Statistics: Data Points

Evaluate a set of statistics (an excel spreadsheet with 50 unique sets of data is embedded at the end of this description–(Use Data Set 11), construct a simple table (you can do this using the table icon in your rich text editor). On that table include the data set you selected and then calculate the mean, mode, and standard deviation of the data. Next, develop a scenario that best represents the data you selected by paying attention to the data set and your results.

What kind of real-world scenario would you find yourself gathering data values such as you’re that have stats like the ones you computed. Discuss what the stats are telling you about your data based on the scenario you chose. For instance, why does it have such a large standard deviation (or such a small one) and what does that tell you about your data? Discuss similar insights about the mean and mode (be sure to use the =mode.mult version of the mode formula in case you have more than one mode!)

Module 10: the “World’s most admired company”

In this module, the role of the corporate headquarters in a multibusiness company—in particular, how the corporate headquarters can create value for the individual businesses. This necessitates examining the role of the corporate headquarters and its relations with individual businesses. For this week’s assignment, review CASE 13 How Do You Solve a Problem Like General Electric?, Chapter 13 (in your textbook).

Remember: A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:

1. Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the situation described in the case study.

2. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.

3. Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.

4. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.

5. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.

Case Study Questions:

1. Why, during the 20th century, was GE such a successful company?

2. What are the reasons for the collapse in GE’s financial performance during 2016-20?

3. What advice would you give to CEO Larry Culp? In particular, would you continue with the restructuring plan initiated by previous CEO John Flannery, implement a more radical unbundling of GE, or retain GE’s existing business portfolio? Clearly share your argument for the selected strategy.

4. How does the corporate management system being implemented by Culp differ from that established by his predecessors at GE? Is the new management system superior?

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.

Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.

2. What is the probability that hydrogen-powered fuel cells will become a commercially viable technology for propelling EVs?

3. Assess Toyota’s EV strategy and offer recommendation in relation to:

a. The relative roles of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery, and fuel cell powertrains

b. Strategy for hydrogen fuel cells. In particular: (i) Should Toyota emphasize the development of fuel cell cars (such as the Mirai) or the development of fuel-cell power units to supply other vehicle makers? (ii) To what extent should Toyota collaborate with other companies in developing and commercializing fuel cells, and with whom should it partner?

4. Should Toyota continue to invest in fuel cells even if batteries are likely to become the dominant EV technology?
