Item A survey of expatriate employees of the Higher Colleges of Technology to evaluate the pre-arrival orientation package(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Business, 1992) Teja, Nasir; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Norman L. MillikinThe major purpose of this paper was to evaluate the pre-arrival orientation package that all new expatriates receive from the orientation committees at the Higher colleges of Technology. To collect the data for the study, questionnaire packets were sent to each of the six campuses. Each packet was addressed to the Executive Assistant to the Director who had been instructed to distributed them only to the expatriate employees. Of the 118 questionnaires distributed, 85 were returned. Nineteen (19) of the 85 were disqualified because they had been hired locally without any orientation, giving 66 or a total return of 55.9 percent. The findings of the study showed that the majority of the respondents thought that the pre-arrival orientation package was generally acceptable. The majority also stated that for the most part, the pre-arrival orientation package portrayed an accurate picture of the Higher Colleges of Technology and life in the Emirates. Most respondents thought that the Emirates was a lot more Westernized than they expected. There were some mixed views about the status of women in the UAE and also about the clarity of the contract. Most people were able to bring appropriate clothing based on information in the orientation package. The respondents thought that the information on furnishing and housing could have been much better. All respondents would have liked a college calendar showing what career vocations are taught and the courses the they would have to teach. Knowing what they know now, most respondents would have accepted the job and would also recommend the job to their friends. Based on the findings of the study, the writer recommends that the Higher Colleges of Technology set up orientation committees at each city, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Al Ain, that oversees the orientation package. The information needed to be kept current by performing ongoing surveys on new employees. The committee should also provide feedback to Central Services who provides information on contract and housing.Item Legal topics that should be taught in the undergraduate accounting option at Montana State University(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Professional Schools, 1972) Babcock, Roselae Hoffman; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Harvey A. LarsonThe purpose of this research was to present the legal topics deemed essential by the respondents of the study to the administration and faculty of the School of Commerce. There have been no curriculum changes in the required course of study under the accounting option in the areas of business law, income tax accounting, or auditing since the upsurge of legal suits involving professional accountants or since the Littler Committee's report in 1969. The study results will disclose whether or not changes in curriculum or course content are needed. They will also provide guidance to the School of Commerce relative to the degree of need for any changes.Item Analysis of computer curricula at community colleges in Western States(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1995) King, Debra Jean; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Norman L.
