TIPS

  1. Check anything APA at Purdue Online Writing Lab
  2. APA is always double space, no more no less.
  3. The title page must have a header and page number. Center of title page has the title of the assignment, your name, and college name. NO MORE!
  4. Don’t forget the References page. If you list a reference, it must also appear as an in-text citation and vice versa. 9. Never use Works Cited on the References page. Use the word References.
  5. Refrain from using the following phrases when writing an academic paper: “I believe” “In my opinion” “I think” “I”. The reason you use references is so you can write about what has been researched, this information has validity.

You should submit

  • A word document, formatted APA style.
  • Your response should be submitted as a one-page narrative, with two or three well-written paragraphs.
  • Use your textbook and one outside resource to state your answer. All sources must be cited in APA format. This applies to your in-text citation and reference list.

If you need assistance with APA style format, review the resources available in the Writing Resources area of the course (in the course menu on the left)

Using the information from Units 1, 2, & 3, Big D Incorporated will be examining how multivariate techniques can serve the organization best and how they can be applied to their 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 1 example of how a real company has used each of the following multivariate techniques: factor analysis, multidimensional scaling, and 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 in its explanation.

Unit 1 Discussion Topic 1

Topic 1: Does Leadership Make a Difference?

Does leadership make a difference? Why or why not? Justify your opinion with examples from your personal experience and from research on the topic. Include in your response how leaders influence organizational performance and provide an example that is congruent with your position—this may be accomplished by interviewing a leader you know or by citing an example in the media. Finally, based on this, provide your personal definition of leadership.

Unit 1 Discussion Topic 2

Topic 2: Traits of a Great Leader

Locate a current events or magazine article from the past year related to the traits of a great leader. Customize your search to a specific characteristic that is relevant to you; for instance, traits of great women leaders, traits of great military leaders, traits of great millennial leaders, traits of great leaders in the IT field, etc.

Write two well-written paragraphs (about 250 words total) regarding the article you select. The first paragraph will summarize the important points of the article in a way that brings clarity and learning to all who read it. The second paragraph will include your analysis of the relevancy and accuracy of the article as well as how you may apply what you learned to your own leadership journey.

Note: Using the ProQuest Newsstand database in the Library is a great method to access current and relevant articles.
