About Your Signature Assignment
This signature assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The signature assignments might be graded with an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for program improvements.
Purpose of Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is for students to synthesize the concepts learned throughout the course. This assignment will provide students an opportunity to build critical thinking skills, develop businesses and organizations, and solve problems requiring data by compiling all pertinent information into one report.
Assignment Steps
Resources: Microsoft Excel®, Signature Assignment Databases, Signature Assignment Options, Part 3: Inferential Statistics
Scenario: Upon successful completion of the MBA program, say you work in the analytics department for a consulting company. Your assignment is to analyze one of the following databases
- Consumer Food
Select one of the databases based on the information in the Signature Assignment Options.
Provide a 1,600-word detailed, statistical report including the following:
- Explain the context of the case
- Provide a research foundation for the topic
- Present graphs
- Explain outliers
- Prepare calculations
- Conduct hypotheses tests
- Discuss inferences you have made from the results
This assignment is broken down into four parts:
- Part 1 – Preliminary Analysis
- Part 2 – Examination of Descriptive Statistics
- Part 3 – Examination of Inferential Statistics
- Part 4 – Conclusion/Recommendations
Part 1 – Preliminary Analysis (3-4 paragraphs)
Generally, as a statistics consultant, you will be given a problem and data. At times, you may have to gather additional data. For this assignment, assume all the data is already gathered for you.
State the objective:
- What are the questions you are trying to address?
Describe the population in the study clearly and in sufficient detail:
- What is the sample?
Discuss the types of data and variables:
- Are the data quantitative or qualitative?
- What are levels of measurement for the data?
Part 2 – Descriptive Statistics (3-4 paragraphs)
Examine the given data.
Present the descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, variance, CV, and five-number summary).
Identify any outliers in the data.
Present any graphs or charts you think are appropriate for the data.
Note: Ideally, we want to assess the conditions of normality too. However, for the purpose of this exercise, assume data is drawn from normal populations.
Part 3 – Inferential Statistics (2-3 paragraphs)
Use the Part 3: Inferential Statistics document.
- Create (formulate) hypotheses
- Run formal hypothesis tests
- Make decisions. Your decisions should be stated in non-technical terms.
Hint: A final conclusion saying “reject the null hypothesis” by itself without explanation is basically worthless to those who hired you. Similarly, stating the conclusion is false or rejected is not sufficient.
Part 4 – Conclusion and Recommendations (1-2 paragraphs)
Include the following:
- What are your conclusions?
- What do you infer from the statistical analysis?
- State the interpretations in non-technical terms. What information might lead to a different conclusion?
- Are there any variables missing?
- What additional information would be valuable to help draw a more certain conclusion?
Format your assignment consistent with APA format.

How-would-creating-a-new-coordinating-management-position-between-the-executive-level-managers-CEO-and-CIO-and-the-location-managers-help-the-business-to-grow-management-homework-help
/in Questions Uploads /by adminAfter considering the scenario, completing the assigned readings and practice Learning Activities, paying particular attention to the section on authority, you compose an interoffice memo, at least one full double spaced page in length, from you to the company CEO, who is also your co-executive in the business. The purpose of the memo is to describe the impact of creating a new management position. In typing your memo from you to the CEO, be sure to respond to the following for items:
- How would creating a new coordinating management position between the executive level managers (CEO and CIO) and the location managers help the business to grow?
- Is promoting an existing manager the best option to fill this position? If not, what is an alternative source to fill the position?
- Who within the company should make these decisions?
- List the levels of authority (management) that you would have if the new position is created.
You are Chief Information Officer (CIO) of a business and authoritatively in the role of co-executive level manager with the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The business currently has eight locations. Currently, the company’s vertical organizational structure is comprised of one accountant and eight location managers who report to you and the CEO. Within each location, reporting to each location manager is a Team Supervisor. Reporting to each Team Supervisor are four Customer Associates.
The strategic goal for the business is expansion into a new geographic region and an increase in the number of products or services offered to clients/customers. You and the CEO have discussed two possible avenues to grow and expand this business. One possible strategy would be to franchise locations. Another strategy would be to secure venture capital to finance an internal expansion by opening more company-owned shops. Your business partner feels that s/he just does not have time to further investigate these options because s/he is spending an increasing amount of time assisting the location managers. You have noticed that two of the location managers have exhibited a lot of skill in the management of their locations and perhaps a new position could be added to coordinate with the location managers. This would free both you and the CEO to work on the larger strategic issues.
After reading the scenario above, the assigned readings in the textbook and completing the practice Learning Activities, paying particular attention to the section on authority, compose an interoffice memo from you to the CEO. The purpose of the memo is to describe the impact of creating this new position. In typing your memo to the CEO, be sure to respond to the following:
- How would creating a new coordinating management position between the executive level managers (CEO and CIO) and the location managers help the business to grow?
- Is promoting an existing manager the best option to fill this position? If not, what is an alternative source to fill the position?
- Who within the company should make these decisions?
- List the levels of authority (management) that the company would have if the new position is created.
