The case investigates DFGs existing business systems and processes and looks at the possibilities of gaining competitive advantage either by way of acquiring state of the art systems and technical infrastructure or through radical re-design of its critical business processes supported by technology. From your observation, identify how IT Enterprise Architecture was used in this case, how effective was it, what else could have been done and what are some of the lessons learned. Your written report should be 3 pages (New Times Roman, double space, font size 12, and normal margins). Cite resources within the paper and attach a list of references at the end. I expect you to use published resources as well as the Internet, posted additional resources and the books. Based on your findings from Case Study 2 and using any of the various frameworks, tools, models, maps, techniques, standards, visualizations discussed in class, in the books or found elsewhere, pick a service, technology or process that had issues or something they were not using but could been used. Please create a one page diagram outlining what could have been done instead and a brief explanation of what is diagrammed.

Topic will focus on within the database and knowledge management domain. This proposal should intrigue your audience and be research worthy. It could include a completely new topic derived from the readings and research. Title Page Title: The title of your work should be concise and describe what your research will entail. Background This section should provide enough information so that the reader understands the general context, settings, and basis for the proposed research. A non-expert may read the proposal, so ensure there is sufficient framing and discussion of the underlying concepts. Problem Statement This section should focus on the presentation of a literature-supported open research question or problem that must be addressed. Additional areas should include detailed discussions of its scope, nature, what the problem is, how it developed or evolved into a problem, why it is a problem, and a brief discussion as to the other works that establish it as a problem within the literature. Goal This section provides a concise definition of the goal of the study, what it will accomplish, and how it will be measured. That is, how you will define success and failure of the study (if applicable)? Relevance and Significance This section provides additional support for the problem statement and goal by discussing why the problem exists, who is affected by it, and the impact of the problem. Additionally, discuss the study’s significance and how its outcomes will address the stated problem. Literature Review This section will focus on clearly identifying the major areas that the research will focus on to establish a foundation of the study within the body of knowledge. The presentation of literature is an expansion of an annotated bibliography that justifies the problem, hypothesis, impact, and significance of the study. Approach A detailed explanation of how the study will be undertaken and how the goal will be achieved. This should take the form of a discussion of the methodology used, each step and milestone, with an explanation of each. Ensure that the approach is supported by the literature, as it cannot be based solely on opinion or experience. References Support your paper with scholarly and industry resources.

Note: Treasure Star Group (TS Group) case study will be a consistent reference throughout this course. The Treasure Star Group, or TS Group, manufactures and distributes food and household products. From its Hong Kong headquarters, the TS Group markets many popular brands of edible oil and home cleaning products. The TS Group has several subsidiary manufacturing and sales operations in China, where it has the largest foreign-owned flour processing business in the country. When you read the case study, note how the TS Group implemented an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Although the TS Group performed many of the strategy phase activities, they did not study the impact of the ERP system on their processes, nor did they identify all of the stakeholders. Your discussion this week will focus on these omissions. To prepare, read the entire TS Group case study, found in the Lee & Lau article in this week’s Learning Resources. Post by Day 3 an analysis of how one of the omissions helped lead to some part of the project’s outcome. Respond by Day 7 to two or more of your colleagues’ postings in one or more of the following ways: Ask a probing question. Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting. Offer and support an opinion. Validate an idea with your own experience. Make a suggestion. Expand on your colleague’s posting. Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made. see below. Reading Resource . Jeston, J. (2018).

Write a three-section paper, plus an introduction, conclusion, and reference section, on using various frameworks for managing data analytic projects given a particular point of view. Each section will address the needs and recommendations for a particular viewpoint. The points of view are from that of 1) data analytics professionals (i.e. those doing the work), 2) business managers (who may be ignorant of how to do data analytics), and 3) customers (whose needs can be unique). Express the business and project needs of each and how different data analytic project frameworks and/or processes work to fulfill each need. In particular, address the following, The project and business needs of each viewpoint (up to 5 for each) The pros and cons of different frameworks and/or processes for each need The trade-offs between the different recommendations made Variations in recommendations based on project characteristics (i.e. consider how different project characteristics (goals, size, etc.) affect recommendations). The Conclusion section should summarize, as well as compare and contrast the recommendations. Examples of business and project needs (no particular order or grouping) are: user invonlvement, transparency, aspects of communication, data security, data privacy, work accommodations, participation facilitatio, dispersed workgroups, cultural differences, regulations, competition, budgetary constraints, and operational issues. This list is not definitive nor exhaustive. The needs you present may or may not include any of these. These are given in support of your consideration. The business and project needs you define for each viewpoint (up to 5 for each) should be well articulated and possibly defined. Quality is of paramount importance for this final paper. Graduate level grammar is expected. Use a 12 Times New Roman; spacing should be 1.5; default, normal margins. Grading: 100 points total. Grammar: 10%. Organization and format: 15%. Articulation and definition of project and business needs: 25%. Recommendation justifications and arguments: 50%. SafeAssign will be used to check for plagiarism. Deductions will be made for plagiarism up to the full grade of the paper. Resources: Please incorporate only resources that pertain to the data analytics and the topic of the paper.

You are required to : a) Write a SAS program to input the supplied spreadsheet data containing student attendance and module marks. Copies of the spreadsheets can be found in blackboard in the Coursework folder of Teaching Material. You will find there is a spreadsheet listing student details and for each of 4 modules, there are several spreadsheets containing attendance data and one spreadsheet (total 4) containing student marks. Create one SAS data set for all the attendance data and one SAS data set for all the student marks. Refer to task 2 to see what data is required. b) The data are required by different people within the organisation. Create SAS output (i.e. reports) for each of the following individuals. You will need to decide on the information to be included in the report(s) to meet the needs of each type of user. a. The Year manager. The year manager has responsibility for individual student welfare and progression. The year tutor needs to be aware of students who are missing classes. This could be consistently missing the same class and/or students missing for more than one week from all classes. Attendance below 70% on a module is considered problematic. The year tutor requires a list of students who are missing classes each week as the registers are created. b. The course leader. The course leader has overall responsibility for a course and its delivery and will require summary statistics on individual modules (attendance and student marks), individual students (attendance and marks) as well as being responsible for calculating the overall mark for each student’s average mark. c. The Department head. The department head has responsibility for monitoring the student experience and the courses offered. This individual will need to carry out more specific analysis. For example: a) To identify modules and students which have above and below average attendance/results. b) To identify associations between achievement and attendance, c) To identify associations between results and student demographics, d) To identify associations between attendance and student demographics. They will also be responsible for setting the policies used by the department, for example: a) in setting an attendance level below which some type of action is required by the year manager (currently 70%). Would a different attendance level help meet the university objective of 50% of students achieving an overall average of 60% over their module marks. b) Identifying when modules are too easy or too hard, c) Identifying when a module has poor attendance. They will also be involved in making strategic decisions such as: a) Is attendance monitoring worthwhile? b) Should students who achieve 39 % in a module be automatically be rounded up to 40%? c) Should an overall attendance level be set? Failure to achieve the level of attendance will result in failing a course overall. Example rules could be: • if students attend below 70% in each module, they fail the attendance requirement • if students have an average attendance for all modules below 70%, they fail the attendance requirement. How many students would be removed from the course with each of these policies? Present your findings in a report, which should state how your SAS reports meet the needs of the specific user types and should include the SAS reports to prove your case. You should also place all your SAS programs in the appendix.
