WEEK 3 EOC: 9-5 Secretaries Want to Kill Their Bosses

After Watching the movie 9 to 5, it definitely gives a whole different idea of how the work place once was before Human Resources came into play. It also shows that we as people are truly more sensitive then we used to be. There would be no toleration for what happened back then now. There would e law suites flying left and right. It really reminds me of Mad Men Series, the office idea is some what the same as in the movie 9 to 5. The movie was very accurate to how it was in those days. They were able to do independent research on secretaries that lived this day to day. They would have actual experience in an office by actually taking up a job in the field. This is a great way to get real research done. They also used a sort of focus group to interview and talk to real secretaries. "Regardless of your preferred level of assistance or research budget, you can turn to local entities, such as universities and research firms to help you design and execute a marketing study." (Marketing Research For Dummies, Pg. 66)

"Students whom engage  in real world research projects, typically receive extensive advice from one or more faculty members, instructors or advisers can give their input in support of students actual learning experiences should ensure proper conducted and hassle free market research." (Marketing Research for Dummies, Pg 67) I feel this is so true, having the faculty help guide you through these life experiences or on the job duties really help and can be helpful when executing a research method. Help from anyone knowledgeable is good but you have to be careful where they get their research from, then decide how valuable it really is. "Fortunately a good researcher can help you understand and structure your true problem." (Marketing Research For Dummies, Pg, 71)

The movie illustrated lots sf discrimination, and sexism and just plain out rudeness. Again what went on in that office would not stand a chance today. The location would have gotten shut down and those male bosses would be in jail!
