Read the attached WORD document called “2020 Cruise-Tesla Case” with care andanswer the questions in it.

Please watch “Multiples for Public Companies” in the Panopto folder on your left. You should pick at least four comparable companies (i.e., comparable in some way to Cruise), at least one of which is conceptually related, but is not actually a traditional auto company. For example, you might pick Ford, GM, Uber or Amazon, Lyft, or Zoom Video, because they are high-tech companies. Your choice— but be sure to explain your reasoning. 

This news article might give you some ideas about the EV industry 2021 January Cruise and Microsoft link up

In choosing your comparables, which are known in accounting as “guideline companies,” and in our text as “yardstick companies,” you can look at the nature of the business, as well as beta, ROE, and other financial ratios. They help you choose the comparables, and then you proceed to useand weigh (weighted average) P/E, P/B,P/S and  DCF. 

Note: I am the author of the attached case. I intend to publish it, I welcome any suggestions to this draft version.

_________________________________

I attach two very detailed spreadsheets about TSLA. You can use it to see the likely cash flows in future years, which you will use for the DCF (discounted cash flow) part of the valuation.

I also attach  a chapter on business valuation that I used in the Forensic Accounting course that I teach (ACCT 412/601). The document name is ACCT 412 601 Crumbley Forensic Accting Ch 17. I think it is more approachable and relevant to this assignment than our book’s chapters 10 and 11.

This assignment is a very significant portion of the course grade. Therefore, your team need to begin work on this now!  I am willing to see at least one draft (submit drafts right here in the ASSIGNMENT FOLDER, I have set it to allow unlimited re-submissions.  Always have all names on the first page. If someone does nothing, note that on the first page, also). 

QUICK AND DIRTY ACTION PLAN

1-Read the case, it is the fifth attachment. We will skip the DCF approach, to save you time.

2-Read the first attachment, to see a clean approach to using multiples.

3-Open the second attachment. It has the numbers you need.

4-From your comparables list, apply P/Earnings, P/Sales and P/Book value.

5-State the value of Cruise, by averaging those three metrics.

Assignment 7

how technological advancements and changes may affect how we can work to find solutions for the global threats discussed so far. Technological advances can and do affect development in positive and negative ways.

  • Besides biotechnology,      identify one technology that seems to have the greatest potential positive      effect on food security. Discuss any potential negative uses of that      technology. Do the benefits of these technologies outweigh the potential      negative consequences they have on food security? Why or why not?

Assignment 8

As addressed in the readings, technology has the potential to both solve global social problems and make them worse. For example, technological devices that can interact with the environment have the potential to reduce world hunger by helping to increase food production in developing countries. However, some technological advancements—such as weapons of war and automated assembly lines—can threaten life through armed conflict, pollution of the environment, and increased poverty through eliminated jobs.

  • Do advancements in      technology pose any direct and/or indirect threats to the global      environment? Choose one advancement and provide two examples of direct or      indirect threats in your explanation.

Assignment 9.) CRJ499

 

Report writing is an important aspect of your responsibilities as a criminal justice professional. For this assignment, you will review a scenario and complete a report commonly found in a particular criminal justice profession.
Review the four following options and choose one to complete this assignment. For your chosen option, review the associated scenario and complete the provided report template:
Option 4: Adult Parole and Probation Officer
  • Scenario: Read the following scenario:

The defendant, Lindsey Nahol, entered Sparkle Jewelry and asked the sales clerk to show her several pieces of expensive jewelry. When the clerk turned his back, the defendant slipped a diamond necklace into her purse and walked toward the exit. When the security guard attempted to stop the defendant, she kicked and scratched him. With help from the store clerk, the security guard restrained the defendant and held her in a room until the local police arrived and placed her under arrest for robbery. Ms. Nahol has been in jail for 60 days and has pleaded guilty to robbery and assault and battery. Judge Fairmont has requested a pre-sentence investigation and report.
The pre-sentence investigation reveals that Ms. Nahol, now 30, has been involved in the criminal justice system since she was 14, when she was adjudicated for car theft, for which she was placed on juvenile probation. She violated her probation but subsequently completed a 36-month probational term. As an adult, Ms. Nahol has been sentenced three times for various crimes including shoplifting, burglary, and possession of a controlled substance. She successfully completed her probation for these offenses one year ago. Ms. Nahol states that she stole a car when she was 14 because she wanted her friends to think that she was cool and that this is also why she started using drugs. As for the security officer, during the interview, Ms. Nahol stated that she was defending herself and standing her ground, because the security guard grabbed her first, when he was trying to prevent her from leaving the store.
Ms. Nahol has her high school diploma. She has not spoken to any of her family members in more than a year but states that she has very close friends who let her stay at their house anytime she wants. She spends her time thinking about her future and is interested in earning her degree in criminal justice from Strayer University and becoming a juvenile probation officer.
The prosecutor has asked for five years in prison, followed by five years of probation. The defense attorney has asked for time served plus two years of probation.

