason & Dormody, 1994).\n\nLikert-Type Versus Likert Scales\n\nClason and Dormody (1994) described the difference between Likert-type items and Likert scales. They identified Likert-type items as single questions that use some aspect of the original Likert response alternatives. While multiple questions may be used in a research instrument, there is no attempt by the researcher to combine the responses from the items into a composite scale. Table 1 provides an example of five Likert-type questions.\n\n> Five Likert-Type Answers for quantitative analysis:\n\n \tStrongly Disagree\tDisagree\tNeutral\tAgree\tStrongly Agree\n\n\n![likart.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXXzYrxE9mSG9Etej5ibjFa6LydQhKEZuGUUPPWrDch1P/likart.gif)\n\n\n*****Dig Even Deeper Into Your Survey Statistics:\n\n> Nominal-Scales:\n\nReferred to as the Steven's Scale of Measurement (Ary, Jacobs, & Sorenson, 2010). This input analysis technique consists of four categories: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.\n\nIn the nominal scale, observations are assigned to categories based on equivalence. Numbers associated with the categories serve only as labels. Examples of nominal scale data include gender, eye color, and race. \n\n- Ordinal scale observations are ranked in some measure of magnitude. Numbers assigned to groups express a \"greater than\" relationship; however, how much greater is not implied. The numbers only indicate the order. Examples of ordinal scale measures include letter grades, rankings, and achievement (low, medium, high). \n\n- Interval scale data also use numbers to indicate order and reflect a meaningful relative distance between points on the scale. Interval scales do not have an absolute zero. An example of an interval scale is the IQ standardized test. \n\n- A ratio scale also uses numbers to indicate order and reflects a meaningful relative distance between points on the scale. A ratio scale does have an absolute zero. Examples of ratio measures include age and years of experience.\n\nSurvey Factor Analysis At the Highest-Levels:\nThe Hedonic Model Takes You Even Deeper....\n\n\n\n9-Point Hedonic Scale \n\n- Like Extremely\n- Like Very Much \n- Like Moderately \n- Like Slightly \n- Neither Like nor Dislike \n- Dislike Slightly \n- Dislike Moderately \n- Dislike Very Much \n- Dislike Extremely\n\nTable 1.\n\n![Hedonic_SurveyScale.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUdtEEzc5oDKwbjz9BPFVgFVG8RgsWCvKyr8UvZQM7YJV/Hedonic_SurveyScale.png)\n\nAnchoring of the 9 point hedonic scale:\n\nTable 2.\n\n![Table-1-Category-anchoring-of-the-9-point-hedonic-scale.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTpQ1hMDP6MXWXZ9p6QQtN86bDQWqhrmFZda6Wstm8Hce/Table-1-Category-anchoring-of-the-9-point-hedonic-scale.png)\n\nFor those with a background in Statistics, the Hedonic scale is able to provide much Higher accuracy due to the following: E(f)^x=N(E)^x\n\nHedonic Overview:\n\nThe hedonic scale was the result of extensive research conducted at the Quartermaster and the University of Chicago. Jones, Peryam & Thurstone back in 1955. Their findings showed that longer scales, up to nine intervals, tended to be more discriminating than shorter scales, and there was some indication that a scale with eleven intervals would be even more effective. The nine-point version became the standard at the Quartermaster, because it fit better on the typing paper used to print the ballots.\n \nThe verbal anchors of the scale were selected so that the psychological distance between successive scale points is approximately equal2. This equal-interval property helps justify the practice of analyzing the responses by assigning successive integer values (1, 2, 3, … up to 9) to the scale points and testing differences in average acceptability using parametric statistics. The reliability, validity and discriminative ability of the scale was proven in food acceptance tests with soldiers in the field and in the laboratory, as well as in large-scale food preference surveys.\n \nThere have been several extensions of the 9-point hedonic scale. 4 showed that a scale with nine “child friendly” verbal anchors ranging from “super good” to “super bad” performed better with 5-10 year old children than either the original 9-point scale or a scale utilizing “smiley” faces. The original nine 9-point scale has also been translated into several foreign languages (5 so far). It should be noted that the properties of the original 9-point scale do not necessarily apply to the translations of the scale. Ideally, research similar to that conducted by Peryam and colleagues should be conducted to select the verbal anchors and to confirm the reliability, validity, and discriminative ability of the proposed scale. At minimum, it is recommended that research be conducted to confirm that the rank order of the verbal anchors is unambiguous among the intended test population.\n\n\nStay Up on Business Strategy and Expert Survey Development \nVisit The BOVI Consultancy Services Website at:\nhttps://www.bovipros.com/ \n\n ![Bovi_Logo_New7-27_1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaLL4tzKNgRm5jtruaeLUS5B1hucwqkiN48gGqm4t443D/Bovi_Logo_New7-27_1.png)\n\nWeb Sources:\n\n- https://www.joe.org/joe/2012april/tt2.php\n- http://www.sensorysociety.org/knowledge/sspwiki/Pages/The%209-point%20Hedonic%20Scale.aspx\n- http://www.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/14496_Chapter5.pdf (Links to an external site.)\n- http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/circulars/ec008/workshop_h.pdf (Links to an external site.)\n- http://www.nedarc.org/media/pdf/survey_survey_design.pdf (Links to an external site.)\n\nReferences: \n\n1 Peryam, D.R. and Girardot, N.F. 1952.

