Utilizing Multivariate Techniques at Big D Incorporated: Exploring Factor Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling, and Cluster Analysis

Posted on | by Kelvin

 

Using the information from Units 1, 2, and 3, Big D Incorporated will be examining how multivariate techniques can serve the organization best and how they can be applied to its new client, the outdoor sporting goods customer. The Board of Directors has asked you to research and explain 3 major ways in which multivariate statistics are utilized in this scenario. In this case, be sure to justify your decision.

Research using the library and the Internet to find an example of how a real company has used each of the following multivariate techniques:

Factor analysis
Multidimensional scaling
Cluster analysis
This can be considered a benchmark if you can justify how it could benefit Big D Incorporated.
Write a summary to upper management explaining the following:

How can each multivariate technique be utilized in Big D Incorporated, and what purpose would each serve?
Which technique is your preferred method, and how is your chosen multivariate technique different from the other two techniques?
What will the Board of Directors learn from your selected technique and more importantly, how will it contribute to the overall decision-making process? Ensure that your explanation is clear and concise.

 

 

 

Pre-Reflection on Social Issues Campaign

Posted on | by Kelvin

We’ve discussed what service-learning is, you’ve chosen your Social Issues Campaign, and you’ve begun working with your team and planning your campaign. Experience alone is not the key to learning. Learning from experience involves reflection of your thoughts and feelings, and promotes self-awareness. Reflection is the act of processing an experience to gain further insight, which can help better inform future action. Your Pre-Reflection is a critical component of your service-learning experience.
Instructions
For this assignment, you will reflect on your expectations in terms of your involvement with your Social Issues Campaign this semester. Please think critically about these answers, be honest, and be as detailed as possible.
You will respond to 7 open-ended questions. Each question contains 1 or more prompts to help you think through your answers. You will have an unlimited amount of time to complete the assignment, but you may only submit once.
Important: Many questions have multiple prompts – be sure that you’re addressing each prompt fully and with detailed, thoughtful responses. Unless otherwise noted, each question should be a minimum of 150 words.
NOTE: Pre-Reflections will be run through the TurnItIn Plagiarism detector (and may be run through other detection programs) for AI. You may not submit any work generated by an AI program as your own. If you include material generated by an AI program, you must use in-text citations like any other reference material (with due consideration for the quality of the reference, which may be poor), otherwise it will be considered plagiarism and dealt with according to UNT policy. To receive credit, most of the writing must be your own.
**If you copy and paste from a site like Chat GPT or GrammarlyGO, AI detectors will catch it. If you use these sites to “reword” things to make them sound better, AI detectors will catch it.**
Please number your responses (1a, 2a, 2b) and upload a file (.doc, .docx., .pdf) for submission.

Why Taking the Bus is a Smarter Choice for Campus Transportation

Posted on | by Kelvin

Imagine that you work for a university as the head of transportation. You want to encourage people to take the bus, rather than park on campus, because spots are limited.

Prepare agenda slides (no more than seven slides) for students of the university.

Your presentation may include the challenges of parking on campus, the bus schedule, a cost comparison between driving and taking the bus, and any other information you believe may be relevant to persuade each of your audiences.

It is imperative that you strictly adhere to APA (6th or latest edition) formatting and citations.
