Part 1: Time Series analysis: discuss the revenue data similar to what I have showed in the Sear example is expected: scatter plot of revenue; linear trend; moving average; structural break. Your company revenue may not exhibit strong seasonality. For practice purpose, you are required to fit a moving average to your revenue data nevertheless.

 

First explain what the graph tells you as a manager about the trend, seasonality, and structural break in this company data. Then conduct research to find out how management actually made the decisions in the data.

Note: you do not need to provide the graphs that cannot be obtained using Excel (eg. the four figures shown in the second to last slide in the Time Series Analysis ppt file)

 

Part 2: Linear regression using Macro data:

a. Select one variable from the macro data file that you believe can be highly correlated with the revenue data.

b. Run a simple linear regression using the macro variable as the independent variable and the revenue data as the dependent variable. Report the regression results: show the excel output.

c. Note that the dates for the revenue data and macro variables do not necessarily match each other. You will need to determine the date range that has available data for all variables and drop the extra data. For example, if the date for GDP ranges from 2000 to 2015 and the revenue data ranges from 1995 to 2016. Then you would only keep data from 2000 to 2015.

d. Comment on the significance of the slope coefficient. Briefly discuss the relationship (positive or negative) between the dependent variable and the independent variable. Is the relationship expected?

e. Report R-squared and briefly comment on the fitness of the model based on your opinion.

You are a consultant that specializes in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). You have been hired by a small start-up manufacturing company, with less than 500 hundred employees that specializes in electronic devices. The CEO of the company would like to incorporate a management support system (MSS) into the organization to help in making business decisions.

Analyze the case “Determining Training Needs at Summit Credit Union”, which is found on page 153 of the text.

Do the following:

· Create a 4+ slide Narrated PowerPoint presentation that presents the material from the paper. This will be submitted with Gap Analysis and Training Recommendation.

Case-Determining Training Needs at Summit Credit Union:

 

Summit Credit Union, located in Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is a small company with 366 employees. A merger in 2015 doubled the size of the company and made it necessary to build a new corporate culture. Summit’s mission is to improve credit members’ financial lives to help them achieve their dreams. For example, in 2013 Summit members saved over $13 million based on higher savings rates, lower loan rates, and lower fees compared to for-profit banking institutions in Wisconsin. Summit has invested in creating a world-class learning function, which includes a team of seven professionals who are able to design and deliver instructor-led training as well as e-learning. Summit has shifted away from generic off-the-shelf training to develop online and face-to-face programs customized to employee needs and the company’s goals and initiatives. For example, the learning function is expected to play a key role in dealing with business issues such as efficiency, loan growth, and increased sales. All learning staff members are expected to contribute to new company initiatives, such as new products and services, systems, or regulations. Summit has recently identified a problem with its new lenders. They were starting to perform their jobs without the necessary skills, information, and knowledge that they needed. One potential reason for this is how the lending training curriculum is organized. New lenders attend a course on different types of loans and the lending system, start their jobs, and then later return for a course on lending guidelines, underwriting, and sales skills.

 

How would you conduct a needs assessment to determine if new lenders are starting their jobs without the necessary knowledge and skills to perform well, and if the organization of the training curriculum (or another training issue) is responsible for this problem? Who would be involved in the needs assessment?

information security uses administrative, technical (logical), and physical controls to mitigate risks related to organization’s assets.  A policy is an administrative control.

If no policy exist in the IT department, research shows that employees will default to a defacto policy.  A defacto policy means a policy that is in effect ,but not formally recognize.  To stop this for happening, It is important for students to understand how to take the cloud best practices discussed throughout this course and use them to create a cloud security policy.  Cloud security fundamentals and mechanisms is a huge part of the cloud security policy.

For this assignment, read the attached article: “Our Journey to the Cloud”.  Use the SANS email policy template

to create a policy for the cloud.  Please note, the SANS policy is a template you can use to structure your policy.  If you are having trouble with the links above, these supporting documents can be found in the Cloud Policy Assignment Documents folder.
