MIS2001S Data Analysis for Decision Makers

MIS2001S Data Analysis for Decision Makers

Project Aims:
Your team has been appointed to advise a manager on the applications of data analysis and statistics in business as an aid to decision making. She has asked you to write a management report to include:

1. A summary of your data using descriptive statistics and data presentation techniques (use Excel for this task);

2. An example of a discrete random variable relevant to your topic and its probability distribution;

3. Inferential Statistics on a relevant continuous random variable;

4. An application of Regression on a relevant variable.

Source Data:

1. Open Data: You may use any open source data appropriate to the application of business data analysis. As there are so many, we have identified a small subset for you to choose from on Blackboard. Your report should reflect on the data source and related data issues.
2. As an alternative, if you cannot identify a suitable Open Data source, you will find a fallback topic and sample data for your team on Blackboard.

The Management Report: The aim of your report is to provide a meaningful interpretation of your data analysis to the business manager, demonstrating its use in decision making. Choose one discrete random variable and one continuous variable relevant to your topic. For example, a service provider may be interested in a discrete random variable counting the number of orders they receive per day, and a continuous random variable measuring the length of time it takes them to complete these orders.

To ensure a favourable response to your report, you need to explain to your manager any statistical terminology and techniques that you use in your report. Graphs may help the manager in understanding the concepts you are outlining. Rough work and calculations should not appear in the main body of the report but can be included in an appendix.

As this is a management report, format your report appropriately. Marks will be deducted for unprofessional aspects of your typed report such as misspellings, poor grammar, unreferenced sources or inappropriate graphs.

Management Report Components:

1. Calculate at least 2 measures of central tendency and at least 2 measures of variation for your Continuous Variable sample data. Explain the results and meaning of these measures in your report. Include a summary of the data in your report using a graph or table. Use Excel for this task.

2. Explain what your Discrete Random Variable is and what probability distribution can be used to describe it. Give some examples and interpretation of the usage of the probability distribution function and outline its business relevance.

3. Either do 3.a or 3.b

a. Set up and conduct a hypothesis test relevant to the continuous random variable. Choose an appropriate level of significance for your test.

4. Show how Regression techniques can be used to extrapolate or interpolate values for your dependent variable.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT (OFFICE RELOCATION, IT IMPLEMENTATION)

PROJECT MANAGEMENT (OFFICE RELOCATION, IT IMPLEMENTATION)

Description
TASK 1,2,3 IS ONLY THE INITIAL PROJECT THAT YOU NEED TO READ IN ORDER TO COMPLETE
TASK 4,5,6
THE 7 PAGES ARE ONLY ABOUT TASK 4,5,6.
Please divide each point properly AND clearly. In this paper must be created tables and explain the key points
strictly to the project in question.
Attached you have the notes ( please read carefully there are sample of approach such as tables and also
guidelines, most important there are the common errors that I want you to avoid!) Step to do: read the initial
paper Task 1,2,3. Then, start task 4 reading my notes attached. Create tables and give some context about them.
Understand properly the procedures. Task 5 create tables ( there are sample tables attached, use them) follow the
notes AND PLEASE READ ALL THE NOTES BECAUSE WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER AND
ESPECIALLY WILL TELL WHAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO AND WHAT TO DO. TASK 6
FINALISE THE PROJECT AND DRAW A CONCLUSION. Feel free to reach me out if needed, No more
extention will be given to this project, hence start working on this at your earliest convenience and follow my
guidelines please.
28/12/2016 Register now with WritersHub.org!
http://www.writershub.org/writer/orders/98889#instructions 4/6
No theory and references needed, only case study based on the first 3 tasks of the project, please read to
understand what the paper is about and how to do Task 4,5,6. The project that you need to evaluate is only the IT
implementation that has been worked in task 1,2,3 and here I need you to finish up the paper based on the first
part of the project. All you need is attached, not further readings are needed to complete the coursework. Please
be precise and divide each point properly. Be detailed and strict to the project in question ( only IT
implementation for the office relocation)
Task 4 ?
In this section you must:
3.1 describe and assess alternative project team structures
3.3 design processes for quality management of the project
3.4 design procedures for how project change proposals will be managed
In this section the learner must produce a balanced assessment of different team structures. The two designs
must be realistic, practical and well described and show an understanding of these aspects of project
management
Task 5
This section of the Handbook covers monitoring and control of projects.
4.1 Identify issues and risks that may impede a project
o Produce two tables which identify (4.1 + 4.2)
o the issues and risks that may impede a project
4.2 Design systems for monitoring and appraising the status of a project
o the issues and risks likely to be encountered in the final stages of a project
4.3 Design control systems to detect and manage issues arising in the course of projects
5.1 Identify issues and risks likely to be encountered in the final stages of a project.
The two tables should identify a comprehensive range of issues and risks likely to impede projects generally or
be encountered towards the end of projects. The descriptions and designs need to show that the learner
understands how to monitor and control projects; the issues which arise in projects and how these should be
managed.
Task 6
The final section of the Handbook is an assessment of the tasks needed to be completed in the final stages of a
project.
5.2 Assess the necessary project tasks to be completed in the final stages of a project
The assessment of the project tasks which need to be completed must cover the project process, results and
future actions such as handover
