Survey research is one of the most important areas of measurement in applied social research. The broad area of survey research encompasses any measurement procedures that involve asking questions of respondents. A "survey" can be anything form a short paper-and-pencil feedback form to an intensive one-on-one in-depth interview.
We'll begin by looking at the different types of surveys that are possible. These are roughly divided into two broad areas: Questionnaires and Interviews. Next, we'll look at how you select the survey method that is best for your situation. Once you've selected the survey method, you have to construct the survey itself. Here, we will be address a number of issues including: the different types of questions; decisions about question content; decisions about question wording; decisions about response format; and, question placement and sequence in your instrument. We turn next to some of the special issues involved in administering a personal interview. Finally, we'll consider some of the advantages and disadvantages of survey methods.
Types of Surveys
Surveys can be divided into two broad categories: the questionnaire and the interview. Questionnaires are usually paper-and-pencil instruments that the respondent completes. Interviews are completed by the interviewer based on the respondent says. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference between a questionnaire and an interview. For instance, some people think that questionnaires always ask short closed-ended questions while interviews always ask broad open-ended ones. But you will see questionnaires with open-ended questions (although they do tend to be shorter than in interviews) and there will often be a series of closed-ended questions asked in an interview.
Survey research has changed dramatically in the last ten years. We have automated telephone surveys that use random dialing methods. There are computerized kiosks in public places that allows people to ask for input. A whole new variation of group interview has evolved as focus group methodology. Increasingly, survey research is tightly integrated with the delivery of service. Your hotel room has a survey on the desk. Your waiter presents a short customer satisfaction survey with your check. You get a call for an interview several days after your last call to a computer company for technical assistance. You're asked to complete a short survey when you visit a web site. Here, I'll describe the major types of questionnaires and interviews, keeping in mind that technology is leading to rapid evolution of methods. We'll discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of these different survey types in Advantages and Disadvantages of Survey Methods.
Questionnaires
When most people think of questionnaires, they think of the mail survey. All of us have, at one time or another, received a questionnaire in the mail. There are many advantages to mail surveys. They are relatively inexpensive to administer. You can send the exact same instrument to a wide number of people. They allow the respondent to fill it out at their own convenience. But there are some disadvantages as well. Response rates from mail surveys are often very low. And, mail questionnaires are not the best vehicles for asking for detailed written responses.
A second type is the group administered questionnaire. A sample of respondents is brought together and asked to respond to a structured sequence of questions. Traditionally, questionnaires were administered in group settings for convenience. The researcher could give the questionnaire to those who were present and be fairly sure that there would be a high response rate. If the respondents were unclear about the meaning of a question they could ask for clarification. And, there were often organizational settings where it was relatively easy to assemble the group (in a company or business, for instance).
What's the difference between a group administered questionnaire and a group interview or focus group? In the group administered questionnaire, each respondent is handed an instrument and asked to complete it while in the room. Each respondent completes an instrument. In the group interview or focus group, the interviewer facilitates the session. People work as a group, listening to each other's comments and answering the questions. Someone takes notes for the entire group -- people don't complete an interview individually.
A less familiar type of questionnaire is the household drop-off survey. In this approach, a researcher goes to the respondent's home or business and hands the respondent the instrument. In some cases, the respondent is asked to mail it back or the interview returns to pick it up. This approach attempts to blend the advantages of the mail survey and the group administered questionnaire. Like the mail survey, the respondent can work on the instrument in private, when it's convenient. Like the group administered questionnaire, the interviewer makes personal contact with the respondent -- they don't just send an impersonal survey instrument. And, the respondent can ask questions about the study and get clarification on what is to be done. Generally, this would be expected to increase the percent of people who are willing to respond.
Interviews
Interviews are a far more personal form of research than questionnaires. In the personal interview, the interviewer works directly with the respondent. Unlike with mail surveys, the interviewer has the opportunity to probe or ask follow-up questions. And, interviews are generally easier for the respondent, especially if what is sought is opinions or impressions. Interviews can be very time consuming and they are resource intensive. The interviewer is considered a part of the measurement instrument and interviewers have to be well trained in how to respond to any contingency.
Almost everyone is familiar with the telephone interview. Telephone interviews enable a researcher to gather information rapidly. Most of the major public opinion polls that are reported were based on telephone interviews. Like personal interviews, they allow for some personal contact between the interviewer and the respondent. And, they allow the interviewer to ask follow-up questions. But they also have some major disadvantages. Many people don't have publicly-listed telephone numbers. Some don't have telephones. People often don't like the intrusion of a call to their homes. And, telephone interviews have to be relatively short or people will feel imposed upon.
