Three peer-reviewed, scholarly or professional references are required.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Explain why the research question is relevant, and why we would care about the answer, both as the wider public and as academic political scientists.

Research Paper Before writing a research paper for a seminar in political science, you should always develop your research design. In this seminar, you only have to write the design, not the actual research paper. The research design is a plan for your research. It is written for two audiences: 1) yourself: it provides you as a researcher with a transparent plan to follow throughout the research process; 2) other scholars/students of political science: it allows your peers and me as your instructor to give you feedback,always most helpful at an early stage; Keeping these two audiences and functions in mind is useful when preparing your research design (as in general, it is useful to think about the audience you are writing for, no matter what you are writing). A research design addresses all components of the research process we have already been discussing and which you have been extracting from the articles you present in class week by week. Research question Ideally, a question is a phrase that ends with a question mark, do not beat around the bush with cryptical phrases covering up what you actually want to do. In empirical papers, there are “how?” and “why/what causes?” questions. Explain why the research question is relevant, and why we would care about the answer, both as the wider public and as academic political scientists. Theory Theory provides tentative answers to the research question. Explanatory (as opposed to normative) theories consist of concepts and hypotheses that establish relationships between causes and an outcome (qualitative terminology), respectively independent and dependent variables (quantitative terminology). Start from the theories and research questions and try to think of possible empirical designs related to one of the theories. Conceptualisation The process of defining the concepts you are using in your research. You can either draw on an established definition, or come up with your own. The important thing is that you are transparent about what your key concepts mean (e.g. “I define an ethnics commission’s autonomy as having freedom from political interference”). Operationalisation Translating concepts into things that can be observed in the real world (e.g. answers of agency members to a survey question about agency’s freedom from political interference) Case selection Choose a case / cases that allow answering the research question and justify them from the perspective of general theory applying to more than just your case(s) and having in mind the universe of cases (the broader set of similar phenomena). Remember that we do not just want to understand individual cases, but contribute to improving general theories. Data collection State how you plan to gather your data: e.g. compiling datasets (surveys, electoral results), original documents (politicians’ speeches, transcripts of parliamentary sessions), conducting interviews, …. (here

you discuss ideas on where you would find the data you need for your study, since you are not actually going to undertake this step) Analysis & Results Using qualitative and/or quantitative methods (please justify why you would use which method(s) of analysis in your research project). Describe your results Inference Answering the research question on the basis of empirical evidence Discussion Discuss how your results relate to the current state of the art (are they in line with previous study? Are they pointing to the opposite direction? Are your hypothesis confirmed? If not, what are the possible reasons?). Highlight the main shortcomings and possible / future improvements (there are always shortcoming,!). Conclusion Recap your research question and contribution of your work to the current literature by summarizing your results and their relevance. What research gap could you not fill and should be addressed by future research?

MBA 6350 Case Study 2

In this project, you will develop a best fitting regression model to predict home prices from several variables using a random sample of 1,000 houses located in the greater Wilmington, Delaware area (Home Prices Data Set.xlsx).  The data set contains 5 variables: price of the home, living area (square feet), number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and age of the home.  In developing both your model and the report, address the items below.