week 1 assignment 6020

/in /by

Along with several other sub-contractors, you have been given a six-week timeframe to evaluate and analyze the strategic needs of Enterprise X and present a plan to propel the company into a strategic shift for global presence and interconnectivity centered participation in the Information Systems marketplace. The current profile of the company and the vision of the owners and executives will guide you through this process. Ultimately, your knowledge and experience in Corporate Information Systems Management will guide your decision-making process as you study the project and prepare your proposal for a new corporate strategy. If successful, you will be hired to lead the company in its evolution toward your strategic plans.

Enterprise X

Enterprise X has been in the business of providing Information Systems and Information Technology (IS/IT) services as well as an array of software applications to small corporations for under market fees. The company was started before the turn of the century when many small corporations began to understand the benefits that the power of computing could provide them with, and when small to mid-range computing was becoming affordable to small businesses. A decade later, the introduction of Web-based operations helped the company achieve national prominence, but the corporate strategy remained conservative and risk averse. However, competition is forcing this now medium-sized company to contemplate global presence and even consider the possibility of an IPO.

Enterprise X is ready for a major strategic shift. The company has sub-contracted a team of corporate strategy experts to come up with an objective and technically sound new corporate strategy. You are among those selected to compete for the job of leading the company into the future. If successful, your strategy will put you in the radar screen of Corporate Strategy experts worldwide; and you will receive a sizable signing bonus.

Project Deliverables

Use the information provided, make assumptions, and conduct research to address the challenges of the project as if you were presented with a real-world business challenge. Each week you will meet with the corporate team assigned to work with you to discuss aspects of a new corporate strategy that you will be working on that week. At the end of each week you will present the corporate team with a position paper (completed as part of the Research component of the assignment) describing your findings, suggestions, and recommendations for the aspects of the strategy that you are presented with. You will also prepare a Power Point presentation summarizing those aspects of the new corporate strategy under development. At the end of the five-week process you will present your strategic plan for Enterprise X to the corporate team and the rest of the sub-contractors competing with you for the key position of Corporate Information Systems Manager.

Good luck with the project and may the best candidate win!

Part A. Research Component: Corporate Strategy Model

With respect to the Course Project scenario, consider what it will take to make the needed changes to the corporate business strategy for Enterprise X. In order to do so, you plan to propose strategic shifts in order to increase profits and minimize expenses while migrating to a global position and putting the company on the path to (IPO) going public.

Based on what you have learned so far about Enterprise X’s operations, analyze the strategic needs of the company and offer preliminary suggestions for how to improve the current hybrid business strategy by examining each of the four key approaches—enhance, expand, extend, and exit—as they relate to the products and services that the company offers, as well as the projected opportunities that internetwork and globalization will offer. Justify your ideas with references from the literature and the Web and if possible refer to case studies.

To submit your assignment:

  • Use Microsoft Word to write a 750- to 1000-word position paper that describes your findings and recommendations.
  • You may include diagrams and illustrations to enhance and/or clarify your position on the technical issues addressed.
  • Follow APA guidelines to write the report and cite your sources as appropriate.
  • Save the report as: SU_MIS6020_W1_Lastname_Firstinitial.docx and submit it to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Part B. Proposal Component: Strategic Shift

You have already researched pertinent issues and prepared a Position Paper that will guide you in presenting your proposed strategy for Enterprise X. Now you must also prepare the first part of your strategy proposal where you will present your vision for Enterprise X. You will demonstrate understanding of the challenges ahead for Enterprise X by analyzing the following issues with respect to the planned strategic shifts as described in your Position Paper. You are building the case for the new strategy by analyzing the corporation itself:

  1. The corporate staff that will be responsible for implementing the new strategy
  2. The geographies where the company will operate based on the planned global expansion
  3. The new and existing services and applications that will be offered

Keep in mind that each week you will work on a new component of your proposal presentation and, combined, these weekly presentations will become your final project proposal that will be published to the class in Week 5. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation with five to ten charts covering the aspects of your strategy described above.

