Lesson 3
Section 3: Once again there are questions listed for each of the chapters in this section.
Respond to them fully after stating the questions.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 1
The five steps for classical decision making are found on page 169, and the definition is on
page 171. In a risk environment or an uncertain environment, it may be very difficult to follow
these steps. How can a risk environment or an uncertain environment affect this process?
What is the difference between a risk environment and an uncertain environment?
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 2
In the text, there is a discussion of framing errors, confirmation errors, escalating
commitment, availability bias, representativeness bias, anchoring bias, and adjustment bias.
Briefly define each of these errors and biases and provide an example of each one (not the one
in the text). These are particularly important since they are found in all levels of an
organization.
Section 3: Chapter 7: Question 3
Managers are often confronted with structured problems which require programmed
decisions, and unstructured problems which require non-programmed decisions. Serious
problems may require a crisis decision which is the most serious type of non-programmed
decision.
Provide an example of a programmed and non-programmed decision which you have
encountered in your own experience. How do you determine whether a decision is really a
programmed decision, or whether it actually requires a unique solution? When should senior
management become involved?
(Many programmed decisions are just that today. In retail they may be built into the computer
system, and made at the cash register – such as returns, returns with or without receipts, or
information available regarding a customer’s past transactions!)
Section 3: Chapter 8: Question 1
Organizations should have a mission statement, a strategic plan, organizational plans,
tactical plans, goals and objectives. Which of these should primarily be developed by directors
and senior management, middle management, and supervisors and other first level
management personnel? How can these plans be best aligned in order to clearly involve all
levels of management in these goals?

ECO 500 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an economic analysis recommendation paper.
This course is an integral part of your journey toward a better understanding of the economy and of how the business you work for fits into it. The manager who
excels at his or her job is able to make the connection between general theory and specific application. Your final project provides you with the opportunity to
practice and develop these skills. In this course, you will learn about economic principles—supply and demand, production and costs, market structures—and see
how they apply to real-world situations. You will also learn about economic forecasting and tools used in strategic decision making. Being able to see the big
picture and having the skills of economic analysis will help you become more effective as a manager. Although there are several general principles that hold in
most organizations, such as trade-offs in the use of resources and customer budget constraints, the circumstances in which these principles apply are unique.
In this project, you will take on the role of an economic analyst at a company. An executive at the company has asked you to research an issue that affects your
organization and recommend a solution. Choose from one of the case studies listed below and research a given issue that affects the organization, determine the
issue’s relationship to economics, and report on your analysis and recommendation. This assessment requires you to understand the big-picture context of a
question, narrow down to a specific statement or set of statements to research, and present your findings.
You may encounter additional companies\case studies within your ECO 500 Case Study CoursePack. However, please disregard them and ONLY focus on the
following:
- American Airlines
- Microsoft Corporation
- Heinz Corporation
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.

QSO 510 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a statistical analysis report.
Each day, operations management professionals are faced with multiple decisions affecting various aspects of the operation. The ability to use data to drive
decisions is an essential skill that is useful in any facet of an operation. The dynamic environment offers daily challenges that require the talents of the operations
manager; working in this field is exciting and rewarding.
Throughout the course, you will be engaged in activities that charge you with making decisions regarding inventory management, production capacity, product
profitability, equipment effectiveness, and supply chain management. These are just a few of the challenges encountered in the field of operations management.
The final activity in this course will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply statistical tools and methods to solve a problem in a
given scenario that is often encountered by an operations manager. Once you have outlined your analysis strategy and analyzed your data, you will then report
your data, strategy, and overall decision that addresses the given problem.

Introduction
The CARE International is known to be a humanitarian organization which offers relief help to regions that are experiencing natural disasters like hurricanes and earthquakes. This paper will focus on answering the case study questions on diverse issues.
1. What were the main challenges encountered by CARE International before they created their warehouse prepositioning model
The challenges faced by CARE international are such as transportation issues, absence of agility, limited aptitude to gather supplies both locally and internationally (Gay, 2015). There is a challenge of the previous means of transportation utilized by vendors which is slow and also very unreliable as well as the cost of relief resources is very high.
2. How does the objective function relate to the organization's need to improve relief services to affected areas?
The objective function need to minimize the time used to respond to natural occurrences as well as transport reliefs to the affected area. The objective function is connected to the need of agency providing shipping relief services to the affected region at minimal response time.
3. Conduct online research and suggest at least three other applications or types of software that could handle the magnitude of variable and constraints CARE International used in their MIP model.
There are three software that can be incorporated to handle constraints Care International utilizes for Mixed-integer programming ideal which are “Mathematical Programming Language (AMPL), Gurobi, and Statistical Analysis System (SAS) (De & Mok, 2016).” These are tools that assist the organization in solving the linear and the quadratic optimization.
4. Elaborate on some benefits CARE International stands to gain from implementing their pre-positioning model on a large scale in future
Warehouse pre-positioning model has some advantages that it offers to CARE International such as they facilitate the delivery relief to the affected region, mostly in the time of the disaster occurrence. This model assist in providing relief in the affected region in relatively short period of time which means that the agency will be in a position to save more lives.