  1. There are numerous variables that are believed to be predictors of housing prices, including the ones in the data set for this project. Using the web, find the key variables that determine home price including any not include in this data set.
  2. Using Data>Data Analysis>Descriptive Statistics in Excel, calculate the mean, median, range and standard deviation of each variable and summarize the results in table.
  3. Using Excel, create histograms for price of the home, living area (square feet) and age of the home. Be sure to give each chart a title and label the axes clearly.
  4. Using Excel, create scatterplots of each variable with each other variable. Be sure to give each chart a title and label the axes clearly.
  5. Using Data>Data Analysis>Correlation in Excel, calculate the correlation coefficient each variable with each other variable.
  6. Using Data>Data Analysis>Regression in Excel, run 4 separate simple regression models to predict the dependent variable (price of the home) with each of the independent variables. Use an alpha level of 0.05 to determine significance.
  7. Using Data>Data Analysis>Regression in Excel, run a multiple regression model to predict the dependent variable with all 4 independent variables. Use an alpha level of 0.05 to determine significance.
  8. In Word, write a summary report of the findings that includes the tables, charts and regression analyses from steps 1-7 and includes the following:
    1. An introductory paragraph summarizes the purpose of the analysis. Also include information that found in your web search about the key variables that determine home price.
    2. A section (1 or more paragraphs) describing what the tabular data from step 2 indicate about the central tendency, variability and distribution of each variable. For example, do the variables appear to be distributed in a symmetric or skewed pattern.
    3. A section (1 or more paragraphs) describing how the frequency histograms from step 3 support and clarify the findings of the tabular data. Include in this section any evidence suggesting outliers in the data.
    4. A section (1 or more paragraphs) describing what the scatterplots from step 4 and correlations from step 5 indicate about the relationship between the various pairs of variables (e.g., are the variables related?, does the relationship appear to be linear or nonlinear?, is the direction of the relationship positive or negative?).
    5. A section (1 or more paragraphs) summarizing the findings of the 4 simple regression models from step 6. Which models (if any) show that the independent variable in the model is a significant predictor of price of the home?  Which models (if any) show that the independent variable in the model is not a significant predictor of price of the home?  Which model is the best fitting?  Which model is the poorest fitting?
    6. A section (1 or more paragraphs) summarizing the findings of the multiple regression model from step 7. Which variables in the model (if any) show that are a significant predictor of price of the home?  Which variables in the model (if any) show that are not a significant predictor of price of the home?  Does the multiple regression model provide a better fit than the best fitting simple regression model?
    7. A concluding paragraph summarizing the key findings of the analysis and making about which model is the best fitting. Based on your web research, indicate any other variables that are not included in the current best fitting model that might improve the fit if they were included.

Note:  Submit a single Excel workbook showing all work for steps 2-7 and a Word document of your summary report that addresses all parts step 8.  Make sure to clearly label your tables and charts.

 

Develop a proposal which focuses on at least three key issues or action items that you would target at Teton Grand.

/in /by

Review Geva (2008) and find two scholarly research articles on corporate social responsibility then develop a proposal which focuses on at least three key issues or action items that you would target at Teton Grand as an Industrial and Organizational psychologist hired to help them think through potential changes to their course curriculum.

Be sure to include the following:
Statistics you have run throughout the course ( Z SCORES, PROBABILITY, T-TEST, ANOVA, CORRELATION)to build a case for options they may want to consider
A description of the ways in which your proposal addresses social responsibility and corporate citizenship
Note: Your paper should be approximately 5 pages in length and adhere to the APA format guidelines (i.e. citing sources appropriately, including references and using APA formatted tables to show data).
ATTACHED IS THE ARTICLE AS WELL AS TETON GRAND INFORMATION.

Design a training that must be a narrated presentation of one statistics concept for the course.

/in /by

Design a training that must be a narrated presentation of one statistics concept for the course. This is not a training that should focus only on how to run the analysis but should include “wisdom” on how Teton Grand can use these analyses moving forward. You are able to do a training on, ANOVA. You cannot rerun any analysis on variables that we previously ran as a part of this course and calculating descriptive statistics or zscores is not permitted for this assignment. This training should incorporate an example of a firm that has used the analysis you are discussing to their benefit. This means you will need to research a case study and weave it into the deliverable. The assignment must also include one example of statistics being used to generate business insights or make business decisions from outside of the Teton Grand case. You will need to research this on your own. Some good resources are the WSJ and Harvard Business Review. The example must be related to the statistical concept of your training. For example, you may weave in an example about how General Motors uses correlations to understand employee satisfaction. The information you find must be referenced. Note: A regular presentation should contain approximately 15 slides. Your submission should adhere to the APA format and guidelines (i.e. citing sources appropriately, including references and using APA formatted tables to show data).