IFSM Assignment

/in /by

 

Stage 1:   Strategic Use of Technology

Before you begin work on this assignment, be sure you have read the Case Study on Maryland Technology Consultants (MTC).  MTC is a fictional company created for IFSM 300’s Case Study.  It is also recommended that you review the additional Stages (2, 3 and 4) as well as the vendor brochure provided for Stage 4.  This will help you understand the overall report and potential solution.   

Overview

As a business analyst in the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO’s) department of Maryland Technology Consulting (MTC), you have been assigned to conduct an analysis, develop a set of system requirements, evaluate a proposed solution, and develop an implementation plan for an IT solution (applicant tracking or hiring system) to improve the hiring process for MTC.   This work will be completed in four stages, and each of these four stages will focus on one section of an overall Business Analysis and System Recommendation (BA&SR) report to be delivered to the CIO.   

Section I. Strategic Use of Technology (Stage 1) – The first step is to look at the organization and explain how an IT system could be used to support MTC’s strategies and objectives and support its decision-making processes.  

Section II. Process Analysis (Stage 2) – Next you will evaluate current processes and workflow and explain how MTC can use IT to improve its processes and workflow.

Section III. Requirements (Stage 3) –Then you will identify key stakeholder expectations for the new technology solution to support MTC’s hiring process and develop a set of requirements.

Section IV. System Recommendation (Stage 4) – Finally, you will review the provided Vendor brochure for a proposed applicant tracking system and explain how it meets the requirements and what needs to be done to implement the system within MTC.

The sections of the BA&SR will be developed and submitted as four staged assignments. For stages 1, 2, and 3, only the material associated with that stage will be graded. The stage 2, 3, and 4 submissions will include the stage that is due, which will be graded according to the assignment requirements and rubric criteria, as well as include all previously submitted stages with any revisions made.    It is recommended that when preparing stages 2, 3, and 4, you review any feedback from previous assignments to help improve the effectiveness of your overall report and increase the likelihood of a well-written final submission.  For stage 4, the complete BA&SR submission includes grading criteria for evaluating if the document is a very effective and cohesive assemblage of the four sections, is well formatted across all sections and flows smoothly from one section to the next.  

Assignment – BA&SR:   Introduction and Section I. Strategic Use of Technology  

Write an appropriate Introduction to the entire BA&SR Report (guidelines are provided below).  Section I of the BA&SR document contains an organizational analysis and identifies ways in which an information system to improve the hiring process can help MTC, the organization in the case study, meet its strategic goals and meet the information needs of various levels of management.   

Using the case study, assignment instructions, Content readings, and external research, develop your Introduction and Section I. Strategic Use of Technology.  To start, review the readings in Weeks 1 and 2.  The case study tells you that the executives and employees at MTC have identified a need for an effective and efficient applicant tracking or hiring system.  As you review the case study, use the assignment instructions to take notes to assist in your analysis.

Use the outline format, headings and tables provided and follow all formatting instructions below.  For Stage 1, create a title page and reference page that will be used for all 4 stages.

Apply specific information from the case study to address each area.

Introduction

Begin your report with a clear, concise, well organized introduction to explain why you are writing and what is to come in the complete BA&SR report (not just Stage 1).  This should briefly set the context for MTC – business purpose, environment, and current challenges related to hiring.  Then specifically provide what is to come in the full report.   Keep your audience in mind – this is an internal report for the CIO of MTC.  Provide an introduction in one paragraph that engages the reader’s interest in continuing to read your report.  