Selecting the Survey Method
Selecting the type of survey you are going to use is one of the most critical decisions in many social research contexts. You'll see that there are very few simple rules that will make the decision for you -- you have to use your judgment to balance the advantages and disadvantages of different survey types. Here, all I want to do is give you a number of questions you might ask that can help guide your decision.
Population Issues
The first set of considerations have to do with the population and its accessibility.
• Can the population be enumerated?
For some populations, you have a complete listing of the units that will be sampled. For others, such a list is difficult or impossible to compile. For instance, there are complete listings of registered voters or person with active drivers licenses. But no one keeps a complete list of homeless people. If you are doing a study that requires input from homeless persons, you are very likely going to need to go and find the respondents personally. In such contexts, you can pretty much rule out the idea of mail surveys or telephone interviews.
• Is the population literate?
Questionnaires require that your respondents can read. While this might seem initially like a reasonable assumption for many adult populations, we know from recent research that the instance of adult illiteracy is alarmingly high. And, even if your respondents can read to some degree, your questionnaire may contain difficult or technical vocabulary. Clearly, there are some populations that you would expect to be illiterate. Young children would not be good targets for questionnaires.
• Are there language issues?
We live in a multilingual world. Virtually every society has members who speak other than the predominant language. Some countries (like Canada) are officially multilingual. And, our increasingly global economy requires us to do research that spans countries and language groups. Can you produce multiple versions of your questionnaire? For mail instruments, can you know in advance the language your respondent speaks, or do you send multiple translations of your instrument? Can you be confident that important connotations in your instrument are not culturally specific? Could some of the important nuances get lost in the process of translating your questions?
• Will the population cooperate?
People who do research on immigration issues have a difficult methodological problem. They often need to speak with undocumented immigrants or people who may be able to identify others who are. Why would we expect those respondents to cooperate? Although the researcher may mean no harm, the respondents are at considerable risk legally if information they divulge should get into the hand of the authorities. The same can be said for any target group that is engaging in illegal or unpopular activities.
• What are the geographic restrictions?
Is your population of interest dispersed over too broad a geographic range for you to study feasibly with a personal interview? It may be possible for you to send a mail instrument to a nationwide sample. You may be able to conduct phone interviews with them. But it will almost certainly be less feasible to do research that requires interviewers to visit directly with respondents if they are widely dispersed.
Sampling Issues
The sample is the actual group you will have to contact in some way. There are several important sampling issues you need to consider when doing survey research.
• What data is available?
What information do you have about your sample? Do you know their current addresses? Their current phone numbers? Are your contact lists up to date?
• Can respondents be found?
Can your respondents be located? Some people are very busy. Some travel a lot. Some work the night shift. Even if you have an accurate phone or address, you may not be able to locate or make contact with your sample.
• Who is the respondent?
Who is the respondent in your study? Let's say you draw a sample of households in a small city. A household is not a respondent. Do you want to interview a specific individual? Do you want to talk only to the "head of household" (and how is that person defined)? Are you willing to talk to any member of the household? Do you state that you will speak to the first adult member of the household who opens the door? What if that person is unwilling to be interviewed but someone else in the house is willing? How do you deal with multi-family households? Similar problems arise when you sample groups, agencies, or companies. Can you survey any member of the organization? Or, do you only want to speak to the Director of Human Resources? What if the person you would like to interview is unwilling or unable to participate? Do you use another member of the organization?
• Can all members of population be sampled?
If you have an incomplete list of the population (i.e., sampling frame) you may not be able to sample every member of the population. Lists of various groups are extremely hard to keep up to date. People move or change their names. Even though they are on your sampling frame listing, you may not be able to get to them. And, it's possible they are not even on the list.
• Are response rates likely to be a problem?
Even if you are able to solve all of the other population and sampling problems, you still have to deal with the issue of response rates. Some members of your sample will simply refuse to respond. Others have the best of intentions, but can't seem to find the time to send in your questionnaire by the due date. Still others misplace the instrument or forget about the appointment for an interview. Low response rates are among the most difficult of problems in survey research. They can ruin an otherwise well-designed survey effort.
