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.

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

Sandwich Blitz, Inc.

Unit 7 [140: Introduction to Management]
Page 1 of 2
Assignment Details and Rubric
This week’s Assignment consists of reading a scenario about Sandwich Blitz, Inc. and writing about
how self-managed teams could be used at Sandwich Blitz to allow Dalman more time to devote to
growing the business.
Lately, Dalman has mostly been visiting the operating locations and addressing manager operations
concerns. Lei has concentrated on financial matters. Both Dalman and Lei are pleased with Sandwich
Blitz?s past performance but feel that they are each unable to devote their time and energy to take the
business to the next level. All of their time seems to be spent addressing small problems within the
existing operation. Dalman has heard that other businesses have successfully used a team approach
to managing with good results and wonders if this could help him as well as the location managers.
After reading the scenario above, the section on ?Self-managed Teams? in your assigned textbook
readings and completing the practice Learning Activities, type a paper in which you explain the
difference between traditional and team work environments, how self-managed teams could be
successfully implemented at Sandwich Blitz, and how these teams could contribute to Sandwich
Blitz?s success.
This Assignment addresses the following unit outcomes:
? Distinguish between traditional versus team environments.
? Describe how teams contribute to an organization?s effectiveness.
? Explain how an effective team is built.
Submission Instructions:
Draft your Assignment paper at least 2 full double-spaced pages in length, using size 12 point font in
MS Word format. Be sure your paper is well written in paragraph form, with correct spelling, grammar,
and punctuation. Be sure to name your file according to the Kaplan file-naming convention. You may

Growing the Business From External Sources

Joint ventures, acquisitions, mergers, and leveraged buyouts are motivated either by offensive actions or defensive actions. That is, they are utilized in times of organizational stability and success on the one hand and in the midst of organizational chaos and failure on the other.

Either way, these four models, or strategies, have an impact on organizational growth and business processes. Likewise, they have a strong entrepreneurial character?that is, they can be motivated by entrepreneurial drive, or they can spawn ideas for new ventures.

Take a moment at the beginning of this week to reflect on and research real-world examples of joint ventures, acquisitions, mergers, and leveraged buyouts.

With these thoughts in mind, and based on your reading for this week:

Consider the advantages and disadvantages of these four venture growth strategies. How have corporate entrepreneurs used them to grow their organizations? Conversely, what are the risks associated with these strategies, and why do they sometimes fail?
