In this course, we have introduced and assessed many noteworthy figures related to the colonizing and first 90 years of the United States. For this assignment, you will choose a significant figure who contributed to and influenced others during the time discussed in this course—with the exception of any U.S. President—and prepare a tribute focusing on his or her relevance to today. This is not a biography. Your argument should highlight how society remembers your historical figure now, based on the philosophies and ideals he or she presented or helped to change and evolve. The style of this project is a multimedia presentation with both audio and video components; however, the medium used is up to you. Potential examples include, but are not limited to, a videotaped speech, a self-guided PowerPoint presentation, or a video with audio. Creativity and effort will impact the final grade. Projects are due during Unit VII and will be graded on the following:  Prepare and submit a two-page reflection, ideally based on the outline assignment from Unit VI.  Create and submit a visual presentation with your reflection as an audio transcript.  Use a minimum two sources that can be found in CSU’s Online Library (at least one from the American History & Life database).  Proper citations and references for any use or identification of those sources must be used.  Length must fall within three to five minutes; in the case of PowerPoint, slides and audio should progress and stop automatically like a taped presentation.  Content accuracy and avoidance of anachronism are a must. .

Inferential Analysis Chapter 20 NUR 6812Nursing Research Florida National University Introduction - Inferential Analysis We will discuss analysis of variance and regression, which are technically part of the same family of statistics known as the general linear method but are used to achieve different analytical goals ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used so often that Iversen and Norpoth (1987) said they once had a student who thought this was the name of an Italian statistician. You can think of analysis of variance as a whole family of procedures beginning with the simple and frequently used t-test and becoming quite complicated with the use of multiple dependent variables (MANOVA, to be explained later in this chapter) and covariates. Although the simpler varieties of these statistics can actually be calculated by hand, it is assumed that you will use a statistical software package for your calculations. If you want to see how these calculations are done, you could try to compute a correlation, chi-square, t-test, or ANOVA yourself (see Yuker, 1958; Field, 2009), but in general it is too time consuming and too subject to human error to do these by hand. IMPORTANT TERMINOLOGY Several terms are used in these analyses that you need to be familiar with to understand the analyses themselves and the results. Many will already be familiar to you. Statistical significance: This indicates the probability that the differences found are a result of error, not the treatment. Stated in terms of the P value, the convention is to accept either a 1% (P ≤ 0.01), or 1 out of 100, or 5% (P ≤ 0.05), or 5 out of 100, possibility that any differences seen could have been due to error (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007). Research hypothesis: A research hypothesis is a declarative statement of the expected relationship between the dependent and independent variable(s). Null hypothesis: The null hypothesis, based on the research hypothesis, states that the predicted relationships will not be found or that those found could have occurred by chance, meaning the difference will not be statistically significant. Effect size: This is defined by Cortina and Dunlap as “the amount of variance in one variable accounted for by another in the sample at hand” (2007, p. 231). Effect size estimates are helpful adjuncts to significance testing. An important limitation, however, is that they are heavily influenced by the type of treatment or manipulation that occurred and the measures that are used. Confidence intervals: Although sometimes suggested as an adjunct or replacement for the significance level, confidence intervals are determined in part by the alpha (significance level) (Cortina & Dunlap, 2007). Likened to a margin of error, the confidence intervals indicate the range within which the true difference between means may lie. A narrow confidence interval implies high precision; we can specify believable values within a narrow range ...

At this point it is appropriate to focus on factors external to the organization and to view fi rm performance from an industrial organization perspective. Internal factors are considered later in the process and in future chapters. Each business operates among a group of companies that produces compet- ing products or services known as an industry. The concept of an industry is a simple one, but it is often confused in everyday conversations. The term industry does not refer to a single company or specifi c fi rms in general. For example, in the statement, “A new industry is moving to the community,” the word industry should be replaced by company or fi rm. Although usually differences exist among competitors, each industry has its own set of combat rules governing such issues as product quality, pricing, and distribution. This is especially true for industries that contain a large number of fi rms offering standardized products and services. Most competitors—but not all—follow the rules. For example, most service stations in the United States generally offer regular unleaded, midgrade, and premium unleaded gasoline at prices that do not differ substantially from those at nearby stations. Breaking the so-called rules and charting a different strategic course might be possible, but may not be desirable. As such, it is important for strategic managers to understand the structure of the industry(s) in which their fi rms operate before decid- ing how to compete successfully. Defi ning a fi rm’s industry is not always an easy task. In a perfect world, each fi rm would operate in one clearly defi ned industry; however, ma ...

