Assignment Content
- Purpose
This assignment is intended to give you an opportunity to strengthen your skills in gathering and analyzing business-related information. It provides a deeper understanding of how companies can look at globalization as part of their strategic and operational plans. The assignment has two parts: one focused on information research and analysis, and the other is on applied analytics.Resources:
- Microsoft Excel
- “” from Harvard Business Review
- Part 1: Globalization and Information Research
Context:Companies that perform well in their country of origin usually consider expanding operations in new international markets. Deciding where, how, and when to expand is not an easy task, though.Many issues need to be considered before crafting an expansion strategy and investing significant resources to this end, including:
- the level of demand to be expected for the companys products/services
- presence of local competitors
- the regulatory, economic, demographic, and political environments
- Carefully researching and analyzing these and other factors can help mitigate the inherent risk associated with an overseas expansion strategy, thus increasing the likelihood of success.
As a data analyst in your companys business development department, youve been tasked with the responsibility of recommending countries for international expansion. Youll write a report to the companys executive team with your research, analysis, and recommendations.
Instructions:
Write a 525-word summary covering the following items: - According to the article listed above, what were the most important strategic moves that propelled Netflixs successful international expansion?
- The article mentions investments in big data and analytics as one of the elements accompanying the second phase of overseas expansion. Why was this investment important? What type of information did Netflix derive from the data collected?
- According to the article, what is exponential globalization?
- Not all international expansion strategies are a resounding success, however. Research an article or video that discusses an instance in which an American companys expansion efforts in another country failed. According to the article/video you selected, what were the main reasons for this failure? Do you agree with this assessment?
- Explain some of the reasons why certain companies expansion plans have failed in the past.
- Part 2: Hypothesis testing
Context:Your organization is evaluating the quality of its call center operations. One of the most important metrics in a call center is Time in Queue (TiQ), which is the time a customer has to wait before he/she is serviced by a Customer Service Representative (CSR). If a customer has to wait for too long, he/she is more likely to get discouraged and hang up. Furthermore, customers who have to wait too long in the queue typically report a negative overall experience with the call. Youve conducted an exhaustive literature review and found that the average TiQ in your industry is 2.5 minutes (150 seconds).Another important metric is Service Time (ST), also known as Handle Time, which is the time a CSR spends servicing the customer. CSRs with more experience and deeper knowledge tend to resolve customer calls faster. Companies can improve average ST by providing more training to their CSRs or even by channeling calls according to area of expertise. Last month your company had an average ST of approximately 3.5 minutes (210 seconds). In an effort to improve this metric, the company has implemented a new protocol that channels calls to CSRs based on area of expertise. The new protocol (PE) is being tested side-by-side with the traditional (PT) protocol.
Instructions:
Access the file. Each row in the database corresponds to a different call. The column variables are as follows: - ProtocolType: indicates protocol type, either PT or PE
- QueueTime: Time in Queue, in seconds
- ServiceTime: Service Time, in seconds
- Perform a test of hypothesis to determine whether the average TiQ is lower than the industry standard of 2.5 minutes (150 seconds). Use a significance level of =0.05.
- Evaluate if the company should allocate more resources to improve its average TiQ.
- Perform a test of hypothesis to determine whether the average ST with service protocol PE is lower than with the PT protocol. Use a significance level of =0.05.
- Assess if the new protocol served its purpose. (Hint: this should be a test of means for 2 independent groups.)
- Submit your calculations and a 175-word summary of your conclusions.
create a slide for each of your top 5 strengths with the following 3 pieces of information in each slide of the 5 slides.

The Federal Reserve System was established to provide a stable monetary system for the entire economy. The Federal Reserve Bank (the Fed) has three major tools to control the money supply: 1) reserve requirements, 2) discount window for loans to member banks, and 3) open market operations.
When the economy is in a recessionary mode, what will likely be the actions by the Federal Reserve using monetary policy? Suppose the Federal Reserve purchases a $100,000 bond from John Doe, who deposits the proceeds in the Manufacturer’s National Bank; what will be the impact of this transaction on the supply of money?
How do each of the Fed’s tools work? What is the fractional reserve system, and how does it work in relation to the Fed? Review the Federal Reserve System and how the Fed alters the monetary base to achieve the levels of money supply in the economy.
Week 6 – Final Project
Brain-Based Instructional Plan
In this final project, you will apply specific brain research-based strategies to a content- and age/grade-specific instructional plan of your own design. You will then reflect on how the selected strategies support learner engagement, motivation, and success.
Instructions
This Final Project synthesizes learning into an original, brain research-based instructional plan. There are two parts to this assignment: Part One: Instructional Plan and Part Two: Reflection.
Jensen purports that brain-based lesson planning does not follow a templatemainly because the basic premise of brain-based learning is that every brain is unique, so a one-size-fits-all approach does not work (2014, p.214). However, your learning is still developing and for the purpose of this Final Project, an utilizing the seven stages of brain-based planning derived from Jensens work will be utilized to construct your plan. Keep in mind this is a SINGLE lesson, not an entire unit of instruction.
Prepare
- Review the Weekly Lesson, discussions, and completed assignments for all six weeks of the course also serve as a strong source of support to inform your work.
- Use the as a guide.
Content Instructions
Part I: Instructional Plan (The provided template must be used).
- Template: Plan must be structured using the provided easy-to-read template. Plan should not be in essay format.
- Lesson Overview: Include the subject, age/grade level (e.g., P-12, post-secondary, adults, etc.) and duration of lesson. Lesson should be between 30 and no more than 90 minutes in length.

- Objective(s): Include no more than two specific, measurable, student-centered objectives that align with your standard(s).
- Learning Stages: Label each of the seven stages of brain-based planning. Include the equivalent stages of Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) as a cross-reference (i.e., Stage 2: Preparation /Anticipatory Set). All stages of GRR should be represented within the seven brain-based stages.
- Lesson Examples/Illustrations: Describe specific instruction, modeling, learner activities, and assessments that correspond with each learning stage.
Part II: Reflection (Added to the bottom of the template following Part 1).
- Share what critical questions you asked yourself as you planned learning with the brain in mind.
- Describe how brain research-based strategies support teaching, learning, and quality curriculum and instructional design.
- Discuss what elements of your instructional plan serve as a means of motivation for learners.