Munro M.B.A.\n\n![digital-transformation.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUCTCVRPWMi9p9HSqRZvn6MEkZDwiKPGScsx8m6otgavS/digital-transformation.png)\n \nThe purpose of this article is to illustrate the correlations between historical periods of revolutionary change. Using the leading research data, industry experts, and academic resources, I have attempted to paint a concise and accurate representation about the future of Technology, Policies & Unity of Thought as a result of \"The Automation Effect.\" \n \nWhatever stage you are at in life, or environment from which you are product of,\nfew could deny, this is truly an incredible time to be alive. \n \nWe are in the midst of a New RenAIssance of Social Cause;\n \nGiven the innovative mindset which has come to define the very nature of American culture, it is hard to argue that any form of ideology could possibly be seen as detrimental to the future of humanity.  Whenever I ask my clients what they think about Artificial Intelligence (AI), Automation Technologies, a growing number have been expressing concerns about capricious policies related to digital privacy and a lack of fidelity for middle-class trade service and skilled labor related jobs in the coming years.\n \nWhile modern technology empowers us with abilities that would have seemed inconceivable even a century ago, it has continued to develop with such rapid succession over the past decade or two that many parties have grown concerned about what unforeseen impacts on the future could be tragically overlooked by policymakers in their pursuit for rapid progress. While technology allows us overcome the obstacles of time and space (e.g., airplanes, cars, the Internet), one would think that these tools could be used to gain an understanding of other cultures, meet people all over the world, maintain and strengthen transcendental relationships, easily maintain communication with friends and family, and help people to become more socially adept. \n \nSociety in specific segments throughout history, has seen consistent periods of uncertainty and volatility leading up to existential cultural progress:\n \n1. Agrarian/Agricultural Revolution\n \n![agrarian-revolution.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQsjg21CKKY2c656v31k18BXbwoUBHCUbwGKkLdbJoo4b/agrarian-revolution.jpg)\n \n \nThe Agrarian Revolution brought us mass scale farm-based economies and trade, as well as irrigation systems such as the Roman aqueducts. This subsequently resulted in one of the first developments of fiscal policy. \n\n![agricultural-revolution-29-638.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdpJnfncwCXfpd41DRthqApjwyf6VMcFDCGutHzRL8kzm/agricultural-revolution-29-638.jpg)\n \n2. Industrial Revolution.\n \n![IndustrialRevolution.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZNsoB21jHLn6N5yiWiUEvCCoVBV1PFbvM9rAHRqpqDyB/IndustrialRevolution.jpg) \n \nNext was the Industrial Revolution. At the most basic level, Industrialism was embodied by the succession of breakthrough inventions, such as; the steam engine, the cotton gin, railroads, and so on. More broadly, the Industrial era refers to an epoch where economic production shifted from micro-scale, relatively localized production based on individual skills and craftsmanship by artisans to macro-scale, centralized production that incorporated heavy, mechanized machinery, as well as mass numbers of wage workers and unionized parties. \nThe most recent era of global development occurred during the first half of the 20th century. This was a period in which the economic center was dominated by science-based technologies, particularly those related to steel, chemicals, the internal combustion engine, and electricity, such as automotive technologies and petroleum-based industries. \n \n3. Technology Revolution:\n\n![techrevolution.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNgiHQdstP6Pco6mQKXq3gvYiiHR78nMGj7r8atBST2qo/techrevolution.jpg)\n\nThe underlying point that I am attempting to illustrate with all of this is that I believe we are in the cusp of a new “Digital” Revolution, hinged upon information technology. \n \nSimilar to previous eras of revolutionary advancement throughout history, the sweeping innovations and changes in civil policy that followed have always been faced with profound social disruptions, as individuals and groups readjusted their place in society.\n \nComparably, sequential cycles of technological adoption have been marked by booming economic growth followed by periods of sharp decline.\n \nAs these innovations and processes took root in society, the social dislocations played themselves out, and finally, as the growth opportunities inherent in new technologies exhausted themselves, people were ultimately able to adapt to and thrive within a new, more progressive way of life.\n \nThe American public anticipates that the coming half-century will be a period of profound scientific change, as inventions (once confined to the realm of science fiction) come into common usage. \n \n\n \n \nIn terms of our incumbent era of automation, it is important to understand the Diffusion Cycle:\n \n![diffusion.