Prepare an 11- to 15-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for the senior management team based on the business problem or opportunity you described in Weeks 3 and 4.
Include on the slides what you would want the audience to see (include appropriate visual aids/layout). In the Speaker Notes section, include what you would say as you present each slide. If any source material is quoted or paraphrased in the presentation, use APA citations and references.
Draw on material you developed in the Week 3 and 4 assignments.
Include the following in your presentation:
- Introduction slide
- Agenda slide
- Describe the organization, with a brief description
- Explain the business problem or opportunity
- Analyze why the business problem is important
- Identify what variable would be best to measure for this problem and explain why
- Apply data analysis techniques to this problem (tell which techniques should be used: descriptive stats, inferential stats, probability) and explain why
- Apply a possible solution to the problem/opportunity, with rationale
- Evaluate how data could be used to measure the implementation of such a solution
- Conclusion
- References slide (if any source material is quoted or paraphrased throughout the presentation)
Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
Using the data set on the right, determine what city would be the most economical for your needs and develop a monthly budget based on the data provided. Not everybody will need the same items as the next person, so be sure to explain why you include the data you choose.
Describe the problem/opportunity at that company.
Analyze your data. Make sure that you use measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, relevant graphs, frequency tables and any other ways of organizing and evaluating descriptive data. Your work should include at least one calculation of a mean, a median, a mode, a standard deviation, and a graph of your choice, but you may certainly use more.
Please try to use Excel; copy and paste your work from Excel into the paper. Do not turn in two separate documents. The Data Analysis Toolpak (for measures of central tendency and dispersion) and the more recent videos from the last Class Message that help determine frequency, as well as create bar and pie graphs should be helpful. IF YOU NEED MORE HELP WITH EXCEL, LET ME KNOW!!
Develop a 800 analysis to address the items listed above.
Use resources to help support your conceptual explanations. Make sure you reference these properly.
Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines
This is an individual assignment. Each of you will do this on your own. The majority of the content should reflect original critical thinking. When you are asked for information that might be available in your textbook, do not copy it, even with a reference. You need to paraphrase whatever information you share.
