Dataset Assignment

Dataset Assignment

In this assignment, you will develop essential data analysis skills by working with survey data in Excel. Businesses frequently use surveys to collect insights from employees and customers to better understand attitudes, behaviors, and decision-making patterns. By analyzing survey data, organizations can identify trends, evaluate relationships between key factors, and make informed business decisions.

Descriptive analytics plays a crucial role in this process by summarizing data, uncovering patterns, and providing a foundation for strategic recommendations. This assignment emphasizes the practical application of data analysis by having you interpret a real-world dataset, extract meaningful insights, and assess relationships between key variables. Your goal is to analyze and organize the data to present a clear and actionable business case for stakeholders.

Task

You are a data analyst at a consulting firm specializing in eCommerce solutions for manufacturing. Your firm recently conducted a survey of middle managers in manufacturing firms to assess their attitudes toward online distribution channels and third-party digital platforms.

Your analysis should focus on understanding key trends, identifying factors influencing digital adoption, and generating insights that inform business decisions. The final report will be presented to executives, data analysts, and strategy teams, requiring you to translate data insights into meaningful business recommendations.

Dataset Assignment

Your task includes:

Summarizing survey responses using descriptive statistics
Evaluating relationships between key variables
Exploring demographic differences in attitudes toward digital adoption
Providing strategic recommendations based on findings

Understanding the Business Challenge

Many manufacturing firms are navigating challenges in adopting eCommerce strategies. Your analysis should address::

How do manages perceive online distribution channels?
What are the key concerns regarding third-party platforms (e.g., Amazon, Alibaba)?
Does confidence in internal digital skills influence investment in eCommerce?

Your findings will help your consulting firm develop data-driven strategies for improving digital adoption in manufacturing.

Dataset Assignment

Key Concepts

Manufacturing Firm – A company that produces physical goods by transforming raw materials into finished products using industrial processes, machinery, and labor.
Digital Adoption in Manufacturing – How manufacturing firms integrate digital tools and technologies to enhance operations and expand online sales.
Online Distribution Channels – Digital sales channels that allow businesses to sell products directly to customers through their own eCommerce platforms, websites, or digital storefronts. Example: A manufacturer selling through its own website (e.g., Shopify, Square) or using a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model (e.g., Nike selling through Nike.com instead of Amazon).
Third-Party Digital Platforms – External marketplaces where businesses list and sell products without owning the platform. These platforms expand customer reach but come with fees and platform restrictions. Example: Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, Etsy.
eCommerce Strategies – Approaches businesses use to sell products online, optimize marketing, logistics, and customer experience.
- Direct-to-Consumer (DTC): Selling products through a company’s own website (e.g., Allbirds, Warby Parker).
- Omnichannel Retailing: Integrating physical stores, websites, and third-party platforms (e.g., H&M selling in stores and online).
- Marketplace Strategy: Using third-party platforms (e.g., Amazon, Alibaba) to expand reach.
- Subscription eCommerce: Offering recurring product deliveries (e.g., Dollar Shave Club, Birchbox).

Dataset Assignment

Understanding the Dataset

The dataset includes survey responses from 263 middle managers working in manufacturing firms. Respondents were selected based on the following criteria:

Employed in a manufacturing company
Hold a managerial position (at least middle management level)
Supervise at least two subordinates
Fluent in English
Confirmed that their company markets products through online distribution channels

The survey consists of four key categories, each measured on a 1–7 scale (1 = Strongly Disagree, 7 = Strongly Agree).

Survey Categories

Investment in Online Distribution Channels (INT1–4): Perceived benefits of online distribution for international market expansion, cost reduction, and operational improvements.
Satisfaction with the Company’s eCommerce Platform (CMS1–3): Evaluates the perception of a company’s own eCommerce platform as a viable sales channel.
Perceptions of Third-Party Marketplace Platforms (TPMP1–3): Measures how businesses view third-party platforms (Amazon, Alibaba) as potential sales growth opportunities.
Confidence in Internal Digital Capabilities (COM1–4): Examines how confident companies are in their internal skills, training, and discussions regarding eCommerce.