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQhAVG2dSL37xrmr51hb7LDnd45yeg6ku2cpVmS1S1LzG/diffusion.png)\n\nDiffusion can be defined as the cumulative or aggregate result of a series of individual calculations that weigh the incremental benefits of adopting a new technology against the costs of change that may result. It is a communicable representation of mass-scale adoption, expressed in terms of modern economics.\n \nThe diffusion cycle is, and has always been an immutable force of human nature that no amount of perpetual logistics or speculative modeling can evade. \n \nWhen more technical or divisive substitutes for efficiency or convenience are brought into the picture, there will always be a learning curve for individuals who've been taught to do things a certain way and, as inherent creatures of habit, become hesitant to learn and adopt a newly developed technique or methodology. Pride and collusion are often the biggest inhibitors of advancement. This unfortunate truth, may strongly contribute to the distress, indignation, and upheaval during times of acquiescent progress. \n\n![Customer-experience-and-business-results-image-ClearAction-source-post-by-Lynn-Hunsaker.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV1cLzyc5qfk7tUM3uj888FFfZjFRQVMA89tLMDtRVpEz/Customer-experience-and-business-results-image-ClearAction-source-post-by-Lynn-Hunsaker.jpg)\n\nWe exist within an environment characterized by uncertainty about the future, and as the majority of people remain inhibited by either a lack of interest, or limited access to information about both the benefits and costs of new innovations, many of whom may benefit the most from a new technology may remain completely oblivious to its very existence until its applications have been overbearingly saturated.\n \nThe ultimate decision as to the viability of new technology is made on the demand side. However, the benefits and costs have historically been influenced by a suppliers' decision to apply, adapt and advance the methods and make modular developments that are tailored to their own competitive interests. \n \n![digital-transformation.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUCTCVRPWMi9p9HSqRZvn6MEkZDwiKPGScsx8m6otgavS/digital-transformation.png)\n\n \"Hello World\"\n \n \n3. Welcome to The \"Digital\" Information Technology Revolution.\n \nThis is among the main findings of a new national survey by the Pew Research Center and Smithsonian magazine, which asked Americans about a wide range of potential scientific developments—from near-term advances like robotics and bioengineering, to more “futuristic” possibilities like teleportation or space colonization. In addition to asking them for their predictions about the long-term future of scientific advancement, they were also asked to share their own feelings and attitudes toward some new developments that might become common features of American life in the relatively near future.\n \nOverall, most Americans anticipate that the technological developments of the coming half-century will have a net positive impact on society.\n \nSome 59% are optimistic that coming technological and scientific changes will make life in the future better, while 30% think these changes will lead to a future in which people are worse off than they are today.\n \nMany Americans pair their long-term optimism with high expectations for the inventions of the next half century. \n \nPew Research Center provides the following data:\n \nFully eight in ten (81%) expect that within the next 50 years people needing new organs will have them custom grown in a lab, and half (51%) expect that computers will be able to create art that is indistinguishable from that produced by humans.\n \nOn the other hand, the public does see limits to what science can attain in the next 50 years. Fewer than half of Americans (39%) expect that scientists will have developed the technology to teleport objects, and one in three (33%) expect that humans will have colonized planets other than Earth.\n \nCertain terrestrial challenges are viewed as even more daunting, as just 19% of Americans expect that humans will be able to control the weather in the foreseeable future.\n \nAt the same time that many expect science to produce great breakthroughs in the coming decades, there are widespread concerns about some controversial technological developments that might occur on a shorter time horizon:\n \nAI Automation & The Job Market. (Tech Republic)\n\n![The-customer-experience-as-the-predominant-business-success-driver-----source-white-paper-AIIM-and-Kodak-Alaris.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZsNijQfxQxeSThzYTQrxqKVo6apC1wemRVoFUL2XzkGi/The-customer-experience-as-the-predominant-business-success-driver-----source-white-paper-AIIM-and-Kodak-Alaris.gif)\n \nProfessor Wojciech Kopczuk of Columbia University, an economist who has written extensively on the topic of income and wealth inequality, said we are witnessing a polarization of the workforce.\n \n\"The lower part of the income distribution becomes more condensed, the middle becomes closer to the bottom and the top runs away,\" he said.