Question Issues
Sometimes the nature of what you want to ask respondents will determine the type of survey you select.
• What types of questions can be asked?
Are you going to be asking personal questions? Are you going to need to get lots of detail in the responses? Can you anticipate the most frequent or important types of responses and develop reasonable closed-ended questions?
• How complex will the questions be?
Sometimes you are dealing with a complex subject or topic. The questions you want to ask are going to have multiple parts. You may need to branch to sub-questions.
• Will screening questions be needed?
A screening question may be needed to determine whether the respondent is qualified to answer your question of interest. For instance, you wouldn't want to ask someone their opinions about a specific computer program without first "screening" them to find out whether they have any experience using the program. Sometimes you have to screen on several variables (e.g., age, gender, experience). The more complicated the screening, the less likely it is that you can rely on paper-and-pencil instruments without confusing the respondent.
• Can question sequence be controlled?
Is your survey one where you can construct in advance a reasonable sequence of questions? Or, are you doing an initial exploratory study where you may need to ask lots of follow-up questions that you can't easily anticipate?
• Will lengthy questions be asked?
If your subject matter is complicated, you may need to give the respondent some detailed background for a question. Can you reasonably expect your respondent to sit still long enough in a phone interview to ask your question?
• Will long response scales be used?
If you are asking people about the different computer equipment they use, you may have to have a lengthy response list (CD-ROM drive, floppy drive, mouse, touch pad, modem, network connection, external speakers, etc.). Clearly, it may be difficult to ask about each of these in a short phone interview.
Content Issues
The content of your study can also pose challenges for the different survey types you might utilize.
• Can the respondents be expected to know about the issue?
If the respondent does not keep up with the news (e.g., by reading the newspaper, watching television news, or talking with others), they may not even know about the news issue you want to ask them about. Or, if you want to do a study of family finances and you are talking to the spouse who doesn't pay the bills on a regular basis, they may not have the information to answer your questions.
• Will respondent need to consult records?
Even if the respondent understands what you're asking about, you may need to allow them to consult their records in order to get an accurate answer. For instance, if you ask them how much money they spent on food in the past month, they may need to look up their personal check and credit card records. In this case, you don't want to be involved in an interview where they would have to go look things up while they keep you waiting (they wouldn't be comfortable with that).
Bias Issues
People come to the research endeavor with their own sets of biases and prejudices. Sometimes, these biases will be less of a problem with certain types of survey approaches.
• Can social desirability be avoided?
Respondents generally want to "look good" in the eyes of others. None of us likes to look like we don't know an answer. We don't want to say anything that would be embarrassing. If you ask people about information that may put them in this kind of position, they may not tell you the truth, or they may "spin" the response so that it makes them look better. This may be more of a problem in an interview situation where they are face-to face or on the phone with a live interviewer.
• Can interviewer distortion and subversion be controlled?
Interviewers may distort an interview as well. They may not ask questions that make them uncomfortable. They may not listen carefully to respondents on topics for which they have strong opinions. They may make the judgment that they already know what the respondent would say to a question based on their prior responses, even though that may not be true.
• Can false respondents be avoided?
With mail surveys it may be difficult to know who actually responded. Did the head of household complete the survey or someone else? Did the CEO actually give the responses or instead pass the task off to a subordinate? Is the person you're speaking with on the phone actually who they say they are? At least with personal interviews, you have a reasonable chance of knowing who you are speaking with. In mail surveys or phone interviews, this may not be the case.
Administrative Issues
Last, but certainly not least, you have to consider the feasibility of the survey method for your study.
• costs
Cost is often the major determining factor in selecting survey type. You might prefer to do personal interviews, but can't justify the high cost of training and paying for the interviewers. You may prefer to send out an extensive mailing but can't afford the postage to do so.
• facilities
Do you have the facilities (or access to them) to process and manage your study? In phone interviews, do you have well-equipped phone surveying facilities? For focus groups, do you have a comfortable and accessible room to host the group? Do you have the equipment needed to record and transcribe responses?
• time
Some types of surveys take longer than others. Do you need responses immediately (as in an overnight public opinion poll)? Have you budgeted enough time for your study to send out mail surveys and follow-up reminders, and to get the responses back by mail? Have you allowed for enough time to get enough personal interviews to justify that approach?
• personnel
Different types of surveys make different demands of personnel. Interviews require interviewers who are motivated and well-trained. Group administered surveys require people who are trained in group facilitation. Some studies may be in a technical area that requires some degree of expertise in the interviewer.
