please see the attached word file for the rubric, and excel file for data you need to use. the assignment has to be done by excel.

• Develop a multiple linear regression model to predict Wal-Mart revenue, using CPI, Personal Consumption, and Retail Sales Index as the independent variables.
• Check the residuals box under residuals and Excel will generate predicted values and residuals at the bottom of the output for the multiple regression model.Then, use these two output values to create the residual plot by Excel’s scatter chart (Insert tab > Charts > Scatter chart).Comment on what you see on the plot.
• Does it seem that Wal-Mart’s revenue is closely related to the general state of the economy?Explain it.
• Identify and remove the five cases corresponding to
  December revenue.

  (a) Develop
  a multiple linear regression model to predict Wal-Mart revenue, using CPI,
  Personal Consumption, and Retail Sales Index as the independent variables.

  (b) Check
  the residuals box under residuals and Excel will generate predicted values and
  residuals at the bottom of the output for the multiple regression model. Then, use these two output values to create
  the residual plot by Excel’s scatter chart (Insert tab > Charts > Scatter
  chart). Comment on what you see on the
  plot.

  (c) Does
  it seem that Wal-Mart’s revenue is closely related to the general state of the
  economy?

  (d) Compare
  the results of parts (a) and (d), which of these two models is better? Use R-square values, adjusted R-square
  values, Significance F values, p-values, scatter plot, residual plot and normal
  probability plot to explain your answer.

  (e) Compare
  the results of parts (a) and (d), what can you conclude about the impact of December
  data to Wal-Mart Revenue?

Learning Transfer – Why?

After reading and watching this week’s assigned reading analyze the importance of the learning transfer process. The week discussed the learning transfer on a spectrum from an educational to a monetary point of view including learning scrap and measurement of performance ROI. In your paper, write a compelling summary to a CEO analyzing why the transfer of learning process is important using it in each area discussed this week.

We have established that organizations invest in learning to address business needs and opportunities. Learning objectives are, in effect, business objectives. In solid organizations usually there are systems in place to set, measure, monitor, and reward achievement of business objectives. We usually do not find those same systems in place for training and development.

“Talk to any group of laymen or professionals about what’ s broken in the current learning and development process, and most will tell you it’s the lack of serious post – training follow – through”

D4 states high impact learning drives the transfer of learning back to the work of the enterprise. They do not leave it to chance or individual initiative. Instead, they put in place systems and processes to actively encourage and manage the transfer process. Learning transfer is the process of putting learning to work in a way that improves performance.

In the chapter on D4, we introduce the concept of learning scrap and the high cost of doing nothing to ensure learning transfer. The elements that define the transfer climate and determine the results that training ultimately delivers is fully explained. We review what it takes to improve performance and discuss breakthroughs in the management of the learning transfer process made possible by technology.

Take a minute and watch Josh Kaufman talk about how to learn anything and think about how this can help trainers make the learning transfer happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MgBikgcWnY

You have reached a milestone in your study of biological psychology, having examined the fundamentals of how the brain is structured, how each individual neuron uses electrical signals to process information, and how the neuron in turn releases chemical neurotransmitters to affect other neurons and, ultimately, to produce behavior. Using this framework of knowledge, step back and consider the big picture of the behavioral issues of concern for psychologists, and which aspects of brain structure and function play important roles in those behaviors.

The Assignment:

Write a 4- to 5-page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe the divisions of the brain that research psychologists are most interested in and explain why.
• Describe what divisions of the brain you might be interested in researching and explain why.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

Submit your Assignment by Day 7.

Based on the business plan and business profile attached, describe the impact of factors of change identified as it relates to operations management.

 Describe the impact of change in an industry of your choice.
 Identify key obstacles/opportunities that necessitated the changes and the nature of changes made in the related industry.
 Assess the enabling factors and the inhibiting factors that drove the change.

Identify key obstacles/opportunities that necessitated the changes and the nature of changes made in the event planning industry.

The assessment
should include a section on both the enabling factors and the inhibiting factors that drove or will drive the change.