\n \n\"I think this has a lot to do with technology because we're talking about a lot of workers who are not sufficiently skilled to take advantage of the technology.\"\n \n\n ![Integration-and-convergence-in-the-digital-business.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWweNV18RuLvUYE6natHFTQzoEeXBuyFTBfm7MFrAYiqx/Integration-and-convergence-in-the-digital-business.gif)\n \n \nThe argument that automation will worsen inequality is sometimes rejected on the grounds that business owners won't act against their own interests. The reasoning goes that if business owners impoverish their workers they undermine those workers' ability to buy goods and services from that business.\n \nHowever, Dr. Kopczuk claims that this argument is undercut by there being no simple mechanism for employers to collude to keep workers employed and well-paid in this way.\n \n\"It's a very old argument. I think I would associate it with Henry Ford, 100 years ago. You pay your workers so that they can afford to buy your cars.\"\n \nThe problem with that argument is twofold, he said, it requires employers to overpay workers and there is no guarantee that workers will use this additional wealth to buy that same employer's goods.\n \n\"So you'll be overpaying them to afford a lot of other things and not just your own. The economics of it doesn't work unless you think of somehow everybody coordinating. All business owners coordinating to overpay so that everybody benefits. But that coordination is virtually impossible without government intervention.\"\n\n![Bovi_Logo_New7-27_1 - Copy.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaLL4tzKNgRm5jtruaeLUS5B1hucwqkiN48gGqm4t443D/Bovi_Logo_New7-27_1%20-%20Copy.png)\n\nFor More Information Visit: https://www.bovipros.com/",

      "body": "Part #1: The RenAIssance of Social Cause; Technology, Policies & Unity of Thought: \"The Millennial Effect.\"\n\nBy: Daniel R. Munro M.B.A.\n\n![collaboration-illustration.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmagLM7xLbNTqjBC3EsYmSTShQ4G7NH2nM1PfjargifrLG/collaboration-illustration.jpg) \n\nAmidst a renaissance of new technology and social communications networks, many small businesses are beginning to fall behind while the market continues to shift towards digitally integrated advertising and commerce.\n \nNow is the time for younger generations such as millennials to step in and help these businesses thrive within a new online landscape driven by social cause.\n \nAs baby boomers exit the workforce in larger masses each year, a race to attract the best and brightest millennials has employers across the country re-thinking the tried and true recruitment and retention strategies they have relied upon for decades.\n \nHaving been born in the 90s myself, I am writing this article to provide a glimpse into the collective minds of individuals within my generation.\n \nAs we gradually inherit the workforce and develop policies tailored to our unique perspectives, the Millennial Effect will take the geo-political & social climate to a more unifiable ground in the years ahead. As a result, I believe the divisive turmoil we have seen in our country over the past year or two will be gradually redirected towards a more pressing call for social cause and cross-cultural unity.\n \nUnderstanding people's motivations is one way of understanding certain perceptual concepts such as power and privilege. These factors can often be dismissed by individuals within certain communities, resulting in a lack of awareness about less fortunate groups living under impoverished conditions. Social class, age, ethnicity, and cultural environment can sometimes act as a blindfold to people that are more fortunate.\n \nWhile I believe that social communications technology has played a major role in improving the overall cross-cultural literacy of our society, it is important to be aware of, and sensitive to levels of diversity and multiculturalism in developing a unified purpose and mission for an organization.\n \nIndeed, the gap continues to widen between the upper and lower social classes, not only in our country, but across the globe as well. However, our generation will inevitably inherit a global community that is faced with more pressing concerns.\n \nJust to be clear, when I say 'concerns' I'm not suggesting some kind of impending existential crisis.\n \nI simply mean to articulate the fact that as social unity begins to phase out any doubts about our inherent equalities and collective interests. Social media is like to play a major role in the future of multinational collaboration, hopefully dissolving many cultural and social turmoil that we see today.\n \nThe sustainability of our developed communities and the longevity of the human race itself comes down to a common ground among all global civilizations. Global Unity does not have to be exclusive to any particular religious belief or cultural tradition, but rather a common thread of focus towards economic and cultural equality, as well as environmental sustainability.\n \nThe Future of Social Media: A Catalyst for Change, or a Consortium for Hate?