Individual Focused Learning for Better Memory Retention Through Experience CONFIDENTIAL GCU – For Internal Use Only 1 Literature Review: Background to the Problem 10/9/2019 Cognitive theory focuses on experiences in three looping processes, comprehension, memory, and application According to Goossens (2020), cognitive theories in learning is affected by biology, environment, and social constructs Bottom-up and top-down influences define experience of learning and thus memory and its retention (Tyng et al., 2017) Comprehension is interpretative with different people and methodologies of gaining skills require support for better retention of knowledge (Ford et al., 2020) CONFIDENTIAL GCU – For Internal Use Only Objective: The outline on this slide is used in the Prospectus to develop the Background of the Study in Chapter 1 and the Background of the Problem Space in Chapter 2. Slide Requirements: Use either a bulleted format or table format Describe what is already understood about the problem - Historically, memory retention is dependent on biology, social determinants, and educational roles (Berger et al., 2012) Present findings from prior research related to the history of the problem space – individual are unique by circumstances, cognition development is different for each person hence memory retention and its experiences are unique. In education sector today, curriculum caters to meeting outcomes of the larger group with less focus on individual pace of learning. Focus on: When the problem started – generalization of education and learning environment through general curriculum tends to segregate some learners What has been discovered about the problem - According to Tyng et al. (2017), “the effects of emotion on learning and memory are not always univalent” it points to the fact that progression is a personal journey such that how learning is understood is directly linked to how it is taught, the environment it is taught in, and the emotional attachments of information processing. Therefore, productivity in learning can only be attained by training and task definition which can be versatile form one person to another. The current state of the problem – Development of separate special classes for students with learning challenge is beneficial but with poor education systems, the program could be detrimental for the future especially in self teaching learners. With guidance for retention of knowledge being a taught skill, ineffective environments and lack of support could be detrimental especially to disadvantaged communities Support information with APA compliant in-text citations in your slide, and then make sure to include the full reference for the citation in the List of References slide (last slide of this presentation) 2 Literature Review: Problem Space 10/9/2019 Perception plays a very important role in motivating learners It is build on the foundation of the dynamics of instructor-student relationship hence role ...

Individual Project I-2 1. Title Technology Management Plan 2. Introduction You have been selected to be the acting CIO for a subsidiary of Largo Corporation called Rustic Americana. Its primary products include arts and crafts that reflect the history, geography, folklore and cultural heritage of the United States. It specializes in direct marketing and sales through its call center. Sales are through a web store, a brick and mortar store, and a direct mail catalogue. All services are housed under one roof that include warehousing, order fulfillment, shipping, corporate management and operations, and the call center. The success of the company hinges on its eye-catching direct mail catalogue and the unique product line. Unfortunately, annual sales have declined over the years due largely due to internal issues. The previous CIO was terminated some say due to incompetence primarily related to the underperforming call center. In addition, speculation swirled around the activities of the CIO. He was often absent from the building. He secluded himself behind the closed door of his office. Associated rumors mounted, and it was believed that he was running a consulting business on company time. When the Rustic Americana CEO asked him about this during a formal review, the CIO answered that it was a weekend hobby that kept him abreast of emerging technologies. The CEO asked him if one of their competitors was a client and he vehemently denied the accusation. She was certain that the CIO was not being entirely truthful with her. Call Center Operations Managing a call center demands a wide range of skills including managerial, troubleshooting, patience and being cool under pressure. Knowledge of computer and communications skills is helpful but most call centers have a technical support division. The call center manager is Prisha Khan – she has been in the job for about 2 months. The customer service representative (CSR) in the call center responds to a call for product. On the customer management system (CMS), the CSR collects and directly enters customer information; on a separate inventory management system (IMS), the CSR looks up the product, and verifies if the warehouse has it in stock. If it does, the order is entered on the CMS, and the CSR decreases the inventory on the IMS. On the CMS, the CSR creates an order fulfillment ticket that is automatically shuttled to the warehouse processing clerk who prints it and then generates the shipping label. The shipping label is prepared through a web-based system through either UPS or USPS, which also produces a tracking number used by both the company and the customer. The processing clerk enters the shipping costs and tracking number into the CMS. The customer is billed when the order ships. The warehouse crew uses bar code scanners to track merchandise; once the order is selected, it moves along a conveyor to a shipping clerk who packages the order, affixes the shipping label, sca ...