Amazon.com is a Fortune 500 e-commerce company situated in Seattle, WA. Amazon was one of the principal organizations to offer merchandise over the Internet for the first time in history. The organization was established by Jeff Bezos in 1994, and propelled in 1995. They began as an online book shop and afterward immediately expanded by including different things, for example, VHS tapes and DVDs, music CDs, programming, computer games, gadgets, MP3s, garments, furniture, toys and many other items.
I have worked for Amazon.com for last 8½ years. So I was able to consult my company information and utilize the internet for any additional information needed. I started as a temporary associate and worked my way up to a Program Manager. I have been privileged to work at three different facilities in three different states.
Customer Intimacy model is met by the company as it have full range of services available to serve the customers on order and it may assist customer to pick a wide range of services available from other suppliers at very short notice through contract arrangements like it sells Apple products in stores.

· Daily backups are maintained in case of disaster recovery
· NFS utilized in system for mounted file and servers to support the data and application libraries It establish a strong link to Microsoft SQL Server databases and a financial data warehouse
According to table the triggers were:
· Lack of clear goals in process change
· Unclear objectives for change
· Too many complex things involved in ordering
Amazon will benefit from this BPM
· It consists of all essential phases required for business growth
· All phases are clear enough to understood by every concerned person
· Due to implementation of this BPM sales revenue will be boost up
The process used for order placement and delivery is aligned with the strategy .
Part OneFirst, use the provided MS Excel Spreadshe.docxLacieKlineeb
Part One
First, use the provided
MS Excel Spreadsheet to gather the requested information about the publicly-traded company TESLA.
At the bottom of the spreadsheet, use the tabs (e.g., Week 1, 2, etc.) to enter the information for each Analysis Memo assignment.
You only need to answer Week 1 this week, but you should use the same spreadsheet as the weeks progress. For now, conduct your research and enter your data for
Week 1. This will help inform your response to Part Two.
Part Two
In a memo to the Chief Executive Officer (i.e., your instructor), assume you are a financial analyst assigned to review the publicly-traded company you picked in Discussion 1. You must use the
Memo Template provided.
For this week, you will answer the following questions (located in your template):
1. Consistent with the two areas of risk you uncovered from the 10K Report for your company and in your spreadsheet, please expand on these two areas and whether they impact maximizing shareholder wealth and responsible investing. Are these risk areas impacting the top or bottom line?
2. Corporate governance is the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled. Corporate governance refers to how companies are governed and to what purpose. Drawing from the course material and your 10K Report, are there any corporate governance issues with your chosen company? Explain.
Before completing this assignment, make sure to read Chapter 4 in the textbook, paying attention to the sections about municipal and rural water supplies.
The water distribution system is a critical component of any firefighting operation. The distribution system is equally important in a municipal or rural setting. Having a reliable water supply will dictate a fire department’s ability to extinguish most fires. While having portable water on an apparatus provides a head start on an extinguishment effort, most fires require more water than is carried on an apparatus.
Using knowledge that you have gained from this unit, go out into the community where you work or live to investigate a water distribution system. You will use details from your investigation to compose an assignment about the water system you found.
Be sure to address the following topics:
· Is the water distribution system a municipal or rural system?
· Describe the components of the system that you found, including unseen critical components and potential deficiencies.
· Report on any deficiencies of the system that you found.
· Draw conclusions on how the system could be improved.
· Discuss how the forces of water affect the water distribution system.
You may include pictures of the water distribution systems components that you think will help enhance the explanation of the system’s components. An example of this would be an elevated water tank or dry hydrant.
Your assignment must be at least two pages in length. .

