Use the Student_Data.xls file which consists of 200 MBA students at Whatsamattu U. The file includes variables regarding students’ age, gender, major, GPA, Bachelors GPA, course load, English speaking status, family, weekly hours spent studying. Each of the three assigned problems should be formatted as a one page memo.

COMPLETE PROBLEM 1: It is pretty common across most schools to find the grades at the MBA level divided between A’s and B’s. As such, you expect the mean GPA to be around 3.50. Using the sample of 200 MBA students, conduct a one-sample hypothesis test to determine if the mean graduate GPA is different from 3.50. Use a .05 significance level. Report on your findings (100+ words, 3 or more sentences). In your report, be sure to include the results of the hypothesis test and indicate whether you are using a two-tail, upper-tail, or lower-tail test. Also include a chart (a bar chart or column chart will probably work best) comparing the calculated mean with the hypothesized mean.

COMPLETE PROBLEM 2: Assume you read in the Whatsamatta U website that the average age of their MBA students is 45. Is this really true or have they failed to update this correctly? You think it is far less because more students have started their Masters sooner since the economy is so bad. You took a sample of 200 students (in the data file). Conduct a one-sample hypothesis test to determine if the mean age is less than 45. Use a .05 significance level. Report on your findings (100+ words, 3 or more sentences). In your report, be sure to include the results of the hypothesis test and indicate whether you are using a two-tail, upper-tail, or lower-tail test. Also include a chart (a bar chart or column chart will probably work best) comparing the calculated mean with the hypothesized mean.

COMPLETE PROBLEM 3: You have heard from idle chatter that most students don’t declare a major in their MBA programs. You took a sample of 200 students (in the data file). Conduct a one-sample hypothesis test to determine if the proportion without a major is greater than 50%. Use a .05 significance level. Report on your findings (100+ words, 3 or more sentences). In your report, be sure to include the results of the hypothesis test and indicate whether you are using a two-tail, upper-tail, or lower-tail test. Also include a chart (a bar chart or column chart will probably work best) comparing the calculated proportion with the hypothesized proportion.

Part 2

Decision making is the process of identifying and choosing alternative courses of action. While we want to make rational decisions, sometimes we don’t . . . sometimes we make non-rational decisions.

There are four steps in rational decision-making:

• Recognize and define the problem or opportunity-In business the problem can come in the form of customer complaints, supplier breakdowns, staff turnover, sales decline, etc. Organizations proactively seek opportunities to exceed goals, surpass the industry expectations and to expand and grow the business.
• Identify and analyze alternative courses of action-Leaders should seek input from multiple sources to interpret and analyze the problem/opportunity to come up with as many options as possible to solve the issue.
• Choose a preferred course of action-The group want to answer the following: (1) Is the action ethical?; (2) Is it feasible? (costs, technology availability; (3) Is it effective? If your answer to this question is the resolution is “good enough” you want to rethink this solution it will cause more harm than good.
• Implement the preferred course of action-You need to the participation from all teams to successfully implement the action.

Part 3

Managers spend 1/3 of their time communicating up and down the organizational hierarchy. Communication is the transfer and understanding of information from one person to another. The communication model comprises of several parts.

We want to examine the Communication Pathway or medium in which communication is delivered. The Communication Pathway is the pathway messages are sent, including:

• face-to-face meetings,
• electronic mail and online discussions,
• written letters or memorandums, and
• telephone or voice-mail, among others.

While some people may be better at using certain mediums over others, certain mediums can be better suited for the specific message being conveyed.

For this week’s discussion, suppose you are a manager who needs to communicate several messages to employees of the company.

• For each of the messages above:
  • List the medium (telephone, email, text, face-to-face meeting, etc.) you would use to communicate the message.
  • Explain why you choose that medium over the other possible mediums.
• Then, look at the messages from a general sense and explain how your choices affect trust and credibility among the employees.

Part 4

Leadership is the ability to influence others to achieve organizational goals. Organizations spend billions of dollars each year to improve the leadership skills of its employees. Leadership skills are needed within organizations to execute the vision, mission and strategic goals of the organization.

• What are your strengths?
• Where do you have opportunities to grow your leadership skills?
• Based on your assessment results, propose three things you can do to improve your leadership skills.