  1. Strategic Use of Technology  
     
  2. Business Strategy – In this section, you should clearly present – at a broad level – what MTC’s business strategy is (refer to case study information), then what issues the current manual hiring process may present that interfere with achieving that strategy, and how improving the hiring process will benefit MTC and support its business strategy.  (Use two to three strong sentences that explain how the system would support the strategy and justify your position with specifics from the Case Study.)   
     
  3. Competitive Advantage – First, provide an overview of the competitive environment that MTC is currently operating in based on information from the case study. Then explain how and why MTC can use the new hiring system to increase its competitive advantage and help achieve its overall business strategy.  Your explanation should demonstrate your understanding of what competitive advantage is as well as how improving the hiring process will help achieve MTC’s competitive advantage. Include how MTC can use the type of data or information that will be in the hiring system to improve its competitive advantage.  (Paragraph of 4-5 sentences)  
     
  4. Strategic Objectives– Review the four Strategic Goals presented in the Strategic Business Plan section of the MTC Case Study.  The CIO has asked you to come up with an example of an objective to help meet each goal and explain how a new hiring system would help achieve that objective.  As you can see from the example provided in the table below, an objective is a statement that is clear (not vague) and is something that can be measured or evaluated to determine whether it has been met or not. An important part of setting objectives is that they are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound).  In order to evaluate whether an objective has been achieved, it’s important to be able to measure it.  Consider this difference – Student wants to get a degree (non-specific and not measurable) vs.  Student wants to earn a degree in Information Systems Management by May 2020.  (This objective provides specific what and when.)    First, insert an introductory opening sentence for this table.  Then, for each of the rows listed below, complete the table with the requested information.  (Provide an introductory sentence and copy the table.   Create an objective for each of the 3 remaining goals and explain using 2-3 complete sentences for each.) Note: This is not about an objective to implement a hiring system or broad business goals but rather the focus is on objectives that would be supported by the use of a technology solution to support/improve the hiring process.  
     

       

Strategic Goal

(from case study)

Objective

(clear, measurable and time-bound)

Explanation

(2-3 sentences)

 

Increase MTC Business Development by winning new contracts in the areas of IT Consulting

 

Build a cadre of consultants internationally to provide remote research and analysis support to MTC’s onsite teams in the U. S.

EXAMPLE PROVIDED – (Retain text but remove this label and gray shading in your report)

Increase international recruiting efforts and employ 5 research analysts in the next 12 months.  

The new hiring system would allow applicants from around the world to apply online, increasing the number of international applicants.   It would enable the recruiters to carefully monitor the applications for these positions, identify the necessary research and analysis skills needed, and screen resumes for these key skills.   Recruiters could quickly view the number of applicants and identify when additional recruiting efforts are needed to meet the objective.  

 

Continue to increase MTC’s ability to quickly provide high quality consultants to awarded contracts to best serve the clients’ needs

 

Increase MTC’s competitive advantage in the IT consulting marketplace by increasing its reputation for having IT consultants who are highly skilled in leading edge technologies and innovative solutions for its clients

  1. Decision Making – In the reading, “How Information Supports Decision Making,” you were introduced to the information requirements of various levels of the organization.  First, insert an introductory opening sentence for this section.  Then, for each of the management roles listed below, complete the table with the appropriate level (as defined in the reading – one word is all that is required in this column), an example of a specific decision supported by the Hiring System to be made at that level, and what type of information from the hiring system would be needed to support that decision. Think about what information the hiring system could provide about applicants, etc., and then identify an example of a decision that might be made by each level of management. A decision is a choice or conclusion that the management might make about business operations or future planning.  This is not about the decisions about implementing a new technology solution or about general responsibilities of each role. Example: A decision example could be stated as:  CEO decides to expand MTC’s services to include cybersecurity. He can make this decision because the hiring system provides information that many applicants have the needed skills, certifications and experience to enable MTC to easily recruit IT consultants in this area. (Provide an introductory sentence then copy the table and insert information within, writing in complete sentences.)

Senior/Executive Managers  

(Decisions made by the CEO and the CFO at MTC supported by the hiring system.)

 

Middle Managers

(Decisions made by the Director of HR and the Manager of Recruiting supported by the hiring system.)

 

Operational Managers

(Decisions made by the line managers in the organization who are hiring for their projects supported by the hiring system.)

