Assignment: Final Project—Business Memo—Selecting and Using Data Resources and Systems

This week you will continue to work on your Final Project, which is due in Week 7. By Day 7, you will submit a business memo, written to your Instructor, that explains how you plan to incorporate your learning from the week into your Final Project. This will not be a “perfect” synopsis at this point, but it should capture the main themes and important ideas from the week. Your memo should include the following:

  • Your preliminary summary of how you are planning to incorporate this week’s learning into your Final Project
  • Your ideas and recommendations for how your organization can mitigate the short-term and long-term issues that can arise when selecting and using data resources and systems
  • Brief descriptions of the types of data resources, data processing, and storage systems chosen
  • An explanation of how the organization might manage the potential implications of those selections, while taking advantage of the opportunities they afford to sustain the business or gain a competitive advantage 
  • Other relevant recommendations or issues that you identified, with a brief analysis of why they are important

Note: If you are unable to find relevant information, you may want to look for similar information at /for other similar publically traded companies. You may find relevant information that will enable you to make appropriate inferences about your organization and make reasonable assumptions so you can proceed with your project.

If you have questions about how to apply what you are learning or how to find the most relevant information for your organization’s needs, please discuss your choice with your Instructor using the Contact the Instructor link in the classroom.

General Guidance on Assignment Length: Your Week 3 Assignment will typically be 1.5–3 pages (0.75–1 page(s) if single spaced), excluding a title page (not required for this Assignment) and references.

As a best practice for this course, as you engage and complete your weekly activities, you will capture notes on your learning for each week and add them to your Final Project Portfolio, whichyou will use to formulate your Final Project. By the time you turn in your Final Project in Week 7, your working Final Project Portfolio document will contain your notes on the resources you found relevant in each week, as well as your ideas for how your organization can improve its business information systems management with respect to each week’s main themes. You should also include your analyses of the implications of your recommendations, as well as reasons why your recommendations are important. You will update your Final Project Portfolio each week.

This week you are encouraged to begin setting up your presentation in PowerPoint. You should complete a title slide and 1–2 slides with your preliminary recommendations for your organization as they relate to this week’s learning.

Note: Neither your Final Project Portfolio nor your preliminary slides will be submitted for grading this week.

LT assignment week 4

 

I have attached an Excel dataset to this post. The dataset is a small one –

 it has three variables –

             Gender (1 = Females and 0 = Males),

            Relationship Status (1 = Single, 2 = Married,

            and 3 = Divorced), and

            Life Satisfaction (this is a variable that ranges from 1 to 5, with higher values                                  indicative of greater levels of life satisfaction).

 

What I would like you to do is either (you don’t have to do both)

1.    run an independent samples t-test

2.    or an ANOVA to see if there are statistically significant mean differences on the life satisfaction variable.

 

Keep in mind, an independent samples t-test is used when you want to compare people in two different groups on some continuous variable.

 

An ANOVA, on the other hand, is used when you want to compare people in three or more groups on some continuous variable.

 

So, if you want to know if males and females (the gender variable) differ from one another (in a statistically significant manner) on life satisfaction you would run an independent samples t-test.

 If you want to compare single, married, and divorced individuals to one another on life satisfaction, because you have three groups, you would use the ANOVA analysis.

 

After you have run the analysis, write up a summary of the results (in 1-2 sentences) and submit your summary, along with your SPSS output, using the Assignment Files link.

The goal is to reduce potential tensions in the workplace among employees of different races.

Part II is to be titled, Historical Issues of Different Races in the Workplace and How to Handle Them.

This section should discuss the following: 

  • Different races now or likely to be in the workforce of the future, based on the U.S. populations racial demographic changes
  • Particular issues that create tensions among the different groups
  • How supervisors need to address these issues that could potentially cause ten

Discussion Board  150-250 words

 

As the manager of human resources (HR) in a medium-size company that is involved with several Affirmative Action initiatives, you have noticed that the racial makeup of your workforce has an increasing number of multiracial employees (or workers who are the offspring of a biracial couple). You are wondering how these employees should be counted in any kind of attempt to implement Affirmative Action.

In other words, if future hiring is meant to make the workforce relatively proportionate to the population’s racial mix, should workers who are, for example, offspring of an African-American mother and a Caucasian father be counted as White, African-American, or neither? Explain your answer.

Discuss the following information:

  • The trend being seen in the general population in terms of people who could be characterized as biracial.
  • Study the following table and comment on the views of multiracial people regarding Affirmative Action found  

    Interviewees’ Attitudes Toward Affirmative Action

    View on Affirmative Action

    Overall

    Pro-AA and in favor of biracial persons qualifying

    58%

    Mixed feelings about AA but believe all biracial persons should qualify

    23%

    Pro-AA but unsure whether or not biracial persons who appear white should qualify

    4%

    Pro-AA but believe biracial persons who appear white should not qualify

    4%

    Opposed to AA but believe biracial persons should qualify as long as it exists

    11.5%

    (Korgen, 1999)

 

  • How do you think biracial people should be counted in terms of Affirmative Action initiatives? Explain your answer from an objective perspective. This should be the main focus in your discussion.

Health Promotion and Wellness

Health Care and Its Related Issues

There are several ways to measure the health status of a community or an entire population. In order to understand the implications of legal and regulatory policies in health care promotion and wellness, it is mandatory to analyze the impact of the social needs of local populations on their health care issues.

Based on your understanding of the topic, create a report in a Microsoft Word document answering the following questions:

  • What are the benefits measuring the health status of individuals aged fifteen to sixty four years in a particular community or an entire population? What effect do these benefits have on the health status of the community or the entire population?
  • Which one health statistic has had the most significant impact on the health care profession in the entire US or your community in the last year? Discuss.
  • Identify one major local social issue currently being addressed by the local elected officials (major, governor, or town council).
    • What ramifications does this issue have on the local population?
    • Does this issue have any legal impact on the community? Why or why not?

For a successful health status of a community, school health is critical to our future. How can we incorporate a program within the school focusing on the safety and well-being of students along with the social needs and health care issues?

  • If you are asked to develop a school health policy for an elementary school, who would be the stakeholders in this process?
  • What types of resources will you need to develop a program?
  • How will the focus of the program target health promotion or wellness?
  • What considerations should be taken into consideration when developing the program, such as the physical and social environment?
  • What factors are taken into consideration when developing a program targeting elementary school age children versus adult?
  • What anticipated or perceived objections would you expect?
  • As we continue to move in the twenty first century, what elementary school health or safety issues are emerging?

In a randomized comparative experiment on the effect of calcium in the diet on blood

In a randomized comparative experiment on the effect of calcium in the diet on blood pressure, researchers divided 54 healthy white males at random into two groups. One group received calcium; the other, a placebo. At the beginning of the study, the researchers measured many variables on the subjects.