Part 5

Organizations from time to time must make hard decisions (expand, layoff employees or close a facility). As a manager you will have to use work experiences, advice from supervisors and the organizational culture to support your decision. Organizational culture is the sum of the values and beliefs shared among employees.

Suppose you are a manager who is faced with having to reduce headcount (layoff one of your two employees) in your unit. Sales within the company have declined due to the downward spiral of the economy each department within the organization is faced with making the same decision. Fortunately, you only have to cut one job; others are reducing more.

Mary is in her mid-20s, single, college graduate, she is very hard working and was in the top 10% of the performance ratings this year, she constantly volunteers to travel, work weekends and evenings. However, she supports political causes that could be viewed as contrary to the goals of the company.

Alice is in her mid-40s, has two young children, her husband is a doctor, her performance is good, and she has above average performance reviews. However, she has limited availability on weekends and limitations onovernight travel due to her volunteer work with local charities.

• As a manager who would you select to layoff and why?
• What other factors can be used to decide who gets laid off in organizations?
• How should an organization choose between a decision that is legal and in the best financial interests of the organization, but which could be viewed as unethical?

AND IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU DO NOT PLAGIARIZE THIS ASSIGNMENT FROM ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT

Developing applications requires much forethought and planning. This project will guide you through the various steps of designing a program that meets a set of requirements. When requirements are understood, software development techniques and tools can be applied to design the objects needed by the program. Once the design has been determined, program logic can be defined. Finally, writing source code can begin.

For this assignment, you will need to refer to a set of requirements, design the program, and then create the code.

Application Requirements

You have been requested to develop a Java application for a large company that provides members and the general public an online product catalog for ordering items like books, DVDs, clothes, household products, and so forth. There are several levels of users, including public (user has not registered), level 1 member, level 2 member, and level 3 member. The level 1 member pays a small monthly subscription fee. Level 2 members are associated with a small business who pays an annual fee covering less than 100 members. Level 3 members are employees of large corporations (more than 100 members) who subscribe annually. As the level increases, so does the discount. The following list highlights these requirements.

The requirements for the application are as follows:

• The application will act as an online ordering system.
• The company accepts orders online and ships those items to the customer address.
• Customers must create a line of credit prior to placing an order.
• Customers view products from the catalog of items.
• Customers place orders.
• The administrator updates account information on behalf of members.
• Administrators add, delete, and modify items in the catalog.
• The application is able to run under most operating systems, including UNIX and Windows, and has a modern graphical user interface.
• The application is designed for future growth.

Part 1 (55 points)

Review the requirements and, using Visio, develop your design by creating use case diagrams, a class diagram, and a sequence diagram. Templates can be found in Visio by accessing the UML System template. There is a use case shape to help you create your use case diagrams. There is a UML sequence shape. Under “More Shapes,” you will find an entity relationship shape for your class diagram.

Click here to refer to a Visio tutorial to learn Visio basics.

• Use case diagrams are used to summarize the relationships between use cases, actors, and systems.
  • Use Case 1: Create Account
  • Use Case 2: Place Order
  • Use Case 3: Add Product to Catalog
  • Use Case 4: Update Account Information
• Sequence diagram that illustrates the various object interactions in their proper sequential order.
• Class diagrams depict the objects and information structures used by the application. The definition of a class is independent of the application itself. Classes describe the objects managed by the application but are independently defined. Be sure to show relationships between class objects, attributes, data types, and methods in your diagram.
  • Class 1: Account
  • Class 2: Account Level
  • Class 3: Address
  • Class 4: Products
  • Class 5: Order
  • Class 6: Line Item

Once you have completed your diagrams, copy them into a Word document that will serve as your application design document. Include explanations for each diagram in your design document.

Part 2 (25 points)

Create pseudocode that describes the necessary flow of your program with respect to both creating a user account and placing an order. This information should be included in your application design document. This information should be included in your application design document.

Part 3 (45 points)

Explain your steps regarding taking the business requirements and developing your application design. Provide details as to the importance of following these important steps prior to coding the application. Describe the advantages and disadvantages to this process. Discuss how this process relates to the software development life cycle.

Parts 1, 2, & 3 are all included in the application design document.