Stage 1:
Strategic Use of Technology
Before you begin work on this assignment, be sure you have read the Case Study on Chesapeake IT Consultants (CIC). CIC is a fictional company created for IFSM 300’s Case Study.
Overview
As a business analyst in the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO's) department of Chesapeake IT Consulting (CIC), you have been assigned to conduct an analysis, develop a set of system requirements and recommend an IT solution (applicant tracking or hiring system) to improve the hiring process for CIC. This work will be completed in four stages, and each of these four stages will focus on one section of an overall
Business Analysis and System Recommendation
(BA&SR) report to be delivered to the CIO.
Section I: Strategic Use of Technology
(Stage 1) - The first step is to look at the organization and explain how an IT system could be used to support CIC's strategies and objectives and support its decision-making processes.
Section II: Process Analysis
(Stage 2) – Next you will evaluate current processes and workflow and explain how CIC can use IT to improve its processes and workflow.
Section III: Requirements
(Stage 3) –Then you will identify key stakeholder expectations for the new technology solution to support CIC’s hiring process and develop a set of requirements.
Section IV: System Recommendation
(Stage 4) – Finally, you will review the provided Vendor brochure for a proposed applicant tracking system and explain how it meets the requirements and what needs to be done to implement the system within CIC.
The sections of the BA&SR will be developed and submitted as four staged assignments. In stages 2, 3 and 4, you will also incorporate any feedback received when the previous stage was graded to improve the effectiveness of your overall report and then add the new section to your report. At the end of the course, you will submit a complete BA&SR document that includes all the sections and changes that resulted from previous feedback. Part of the grading criteria for Stage 4 submission includes addressing previous feedback to improve the final report.
Assignment – BA&SR:

ECO 201 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. Every day, millions of economic choices are made by people—from what brand of soap to buy
to how many employees to hire for a factory. Microeconomics provides us with the tools, models, and concepts to better understand individual choices in the
marketplace and how resource allocation is determined at the micro level. The decisions made by individuals and households impact the market and influence
decisions made by firms. Firms use these tools as a way to determine pricing, output, and profit maximization. As a student of economics, you can use the
microeconomic principles to gain an understanding of how firms and individuals make decisions and also to make your own conclusions about actions we can
take to improve those decisions.
Now, imagine that you are a consultant to the firm of your choice. The firm has hired you to advise it on how it can ensure its future success as a company in its
current market. To do this, you will write a 7–9-page research paper analyzing market and business data to explain how the core microeconomic principles
impact the sustainability of the firm and what actions it can take to ensure success.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final submission will occur in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
ECO-201-01: Apply microeconomic models to real-world situations for informing effective business decisions
ECO-201-02: Analyze business and market data using microeconomic tools for their impact on business sustainability
ECO-201-03: Evaluate the structure of various markets for informing effective decision-making strategies
ECO-201-04: Assess the behavior and decisions of individuals and firms for their relation to the microeconomic framework
Prompt
You will work with your instructor to choose a firm for which you can find reliable data and information, both at the firm level and the industry level. The firm you
select must be a publicly traded company, must operate in the U.S. market, and must currently be in business. You will need instructor approval before continuing
on with your research paper in order to ensure you have met the necessary requirements. Publicly traded companies file reports with a great deal of data that
you will find useful for your analysis. Once you have selected a firm for your case study, you will gather information and data relevant to the firm and its industry

Before you begin work on this assignment, be sure you have read the Case Study on Chesapeake IT Consultants (CIC). CIC is a fictional company created for IFSM 300’s Case Study.
Overview
As a business analyst in the Chief Information Officer’s (CIO's) department of Chesapeake IT Consulting (CIC), you have been assigned to conduct an analysis, develop a set of system requirements and recommend an IT solution (applicant tracking or hiring system) to improve the hiring process for CIC. This work will be completed in four stages, and each of these four stages will focus on one section of an overall
Business Analysis and System Recommendation
(BA&SR) report to be delivered to the CIO.
Section I: Strategic Use of Technology
(Stage 1) - The first step is to look at the organization and explain how an IT system could be used to support CIC's strategies and objectives and support its decision-making processes.
Section II: Process Analysis
(Stage 2) – Next you will evaluate current processes and workflow and explain how CIC can use IT to improve its processes and workflow.
Section III: Requirements
(Stage 3) –Then you will identify key stakeholder expectations for the new technology solution to support CIC’s hiring process and develop a set of requirements.
Section IV: System Recommendation
(Stage 4) – Finally, you will review the provided Vendor brochure for a proposed applicant tracking system and explain how it meets the requirements and what needs to be done to implement the system within CIC.
The sections of the BA&SR will be developed and submitted as four staged assignments. In stages 2, 3 and 4, you will also incorporate any feedback received when the previous stage was graded to improve the effectiveness of your overall report and then add the new section to your report. At the end of the course, you will submit a complete BA&SR document that includes all the sections and changes that resulted from previous feedback. Part of the grading criteria for Stage 4 submission includes addressing previous feedback to improve the final report.
Assignment – BA&SR:

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
