Rapid growth of the alumni body without any clear idea of their perceptions and preferences about services and activities prompted this study.

A questionnaire consisting of three parts was used to gather data. The first part consisted of thirty modified Likert Scale questions to measure the respondents' feelings toward items reflective of typical industrial situations. The second part incorporated the respondents' value rankings of Rokeach-Clare-Sanford terminal and instrumental values and their perceived value rankings of relevant other people in their job environments. The third part involved certain demographic information about the respondents and that relationship to conflict areas. Chi-square and the Spearman Coefficient were used in analyzing the results.

Show moreThis paper is an effort to project a human behavior vehicle, the general college Greek letter fraternity, from the year 1975 to the year 1985. The technique used is a system of forecasting known as the Delphi method. The fraternity concept is studied in terms of six major areas: Cost and Finances; Alumni; Student Life - Membership; National fraternity Activity; Interfraternity; Student Life -Activities/ Campus. Conclusions are reached with minor statistical basis. The paper also attempts an evaluation of expert opinion versus the opinion of the Delphi committee as a whole. It is anticipated that the study will provide a method and base for future short and long range planning efforts by administrators of general college Greek letter fraternities.

MARKETING HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Title
MARKETING HEALTH CARE PRODUCTS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Creator
VAN ZANDT, RUSSELL D., Florida Atlantic University, Zimmerer, Thomas W., College of Business, Department of Marketing
Abstract/Description
The marketing of any product to the Federal Government is different than the normal non-governmental marketing effort. The marketing of health care products to the Federal Government is more unique due to the influence of the medical community, professional jealousy among Federal agencies and departments, and the varied types of health care delivery systems within the Federal Government. This study investigates the method, procedures, protocol and scope of those Federal agencies that procure...
Show moreThe marketing of any product to the Federal Government is different than the normal non-governmental marketing effort. The marketing of health care products to the Federal Government is more unique due to the influence of the medical community, professional jealousy among Federal agencies and departments, and the varied types of health care delivery systems within the Federal Government. This study investigates the method, procedures, protocol and scope of those Federal agencies that procure health care products. It explores the role of associations in this marketing effort and also details legislative and regulatory efforts regarding this activity. Recommendations and conclusions are made regarding the most effective use of available methods of marketing, the probable outcome of pending legislation, the probable future of Federal Government procurement and its effect on the Federal Health Care market.

Since I had no concrete bypothesis with which to begin the paper, I chose to use exploratory research.

Show moreThis paper was intended as an exploratory look into the problems of environmental control with special attention given to its costs and effects on business and society. Since I had no concrete bypothesis with which to begin the paper, I chose to use exploratory research. Pollution is current, however, and I felt that there was a particular problem concerning pollution and how much it will cost. After a survey of the experts in the field and their proposals, I found some very definite trends. I found the general feeling to be that there is a growing conflict concerning just who is going to pay for pollu~ion control. Whoever pays for the costs, I found that the present market structure does not properly account for the costs of pollution control. These findings led me to the conclusion that pollution control is more of a problem than I suspected and that it deserves more complete analysis as to possible solutions.