Clearly, there are lots of issues to consider when you are selecting which type of survey you wish to use in your study. And there is no clear and easy way to make this decision in many contexts. There may not be one approach which is clearly the best. You may have to make tradeoffs of advantages and disadvantages. There is judgment involved. Two expert researchers may, for the very same problem or issue, select entirely different survey methods. But, if you select a method that isn't appropriate or doesn't fit the context, you can doom a study before you even begin designing the instruments or questions themselves

Approved 2nd Draft: Eating Junk Foods
Denny Donman Jr.
Xandro Paulo
Grace Bangcoyo
Christine Reble
I.Project Title
The Performance of SMC HRM Students of Eating Junk Foods….Since you have no accurate data re number of students eating junk foods, I suggest you compare the performance of the non-eater and eater.
II. Abstract
Studies have shown that students are heavily influenced by food advertising and promotions. In many cases, those unhealthy foods have been promoted wisely that it appears to be good for heath and wellness despite the facts that it affects performance, study habit, relationship with the family, health and even death. Junk food is a term describing foods that are classified as unhealthy and/or having poor nutritional value. This study proposed to determine the number of students who are fun in eating junk foods including their daily consumption. It aims to identify the relationship of junk foods to the performance of the students as indicated by their grade point average, study habit, relationship with the family, and their health. Although, the proposed study is not relatively new, the researchers proposed to conduct and validate the theory at the local setting. The study will help students minimize, refrain, or quit from eating junk food.
II.Project Description
Purpose
This will be a comparative study showing the relationship of junk foods to grade point average, study habit, relationship with the family, and health of the St. Michael’s College Students. Furthermore, the proposed study is interested in knowing the factors influencing the junk food eaters to eat such foods.
It is very essential for a person to know and understand the effect of all packed and preserved foods and the benefit of all natural foods like fruits and vegetables. Although the upbringing of the parents to their children, lifestyle, influenced of peers, friends, televisions, and mags are acceptable factors in the performance of a student in school, the study is limited to determine the possible link of junk foods to the mention variables.
Significance
As observed, college students of St. Michael’s College tends to become a junk food addict.
Working in this particular field, although the topic is related to healthcare, eating lifestyle has became an important areas in the Tourism and Hospitality industries. It is the researchers aim to provide healthy lifestyle for the researchers’ target customers.
History
The research reviews the effect of eating junk foods. Some researchers explained that junk food is being consumed by students in record quantities.
“Junk Food” is food which traditionally has no nutritional value. It deprives the body necessary nutrients and it’s over consumption over time leads to obesity, medical problem, and behavioral problems. Some examples are: ”Salted snack foods, candy, gums, most sweet desserts, fried fast food and carbonated beverages…” (Ask Dietitian, ____).
According to Crister (2003), Junk food consumption is associated with various physical ailments including obesity, Type II diabetes, heart attacks and decreased life expectancy. Because of junk food, “Our children’s life expectancy could be lower than our own (Lempert,2005)”.
Junk food is also a major cause in the 23 percent of American who are overweight. (Assuras, 2001) Fast food and the increasingly available category of junk food is strongly correlated to the “300 percent increase in the rate of U.S. children who are either overweight or obese (Lempert, 2005).”
Furthermore, according to Masser (2000) is also what can cause the crash afterwards which manifests in drowsiness and lack of concentration. Even caffeine from soda sold in school vending machines causes such behavior swings.
• Ok... I suggest you need to compare the non-eater and the eater.
• Please proceed to the plan of work and expected results and submit it to judesalon@yahoo.com. Should you need a template for your Gantt Chart, please see me in my office.
• You may draft your research tools and submit it to my email add. Do not forget to write the members of the group.

Career Preference of BS Hotel and Restaurant Management Students of Saint Michael’s College
Abstract
State the following points:
1. Issue/s
2. Target sample
3. Significance
4. Methodology or approach
REVISE: There are lots of jobs for a BS HRM graduate. Here and abroad. These are the few of the possible career to choose from, being a hotel or establishment receptionist, a cook or chef perhaps in maritime, hotel and restaurants, food enterprise proprietor or hotel and restaurant manager. These are just few of the possible career to pursue after graduation. This study will help determine what the possible career of BS HRM students years or right after graduation.
