A multinational organisation is about to embark on a project to implement a data warehousing solution alongside the formation of a business analytics department at its corporate headquarters.
In your role as a Business Data & Analytics Consultant you have been employed by the organisation to advise them on the processes and potential for the planned implementation.
You will prepare a maximum 4,000 word report for the organisation on the following areas:
1. Outline what data & information will be available to the organisation. This will need to include a summary of the organisation in geographical, operational and product/service terms.
2. Summarise from the literature what is meant by ‘data warehousing’ and how it can be used in conjunction with the data & information identified in section 1 above.
3. Provide an overview of the issues and processes involved in the implementation and adoption of the data warehouse.
4. Illustrate how three separate advanced business analytics techniques (for example; optimisation, probability distributions, regression etc) can be employed by the business analytics department, to inform organisational decision making, once the data warehouse is fully operational. Students can use actual data if available or simulated data to illustrate the separate techniques.
Further details:
It is expected that the report will contain charts, graphs, tables etc. as appropriate.
Assessment II – Key Points

1. Choose an organisation that makes the task easy / interesting / perhaps relevant to other studies and / or future career path.
– Who the organization is
– Where are they based
– Headquarters and regional pops
– How many shops
– How they distribute to customers
– What are their operations and their touch points

2. Don’t get too technical. This is not a computer science degree. No need to go into detail about architecture etc. (Kimball’s work goes too deep) other than the structure of a data warehouse.

3. Implementation is from an organisational behaviour perspective (e.g. Wixom & Watson 2001) rather than a technical perspective. How to implement data warehousing to support strategic and tactical decision making

4. 4,000 words is an absolute max. It may be far more than you need. Charts and diagrams are good!

5. The analytics methods to use on actual or, more likely, simulated data are three from data modelling, optimisation, probability distributions, data mining, regression and forecasting. correlation, weighted moving average, exponential smooth, visualizing data, SPSS.

6. Google Scholar is very useful for finding key academic papers, citation trails etc. Number of citations indicates the importance of the research. We expect you to draw upon academic research (journals etc.) to inform parts 2 and 3. Again, don’t go too deep and don’t go off on tangents etc. A paper’s abstract is a good indicator of whether it will be useful or not. Some journal articles may have free pdf / html links; others will need to be sourced through.

Visit the Bloomberg economic calendar (https://www.bloomberg.com/markets/economic-calendar/ )and look at the week just ended. This will bring up a whole slew of different economic activities for the whole week (through Friday) and choose one or two economic activities, and comment as to what was expected and what actually resulted.

Find out what is going on and how it relates to the economy, and “support” your opinion with economic related research. You should be able to do this by doing a simple Bing or Google Scholar search.

Make sure that you address:
1.What was expected vs. What happened?

2.How do the event/results impact the current economy and the job market? You may need to look at historic data, comparing the indicator to recent months or the same month in recent years, for example, and/or you may need to look at other economic indicators and figure out how the data your looking at fits into the bigger economic
picture. This is the heart of your economic analysis.
3.How do the event/results impact the housing market? Will the impact be uniform nationally, or which regions might be impacted more heavily and why? Again, some analysis required, but often clear based on overall economic impact in Step 2 above.

4.Have at least one “source” that agrees with your opinion and one that disagrees – the pro/contra of the activity/issue that you are presenting, and present both sides in your discussion. Before presenting the pro/contra however, be sure that you have clearly stated your position first in your own words.

Your post should be at least 300 to 500 words.

During the Early Intermediate Period the Central Andes was occupied by a variety of distinct cultures that had developmental roots in the Chavin culture of the Early Horizon. Describe, compare and contrast the Moche and the Nasca, considering briefly their respective Chavin heritages, but focusing primarily on issues of their chronology, spatial distribution, economy, and cultural achievements such as political organization, architecture, religion, mortuary practices, settlements, art, etc. Also during the Early Intermediate Period a distinct cultural development was taking place in the south and south-central highlands that led to the Tiwanaku and Wari cultures, to impressive highland cultural accomplishments, including the rise of what archaeologists call the Middle Horizon. What and where are the roots of this cultural tradition? What is significant about its political organization, chronology, spatial distribution, economy, architecture, religion, mortuary practices, settlements, art, and other features? How did the Middle Horizon differ from the Early Intermediate Period? How did Tiwanaku (and Tiahuanaco) as well as Wari (and Huari) change internally during their history as prominent cultures and influential centers? How have their eventual collapse been explained by archaeologists? What expansive states followed Wari in Peru?

Your essay should be about 9 pages long, double-spaced, in 12 point font. The introduction should outline what you will be discussing in the body of your paper. All detail and examples supporting your points should be included in the body of the paper. A good conclusion will restate the basic points you have made in the essay.

Maintaining Long-Term Professional Relationships
One of the most important aspects of negotiating with someone or a business that you have a long-term and on-going relationship with is maintaining that relationship post-negotiation. Consider the following negotiation:
You are the project manager for a manufacturing company. You have a long-term relationship with a supplier that provides your company with computer chips for your product. There have never been any previous issues, and you and the supplier have had a great relationship. However, with the last shipment, there were defects in 25% of the chips. You need to discuss this issue with the supplier and determine the best solution. Your main concern is not ruining the relationship, but the defects are costly for your organization.
Based on this scenario, brainstorm your answers for the following areas:
Goals
Trades
Alternatives
Relationship
Expected outcome
Consequences of winning or losing
Power
Possible solutions
After completing the eight areas, prepare a letter to the supplier’s president. Consider the elements above in the letter. Your letter should contain the following:
Current issue
Your suggestion for solving this issue
The outcome you would like to see
Time frame
Suggest your alternatives and solutions
Your answers to the eight elements can be written in a numbered list; however, your letter should be written in complete sentences and appropriate business letter format. The letter should be 1-2 pages in length and should be structured formally following the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements.

Assignment topic
The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate your ability to develop a comprehensive implementation proposal for an information system that uses a systems approach in virtual teams. The proposal should be targeted at a potential ‘sponsor’ organisation that will need to be convinced of the appropriateness and effectiveness of the proposed new system.Choose an information system based on ERP systems, CRM systems, SCM Systems, that you have studied in this unit. Your assignment should describe the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) discussed in Topic 4 of the subject. The proposed system must address an identifiable problem/opportunity that exists in the sponsor organisation and relate to particular aspects of the organisation’s overall strategic directions. Dont select any big organisation because they already have these information systems. It is important that you select the features of system carefully and justify your selection. Do not just use (be critical of the use of) the standard features of a commercially available software package. For the purposes of this assignment, try to keep the system that you are proposing to a manageable size. So whichever system is selected , please include the Challenges/Issues and Success Factors of that Systems as well. In SDLC phases, in planning you should consider tasks and their duration, therefore gantt chart would be helpful. Do not go to details to check all dates and duration so just placing a screen shot in the proposal would improve the quality of it.
Your proposed system could help the ‘sponsor’ by:
improving an existing manual information system
introducing a new information system
creating a new business opportunity
improving organisational productivity.
The sponsor could be:
top management of your company
an investor
a financial institution which will lend you money
a client who has engaged you as a consultant.
