Making Data Driven Decisions

Overview

To make sense of all the data available to them, business leaders work alongside data scientists who generate data visualizations to understand business questions via analytics. This process gives companies insight on what is working and what is not: for example, whether the products or services offered are meeting expectations, or if a shift in strategy is necessary.

Prompt

For this assignment, you will take on the role of a business leader who wishes to analyze if a new product their company has introduced is meeting the expectations. Imagine that you would like to create a post in the company intranet that summarizes your findings in an easy-to-read format for your team. Pay special attention to creating meaningful data visualizations. You should use techniques that make content easy to follow but that also display charts accurately without distorting or skewing data. Your company’s profit goal is 25% of the cost of goods sold (COGS). Remember, COGS is the cost of manufacturing the product, including labor, materials, and overhead. You will need to build trust and an open channel of communication with other leaders on your team. Pay close attention to the story that data visualizations tell you and others reviewing your post.

The purpose of this analysis is to better understand the cost, revenue, and profit associated with the new product launch. Review the Cost, Revenue, and Profit Spreadsheet retrieved from the company’s data center and consider the following while developing your ideas in this assignment.

  • What is the importance of data analysis?
  • What are the results of your analysis?
  • Think about your analysis and its findings, including visuals. Use visuals and text to re-state the purpose of your analysis and summarize your most important findings.
    • What are you trying to represent with this data?
    • What kind of graphic have you selected and why?
  • How did adding visual representations of the data change your analysis?
    • Does the target audience influence the way you display information?

Sephora Retailing for Success

Topic: Sephora Retailing for Success

Sephora is a French cosmetic retailer that began its American ventures with free trials at their store locations. The “try before you buy” concept is popular among most female customers, leading Sephora to succeed in the traditional retail industry. Now that we are in the digital age, consumers make many purchases online rather than going to physical stores. After reading Chapters 14 and 15 from Babin & Harris, watch the Sephora Retailing for Success video and respond to the following:

Visit the Sephora website and browse the online store. How does Sephora use the online environment to promote its products without the advantage of letting the customers try before they buy?
Imagine that Sephora is working out the details of a new loyalty program. What input and advice would you give them? How should they integrate the loyalty program with their existing retailing mix?
What are the cognitive and affective components that may shape postconsumption behavior for Sephora’s customers?
What is 1 way that a firm can respond to negative WOM or publicity? How does this response align with or contradict a biblical worldview?

Walmart is a good organization to examine.

Your paper requires work.

Apply APA Style formatting to every area of the paper.

Your introduction needs to be shortened to half a page.

What do you mean by data collection? This is not data collection. Remove this heading. Remove, all words pertaining to:  my, me, I etc.

What are you trying to state in pages 6 -11? I am not following. The content presented is disorganized. You need to insert headings and sub headings to organize the content.

Your Organizational Relationship section requires more detail.

What is the difference between Organizational Relationships and Organizational Stakeholders? You seem to be repeating certain components of this paper. Decide which of the two you want to address in this paper and remove the other.

There are quite a few arguments and perspectives that are not supported with citations, please address these throughout the paper – just to list a few:

“Walmart is one of the multinational retailing corporation located in the United States. The corporation functions as a chain of grocery store, hypermarket and discount department store. The firm was founded in 1962 by Sam Walton and officially incorporated in October 1969. Moreover, the firm engages in the operation of retail, wholesale and other sections all over the world. It’s the largest world organization by revenue whereby it approximately generated four hundred and eighty billion dollars in 2016. The corporation has eleven thousand six hundred and ninety-five stores all over the world. The main products sold by the corporation include electronics, home and furniture, music, clothing, foot wear, toys, jewelry, sporting goods and fitness, health and beauty, grocery, photo finishing and craft supply”

“Additionally, the firm has the following division. Walmart U.S, Walmart international and Sam’s cub global e-commerce. The firm investment outside North America has met mixed reaction. It has highly succeeded in some parts especially in the United Kingdom, china, and South America though it has failed in Germany and South Korea. Furthermore, the firm operates in major cities over the world, and it has established subsidiaries in the following countries Canada, Mexico, Chiles, Central America and many others.”

“The firm mostly operates online where the customer purchases Walmart products through the online platform. The corporation, therefore, has so many computers that are located in every department. The wife routers also help to connect to the internet easily and therefore the wifi connection equipment are provided in most departments.

Walmart is a corporation that is licensed by the government and operates legally, and thus it has policies and guidelines, which ensure the firm operates ethically and does not violate the rule of law. The firm also protects the customers from harmful products and other living organisms. Sam’s club and Walmart are committed to ensuring they provide the customers with affordable, safe and sustainable food products and promoting human treatment of animals. The firm has improved tracking and audit program for pork chain supply, and the suppliers must meet the program requirements. The firm has developed mineral conflict program that guides on how the firm will operate in mineral product business and the products without violating the human rights especially to Democratic Republic of Congo citizens. The program will guide the electronic suppliers so as to avoid illegal business and thus maintain the corporation image.”

“Walmart is a very prominent firm in the world, which distributes different products to the clients in markets. The firm faces very stiff competition from other firms that are almost similar with Walmart organization. Germany grocer Lidl is one of the competitors giving Walmart challenge. Despite these stiff competitions, Walmart brand image has enabled it to perform well in the market, and many consumers still prefer products from the Walmart. Additionally, the firm is known to provide quality products that meet customers’ needs and therefore the firm has achieved to have loyal clients who they depend on and target all the time especially when they produce a new product. The best planning, financial management, marketing and customer care are some of the determinants that affect the competitive competition in the local market.

The Walmart competitive advantage depends on cost leadership. The firm is committed to ensure that the customer purchases products at the affordable prize and improve the lifestyle of the customer. The firm has also introduced business strategy in the following directions. One of the strategies is improving groceries. Walmart attempts to increase its fresh range produce and organic options. Additionally, the firm has also enhanced the flexibility of the shopping experience, which works to integrate its physical stores with the digital business.”

“Tesco Corporation is a British multinational retailer, grocery stores and general merchandise retailer. It has presence in 11 countries and records a revenue of about $67 billion annually. The grocery store is the major brand of this organization and this is why it is a threat to Walmart stores as that is the brand it is struggling to establish. It is important to note that most consumers do not shop in one store, they tend to think that this store is good for this thing and the other one is good for that other thing. In this case, shopper will shop at Walmart but when they need groceries they will go to Tesco and this has undermined the profit levels in the United Kingdom market and countries where Tesco has a strong presence.”
