Develop an interview protocol of ten questions to ask during the interview.

One of the ways to learn about leadership in the academic nurse educator role occurs through the interview method. For this assignment, you will select an academic nurse educator to interview.Develop an interview protocol of ten questions to ask during the interview.

Why do managers have to worry so much about employee motivation issues?

Motivation

Most of us have to work for a living, need our job, and a job is a central part of our lives.

Why do managers have to worry so much about employee motivation issues?

What happened? Why did this delegation go wrong? What needed to be done differently?

A manager delegated the task of receiving, organizing, and posting invoices. The person he delegated to had no idea what went where, no previous experience with anything that had to do with invoices, and he seemed to not be open to questions.

He assumed that this employee would have the know how because it was “expressed” that accounting was something he wanted to get into.

When this was expressed, he meant he was going to take some classes and would like to help when the time came. However, the manager misunderstood “going to class” as “taken some classes.

Soon after all the facts were sorted through, a person was hired to do the tasks of receiving and posting, but the employee lost his desire to learn about accounting.

The whole situation made him phobic of the department and its tasks.

What happened? Why did this delegation go wrong? What needed to be done differently?

Discuss whether these series are appropriate for a regression analysis and what problems may arise from using such series?

Empirical Finance

Using a sample from October of 1980 to December of 2020 answer the questions below.
Question 1
Report the descriptive statistics and comment on the characteristics of the portfolio and the factors series. Discuss whether these series are appropriate for a regression analysis and what problems may arise from using such series? (The statistics should be in a nicely formatted table within the main text, with Eviews output in the Appendix.)

Question 2
Estimate the CAPM and Fama-French 3 factor model using OLS in EViews. Comment in detail on your regression outputs. State/interpret the magnitude and statistical significance of the slope coefficient estimates and the statistical significance and fit of the overall regression, for both models.

Question3 (20 points) Compare the results between the two models of question 2 and comment on which one is better in describing the returns of the portfolio? Furthermore, discuss whether the regressions of question 2 violate any of the main assumptions.

Question 4
Estimate the CAPM model for the portfolio series using quantile regression in EViews for a set of quantiles ranging from 0.1 to 0.9. Comment in detail on your regression output. State/interpret the magnitude and statistical significance of the quantile slope coefficient estimates and compare them with the OLS estimates in Question 2. Perform an equality coefficient test across quantiles.

Question 5 (20 points) Describe how to choose between two non-nested models and potential problems associated with such an approach. How would non-normal data affect this selection approach?

Analyze your results and indicate which of the options you will recommend to your boss – hire the firm or continue dealing with the breakdowns at the current rate?

You decide to run a test to determine the mean time between failures. During the test. you start with 20 operational machines on your production line producing widgets. You record breakdowns during an 80-hour observation period in which three of the machines broke down. One at 35 hours into the test. one at 50 hours into the test. and the 3rd failure comes at 75 hours.

Use Excel and the data you collected to calculate the MTBF of your machines. Analyze your results and place them on the spreadsheet.

Continue to Step 2: Calculate the Expected Breakdown Maintenance Costs …
After collecting and analyzing the MTBF data. you were surprised at how often your machines really broke down.

At your last company. you remember that they had a service firm that would come in and perform preventive maintenance (PM) on your machines and you wonder if this would be an option to reduce breakdowns. However. before you go to your boss to pitch the idea. you want to see if using an outside PM firm would reduce your cost
So you do some research on the cost and run another study on the number of breakdowns of your machines.

Over the last 12 months. the machines have broken down at the rate indicated in the following table:

You find a service firm and request a price quote from them. The PM service firm costs $200 per month. but they tell you that you can still expect on average of 2 breakdowns per month even with the PM service.

Use Excel and the data to calculate the expected breakdown maintenance cost versus hiring the PM firm to service your machines.
Analyze your results and indicate which of the options you will recommend to your boss – hire the firm or continue dealing with the breakdowns at the current rate?
