Current Topic Discussion Guidelines

Students must make a minimum of three substantive contributions on three separate days of the learning week to the management discussion topic using authoritative sources including those found in the KU library. Post your response to the discussion question early in the learning week (no later than Wednesday), and then make a minimum of two other posts Thursday through Sunday. All discussions are weighted equally and should be of high quality and add to the learning. The discussion exercise closes on Sunday except the last week. Late discussions are not accepted.

Week 6 Discussion Questions

Milton Friedman wrote that the goal of any business is the maximization of shareholder wealth. What does this mean? Is this goal necessarily ethical or unethical? Justify your stance with research from experts (using APA citations where appropriate).

If you wish to submit your original post to SafeAssign, you first need to go to Discussions – SafeAssign Checks link on the left navigation panel or Getting Started -> Discussions – SafeAssign Checks (Weeks 1-8). In this link, you have unlimited attempts to upload your original post, return to check your SafeAssign score, fix your post if needed, and resubmit the corrected document by selecting the START NEW button.  Once you press START NEW, you no longer have access to the previous posts or their SafeAssign scores.  So, save those if you need a record to refer to as you make further corrections.

After you have submitted your final version of the original post and you are satisfied with the SafeAssign score and your corrections, copy/paste that same version of the original post to the discussion forum so your classmates and instructor can read it, by following the next steps below.

Remember: WHEN YOU ARE READY TO PLACE YOUR POST IN THE DISCUSSION FORUM AND/OR REPLY TO OTHER THREADS, SELECT THE “WEEK 6 DISCUSSION FORUM” LINK JUST ABOVE.

THEN, IN THE WEEK 6 DISCUSSION FORUM, SELECT THE “REPLY” TO ADD YOUR RESPONSE TO THE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS.

• Project Plan: Project Schedule and Budget (Team Assignment): Develop a realistic project schedule taking into account non-workdays and holidays and a realistic budget (including foreign countries if applicable). Conduct research and use selected industry salaries, wages, costs, etc.  Create the schedule and budget in MS Project or MS Excel and transfer them to the MS Word document. The MS Project /MS Excel file will be turned in with the MS Word document. Format the paper (in MS Word) according to APA in terms of citations and references
• Project Plan: Risk Analysis and Change Control Management (Team Assignment): Develop a risk management plan identifying at least five primary risks that are relevant to the chosen project. Create a risk assessment matrix table in MS Word and quantify the likelihood and probability of the risk occurring, identify the effect of the risk, provide an overall risk assessment score, estimate when the risk could occur, and provide a risk control matrix, also in MS Word, explaining how each risk will be controlled. Then, develop the change control management plan describing how changes to the project scope, timeline, and budget for the chosen project will be requested, reviewed, approved, reported, and communicated. Additionally, identify who will be responsible for managing the change control process, reviewing and approving the change requests, communicating the approved changes to project stakeholders and explain the role of change control management and discuss how changes to the project schedule and project budget will be managed. Format the paper (in MS Word) according to APA in terms of citations and references.You are required to cite any paraphrases, quotations, or support for your opinions/assertions; providing appropriate references on the references page.
• . Format the paper (in MS Word) according to APA in terms of citations and references.

Describe how the confusion matrix is used for model evaluation.

Describe the definition of accuracy, precision, recall, sensitivity, specificity, True positive rate, False positive rate.

Synthesize real-life examples where you would rely on each one of these measures to evaluate prediction, or classification, performance of your model.

What is a Lift chart? Explain in what situations you would use it?

What is ROC chart? Explain in what situations you would use it?

You are encouraged to help each other in understanding Unit Activities and practicing with scripts and answering the questions in the discussion forum.

While you are watching the videos, and while you are reading the required texts, (Book chapter and articles) in “Unit 6: Activities” experiment with scripts and exercises in the Book chapter and the content and/or similar scripts. Practice with R scripts discussed in those resources using the  installed Rstudio on your computer.

Call the libraries you use within every one of your scripts (even if you have called it in your command line) because your professor should be able to run your script on his/her computer. When you use one of the functions from a library, specify the library you are using by ”::“ notation. For example:

Read If a Patient Is Noncompliant, Can the OB/GYN Be at Fault? Then, write a 1-2 page report in which you:

1. Analyze three main points relevant to the case. Consider if there were issues in explaining the injury, and whether the defense proved that the mother was noncompliant with the care recommended by her provider.
2. Argue the case as to why you agree or disagree with the outcome providing three points to support your rationale.
3. In addition to the textbook, provide two sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and valid. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

Risk is inherent to every project. Some risks are more likely to occur than others, and some will have a greater impact to the project if realized. Although you cannot account for every risk, a thorough risk analysis and assessment can help minimize the liabilities of the project and ensure that your projects are successful.

Refer to either Case 7.1 Alaska Fly-Fishing Expedition, 7.2 Silver Fiddle Construction, 7.3 Trans LAN Project, and 7.4 XSU Spring Concert of your text. Each of these cases presents you with a project scope statement for a fictional project. You are to pick 1 of these cases on which to perform a risk analysis. After picking a case of your choice, you should address the following:

• Summarize the project.
• Discuss how the risk management process will be applied.
• Identify potential risks associated with this project (you must come up with at least 5 different risks).
• Use a risk assessment form to analyze identified risks.
• Develop a risk response matrix to outline how you would deal with each of the risks.

In conducting the risk assessment and developing the risk response matrix, you can either develop the risk assessment form and the risk response matrix yourself, you can use the templates provided in your text, or you can use the templates that are embedded in the assignment template for this IP. Your submission should be 5 pages in length. Be sure to cite your sources using APA; include your references and in-text citations.

Use this template to complete this assignment.

Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 5 pages. In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
• Reference page: References that align with your in-body academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hanging indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the paper.
