You have been tasked with designing a comprehensive best practices policy list geared towards managing existing knowledge and any new knowledge as it becomes viable. The best practices policy should include a compiled task list that will help your company to handle not only the regular issues of conducting business within a foreign country, but also the unexpected events (e.g., earthquakes, demonstrations, bomb threats, etc.), no matter the country or countries into which you will be expanding. The policy list should also take any unique challenges that your company may face into consideration.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1. Design a comprehensive best practices policy list that includes policies on the following:
   1. Sanitation (e.g., hand washing, toilet facilities, etc.)
   2. Eating and / or drinking (e.g., at desks, on the company grounds, inside in the manufacturing area at designated tables / areas, etc.)
   3. Conflict resolution (e.g., settling disputes, mediation and / or arbitration with designated mediator on staff, etc.)
   4. In-house teams (e.g., minimum meeting times, scribes, appointed leaders, etc.)
   5. Online team (e.g., 24-hour coverage on phone due to time differences, etc.)
   6. Security (e.g., leaving doors open, locks, key return policy for departing workers, etc.)
   7. Emergency evacuation procedures
2. Determine the key benefits of creating such policies. Provide a rationale for your response.
3. Speculate on the major ramifications if such policies are not created. Provide a rationale for your response.
4. Predict the significant ways in which the best practices policy that you created will contribute towards the long-term sustainability of the company. Provide a rationale for your response.
5. Determine whether or not your best practices policy would provide a competitive advantage over other international companies. Provide one (1) example of a company using a best practices policy to support your response.
6. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

 

Resource: Reimbursement and Pay-for-Performance Paper Grading Criteria

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper and discuss the following:

• Define pay-for-performance.
• Explain how reimbursement is affected by the pay-for- performance approach.
• Discuss how system cost reductions impact the quality and efficiency of health care.
• Discuss how pay-for-performance affects health care providers and their customers.
• Discuss the effects pay-for-performance will have on the future of health care.
• Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

 

 use the work sheet format made available  but only to give brief, bullet point advantages and disadvantages for each business form. Then choose the two business forms which would be the most logical to use or are in use for a business that you work for, that you know of, or that you would like to start. Then, in a maximum of 500 words, explain to me how the advantages and disadvantages of the two business forms would affect the chosen business’s operations. I am asking you to consider the practical effect of a business form selection.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Linear Regression

February 27, 2022/in Uncategorized /by admin

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Linear Regression

In this assignment, you will use a spreadsheet to examine pairs of variables, using the method of linear regression, to determine if there is any correlation between the variables. Afterwards, you will postulate whether this correlation reveals a causal relationship (and why).

Click here to open the Excel spreadsheet containing the data for this assignment. 

This spreadsheet contains the data from a study that attempted to see if there is a correlation between the hours that students studied and the grade that they earned on a test. The correlation test you are about to run will help you to determine if there is, in fact, a correlation between study time and test score. If you find a strong correlation, then you will postulate whether you feel this indicates a causal relationship.

Below are instructions on how to perform this correlation test in Microsoft Excel. 

In the Excel spreadsheet, perform the following operations:

1. Save the spreadsheet to your computer. 
2. With your mouse, highlight all of the data on the spreadsheet in columns A and B.
3. In the tabs at the top of the page, click Insert.
4. In the Insert ribbon, in the Charts section, click Scatter. Be sure to select the option where it will just plot dots, it will be called Scatter with only Markers. If you do this right, then you’ll see a chart on the page.
5. Now, on the chart, right-click on one of the data points (dots). Just pick a dot somewhere near the middle of the distribution.
6. Select Add Trendline from the drop-down menu that appears when you right-click on a dot.
7. A new menu will appear. Select Linear, select Automatic, and click the boxes next to Display Equation on chart and Display r-squared value on chart.
8. Click Close.
9. Now, you should see a line drawn through the dots. It will roughly cut through the middle of the dot distribution.
10. You’ll also see the linear regression equation and r² value displayed next to the line. 

To see an example spreadsheet containing a completed analysis click here.

Now that you’ve completed your analysis and determined the linear regression formula and r², it is now time to report on the results of your study and examine your findings.

In a Microsoft Word document, respond to the following:

1. Report the sample you selected and the question that was explored in the study.

1. Report the r² linear correlation coefficient and the linear regression equation produced in the Excel spreadsheet.

1. What would be the value of Pearson’s r (simply the square root of r²)?

1. Would Pearson’s r be positive or negative? What does this imply about the relationship between the factors in this study?

1. What is the implication of any correlation found between the variables in the study you picked?

1. Does this correlation imply a causal relationship? Explain.

1. Are there other variables that you think should have been examined that would have improved this study or helped to pinpoint what factors are causal?

For this assignment, you will submit a spreadsheet and a report. The spreadsheet will be the Microsoft Excel file containing your scatterplot and analysis. Name your Microsoft Excel file as follows: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.xls.

The report will be a Microsoft Word document in which you will address all of the questions in this assignment in the form of a narrative.  Name your Microsoft Word document as follows: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.docx.

Submit both files to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, July 7, 2015.