III. Project Description
PURPOSE
According to news and surveys, there are a high percentage of graduates that chose to work not on their field of expertise but with what are available job or work there is because of lack of job openings and choices.
During the past years a number of valuable studies (WHAT ARE THOSE) have been conducted to assess the performance of students (OR GRADUATES?) on their chosen career.
The proposed study will help HRM students choose what career to pursue after graduation. The role of the school, the professors and mentors, family, peers, environment and personal decisions will be explored as factors affecting the preference of the students in choosing a career. Moreover, this proposed study is to assess the possible career as measured by the students’ preference and to match these preferences to the required knowledge and skills.
SIGNIFICANCE
HOW CAN THIS STUDY BE BENEFICIAL TO STUDENTS, SMC ADMINISTRATORS, HRM STUDENTS, ETC?
HISTORY
The Bachelor of Arts Major in Hotel and Restaurant Management course is not a well-known course before. Some mistakenly think that HRM courses only tackle about cooking and food serving in hotels and restaurant only. What people do not know is that HRM courses deal with effective & comprehensive training in the hospitality arena and improves human relations abilities.
In HRM you will develop a keen understanding of the skills necessary to run a successful and competitive food service enterprise, how to manage customers and become effective hosts. Years had passed and now the demand of HRM expertise is at large not only here in the Philippines but also abroad.
The strength of the Hotel and Restaurant Management program lies in combining management with culinary expertise. It will develop your understanding on both front room and front office procedures, enhanced by a working knowledge of the kitchen preparation process and other essential “behind-the-scenes” operations. The program highlights topic on elements of food and plate presentation, buffet organization methods, the history and study of specific cuisines as well as preferred serving protocols
I CANT FIND THE CAREER THINGS. YOU MENTIONED THE HRM COURSE BUT NO A CAREER.
Operational Terms:
1.

SMC: Quiz in a Bowl
So, how was your proposal? feeling better? As mentioned, from time to time I will be using this blogsite to stimulate your interest in reading. This activity will test your mental ability to analyze and apply your learning out of reading.
Below is a statement from a professional social researcher describing the ethical issues in conducting research. Please read carefully and answer the questions individually. Meaning, I expect 49 answers.
"There are a number of key phrases that describe the system of ethical protections that the contemporary social and medical research establishment have created to try to protect better the rights of their research participants. The principle of voluntary participation requires that people not be coerced into participating in research. This is especially relevant where researchers had previously relied on 'captive audiences' for their subjects -- prisons, universities, and places like that. Closely related to the notion of voluntary participation is the requirement of informed consent. Essentially, this means that prospective research participants must be fully informed about the procedures and risks involved in research and must give their consent to participate. Ethical standards also require that researchers not put participants in a situation where they might be at risk of harm as a result of their participation. Harm can be defined as both physical and psychological. There are two standards that are applied in order to help protect the privacy of research participants. Almost all research guarantees the participants confidentiality -- they are assured that identifying information will not be made available to anyone who is not directly involved in the study. The stricter standard is the principle of anonymity which essentially means that the participant will remain anonymous throughout the study -- even to the researchers themselves. Clearly, the anonymity standard is a stronger guarantee of privacy, but it is sometimes difficult to accomplish, especially in situations where participants have to be measured at multiple time points (e.g., a pre-post study). Increasingly, researchers have had to deal with the ethical issue of a person's right to service. Good research practice often requires the use of a no-treatment control group -- a group of participants who do not get the treatment or program that is being studied. But when that treatment or program may have beneficial effects, persons assigned to the no-treatment control may feel their rights to equal access to services are being curtailed".
Case:
Department of Trade and Industry commissioned ST. Michael's College to gather (or enumerate) information from accordingly identified respondents, and store this information in a database. As a compliance to the contract signed, you are required to interview at least 5 respondents.
Question:
1. The social researcher defines the ethical issues in research, How will you handle the case?
2. Should the "accordingly identified respondents" refuse to be interviewed, what is/are your strategies?
You have 12 hours to answer. You need to posed your answer here.
Reminders: For groups who have completed their expected results and plan of work, you may submit it to judesalon@yahoo.com.