Formatting Your Assignment

Consider your audience – you are writing in the role of an MTC business analyst and your audience is MTC and your boss, the CIO.  Don’t discuss MTC as if the reader has no knowledge of the organization.  Also do not reference “stage #” or “case study” – these are class terms and would not be in a business report. Use third person consistently throughout the report.  In third person, the writer avoids the pronouns I, we, my, and ours. The third person is used to make the writing more objective by taking the individual, the “self,” out of the writing. This method is very helpful for effective business writing, a form in which facts, not opinion, drive the tone of the text. Writing in the third person allows the writer to come across as unbiased and thus more informed.

  • Create a title page that includes:  The title of report, company name, your name, Course and Section number and date (revise date with each submission).
     
  • In Stage 1, you are preparing the first part of a 4-stage report.  Use the structure, headings, and outline format provided here for your report.  Use the numbering/lettering in the assignment instructions as shown below.

HOW TO WRITE A COURSE WORK?

/in /by

  

Creation from term papers of any kind is a challenging task. Classical housework is almost obsolete in the exam, but has grown in importance in the area of ​​seminars, semester papers, or midterm exams. Its real goal is to train potential lawyers in the writing of scientific articles and the necessary research in an unknown area of ​​law.

This is not easy, especially for beginners, because the volume of work itself is significant, not to mention having to face something completely new on your own and without assistance. So to make it easier to work, https://payforessay.pro/do-my-paper/ should provide some tips and tricks with which you can avoid some problems and reduce their severity.

As with any complex process, Murphy’s Law comes into play here, so it’s best to keep things that can go wrong to a minimum beforehand. First of all, make sure you have good working equipment. This includes a well-functioning home computer, as well as a printer, legal texts, textbooks, scripts, and possibly comments as well – the latter, however, are usually very expensive. Any type of laptop that you can also put in the library. You will also need a decent word processing program that can do footnotes, such as html homework help, and you should practice using this program a little.

The computer must be protected by antivirus software, and you must also make an external backup (such as a USB drive or any other external storage device) of the work you do every day, because there is nothing more frustrating than losing productivity. within days or weeks through simple traps such as a virus attack, laptop theft or hard drive crash. It is imperative that you keep older versions of your work so that any discarded passages that you want to reinstall later are easily accessible without wasting time.

If you don’t have a laptop or something similar, you should consider purchasing one. If this option is not available to you, you can rent a laptop and use the assignment help – it is too practical to do without it. The laptop should be password protected from unauthorized access, and of course, you should also make sure it isn’t stolen. A cell phone with an Internet connection can also be very useful at times.

Most of them can be used as an Internet access for laptop computers, especially smartphones with their displays are mostly large, and their capabilities can also be used as Internet access on their own. However, reception is usually quite poor, especially in enclosed spaces, and due to the often low baud rate, you should be patient with some pages until they accumulate.

Eleven Blue Men (Berton Roueché)

 

The true story of the eleven blue men by Berton Roueché is one of the staple readings for many who study public health and epidemiology. The story takes place in late 1944 and centers upon eleven men who, aside from their breakfast location, have little to do with one another. However, what makes this story unique and of interest today is that it highlights the speed and importance of a proper epidemiologic investigation.

Read “Eleven Blue Men (Links to an external site.).”

After reading, answer the following questions:

  • Describe the 10 steps of an outbreak investigation as it pertains to this particular event in 1944. That is, for each step highlight where in the event that step occurred.
  • On your own, draw the epidemic curve  for this incident. In your submitted assignment identify the type of curve it represents.
  • Calculate and state the incubation period for the illness affecting the eleven blue men.
  • Identify three questions that Dr. Greenberg asked the patients.
  • Identify three questions that Dr. Pellitteri asked the patients.
  • Identify three questions that the epidemiologists asked the Eclipse Cafeteria employees.
  • Identify the culprit. Also, what about these men was unique when compared to the other people who ate in the cafeteria that day?
  • Provide at least two additional questions you would have liked the investigators to have asked the patients or employees. Why do you feel these questions would have helped?

Capstone Paper

/in /by

The final paper is a culmination of your research throughout the term. The overall purpose of the paper is to prepare a strategic plan to overcome the identified challenges and grow the business over the next three years.

