Discussion 5
Worldviews, i.e., paradigms, govern the approach to research, i.e., quantitative or qualitative methodologies, and must not be confused with the role of theory in research. Read the editorial by Suddaby found in the Additional Resources of this Unit, and consider that much debate exists among practitioners and scholars as to role of theory in research; it is no wonder theory as used in research is so difficult to grasp. For applied business research at University, we follow the views expressed by Creswell. Theory guides the researcher with respect to the foundational elements of the study, such as the studys problem, purpose, research questions as well as the meanings ascribed to the collected data, by relating variables (quantitative research) or conceptualizing phenomenon (qualitative research) (Creswell, 2014, Chapter 3).

Respond 1:
The company I will be discussing is The Halliburton Company. Their most recent filed financial report is their 10-K which was filed on February 11, 2020. What I like about using the 10-K report is that it is possible to get a good idea of the historical Retained Earnings in addition to the current state of the Retained Earnings account. As of December 31, 2019 the balance of the Retained Earnings account was $11,989 million, down from $13,739 million in 2018. The changes in Retained Earnings were caused by a net loss for the year of $1,131 million and cash dividends paid of $630 million. The loss of $1,131 million is a decrease in income of 168% over 2018 in which net income was $1,656 million.
From an analysts' perspective having such a drastic decrease in revenue over such a short period of time does not typically sit well with investors, yet despite the fact that Halliburton experienced a net loss for the period they still paid

“Unemployment And Inflation”
Two of the biggest issues in macroeconomics are inflation and unemployment. Policymakers would like to keep both of these measures low. Often, however, there is a tradeoff between the two. A strong economy that lowers unemployment can put upward pressure on prices. A weak economy that lowers inflation can increase unemployment.
We currently have the benefit of both very low unemployment and inflation. But things could change and its good to have policy plans in place before either of these problems gets too bad.
Imagine that you are in charge of macroeconomic policy. Answer these questions, being sure to explain your answers.
- What are some of the problems, difficulties, or hardships caused by unemployment?
- What are some of the problems, difficulties, or hardships caused by inflation?
- If you had to make a choice today between a policy that would head off increases in inflation or increases in unemployment, which one w