Additional Variables

The dataset also includes demographic and organizational characteristics that may influence survey responses:

Variable	Description
Company Size	SME (0) vs. Large Company (1)
Gender	Female (0) vs. Male (1)
Industry	Textile, Electronics, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Other
Work Territory	UK, USA, EU, Other non-EU
Age Groups	Categorized into five brackets
Seniority Levels	Middle Manager (1), Senior Manager (2), Top Executive/Board Member (3)

By analyzing these variables, you can identify trends and compare attitudes across different groups.

Dataset Analysis

For this assignment, you will analyze the Assignment 3 Survey Data Set.xlsx to evaluate manufacturers’ eCommerce practices. Using Excel, conduct the following analysis and present your findings in a professional report.

Dataset Assignment

Descriptive Statistics

Analyze attitudes toward eCommerce adoption by calculating key statistics:

Central Tendency (Mean, Median, Mode)
- Investment in online distribution (INT1–4)
- eCommerce platform satisfaction (CMS1–3)
- Third-party marketplace perception (TPMP1–3)
- Confidence in internal skills (COM1–4)
Variability (Standard Deviation, Range)
- Do responses within each category show high agreement or variation?
Categorical Breakdown
- Company size, industry, and work territory distributions
- Age group and seniority breakdown

Correlation Analysis

Use Excel’s built-in correlation function to examine relationships between key variables. Interpret correlations using the following scale:

Corelation Coefficient	Relationship Strength
0.00 – 0.20	Weak or No Relationship
0.21 – 0.40	Weak Relationship
0.41 – 0.60	Moderate Relationship
0.61 – 0.80	Strong Relationship
0.81 – 1.00	Very Strong Relationship

Analyze the following relationships and create scatterplots with trendlines to visualize key correlations.

Investment in online distribution (INT1–4) vs. eCommerce platform satisfaction (CMS1–3)
Investment in online distribution (INT1–4) vs. third-party platform perception (TPMP1–3)
Confidence in internal skills (COM1–4) vs. investment, CMS, and TPMP scores

Demographic Comparisons

Use Pivot Tables to group responses by age and gender, and analyze:

Average scores for INT1–4, CMS1–3, and TPMP1–3
Variations in digital adoption attitudes across age groups and gender
Bar charts to compare attitudes across different groups

Visualizing Key Insights

Use Excel charts to present findings:

Bar Chart: Compare attitudes by industry company size or seniority level,

Therapeutic Process

By Academic Wizard Blog

The purpose of this video is self-reflection regarding the Therapeutic Process and one’s own role in that process as a PMHNP provider. Through reflective practice, you will evaluate your own emotional intelligence as defined as the capacity to recognize one’s own feelings as well as others’ and one’s ability to monitor and manage those feelings. The point of the exercise is to learn about yourself, your triggers, the types of cases you end up getting overly involved with, and those you would rather refer to someone else. The idea is to be able to step back personally and analyze your behaviors/thoughts/decisions and how those impact both you and your clients.

Your video should be 3–5 minutes in length.

Therapeutic Process

Case scenario:

Amy is a 20-year-old female gymnast who presents to you because she has missed her period for 6 months. She feels cold all the time and has noticed that when she crosses her legs, she gets pins-and-needles sensations down her leg. She had a stress fracture of her right tibia 5 years ago but denies any other medical history. She denies being sexually active, and the review of systems is positive for frequent heartburn, constipation, and fatigue. As you take more history, you realize that this patient consumes a very limited diet. She is a strict vegan and restricts her calories to <1,000 kcal/day in order to “stay in shape.” She is 5 ft 3 in tall and weighs 100 lb, but she thinks she is overweight.

By Academic Wizard Blog

IT Audit Policy and Plans

Download the attached detailed assignment description for this project. You should also review the rubric shown below for additional information about the requirements for the project and how your work will be graded. Please make sure that you use both the assignment description file AND the rubric when completing your work.