Your strategic plan must include the following sections:

Week 1 – Section 1:

Below is a list of five large and significant organizations. Research each organization and select one as the topic for the final paper:

  • CSX – Transportation industry
  • JBS – Food industry
  • University of Arizona Global Campus (formerly known as Ashford University) – Higher education
  • Nokia – Technology industry
  • Simon Properties Group – Real Estate and Retail

Each organization is unique and has important strategic challenges. Once you select an organization, begin a detailed search to identify the history, industry, mission and vision, values and purpose, the leadership within, and potential competition.

Also, research and locate a news item (within the last 12 to 24 months) that is affecting the company and posing a challenge to its strategy. Challenges come in many different forms and could be positive or negative. You may discover leadership issues, legal or legislative issues, environmental challenges, human resource concerns, product design and research challenges, growth challenges, or possibly financial issues. Keep in mind that the identified challenge will be the core of the strategic review and recommendations developed throughout the paper.

Once your research is complete, prepare Section 1 of the paper. Section 1 must have at a minimum three full pages of content (excluding the cover and reference pages). You must include at a minimum three resources that provide qualified information related to the organization. Wikipedia is not a qualified resource. Use the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) document for additional guidance. Include the text as a scholarly resource to support theory and concepts related to strategy. During the construction of Section 1, be specific and refrain from making assumptions.  .

  • To complete this assignment, you must address the following:
  • Select an organization.
  • Identify the history, the industry, the mission and vision, the values and purpose, the leadership within, and potential competition.
  • Research and locate a new item that is affecting the company and posing a challenge to its strategy.

Week 2 – Section 2:

During Week 2, much focus is placed on various strategic thinking models and the impact upon the overall organizational strategic process. Now that you have a broad knowledge of your chosen organization, it is time to dig a bit deeper into the structure and the process by which decisions are made within the company. Define the specific organizational design and the governance structure of the chosen company. Support your choices with specific examples and research.

During Week 1, you researched and identified a specific problem or challenge the organization is experiencing. Describe the challenge and explain why it is a problem for the organization. Include how the problem is or has the potential to affect the strategies of the company. Be specific and support your findings.

Section 2 of the paper must have at a minimum two full pages of content (excluding the cover and reference pages). You must include at a minimum two scholarly resources (in addition to the text) that support specific strategies used to prepare the paper. Wikipedia is not a qualified resource. Use the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) document for additional guidance. Include the text as a scholarly resource to support theory and concepts related to strategy. During the construction of Section 2, be specific and refrain from assumption.

Week 3 – Section 3:

When an organization is faced with a challenge, or perhaps a new opportunity, care must be taken to properly diagnose the issues at hand so that proper actions are developed to accomplish the task in the most effective manner possible. During Week 2, you clearly defined a challenge for your chosen organization. During Week 3, you will develop a SWOT analysis targeting specifics of the organization that will impact the potential outcomes of the challenge.

Prior to building the SWOT analysis, review the following websites for ideas and guidance on developing proper questioning for the analysis:

Develop a SWOT analysis for the organization you are researching for your Final Paper. Define one or two findings for each section of the SWOT analysis that would be pertinent and specific to the outcome of the challenge identified during Week 2. For each section of the SWOT:

  • provide a definition for the section,
  • define a characteristic of the organization for the section, and use the defined questioning as the catalyst for the characteristic
  • and then, tell why that finding is important to resolving the challenge.

EXAMPLE: Using scholarly research, define the letter S in SWOT. Then, through research, define a strength of the organization that is vital to resolving the challenge defined during Week 2. Include the reasoning as to why the strength is important and relate your findings to your SWOT questions. Continue this process for each letter of the SWOT analysis.

Conclude this section of the paper with a paragraph briefly discussing the importance of the findings and how they will help reach a logical solution to the challenge and the possible type of strategy that best fits the process.

Section 3 of the paper must have at a minimum two full pages of content (excluding the cover and reference pages). You must include at a minimum of two scholarly resources (in addition to the text) that support specific strategies used to prepare the paper. Wikipedia is not a qualified resource. Use the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) document for additional guidance. Include the text as a scholarly resource to support theory and concepts related to strategy. During the construction of Section 3, be specific and refrain from assumption.

