Imagine that the CIO has been impressed with your past performance and has
promoted you to database administrator. Your first project is to create a
data warehouse project plan that will merge five (5) disparate operational
data sources into a common warehouse and associated data marts. The project
plan will address the technical design for the future implementation of the
data warehouse. Your company has realized that there is a great amount of
data within the company's disparate data sources and a data warehouse with a
robust interface is needed to provide quality information. You approach the
project plan with the understanding that a data warehouse is a system that:
.Gathers data from three (3) internal organizational systems and two (2)
external sources..
.Combines the data into one database..
.Manipulates and conforms it to common and organizational standards..
.Restructures it for easy exploration, reporting, and data mining..

Using your knowledge of requirements gatherings, architectural framework,
the ETL system, and testing methodologies for data warehouse projects,
develop a project plan which details the implementation concepts and
strategy that will lead to a successfully deployed data warehouse.

Project, Dia, or OpenOffice to complete the following. Note: The graphically
depicted solution may not exceed five (5) pages toward the required page
length. Ensure that each depiction has a written explanation that explains
the illustration.

a. Construct the business and technical metadata that would be necessary for
the data warehouse.
b. Create a schema for the data warehouse.
c. Construct the necessary fact table(s) and dimensional table(s).
d. Illustrate the flow of data including both inputs and outputs for the
data warehouse.
4. Recommend and justify a business intelligence (BI) solution; then, depict
the probable dashboard needed by expert users.
5. Use at least five (5) quality resources in this assignment. Note:
Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has almost a “personality cult” organizational culture which essentially revolves around one man and his investing prowess. The man’s name is Warren Buffett, the “Oracle of Omaha.” Historically, Berkshire Hathaway’s business model has been to purchase insurance companies. One great thing about insurance companies is the “cash float,” which works as follows. Suppose that a person purchases a $100,000 whole life insurance policy from Berkshire Hathaway and pays premiums of $4,000 per year to Berkshire for this policy. The Berkshire Hathaway company is obligated to pay the $100,000 death benefit when the person dies; in the meantime it gets to invest the $4,000 per year “float.” Warren Buffett, who has been a very savvy investor, has made a huge fortune from investing this float money. But recently, Berkshire Hathaway has been moving away from purchasing insurance companies with large floats and has been buying major industrial businesses instead. In 2010, for example, it completed a $44 billion purchase of one of the nation’s largest railroads, Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF). Berkshire paid for this acquisition with $15.8 billion in cash it had on hand, and the remainder in Berkshire Hathaway stock. Mr. Buffett, who was born in 1930, is now well beyond the age when most workers retire.

For this activity, answer:

How does Mr. Buffett’s age affect Berkshire Hathaway’s recent strategic moves such as buying Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad instead of another large insurance company?
What does Berkshire Hathaway’s purchase of BNSF Railroad say about where Buffett thinks the price of energy (oil and gasoline) is going to be in the future?
How does the energy efficiency of shipping goods via rail compare with shipping goods via truck or airplane?

Unit 4 Project Description
Objective: BU 615 Marketing Midterm Project: See review details and begin to prepare.

Purpose: For the assignment, you are to write an academic paper entitled: “The Development of Marketing and the Marketing Process.” You are to provide an overview of the concept of marketing from the early stages to current marketing initiatives, strategies, processes, and trends. You are to fully support the paper with extensive research and text material.
Description: This is an academic assignment and authoritative sources are required and should be retrieved through the University’s research library. Web sources such as e-how, Wikipedia, or personal blogs are not acceptable. You are expected to discuss the concepts of marketing in a way that demonstrates graduate-level critical thinking skill, extensive analysis, and evaluation of current research.

A common approach for assessing an organization’s structure is examining organic and mechanistic characteristics. This assessment tool has been used by researchers and others who study organizational behavior. (Dust, Resick, & Mawritz, 2014). Thinking about your current organization or an organization familiar to you, assess its current structure based on the mechanistic and organic approach. Create an organizational diagram that accurately depicts the current organizational structure (using PowerPoint or another drawing tool). On a scale of 1 to 10, rate your perception of the following characteristics:

• Mechanistic vs. Organic
• Task Role: Rigid or Flexible
• Communication: Vertical or Multidirectional
• Decision Making: Centralized or Decentralized
• Sensitivity to Environment: Closed or Open

After completing your analysis, prepare a brief summary analyzing your results and determine whether you were surprised by your responses. Support your response with examples. Then, identify which aspects of your organization’s structure you would change. Create an updated organizational chart that accurately depicts the new organizational structure and explain why and how this new design reflects an improvement of the organization’s ability to meet its goals. End your paper by explaining how management might assess whether the proposed new organizational structure is working as intended after 6-12 months. What key performance indicators would you measure and why?

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 4-5 pages, not including title and reference pages

Read Chapter 12—How to Detect Media Bias and Propaganda in National and World News.

Clearly identify the author, title of article, and the name of publication. Take notice of the type of article: local, national or international news story, editorial, or column, for example.
Identify the main claim and supporting reasons or premises of your article.
Analyze the logic of the article according to the critical analysis tools we have been studying throughout the course, including identifying fallacies and rhetorical devices. Try looking deeper into the news coverage to discern the significant information that is omitted, and if the evidence is viable. Discern the logic of the arguments in each specific news article. Be alert to determine if there are rival causes and if the evidence is deceptive. Consider what significant information is omitted or if other reasonable conclusions are possible.
Sources and Citations: In addition to the two news articles, find and cite two scholarly sources to back up the claims and conclusions of your analyses. Feel free to use the readings from the course. The CSU-Global Library is another good place to find your sources. Remember to include all the sources that you used, including the newspaper articles, in an APA-formatted reference page.