Almost all research guarantees the participants confidentiality -- they are assured that identifying information will not be made available to anyone who is not directly involved in the study. The stricter standard is the principle of anonymity which essentially means that the participant will remain anonymous throughout the study -- even to the researchers themselves. Clearly, the anonymity standard is a stronger guarantee of privacy, but it is sometimes difficult to accomplish, especially in situations where participants have to be measured at multiple time points (e.g., a pre-post study). Increasingly, researchers have had to deal with the ethical issue of a person's right to service. Good research practice often requires the use of a no-treatment control group -- a group of participants who do not get the treatment or program that is being studied. But when that treatment or program may have beneficial effects, persons assigned to the no-treatment control may feel their rights to equal access to services are being curtailed".
Case:
Department of Trade and Industry commissioned ST. Michael's College to gather (or enumerate) information from accordingly identified respondents, and store this information in a database. As a compliance to the contract signed, you are required to interview at least 5 respondents.
Question:
1. The social researcher defines the ethical issues in research, How will you handle the case?
2. Should the "accordingly identified respondents" refuse to be interviewed, what is/are your strategies?
You have 12 hours to answer. You need to posed your answer here.
Reminders: For groups who have completed their expected results and plan of work, you may submit it to judesalon@yahoo.com.

Approved 2nd Draft: Reduction of Wine Expenditures
Loreluz, Estolloso
Reduction of Wine Expenditures in HRM Laboratory Through In-
House Production of Wine
II. Abstract
In the hotel and restaurant industry, the presence of wine adds glamour to any social gathering. And the fact that wine is used in cooking in various dishes, for medicinal purposes, and as part of religious activities of several denominations makes it as an interesting commodity. However, expenditures incurred in the procurement of wines have incessantly increased over the years due to subsequent factors like equipment used and the processing of raw materials. This has also greatly affects the St. Michael’s College HRM Laboratory which also feature an array of wine collection and which also serves wine during special occasion hosted by the school, as well as, other hotel functions.
For this reason, the researcher deemed it necessary to pursue this study on Reduction of Wine Expenditures in HRM Laboratory Through In-House Production of Wine. The said concoction will be made of pineapple, mango, banana, and passion fruits and will be known as Four Seasons Wine. This study is further anchored on the theory that the in-house production of wine will significantly reduce wine expenditure in the HRM Laboratory. This study will also rely on the descriptive – experimental method since factors such as Time, Marketability, Manpower and Raw Materials in relation to the Four Seasons Wine will have to be considered.
III. Project Description
A. Purpose
Wine, as defined by Microsoft Encarta Premium Suite 2005 is a term for an “alcoholic drink made by fermenting the juice, in fresh or concentrated form, of fruits or berries.” Throughout history, wine has been known to complement meals and to celebrate joyful occasions. Wine has also been used in cooking various dishes. History tells us that early Greeks used wine for medicinal purposes.
Likewise, many physicians today believe in wine’s potency to aid digestions and relieve tension. Wine also plays an important part in religious services of many faiths.
There is a significant role that wines play in social gatherings and in the hotel industry by restaurateurs and academic institutions offering Hotel and Restaurant Management courses. No gathering is merrier without wine. However, wine-making can oftentimes incur big expenses especially when faced with the prospect of catering guests with discriminating tastes. Furthermore, equipment and raw materials involved can greatly add up to expenditures. Notwithstanding expenses involved in wine-making, still the fact remains that wine is seen as necessary commodity in hotels and restaurant.
Such reality mentioned above has been acknowledged by the HRM students of St. Michael’s College. The students who have been exposed to bar management know well the amount of money spent in procuring wines.
Thus, it is for this reason that the researcher is encouraged to propose the in-house production of wine made of pineapple, mango, banana and passion fruits, known as Four Seasons Wine to reduce the wine expenditure in HRM Laboratory.
Furthermore, this study is anchored on the theory that the production of the in-house wine will significantly reduce the wine expenditure in the HRM Laboratory. Secondly, this will boost the production of locally made wine. Lastly, this will pave way for more profit and market gains.
This particular study will use the descriptive – experimental method since this will involve the factors affecting the in-house production of Four Seasons Wine, namely: Time, Marketability, Manpower, and Raw Materials. Likewise, it will also be used in the analysis of other independent variables such as the wine expenditures in HRM Laboratory. Furthermore, the researcher is interested of the feasibility of pineapple, mango, banana, and passion fruits to be made as wine.
