Managerial Decision Analytics

Jaycee’s department store chain is planning to open a new store. It needs to decide how to allocate the 100,000 square feet of available floor space among seven departments. The accompanying data includes the expected performance of each department per month, in terms of square feet (sf). The company has gathered $20 million to invest in floor stock. The risk column is a measure of risk associated with investment in floor stock based on past data from other stores and accounts for outdated inventory, pilferage, breakage, and so on. For instance, electronics loses 24% of its total investment, furniture loses 12% of its total investment, and so on. The amount of risk should be no more than 10% of the total investment. Assume that it is not required that the entire available floor space be used. Answer parts a and b below.

a. Develop a linear optimization model to maximize profit.
Define variable names to use for the square feet for each department. For the purposes of this solution process, use E for square feet of Electronics, F for square feet of Furniture, M for square feet of Men’s clothing, C for square feet of Clothing, J for square feet of Jewelry, B for square feet of Books, and A for square feet of Appliances.

Next, identify the objective function. In this case, the objective function is the sum of the square feet of each department times their respective expected profits. Write the objective function.
maximum profit.

Next, write each constraint as a mathematical equation or inequality. In this case, the constraints are the amount of available floor space, investment capital, the maximum risk, and the minimum and maximum floor space for each department.

Write the constraint for the amount of floor space that can be used.

Write the constraint for the amount of investment capital that can be used.

Calculate the risk per square foot of floor space used by multiplying the risk as a percentage of money invested by the investment per square foot.

Veterans and work

Complete an 8-page APA-style paper.

The focus of questions is listed. They are discussing Veterans and work. It has to have a few resources as well, feel free to search yourself. APA 7th ed style

MAIN DETAILS: National attention and funding are being directed toward assisting the economic success of America’s military veterans. Veterans frequently face numerous challenges living outside the military environment. This is especially true for disabled veterans. We would like to investigate, through research, the factors that have contributed to the difficulties faced by veterans of wartime who have transitioned back into civilian life, with a particular focus on those who have been disabled as a result of their service in the armed forces. Our goal is to determine the factors that contribute to the formidable job obstacles faced by veterans. As the two of us eventually would like to look for employment with the Veterans Administration in the future, this is a topic that can help us better understand the disabled veteran population and the challenges they experience when it comes to finding work.

  • Do veterans who are looking for work have insufficient access to the resources that are available to them?
  • Is there a connection between access to mental health and the inability of veterans to obtain work in the civilian workforce?

Use at least 7 scholarly peer-reviewed sources for the paper.

 

What does the game mean? How does the game mean? When does it mean the most and the least? Is there any other way to make this game mean what it does?

The games selected for this lab are either serious or semi-serious simulations. Each game has an ideology, aesthetic, and a pedagogy to teach you things (including the game mechanics). There are four fundamental questions to answer:

  1. What does the game mean? (think about stories, relationships, signs)
  2. How does the game mean? (think about mechanics)
  3. When does it mean the most and the least? (think across the experience of the interface)
  4. Is there any other way to make this game mean what it does?

“Mean” in this context is asking you to engage in serious reflection about the design of the game and how it makes sense to you. Meaning includes the signifiers (pictures, buttons, relationships, symbols) and how those signifiers are put together. When you think about when it means, consider the relationship between playing the game and the missions or tasks you are to perform.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

In highly influential research published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Sandra L. Decker and Amy Ellen Schwartz reached a curious conclusion. They found that higher alcohol prices decrease alcohol consumption and smoking participation (suggesting a complementarity in consumption). Higher cigarette prices tend to reduce smoking participation but increase drinking (meaning substitutability in consumption). Their research titled “CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL: SUBSTITUTES OR COMPLEMENTS?” is provided with this examination. If their research is valid, then it will be tough for the government to decide whether to tax alcohol or tobacco or both.

Imagine that you are working for a corporate strategy firm that advises corporations about governmental relations. A tobacco manufacturer approaches you for consulting services. They want you to look at the sin taxes that affect their business. They acknowledge that a sin tax, whether levied on alcohol or tobacco, will always reduce the demand for their product. They want to avoid that by arguing that sin taxes imposed on tobacco might increase alcoholism and drunk driving. That might pose an additional burden on society and affect the insurance market. They want to argue that taxes levied on tobacco might increase drinking and lead to higher chances of alcohol-related diseases and drunk driving-related death and injury.

However, your existing client is a manufacturer of alcohol products, and they like the tobacco taxes as they might increase the demand for alcohol. Your firm also wants to court a life insurance company, but taking a side with the higher tobacco taxes might make them unhappy. An increase in drunk driving might lead to more accidents and deaths, adversely affecting the life insurance company’s business.

Given the situation’s complexity, your corporate leaders want to meet for a brainstorming and strategy session. The leadership wants you to make a comprehensive presentation about your firm’s business and client relationship strategy, keeping in mind the conflicting needs of various existing and future clients. Your company’s financial success, reputation, and, ultimately, your job depend on your presentation. In other words, you are now a key participant in a very high-stakes scenario analysis that might make or break your career.

Write a memo for your leadership articulating and analyzing various challenges and recommendations regarding the path you think the firm should take.