****Week 5 – Final Section and Requirements of the Capstone Paper:****

The final section of the Capstone Paper must review the challenge and recommend a strategy for addressing the challenge based on research. Along with the strategy, define the potential financial or budgetary impact the strategy might present, including the additional costs that may arise if the problem or issue is not resolved effectively. Describe the metrics that the organization might consider for measuring the outcomes of the strategy utilized to resolve the challenge.

The entire paper will consist of the sections written during Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 5. It should begin with an executive summary, which is an abbreviated capture of the entire paper and as such should touch upon all major points while engaging the reader. The paper should close with a proper conclusion summarizing the concepts discussed in the paper. Remember, the summary is not a reiteration of the assignment requirements but a focus on the concepts and strategies related to the defined organizational challenge.

  • Your paper must be at a minimum of 10 pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Writing Center. In addition, you must use at least five scholarly sources to support and defend theories, informational resources to define and describe the organization, and the course text for further support. Remember to incorporate information that you have learned from this course as well as your personal experience. Review feedback received on assignments submitted during Weeks 1, 2, and 3. All revisions, corrections, or recommendations must be included in the final paper.

PART I – DATA, VARIABLES & REASONING (20%)   – Use word

Section 1

Dependent variable: Choose the main variable that you want to measure versus other variables. This will go on the vertical axis of your scatter plot. Provide rationale for why you chose this variable and brainstorm different variables that may impact it. Research the variable on the internet and collect data for at least 10 years (the more the better) or over at least 10 different places in the same year. 

Note: Statistics Canada is our most reliable source for data and one of the best sources to get a wide variety of data. Be sure to cite your source in proper MLA or APA format. You may want to revisit your Portfolio entry from Unit 5 Activity 2 for the data that you found from Statistics Canada. You can also revisit the tutorial video in that activity.

Section 2  

Independent variables: Choose the independent variables that you want to measure against the dependent variable. You will find 2 different variables for which you can create a line of best fit with to test correlation. This will be your biggest challenge of the assignment. You need to find variables such that they overlap with the data that you chose for your dependent variable. 

For example: If you found the years 1990 to 2010 for your dependent variable, you will need to find those same years for each of your independent variables. If you had data across the provinces and territories for your independent variable for 2016, you will need data across the provinces and territories for 2016 for each of your independent variables.  

Please use this rubric to review what is required to be submitted:Final Culminating Project Rubric

PART II – STATISTICAL ANALYSIS (50%) – use excel or number for macbook

Section 1

One variable measures with graphs and distributions: Describe each of the 3 of your variables (two independent and one dependent) by calculating and making reference to the measures of central tendency, spread, and creating a histogram and box plots. Describe the distribution of your data as well. For each of the variables, describe the meaning of each of the measures as you state what they are.  

Section 2  

Two variable measures with linear models and correlations: Create 2 scatterplots, one for each of your independent variables. Create the linear model to describe the relationship. Describe the strength of the correlation and the meaning of the slopes and y-intercepts.  

Section 3  

Identify and remove relevant points: Identify one point on each scatter plot that has the greatest impact on the model by using residual plots. Describe the percentile that the point would be if the data was normally distributed, by using the mean, standard deviation and z-Score. Describe the impact of the point by comparing the new linear model to the original.  

Section 4  

Classification of correlation type: For each of the models, classify the correlation type as cause and effect, reverse cause and effect, accidental or common cause. Explain your choice and brainstorm possible common cause factors where applicable.

PART III – FINAL REPORT (30%) – use Word or pages

Section 1

Conclusions from linear models: Make conclusions from the two variable analysis taking into consideration the removal of points that are far from the line of best fit. Discuss the overall impact, if any, that the independent variables have on the dependent variable by referring to other sections of the report.

Section 2

Areas for improvement and recommendations for further exploration: Identify the areas of improvement in your study. If you had more time and resources, what are you still curious about that you may want to pursue further. Identify the possible biases in your investigation and overall how confident you are with your conclusions. 

Note: It is perfectly fine to say that the conclusions come with many red flags and should merely be used to begin a discussion on further studies
