Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Part 1

Top management of a large company has told you that they would like to be able to determine what the impact of years of service at their company has on workers’ productivity levels, and they would like to be able to predict potential productivity based upon years of service. The company has data on all of its employees and has been using a valid productivity measure that assesses each employee’s productivity.

What is a possible way to answer management’s question, and how does the analysis work? Reference the section on bi-variate linear regression from Green & Salkind.

Part 2

After reviewing the results of the analysis in Part I, the company found they are significantly related. However, a statistician reviewed the output and said that the results really do not explain much of what is happening in the total relationship.

What information is the statistician referring to from your output, and why is it important? Reference the section on bi-variate linear regression from Green & Salkind.

2. Problem 1: Create a Python program to solve a simple pay calculation. Calculate the amount of pay, given employee name, hours worked, and hourly rate. (The formula to calculate payroll is pay = hourly rate * hours worked.) Display employee name, hourly rate, hours worked, and pay. (Do not add any rules such as overtime)

Problem 2: Create a Python program to calculate the average miles per gallon obtained on a trip. Input car name, the amount of gas used and the number of miles driven. (The formula to calculate miles per gallon is miles per gallon = number of miles driven / amount of gas used. ) Display car name, gas used, miles driven and MPG. Use your own values to test the. You can hard code the values or you can use the input() function. See announcement  for sample code.

(Jamsa, 2013).

Chapter 12 topics:

• Discuss key items that should be included in an SLA.
• Define predictive analytics and discuss how an IT manager might use such analytics.
• Discuss how an IT manager might use load testing on a site.
• Define and discuss vendor lock-in and identify steps a company should take to mitigate this risk.
• With respect to cloud-based solutions, list and discuss 5 to 10 operations or tasks an IT manager should oversee.

Chapter 13 topics:

• List and describe common system requirements one should consider before moving an application to the cloud.
• Discuss why a company should consider using a consultant to oversee a cloud migration and list specific skills you would expect the consultant to have.
• List and discuss resource utilization characteristics one should monitor for an application prior to moving the application to the cloud.
• List possible training requirements for an SaaS solution integration, a PaaS application migration, and an IaaS application migration.
• List and describe budget considerations one should evaluate before moving an application to the cloud.
• List and describe IT governance considerations one should evaluate before moving an application to the cloud.
• Define and describe cloud bursting.

NOTE: You are required to use at least two-peer reviewed sources (besides your textbook) to answer the above questions.  

 For  this discussion, you will need to address all the tasks below and be  sure to participate fully by responding to your classmates as well.  Citations should be used to support your analysis and references should  be included in APA format. Before you begin, be sure to review the Discussion Question Guidelines!  

Now that you have been introduced to some advanced features in  Microsoft Word, you will teach the class an advanced skill in it. In  this discussion, select at least one advanced feature of Microsoft Word  and, using your own words (no copying and pasting) and examples, teach  your classmates this skill. Check the posts on the discussion board to  choose something no one else has shared yet!

In your discussions with your classmates, see if you can follow their directions or offer any help to problems they had.

You can also offer any help with challenges your classmates have shared.

By Thursday, December 10, 2020, make your initial  post to the Discussion Area. After you post your initial submission, be  sure to respond to at least two of your classmates, and to the professor  when appropriate, by Monday, December 14,2020, on at least two different days of the week.  /content/enforced/71846-17093625/Week_Two_Discussion_Question1.pptx

NOTE:

In this project, you will follow your own interests to create a portfolio worthy single-frame viz or multi-frame data story that will be shared in your presentation. You will first create a project to identify your goals for the project, including the question you wish to answer or explore with data. You will then find data that will provide the information you are seeking. You will then import that data into Tableau and prepare it for analysis. Next you will create a dashboard that will allow you to explore the data in depth and identify meaningful insights. You will then give structure to your data story by writing the story in narrative form. Finally, you will consult your design checklist to craft the final viz or data story in Tableau. 

APA FORMAT, 8 PAGES LENGTH and should have at least two figures or graphs or tables(data visualization) and 5 to 6 peer reviewed journals

Start with your data model from Week 2 and now think in terms of creating a data warehouse or data mart data set from your database. To do so, you will first need to rethink your logical schema and transform it from an OLTP type of schema to an OLAP type of schema based on a dimensional data model. Next, you will need to add a temporal property to your data model, which means you must decide how to incorporate the notion of time. Use the dimensional data architecture concepts you learned this week for this assignment.

WEEK 2 PAPER ATTACHED. DO NOT PLAGARIZE. ASSIGNMENT IS SUBMITTED THROUGH TURNITIN

This week’s journal article focuses on attribution theory and how it influences the implementation of innovation technologies.  Two types of employee attributions are noted in the article (intentionality and deceptive intentionality), please review these concepts and answer the following questions:

1. Provide a high-level overview/ summary of the case study
2. Note how constructive intentionality impacts innovation implementations
3. Find another article that adds to the overall findings of the case and note how attribution-based perspective enhances successful innovation implementations.  Please be explicit and detailed in answering this question.

   A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

• 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
• APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

The Business Issue Facing

Company name: U of A XYZ hospital

An Evolving Business Landscape 

Health Care Consumers are becoming more aware that:

Medical Information belongs to them

Greater desire to access the information NOW

Information must be accessible to other providers within/outside of Network SECURELY

Geography should not be a barrier to access

Consumer Desire and Business Issue appear to be inter-related 

Using existing Hospital IT Systems to address Business Issue not enough

Must realize that hospitals are now either merging or consolidating for financial survival 

We are now forced into  a “Coopetition Model” to stay relatively independent

Blockchain can serve as a solution via “Honest Broker” Mechanism for Data Exchange

Yet, still allows U of A xyz Hospital to continue to use it’s internal EMR system w/o substantial institutional change

Requirement:

Need to prepare 7 slides on Associated Costs and Shared Risks

6 slides of information and 1 side is reference.
