Describe the Sun Coast data using the descriptive statistics tools discussed in the unit lesson. Establish whether assumptions are met to use parametric statistical procedures.

Unit 4 Scholarly Activity Research Methods

Descriptive Statistics Analysis

Describe the Sun Coast data using the descriptive statistics tools discussed in the unit lesson. Establish whether assumptions are met to use parametric statistical procedures. Repeat the tasks below for each tab in the Sun Coast research study data set. Utilize the Unit IV Scholarly Activity template .

You will utilize the Microsoft Excel ToolPak. The links to the ToolPak are in the Excel ToolPak Links document .

Here are some of the items you will cover.

Produce a frequency distribution table and histogram.
Generate descriptive statistics table, including measures of central tendency , kurtosis, and skewness.
Describe the dependent variable measurement scale as nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio.

Analyze, evaluate, and discuss the above descriptive statistics in relation to assumptions required for parametric testing. Confirm whether the assumptions are met or are not met.

The title and reference pages do not count toward the page requirement for this assignment. This assignment should be no less than five pages in length, follow APA-style formatting and guidelines, and use references and citations as necessary.

Identify and review three key articles on the topic; what have they demonstrated and what are their strengths and weaknesses?

What are the effects that cause employee turnover?

Identify and review three key articles on the topic; what have they demonstrated and what are their strengths and weaknesses? In this answer you need to:

a) first state the three key articles that are most connected to your topic

b) b) second, then briefly outline how each connects to your topic and why you have selected them as the key articles.

c) c) third, write a critical review of each of the three key articles, first outlining its main points and then assessing its strengths and weaknesses concluding with an overall evaluation of it. Consideration must be given to its research design and data collection methods.

How are you going to judge the way the subject operates? What have you learnt about entrepreneurship and innovation from the module and elsewhere that you can use to make the assessment?

All as per assignment guidelines (file 220111f) and week 9 seminar and lecture files and below under “Paper Details”.

You are required to produce an individual report analysing the performance and manner of operations of an organisation / individual in terms their entrepreneurial and / or innovative capability. You will need to choose an entrepreneur / innovator or an organisation that fits those categories.

How are you going to judge the way the subject operates? What have you learnt about entrepreneurship and innovation from the module and elsewhere that you can use to make the assessment? There are many ways to assess performance read widely and find ones that suit the nature of your chosen individual / organisation.

Are they doing well? Could they do better? How? This is where you make, and justify, recommendations for improvements or changes that the subject could sensibly make.

Demonstrate an understanding of how these theories can explain the way that people behave and interact at work at individual, group and organisational levels.

Organisational behaviour

Practitioners of OBM focus on identifying problematic situations in the workplace, analysing the factors in the environment that could be causing or maintaining the performance problems, then changing behaviours by using ‘re-enforcers’ , with the goal of improving performance at the individual, group, or organisational, systems/process level. A critical success factor, therefore, for an organisation is the contribution made by employees and the factors that can, and often do, influence this contribution.
This assignment has been designed to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your achievement of the following module learning outcomes:
Define theories, models and concepts relating to the study of human behaviour in the workplace.
Demonstrate an understanding of how these theories can explain the way that people behave and interact at work at individual, group and organisational levels.
Demonstrate an understanding of the impact that organisational culture can have on the success of that organisation.

Provide list salary information, if available. Are there additional growth opportunities from this career path, such as upper management? What are they?

For this week’s post, conduct research about different career pathways that a sterile processor with a desire to extend their reach beyond the traditional sterile processing department could pursue. Look for innovative and maybe even unexpected career paths!

Find an article, a website, or job posting about the career pathway(s) that you found and include a link to it.
List career qualifications and define what those mean.
Provide list salary information, if available.
Are there additional growth opportunities from this career path, such as upper management? What are they?
Detail your opinion about this job or pathway and how you feel about what you have learned. Is this a desirable pathway? Was this surprising to find out that this type of job existed?
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

The post and responses are valued at 40 points.  review post and response expectations. Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets criteria.

 

Discuss sustainable construction materials and how they may be used effectively How can personnel behavior be modified to increase productivity?

As part of your work for this course, you will be required to write a 10 page term paper. The write up should be minimum 12pt type, double spaced, although single spaced is acceptable. It should be neat with proper grammar and spelling. Drawings, photos and references should be included in the 10 pages. Drawings and photos should be neat and titled on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.

Some presentation topics could include:

Select a global productivity issue and elaborate
Discuss sustainable construction materials and how they may be used effectively
How can personnel behavior be modified to increase productivity?
Address the issue of cost comparisons before a task is performed, end with why a method was selected and what are the cost advantages for that particular method.
Discuss the gathering of information and what kind of analysis would normally be performed.
What are the best ways for improving the evaluation of data for choosing a proper method or approach?
Expectations

Assess the impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on the enterprise’s tangible and intangible value, determining whether they create or destroy value.

ASSESSING THE RISK OF VALUE DESTRUCTION VERSUS VALUE CREATION POTENTIAL: THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING AS BUSINESS APPLICATIONS

This research examines the current state of artificial intelligence and machine learning adoption and application in business processes. The study will explore and assess the benefits and drawbacks of leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to increase operational efficiency in businesses by identifying risks and potential value destruction. The findings will enable a trade-off analysis of the value creation and destruction caused by AI and machine learning as business tools.

Objectives

1) Determine and isolate value creation and value destruction variables.
2) Using pertinent case studies, ascertain which business processes are impacted by each of these tools in their respective industries.
3) Using applicable case studies, assess the impact of each of these tools on business operations.
4) Assess the impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on the enterprise’s tangible and intangible value, determining whether they create or destroy value.
5) Propose a business model based on the evaluation that maximises operational efficiency through AI and machine learning while minimising value destruction trade-offs via industry-specific theoretical frameworks.
