As business processes have evolved, so too has the use of IT systems and associated tools. As a result, data storage needs have increased to the point where IT solutions are required to maximize new business practices. What challenges do companies face regarding managing data? What is the role of Big Data in enterprises?
For each of the seven categories found within the Baldridge Excellence Builder document, assess your selected company on the descriptors found on page 15. Make note for each category of whether the company is Reactive, Early, Mature, or Role Model in its operations strategies and practices. For example, when considering the first category, Leadership, are its leaders’ behaviors characterized as being reactive to problems, or are they reflective of applied best practices and continual learning and improvement?
Note: The seven categories and their associated sub-categories begin on page 7. The titles are subject to change each year when a new edition of the Baldridge Excellence Builder is published. In the 2019–2020 edition, the seven categories are as follows: 1. Leadership, 2. Strategy, 3. Customers, 4. Measurement, Analysis, and Knowledge Management, 5. Workforce, 6. Operations, and 7.

The Conceptual or Theoretical Framework Assignment Instructions state:
Although the terms conceptual and theoretical frameworks have been used interchangeably at times they do refer to two different things. A theoretical framework is a study based on an existing theory or theories whereas a conceptual framework is something the author develops based on the theory. After reviewing the Reading and Study material for this module, conducting your own outside research, and considering the two different types of frameworks, select a conceptual or theoretical framework to explore that will align with your problem statement from last week. Complete the below items for this project:
1.) Identify the appropriate framework (conceptual or theoretical) and provide a rationale for the selection.
2.) Explain why the selected framework is important and how it can guide research.
3.)Provide a basic example of your selected framework.
(See Examples Below).
Example(s): Theoretical Framework and Conceptual Framework templates are provided under Module, Week 3, Apply, then under the Conceptual or Theoretical Framework Assignment Instructions link.

1. This scenario is not uncommon, as many consumers have questioned the weight/ratio of the items they have received. With this said, it’s not a bad practice to run a test like this every so often to ensure the machines are correctly calibrated. Here is some additional information on why these tests are important: Hypothesis testing (https://www.statisticshowto.com/probability-and-statistics/hypothesis-testing/)
Do you conduct tests like this at your employer? When may a test like this be applicable?
2. Using these statistics, we can indeed conclude that the machinery should be recalibrated. Creating a null and alternate hypothesis is one of the first steps when faced with a situation like this.Video on Hypthesis testing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zZYBALbZgg)
What if there are more than two possible solutions? Is it possible to still come up with a null and alternate?
Assignment Summary
In this final writing assignment, you have the opportunity to write a short (150-250 words) document that allows you to reflect on what WRTG 394 has been like for you. You’ll have the opportunity to express your thoughts and feelings about what has probably been a very different sort of writing course.
How Your Final Reflection relates to your other work in WRTG 394
You have written – a lot – in WRTG 394. That’s because writing is a skill like playing a musical instrument or playing a sport – practice with coaching is the best way we have for allowing people to developing a skill. That’s why a basketball player may spend time each day practicing free throws or a pianist may spend time each day playing scales – time spent doing something helps anyone become more skilled. Writing works the same way. Here, of course, we’ve focused on two skills – improving your general writing skills as you develop your familiarity and knowledge of a particular type (in writing the term is genre) of writing: business writing. This assignment gives you a chance to reflect on what you think you’ve learned and (perhaps) what you wish you’d learned.
What You Must Provide for the Midterm Reflection
In a single draft (no revision for this as with the midterm reflection assignment), you will discuss what working on developing your skill rather than producing a product has been like for you. You should provide the following for this assignment:
A short memo that discusses your experience thus far in WRTG 394 and mentions in particular any experiences that you have found memorable.

Part 2: Ethics in Business
Have you witnessed unethical practices in the workplace? If so, share your experience with the class and explain how this impacted your perception of the business. If not, research to find a current example of unethical business practices, share the source, and explain how you would have handled this situation differently.
1. Develop a response to this question. Make certain you have answered all parts of the question completely. Use complete sentences in a paragraph format, include at least one text citation from the chapters to support your insights, and be sure to proofread and check your spelling when complete. This should include a minimum of 100 words.
• As a supervisor, how would you respond to an employee that told you they were dissatisfied with their job but did not want to quit. What advice would you give them and why?
2. Respond to at least two peers -Type the name of the other student upon whose list you are commenting. For example, “Helen, you’re correct about the entrepreneurs giving back to the community. The entrepreneurs contributing 3% of the net profit helped the community’s efforts to establish an afternoon program for latch key children…” Your response to each should include at least three sentences. In order to receive credit for this assignment, you must respond to at least three of your fellow classmates. Incomplete assignments will not be graded.
There is no value in your replies if you just give personal opinion without your reference to what you have read in the text from chapter one to chapter 9. You should give your opinion and substantiate it with direct quotations from the text. An example of a direct quotation would be the following: “Hertzberg states that there are two motivators and hygienic factors that affect workers. One of the main motivators according to Hertzberg is the work value to the worker.” (Allis, page 99). The quotation is a hypothetical one.
If you don’t use a format with quotation marks and parenthetical citations (parenthetical citation format example: Allis, page 99), then you do not get credit for your opinion.
Your writing should follow the MLA Handbook style. Proof your work carefully.
This assignment requires you to research a career or position in which you’re interested. Not only will you learn about the position itself, but also its desired requirements for the ideal candidate, salary information and more.
1. Visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook website at https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ (Links to an external site.) and use the search box to research information about your desired position or career. For additional or more detailed information, you can also visit a specific company’s website.
2. Interview a professional in your desired career path to determine how much and what types of professional communication they engage in. For example, do they spend a large portion of their day writing or on the phone? Do they make client presentations or pitches in person? Do they use e-mail and, if so, how frequently? What are their communication pet peeves? What attire do they wear to convey confidence, poise and responsibility? What communication advice or tips do they have for others to be successful in this career?
3. Write an informative report in memo format that discusses the findings from your Occupational Outlook research and interview(s). Your closing paragraph or summary should include conclusions you have reached regarding communication skills in this field. In addition, it should include recommendations you have for others entering this field. How do you plan to sharpen your technical and communication skills after conducting this research? Did anything surprise you? How do you view this career choice differently?
Reports should be at least 800 words in length and use appropriate report formatting (refer to Chapter 9 of your textbook for details). Remember purpose and audience, research and organization, style and substance. Also, here is a great checklist (Links to an external site.) for reference when revising/proofreading.
