Beginning in Chapter 7 of the text, we begin surveying the use of Information Systems technology and ERP systems to improve business processes in Sales, Procurement and other functional and cross-functional areas.  The project assignment in ISYS 250 is to use this knowledge to assemble a white-paper for a fictional process in a fictional company of your choosing.  You will take on the role of a “technology champion” for implementing a new information system supported process change and imagine that you have been asked to outline the change and assemble materials from ERP vendors, Business Intelligence vendors, Security vendors or any other technology change that would improve a business process.  This is NOT a research paper – it is an internal company “white paper” where you can use supporting material from relevant web and library research sources.  Assemble and summarize for people who don’t understand the technology. 

Think about a narrow topic or application by selecting a specific real or fictional company and a specific business process within that company or even a specific aspect of the information system or ERP solution.   Your technology will eventually need to have at least three alternative or process vendors to choose from.  Small or medium sized applications are preferred to larger ones.

Your white paper (2000 – 2400 words) should include:

1. Cover Page

2. An introduction with a summary of the technology.

3. A BPMN diagram modeling some aspect of the as-is process and supporting text describing the process.

4. Explanation of how the technology meets one of the strategic objectives of your company and how it will improve the business process.  Use pictures, tables or smart-art to enhance your paper.

5. Brief descriptions of the offerings of each of your three vendors or alternatives summarizing their features and advantages. Feel free to include links and a screen shot of your vendor’s site, pictures and graphics to support your vendor information.   

6. Brief comparison of the vendor choices and recommendations of a vendor. Justification of the reasons you chose that option over the others.

7. Close with a summary including the next steps and a recommended timeline for research, acquisition and implementation.   

8. Use and include references as needed.

Did you know over 50 % of small business fail within the first year and over 95% in five years? With that in mind, you have just been promoted to a new role as an “Entrepreneur Business Coach” and I am your first client. I am looking to start a small firm that will make an innovative new product called The Widget but don’t know a think about running my own business.

Here is some background on where I am today. I have been working off and on with The Widget for the past year, but I want to get serious about it now however I only have a few thousand dollars to invest. I currently am the only one working on the business and I run it out of my basement in the evenings and on weekends when I am not working at my full time job. I would love to work full time in my business, but in order to do this the business must be at a level that it could at least replace the income I earn at my full time job.

As you can see, I am at the very beginning of this process and need your guidance. Please provide this to me the following in an original response that is at least four paragraphs in length and addresses:

 

  • What questions I need to provide answers to when starting a new business and why?

  • What a business plan is, and what are the critical elements that it needs to address (with a focus on creating one based on my current circumstances).

  • What is the best business structure for me now and why?

  • Any other good advice you can provide so as to maximize the chance that I will still be in business a year from now.

 

  • Be sure to support your writing with references to your textbook, class readings, or at least one outside source in APA format (in-text citation and an accompanying reference list at the end of your post).

Case Study 1: Examining Emotions, Attitudes, and Job Satisfaction

Due Week 3 and worth 100 points

Emotional Intelligence (EI) focuses on understanding the emotions and attitudes of others. To manage relationships effectively, we need to not only understand ourselves, but also increase what we know about others. EI emphasizes four key competencies for leadership success:

·         Self-awareness–the ability to understand our own emotions and how they impact others

·         Social awareness–the ability to understand the emotions of others

·         Self-management–the ability to think before acting

·         Relationship management–the ability to build rapport with others

Grasping the realities of organizational behavior begins with an understanding of personality and behavioral tendencies. Case Study 1 is designed to address issues pertaining to the emotions, attitudes, and job satisfaction of others. Read the “Trader Joe’s” case study on page W-99 in the back of your textbook to examine how emotions, attitudes, and job satisfaction influence decision-making.

Write a FOUR  page paper in which you:

1.      Examine the approach Trader Joe’s uses to promote a positive work environment for its employees. Determine at least three (3) ways in which Trader Joe’s is able to increase job satisfaction and performance.

2.      Determine how Trader Joe’s uses the management process (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling) to develop its employees.

3.      Suggest two (2) ways that leaders can effectively manage relationships in general by using the four (4) EI competencies.

4.      Recommend at least three (3) leadership practices that Trader Joe’s could implement in order to increase the competitive edge of the organization. Provide a rationale for your response.

5.      Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

·         Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

·         Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

·         Analyze the relationship between the basic organizational behavior models of individual, group, and organizational processes and the productivity of an organization.

·         Explore how individual differences, personality traits, and perspectives impact the productivity of an organization.

·         Use technology and information resources to research issues in organizational behavior.

 

·         Write clearly and concisely about organizational behavior using proper writing mechanics.

Linear Regression

/in /by

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Linear Regression

In this assignment, you will use a spreadsheet to examine pairs of variables, using the method of linear regression, to determine if there is any correlation between the variables. Afterwards, you will postulate whether this correlation reveals a causal relationship (and why).

Click here to open the Excel spreadsheet containing the data for this assignment. 

This spreadsheet contains the data from a study that attempted to see if there is a correlation between the hours that students studied and the grade that they earned on a test. The correlation test you are about to run will help you to determine if there is, in fact, a correlation between study time and test score. If you find a strong correlation, then you will postulate whether you feel this indicates a causal relationship.

Below are instructions on how to perform this correlation test in Microsoft Excel. 

In the Excel spreadsheet, perform the following operations:

  1. Save the spreadsheet to your computer. 
  2. With your mouse, highlight all of the data on the spreadsheet in columns A and B.
  3. In the tabs at the top of the page, click Insert.
  4. In the Insert ribbon, in the Charts section, click Scatter. Be sure to select the option where it will just plot dots, it will be called Scatter with only Markers. If you do this right, then you’ll see a chart on the page.
  5. Now, on the chart, right-click on one of the data points (dots). Just pick a dot somewhere near the middle of the distribution.
  6. Select Add Trendline from the drop-down menu that appears when you right-click on a dot.
  7. A new menu will appear. Select Linear, select Automatic, and click the boxes next to Display Equation on chart and Display r-squared value on chart.
  8. Click Close.
  9. Now, you should see a line drawn through the dots. It will roughly cut through the middle of the dot distribution.
  10. You’ll also see the linear regression equation and r2 value displayed next to the line. 

To see an example spreadsheet containing a completed analysis click here.

Now that you’ve completed your analysis and determined the linear regression formula and r2, it is now time to report on the results of your study and examine your findings.

In a Microsoft Word document, respond to the following:

  1. Report the sample you selected and the question that was explored in the study.
  1. Report the r2 linear correlation coefficient and the linear regression equation produced in the Excel spreadsheet.
  1. What would be the value of Pearson’s r (simply the square root of r2)?
  1. Would Pearson’s r be positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship between the factors in this study?
  1. What is the implication of any correlation found between the variables in the study you picked?
  1. Does this correlation imply a causal relationship? Explain.
  1. Are there other variables that you think should have been examined that would have improved this study or helped to pinpoint what factors are causal?

For this assignment, you will submit a spreadsheet and a report. The spreadsheet will be the Microsoft Excel file containing your scatterplot and analysis.