\n \nFollowing the rise of social networking sites such as Myspace & Facebook back in the early 2000s, the world has become more interconnected and informed than anyone could have ever imagined.\n \nHowever, the instantaneous global correspondence provided through social media has certainly revealed a mix of both positives and negatives in terms of how it will affect the future of global progress.\n \nSocial Networking Sites on Adolescent Minds. (Growing up Wired)\n \nAided by the convenience and constant access provided by mobile devices, especially smartphones, 92% of teens report going online daily — including 24% who say they go online “almost constantly,” according to a new study from Pew Research Center. More than half (56%) of teens — defined in this report as those ages 13 to 17 — go online several times a day, and 12% report once-a-day use. Just 6% of teens report going online weekly, and 2% go online less often.\n\nThe preponderance of this youth-driven phenomenon Social Networking shows the  have access to and engage in use of : Based on relatively recent data, although perhaps presently an underestimate, 73% use social networking sites (Lenhart, 2009; Lenhart, 2012; Lenhart, Ling, Campbell, & Purcell, 2010).\n \nMoreover, despite the terms of service of Facebook restricting its use to those age 13 or older, it is estimated that 7.5 million younger children also have accounts. \n \nRedefining Identity Mindsets in a Digital Age. \n \nScientific studies of adolescence through The American Institute of Medicine have long targeted the development of one’s identity and the formation of friendships and peer relationships as important topics of study.\n \nTwo of the key tasks in adolescence that directly correspond to the impacts of social media are; to stand out, to develop an identity, pursue autonomy, finding comfortable interest related affiliations and gaining acceptance from peers. Although these goals may seem somewhat divergent, the interplay between the need for one’s own personal identity and the need for close personal ties and strong group affiliations permeates all domains of adolescents’ everyday lives. This illustrates a clearly and definitive intersect with social networking usage.\n \nWhereas childhood friendships are rooted in shared interests and activities, close friendships in adolescence involve trust, self-disclosure, and loyalty.. Social Networking Sites offer additional avenues for support and communication from multiple levels of interaction and social adaption. In perpetuity, Social Networking will continue to play a crucial to the development of age-appropriate adolescent relationships; yet there are questions to be addressed about why adults and adolescents might have significantly different perspectives and approaches to using Social Media.\n \nThe Omnipotent Threats of Social Factions:\nPreventing Congruent Intolerance and Dissolve Forums for Malintent on Social Media  \n \nMore recently, a number of political policy debates have taken place regarding how social media channels should be monitored and regulated. Given the increasingly profound impact social media has had upon our adolescent communities in terms of emotional and social volatility,  open-ended channels of communication when it comes to individual privacy, emotional.\n \nOn the one hand, it allows people to communicate and subsequently emphasize with each other on a much broader scale. On the other, it sometimes allows for social issues to get blown way out of proportion. People will not become more unified and accepting of one another unless they can get behind the right social causes. Without going into too much detail, i believe that instead of a constant stream of negative narratives being posted on social threads every day, more groups of individuals should be using digital communications resources to actually drive change, not just complain about what is wrong and get people to share their views.\n \nThis is especially true when it comes to employee recruitment.\n \nThere is a general set of legal standards set into place by the Equal Employment Opportunity laws that prevents discrimination and attempts to remove biases in the recruitment process, such as distillate impact and treatment.\n \nWhile cultural and generational gaps in the workplace still exist, certain constraints such as equal pay for Females and equal opportunities for Inner-City or minority ethnic groups are becoming more widely acknowledged and subsequent policy changes are essential to extinguishing such biases and creating a more manageable transition for organizations that want to achieve integrative technology into the new era.\n \nFrom a first principle perspective, there is very little that can't be overcome with the proper acknowledgement and communication.\n \nAs long as companies continue to work towards focusing their recruiting efforts on merit, not external factors such as appearance social clout, or upbringing, my generation will continue to see a more diverse and unified workforce in the years to come.\n \nLearn More:\nhttps://www.bovipros.com/",
