Assignment 2: Case Study—Jobs that Literally Make People Sick

Writing Assignment

Read the case under HR Oops! (in Chapter 4 of your textbook).

 

HR Oops!

Workers Often Lack Resources to Do Their Jobs

Work flow analysis spells out the human and other resources needed for carrying out well-defined tasks that will meet objectives. Success requires the right people with access to resources including equipment and information. However, research suggests that some of these inputs may be missing at many organizations.

In a survey of more than 500 U.S. workers in different industries, AtTask, a maker of project management software, found that large numbers of workers are struggling to meet objectives on time—if they even know what their objectives are. According to AtTask, 60% of the workers said they are completely overwhelmed or barely meeting deadlines.

Responses to other questions in the survey point to some possible causes. One-third of the workers said they are unable to turn in assignments on time because some resources they need are not available. Even more (about 50%) say their organizations do not have enough people to get all the necessary tasks finished unless people work overtime. More than a third of them say they are only somewhat, a little, or not clear about desired outputs—how their work is measured or how their supervisor defines success.

Questions

  1. What consequences might an organization expect to result from the conditions described by the AtTask survey?
  2. How might an organization use work flow analysis to prevent some of these problems?

Identify 10 fundamental principles from the prescribed weekly readings.

For this assignment, you will need to become familiar with specialized business intelligence (BI) software, then download the software. Complete the following steps to begin:

  • Step 1: Watch an instructional video on the BI software.
  • Step 2: Review various BI Software options including Tableau; Excel or other Business Intelligence. Search the CTU Library and the internet to learn about optional software.
  • Step 3: If you choose Tableau, download the Tableau BI software. After you select the link, look for the orange icon in the middle portion of your screen to begin the download or use any Business Intelligence software to create at least 2 graphs illustrating at least 2 comparisons between the US and zip code data.

Consider the following scenario, continued from the Unit 1 Individual Project:

Big D Incorporated needs to prepare an assessment regarding the feasibility of making a recommendation for expansion into another market. As the Business Analyst, your assignment is to prepare a short presentation for the Board of Directors that apply concepts learned in Unit 1 and concepts from Unit 2 to make the necessary recommendations and justifications for those recommendations. You will need to compare and contrast the varying markets in order to make the best recommendation possible. Complete the following:

  • Click here to download the reports for the United States. The Web site provides free demographical services where one can choose from a variety of criteria and generate reports based on the U.S. Census data. This particular file contains 4 reports: General Summary, Census Trend 1980 to 2000 Summary, Occupation and Employment Summary, and Income Summary based on the entire United States.
  • Click here to download the reports for zip code 60614. This particular file contains 4 reports: General Summary, Census Trend 1980 to 2000 Summary, Occupation and Employment Summary, and Income Summary based on the U.S. zip code 60614.
  • Using all 4 demographic reports (General Summary, Census Trend 1980 to 2000 Summary, Occupation and Employment Summary, and Income Summary) for the United States and zip code 60614, prepare a 1-page memo explaining how your territory differs from the national profile. Feel free to note anything that you found surprising in this data.
  • Use the business intelligence software you choose to depict information from these reports.
  • Prepare a presentation of 5–6 slides of your major findings. You may group a category of data from the Total United States and zip code 60614, and create a graph to show how they differ. The presentation should have at least two graphs and a headline that summarizes a key takeaway from the graph. The last page should contain at least 3 questions that you would want answered based on what you’ve seen in this comparison.

Your presentation should include 5–6 slides in PowerPoint, plus title and reference slides with speaker notes (200–250 words per slide).

For assistance with the usage of Tableau for analysis and reporting, review and use the following instructions. This should be helpful if you are having problems with the software usage or with problems with the data.  But, you do not need to use Tableau. For BI software usage such as Excel, resort to using the Help functions and other resources on the internet and in videos to learn how to use Excel to create graphical presentations including table usage.

Instructions to Create Bar Graph in Tableau (optional) or in another BI Software.

  1. Open the assignment CTU instructions.
  2. Download Business Intelligence Software.
  3. Create your Tableau Public Account.
  4. Click the download link for the zip code (60614) file (file will open in Excel).
  5. Click the download link for the US file (file will open in Excel).
  6. The following are some options:
    1. Create separate demographical worksheets. For example: Education Attainment File  – Worksheet (include both Zip Code and U.S. data); Household Income (include Zip Code and U.S. data)
      • See a sample of the file available with column headings and extraneous blanks.

  3. Image 3 courtesy of: Forbes magazine April 9, 2012 Issue

  4. Image 4 courtesy of: National Geographic magazine June/July 2015 Issue

In a 2-3-page APA formatted paper with an additional reference page (template here), analyze the strategic use of sensory visuals:

  1. Analyze the use of color; address how it attracts the eye of the targeted audience. How might the targeted audience interpret the color and emotionally respond?
  2. Analyze the use of lines; address how it directs the eyes of the viewers. Which types of lines are used? How might the targeted audience interpret the line usage and emotionally respond?
  3. Analyze the use of contrast and balance; address how it attracts the eye of the targeted audience. How might the targeted audience emotionally respond to the visual balance and contrast? What if the contrast and balance elements were not there or were different? How would that change the viewer response?

Support the items above by including relevant quotes and paraphrases from academic/scholarly sources.

Be sure to clearly address how these four visual sensory elements attract the eyes of a specific target audience more readily than other audiences. For a thorough analysis, always consider the effect on viewers if these four visuals were used differently or not used at all.