IT Audit Policy and Plans

Company Background & Operating Environment

Red Clay Renovations is an internationally recognized, awarding winning firm that specializes in the renovation and rehabilitation of residential buildings and dwellings. The company specializes in updating homes using “smart home” and “Internet of Things” technologies while maintaining period correct architectural characteristics. Please refer to the company profile (for additional background information and information about the company’s operating environment.

IT Audit Policy and Plans

Policy Issue & Plan of Action

The corporate board was recently briefed by the Chief Information Officer concerning the company’s IT Security Program and how this program contributes to the company’s risk management strategy. During the briefing, the CIO presented assessment reports and audit findings from IT security audits. These audits focused upon the technical infrastructure and the effectiveness and efficiency of the company’s implementation of security controls. During the discussion period, members of the corporate board asked about audits of policy compliance and assessments as to the degree that employees were (a) aware of IT security policies and (b) complying with these policies. The Chief Information Officer was tasked with providing the following items to the board before its next quarterly meeting:

IT Audit Policy and Plans

Issue Specific Policy requiring an annual compliance audit for IT security policies as documented in the company’s Policy System
Audit Plan for assessing employee awareness of and compliance with IT security policies
1. Are employees aware of the IT security policies in the Employee Handbook?
2. Do employees know their responsibilities under those policies?
Audit Plan for assessing the IT security policy system
1. Do required policies exist?
2. Have they been updated within the past year?
3. Are the policies being reviewed and approved by the appropriate oversight authorities (managers, IT governance board, etc.)?

Your Task Assignment

As a staff member supporting the CISO, you have been asked to research this issue (auditing IT security policy compliance) and then prepare an “approval draft” for a compliance policy. You must also research and draft two separate audit plans (a) employee compliance and (b) policy system audit. The audit policy should not exceed two typed pages in length so you will need to be concise in your writing and only include the most important elements for the policy. Make sure that you include a requirement for an assessment report to be provided to company management and the corporate board of directors.

IT Audit Policy and Plans

For the employee compliance assessment, you must use an interview strategy which includes 10 or more multiple choice questions that can be used to construct a web-based survey of all employees. The questions should be split between (a) awareness of key policies and (b) awareness of personal responsibilities in regards to compliance.
For the policy system audit, you should use a documentation assessment strategy which reviews the contents of the individual policies to determine when the policy was last updated, who “owns” the policy, who reviewed the policy, and who approved the policy for implementation.

Research:

Review the table of contents and relevant chapters in the Certified Information Privacy Professional textbook to find information about legal and regulatory drivers.
Review the weekly readings including the example audit assessment report.
Review work completed previously in this course which provides background about the IT Policy System and specific policies for the case study company.
Find additional resources which discuss IT compliance audits and/or policy system audits.

Write:

Prepare briefing package with approval drafts of the three required documents. Place all three documents in a single MS Word (.doc or .docx) files.,
Your briefing package must contain the following:

Executive Summary
“Approval Drafts” for
- Issue Specific Policy for IT Security Policy Compliance Audits,
- Audit Plan for IT Security Policy Awareness & Compliance (Employee Survey),
- Audit Plan for IT Security Policies Audit (Documentation Review),

As you write your policy and audit plans, make sure that you address security issues using standard cybersecurity terminology.,

Use a professional format for your policy documents and briefing package. Your policy documents should be consistently formatted and easy to read.,
You must include a cover page with the assignment title your name and the due date. Your reference list must be on a separate page at the end of your file. These pages do not count towards the assignment’s page count.,
Common phrases do not require citations. If there is doubt as to whether or not information requires attribution provide a footnote with publication information or use APA format citations and references.

CSIA 413: Cybersecurity Policy, Plans, and Programs

You are expected to write grammatically correct English in every assignment that you submit for grading. Do not turn in any work without (a) using spell check, (b) using grammar check, (c) verifying that your punctuation is correct and (d) reviewing your work for correct word usage and correctly structured sentences and paragraphs.
Consult the grading rubric for specific content and formatting requirements for this assignment.
Submit your briefing package in MS Word format (docx or .doc file) for grading using your assignment folder. (Attach the file.)