B. Significance
With the costly prices of raw materials in the market today, it is deemed wise for any entrepreneur engaged in the hotel industry to seek alternative to produce wine which is drinkable and acceptable to most hotel guests and patrons. As mentioned earlier, this study is expected to reduce wine expenditure in the HRM Laboratory. Likewise, this proposed concoction can also be suitable for cooking in selected dishes and when fermented longer than the required period, can produce another by-product – specialty vinegar. Furthermore, it is hoped that with this experiment, subsequent studies will lead to the proliferation of locally – produced wines.
If in any case, that the study will be successful, the researcher intends to introduce the product to the public . Advertisements will be conducted in regards with the product and the selling of the wine in big grocery stores found in the locality as a competitor for the imported wines. As a student, this project will be beneficial to the Hospitality Industry here in Iligan in a way that the students with related course to Hotel and Restaurant Management and to those entrepreneurs who are closely associated to the industry can now purchase wines which is cheaper in contrast with those imported wines. And since the project is new and original, and if the production of this wine will be acknowledged and be accepted by the public, Iligan City will be recognized.
Our economy here in Iligan City is not really dying but with the success of this project, it can and it will help augment our market here through mass production of the said wine and can be sold to other cities or provinces outside Iligan City.
C. History
This study is relatively new and no previous record of its study has been noted. This study is basically a novel idea.
D. Plan of Work
The researcher has planned to do the project ahead of time since it will take six months for the experiment to attain its results. The researcher plans to do the study on the month of March so by September anticipated results will be evaluated The proposed project will take place in the residence of the researcher at 1st East Extension, Rosario Heights, Tubod, Iligan City. The study needs the four different fruits namely mango, pineapple, banana and passion for the production of the wine. Yeast is also required for the fermentation and so is the sugar.
Below is the procedure on how to make the Four Seasons Wine:
INGREDIENTS:
1 kl ripe mangoes
1 kl ripe pineapple
1 kl ripe bananas
1 kl ripe passion fruit
1 kl sugar
½ kl yeast
PROCEDURE:
1. Wash the fruits thoroughly.
2. Peel and crushed the fruits.
3. In a large mixing bow, mix all together the fruits included the sugar and yeast.
4. Place the mixture into a jar and cover it.
5. Preserve it for six months.
6. After six months, strain the mixture and place the now then wine in sterilized bottles.
*** If mixture will be preserved for a longer period, specifically a year, another by-product will be produce which is a vinegar.***
Definition of Term
For better understanding of the words that will be used in this study, some terms are defined:
Wine - an alcoholic drink made by fermenting the juice in fresh or concentrated form, of fruits or berries.
Banana – a fruit of a large herbaceous plant (Musa paradisiacal sapientium) growing 10 to 20 feet high, cultivated in tropical climates for its edible pulpy fruit which grows in long pendant cluster
Mango – the edible fleshy fruit of a tropical tree Mangifera indica
Pineapple – the edible fruit of a Tropical American plant Anana Comosus having spiny, recurved leaves and a cone shaped fruit consisting of the inflourescence clustering densely around a fleshy axis tipped with a rosette of spiked leaves.
Passion fruit – Passiflora edulis or passion fruit is cultivated commercially for its fruit in northwestern South America, India, the Caribbean, Brazil, southern Florida, Hawaii, Australia, East Africa, Israel and South Africa (where it is known as a grenadilla or granadilla). The passion fruit is round to oval, yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds. The fruit can be grown to eat or for its juice, which is often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma.
Yeast – a substance consisting of minute cells of Ascomycetous fungi (genus Saccharomyces that clump together, forming a yellow frothy viscous growth which, in contact with saccharine liquids, develops or increases by germination producing fermentation by means of enzymes, in which processed alcohol and carbon dioxide are produced.
Crushed – to smash or grind into fine fragments or particles
Preserve – to prepare food for future consumption
E. Expected Results
After the experiment will be done and evaluations be made, the researcher has anticipated a good result. And the following factors to be considered like time, marketability, raw materials and man power will be justified. The researcher will be confident to present the project to the public.
• OK. Congratulations. You executed your point well; however I would like to see your definition of the mentioned factors to be examined such as time, marketability, raw materials and manpower.
• Your evaluation will be relatively easier if you can come up with ATTRIBUTES of a specific variable. Meaning, how will you measure time, marketability, raw materials and manpower? This should be discussed clearly. Although the four season wine is new, the concept of marketing is not. Therefore, as part of the history, you need to discuss the success of the existing theory being tested by earlier researches.
• See me in my office…bring your USB or simply hand your email add so I can give you Gantt Chart Format.
