The proposal should consist of three (3) sections:

1. A description of the research problem or subject;
2. A review of existing literature on the subject; and
3. A methodology section explaining how the data would be gathered for the study and the statistical methods used to analyze the data explaining the reasons for the choice of each.

For this assignment, address the following sections in 10–12 pages:

• Then, write the draft of the introduction to the topic and related issues (variables) that impact this issue.
• Follow the introduction with a summary statement of the purpose for your research.

Part 2

• Then, develop a literature review (annotated bibliography) with a minimum of 10 references that will begin the research for your research project.

Part 3

• How do you intend to gather the data for your study? Explain.
• What are 3–4 types of statistical methods can be used to analyze the data? Explain in detail
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type of statistical data analysis method? Explain.

The new chief executive officer (CEO) of your company is a strong believer in the four functions of management theory. In preparation for a management meeting, he has asked you to write a report that he can use to explain the theory to his management team. In the report, he would like to see some specific examples of firms that practiced these four functions. For a company with which you are familiar, use each of the four functions to do the following:

• Assess how the overall management team performed in terms of the four functions of management, which are as follows:
  • Planning
  • Organizing
  • Leading
  • Controlling
• Identify and explain the strong points of the managers.
• Identify and explain areas in which improvement is needed.

If you do not have any firsthand experiences, ask friends or colleagues for anecdotes or search the Web for specific, real-life examples.

Specifically regarding the controlling function of management, answer the following questions:

• How did most employees feel about the monitoring of activities that managers put in place to monitor employee performance and overall company performance?
• How well was the need for control and monitoring explained to everyone before the controls were put in place?
• Did the controls have a meaningful impact on the overall department or company performance? Cite some specific examples.

Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft^® PowerPoint^® presentation discussing your statistics project data analyses, based on the analyses you’ve done on your assigned data set from Week Two.

Include the following in your presentation:

• An introduction that includes the data and variables; this information is provided on the information tab of the Microsoft^® Excel^® data set.
• A description and results of each analysis
• The descriptive statistics
• The t-test or ANOVA
• The bivariate correlations
• A conceptual summary of the results, stating what they tell you about the data

Format your presentation consistent with APA guidelines.

You have just been promoted from front-line supervisor to be one of the firm’s senior managers. During your business education, you learned that the primary role of a manager is to make good decisions. As a supervisor, you had frequently been making routine decisions, but you realize that decision making for the overall company can and will have far greater impact on the company and its employees.

Your boss, the chief executive officer (CEO), realizes that you do not have much practice in this higher level, decision-making process and has asked you to write a memo describing your understanding of how to make important decisions.

Your memo should address the following questions:

• Describe at least 3 criteria that would determine whether the manager is making good decisions. What should be done to better assure that you are making a good decision?
• In the realm of decision making, what are assumptions? Rather than use a dictionary definition, cite several specific assumptions that would go with any real-life decision you have made or have seen made at a company at which you have worked.
• Given the importance of proper assumptions, your boss asked you to assess the accuracy of certain business assumptions and what could you do to test or confirm the credibility of them. The following were major assumptions for each firm:
  • An automobile manufacturer’s assumption that the demand for SUVs would continue because gas prices would continue to rise
  • An airline’s assumption that there was a need for an airline that provided no added amenities

Write a personal narrative essay on how u became who u are this day.

The american dream , is it still valid?

This will be a five-seven page paper based on the theme: “Living in The Modern Technological World” Each of the books (O Pioneers novel, Brave New World novel, Never Let Me Go novel) that we read this session contains the underlying theme of the human – nature – technology triad. Since the Scientific Revolution, humanity has focused on gaining control over the natural world and over time humankind has moved increasingly closer toward complete control through technological endeavors. There are many overriding questions that emerge from this three-way relationship between humans, nature and technology. One is a question of whether we control technology or whether technology controls us. Another question has to do with what happens to human relationships as technology becomes a mitigating factor in our contact with other people. Still another question has to do with what happens to the human spirit as technology proliferates and science removes the mystery from human experience. You may interpret the broad theme of “Living in a Modern Technological World” in any manner you wish. The only requirement for honing in on your subject matter is that you use ideas from the novels and/or what you have learned in this session as a jumping off point for your exposition. The five-seven pages do not include the Works Cited page. Even though this is a research paper, your ideas should be the basis of the paper. This is your chance to show me all that you have learned during this class, including how to proofread your own work, organize ideas, develop ideas and support your thesis with evidence, write grammatically correct sentences, and much more. REQUIREMENTS: 1. Five- to seven-page paper (not including the Works Cited page) 2. Double space your work and use twelve-point font. 3. Have a clear, explicit thesis statement in your introduction. 4. Include a title page formatted according to MLA specifications. 5. Use five or more sources within the paper. These sources should be a variety of books, print articles, films, lectures, database articles, surveys, etc. You may draw from the material we have examined this semester. 6. Proper use of the MLA Style of Documentation (parenthetical citations and a Works Cited page.) 7. Fluid integration of quotes, summaries and paraphrases into your paper. 8. Include your last name and page number at the top right corner of each page of your paper except for the title page. To include a heading on each page, go to View on your menu bar, Header and Footer. Then you can add a header with your last name and page number, and right align it.

Our memories are often not as accurate as we assume. Think back to an early memory of an event (such as a childhood vacation) that you shared with friends or family. Write down as many details of the memory as you can. Now ask friends or family members who were there about their memories of the event.. Write an essay describing your memory of the event. How do the memories of your friends and family differ? Explain the reasons for any differences between your memories using information-processing theory. Ideas – 0-20 points Response clearly describes the following: • a narrative of a remembered event • a description of differences in the memories of others who were present during the event Response thoroughly and accurately describes the reasons that these memories may be different using information-processing theory. Responses may vary but should include most of the following: • encoding, storage, retrieval, sensory memory, working memory, short-term memory, long-term memory, attention, forgetting Organization – 0-20 points • Organization is effective and demonstrates a logical flow of ideas within the response. • Transitions effectively connect concepts. • May contain an effective introduction and/or conclusion. Conventions – 0-20 points • Demonstrates sophistication and skill with a wide variety of conventions. • May contain minor editing errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, or sentence construction. Errors do not interfere with the reader’s understanding.
