Gap Analysis

Examples of Gap Analysis in the following topics:

• Scorecard Measurement

  • Gap analysis is a tool that helps companies compare actual performance with potential performance.
  • Gap analysis can be conducted from the following perspectives:
  • Gap analysis lends itself to the measurement aspect of the balanced scorecard, ensuring that maximum value may be derived from the exercise.
  • Coupled with well-designed and well-thought out dimensions for the scorecard itself, gap analysis is very useful in assessing organizational health.

• The RATER Model

  • Gap Analysis can be applied to each of the five RATER areas.
  • Gap Analysis is a tool that helps companies compare actual performance with potential performance.
  • Gap 3: The service delivery gap.
  • Gap 4: The market communication gap.
  • Apply Gap Analysis to the RATER model to measure current and potential performance

• Using a Learning Management System

  • An LMS delivers content but also handles registering for courses, course administration, skills gap analysis, tracking, and reporting.
  • Ideally, learning management systems employ competency-based learning to discover learning gaps.

• Learning the Gender Gap

  • This implies that the gender gap stems from social, rather than biological, origins.
  • In order to determine whether the gender gap is a result of implicit or explicit discrimination, we can look at the adjusted and unadjusted wage gap.
  • The total wage gap in the United States is 20.4 percent.
  • Statistical analysis that includes those variables has produced results that collectively account for between 65.1 and 76.4 percent of a raw gender wage gap of 20.4 percent, and thereby leave an adjusted gender wage gap that is between 4.8 and 7.1 percent. " Thus, only a relatively small part of the wage gap is due to explicit discrimination .
  • This PSA by the European Union illustrates the gender pay gap in Europe.

• Age and Gender

  • In fact, such analysis have noted that the age gap appears to be shrinking, and some suggest this is likely do to both more women entering traditionally male-dominated occupational fields, and more men becoming active in their approach to healthcare access.
  • The combined effect of all these differences may or may not account for the longevity gap between men and women, but it is clear that women do live longer than men and that holds true around the world.

• Gap Junctions

  • Gap junction are also called communicating junctions, macula communicans, or nexuses. 
  • The number of gap junctions shared between two cells can vary as well.
  • The channels in a gap junctions aren’t always open. 
  • Gap junctions are found in many places throughout the body. 
  • Gap junctions are responsible for electrochemical and metabolic coupling.

• Overview of the IMRAD Model

  • Explain any "gaps" in the current research on this topic, and explain how your research contributes to closing that gap.
  • Include information about your population, sample frame, sample method, sample size, data-collection method, and data processing and analysis.
  • For instance, if there was an unexpectedly large gap between two data points, you should mention that the gap is unusual, but save your speculations about the reasons for the gap for the discussion section.

• The Gap Model

  • The Service Quality Model, also known as the GAP Model, was developed in 1985.
  • Gap between consumer expectation and management perception: This gap arises when the management or service provider does not correctly perceive what the customer wants or needs.
  • Gap between service quality specification and service delivery: This gap may arise in situations pertaining to the service personnel.
  • Gap between expected service and experienced service: This gap arises when the consumer misinterprets the service quality.
  • The diagram shows the different gaps in the model, including the Knowledge Gap discussed here.

• Employee Recruitment

  • Recruitment is the process of identifying an organizational gap and attracting, evaluating, and hiring employees to fill that role.
  • The different stages of recruitment are: job analysis, sourcing, screening and selection, and onboarding.
  • Job analysis involves determining the different aspects of a job through, for example, job description and job specification.

• Making Concessions

  • Here is an example of using a concession to introduce a flaw in another scholar's argument: "Smith's analysis of Danish politics provides an excellent account of the tensions within the state, particularly Hamlet and Claudius' competing claims to the throne.
  • His analysis of Hamlet's interactions with Gertrude, however, could benefit from further development. " This makes you seem like you gave fair consideration to Smith's article.
  • For example, if you do not think an author provided enough information to prove his or her point, draw attention to specific flaws and gaps.