Individual Case Study – Chipotle BUSI 690 – Policy and Strategy in Global Competition 1 CHIPOTLE Individual Case Study – Chipotle Executive Summary Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. is one of the leading quick-service restaurant chains in the US and operates 2,622 restaurants. The company’s existing strategy and business model indicate that it operates firm-owned restaurants and focuses on delivering high-quality food at low prices everyday to customers. The company has been successful but faces numerous complaints regarding food contamination. This report presents a new mission statement appropriate for its businesses and carries an internal analysis of the company. Based on the internal and financial analysis, two alternative strategies have been proposed, and projections based on the recommended strategy to open up new casual dining restaurants in the US are presented in this report. It is suggested that the new strategy will increase the company’s profitability and generate a positive net present value. Existing Mission, Objectives, and Strategies The company’s existing mission is “food with integrity” [CITATION Chi201 \l 1033 ] which implies that it ensures that its supplies are from sustainable sources without the use of chemicals that could have harmful effects on humans. The primary goal of the company is to “focus on safe and delicious food made with better ingredients” [CITATION Chi202 \l 1033 ]. Its strategy remained to have a small menu that offers limited choices of healthy, nutritious, and good quality food items at competitively low prices. Furthermore, its focus is on expanding the network on its restaurants in the United States until recently, as the company has launched its online and mobile food ordering systems. It relies on providing efficient customer service and carrying out strong advertising and marketing programs to communicate with customers and increase its sales. 2 CHIPOTLE A New Mission Statement The new mission statement of Chipotle is to (1) serve customers (2) healthy and delicious food (3) without boundaries (4) by using sustainable food production technologies (5) and consistently growing its business (6) by expanding its network and following ethical practices (7) and challenging its competitors (8) by giving best quality food and value and services (9) by its highly trained employees. Analysis Of the Firm’s Existing Business Model The existing business model of Chipotle focuses on providing enhanced food experience to its customers. The key to the company’s business model is that it was not based on the standards of Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and offered a new approach to the business that challenged other companies in the market. The company operates a large network of more than two thousand restaurants in the United States and thirty restaurants in internal markets. Its business model is based on a simple menu with a limited number of ...

In-Depth Integrative Case 4.1 How Didi Fought Uber in China and Won; Next, Taking On the World Introduction Technology is constantly evolving, and firms who have leveraged the unprecedented growth rate of modern innovation have seen quick success. Didi Chuxing, China’s largest ridesharing servicer, is no exception. With roots dating back to 2012, Didi has quickly gained Chinese support, and with over 7.4 billion rides completed in 2017, Didi’s emphasis on technology has allowed the young ridesharing firm to gain monopolistic authority within China.1 Rising transportation demand in China has created intense ridesharing competition within China, and Didi’s early expansion efforts were obstructed by competitors, most notably Uber, who entered China in 2014. With locations in over 60 countries, Uber had the experience needed to quickly gain a foothold within China. Hefty subsidies, discounts, and marketing promotions propelled the competitive battle between Uber and Didi, and the immediate influence of Uber’s reputation led to a quick deterioration of Didi’s market dominance. Nonetheless, governmental protectionism, strong Chinese partners, and a unique cultural landscape in China presented Didi with the competitive edge needed to halt Uber’s expansion.2 Fierce opposition weakened revenues, and each firm reported losses exceeding US$1 billion within the first year of competition.3 As a result, in August of 2016, Uber and Didi agreed to US$35 billion alliance in which Didi would acquire Uber China. In return, Uber would receive an initial 5.89 percent stake in the combined company, and with preferred equity interest, Uber’s total position amounted to 17.7 percent.4 This announcement effectively halted Uber’s effort to compete head-on with Didi in China and confirmed Didi’s dominance over the Chinese ridesharing market. The acquisition of Uber China meant only temporary peace to cut throat ridesharing competition, and new wars are beginning to emerge as the two firms each strive to gain global ridesharing dominance. Uber is now faced with a difficult situation as Chinese authority and growing revenue streams inch Didi closer to global superiority. As Didi prepares to expand into international markets, it is only a matter of time before these two players clash once again.5 An Evolving Chinese Ridesharing Market China has quickly become the world’s largest provider of ridesharing services, and in 2017, a total of 20.81 billion rides were offered through these platforms. Today, ridesharing accounts for almost 2 percent of all transportation within China.6 While ridesharing may retain only a modest presence, it is nonetheless the fastest growing method of transportation in the nation as these services have been available for less than a decade. Rapid growth justifies China’s US$30 billion ride hailing market valuation, and continued development has led analysts to believe that this market will double in ...
