Business Analytics-Assignment 2: Comparative Analysis
Assignment 2: Comparative Analysis
Length: The word limit it would be 2500 words. Each Table or Figure is counted as 50 words + the number of words in its caption. The words in summary report are counted but the words in the table of content are not counted.
| Weight | Criterion | Details |
| 2 marks | Company Information | Detailed background information of the company including size, business type, areas of operations, competitors etc. If you have collected the data from the websites and you don’t know the company information, you can discuss here who can benefit from your analysis and who can use your analysis in decision making. |
| 5 marks | Identify the problem | Clearly explain the problem and assumptions. Clarity and comprehensiveness of the problem identification and relevance of business analytics should be addressed. You need to explain what are your focus and aims of your analyses and clearly state why the analyses that you are doing are important. |
| 5 marks | Literature review | Detailed information about the chosen topic using journal articles, books etc. Why is this topic chosen? Current status of the topic in the selected company. Here you can look for some articles related to your problem to further discuss the problem or techniques to see how other people used business analytics to address similar problems. For example if you are looking at predicting the number of passengers for an airline, you can search in published articles to see how others used analytical methods for doing prediction of number of passengers. |
| 4 marks | Data Collection | The comprehensiveness of the data collected for the project analysis. You are required to collect real data for the chosen topic. Students should use different resources for collecting data: internet, company reports, etc. You can collect the data from the organisation or company that you know or you can search to find some data online. |
| 9 marks | Analysis and Discussion | Show all analysis based on the collected data. Compare the current situation and your findings. Here make sure you use the techniques and principles that you learned in our course correctly. To compare with the current situation, you may discuss if your analysis is not used in decision making what would be the consequence (therefore, here you need to show the impact of your analysis). You can apply one or multiple techniques that we had in business analytics course. |
| 4 marks | Recommendations | Discuss the practical implications of the solution and how to improve the overall performance. Here you need to provide some recommendations based on your analyses and explain how your analyses can improve the decision making and performance. |
| 6 marks | Overall presentation of the assignment | Clarity of presentation and the sequence of the topics, including: •Correct referencing (not including in word count limitations) • Executive summary • Table of contents (not including in word count limitations) • List of figures/tables (not including in word count limitations) • Page numbering • Cover sheet (not including in word count limitations) • Appendix (if any) |
| 35 Marks Total | ||
Details: Your Word document is your report and the excel file would be a supportive document, and you may refer to that in the Word document for further details.
For this assignment you are required to study the business analytics practices of a real company or organisation. You can choose any of the discussed areas in this course.
: Business Finance – Accounting
Part 1: Creating an Event
- Develop the event. Explain how it aligns with the firm’s mission with a definable target audience.
- Describe how you will link the image of the firm and the event. Keep in mind that people attend events mainly because of a connection with the theme or topic, not because of the sponsoring organization.
- Create a presence so that the firm’s message and sponsorship will be remembered.
- Provide a souvenir so that people will remember your event and company.
Part 1 of the Individual Project should be 3 pages in length.
Part 2: Notifying Connectors
- Notify connectors before the event. Create a 1-page pitch to the media.
- Write a 1-page recap of the event with quotes of attendees.
Part 2 of the Individual Project should be 2 pages in length.
Nonverbal Communication
Describe a scenario in which a person’s nonverbal language says something quite different from the same person’s verbal language. In doing so, be sure to address how non-verbal communication differs from verbal communication. Describe how the speaker’s message differs depending on the following elements of delivery: voice, volume, pitch, rate, pauses, variety, pronunciation, articulation, and dialect.
NOTE: You may conduct research to complete any of these discussions (if you are still waiting on the book), using the Internet or other resources. Be certain to properly cite your sources and provide a bibliography in appropriate format. This information is also addressed in this week’s audio lessons.
Remember that your discussion response must include the following:
1. A reflection on the concept we are discussing. Give us a summary of things you learned about this concept from your assigned chapter readings.
2. A thorough example/discussion to support your reflection.
3. A final statement that tells us what you take away from this week’s lesson.
4. Properly formatted in-text citations and references.
5. Strong grammar, spelling, and mechanics.
6. In total your discussion should be at least 250 words.
7. The Art of Public Speaking(Stephan E Lucas)
HN501 Unit 5 DBP-Sociology
HN501: Cognitive Development and Friendships DBP
After you have completed the Reading, and watched the videos on cognitive development and friendships in middle childhood on pages 206 and 231, post your initial response to the following questions and statements.
1. Using the video on cognitive development in middle childhood, compare what Piaget and neoPiagetians, would say about the cognitive development occurring in the video.
2. Explain some of the cognitive changes that occur during middle childhood. Were any of them present in the video? In your answer, assess the cognitive changes in the context of school and academic achievement.
3. After watching the video related to friendships in middle childhood, conclude how theorists, such as Sullivan and Selman, would explain the concepts being discussed in the video. Identify the stage of development this child is in according to Selman, and some of the details related to social cognition in this stage. Are there other features of social cognition in middle childhood that were not discussed in the video?

Assignment 2: Proposal
Propose an IT Infrastructure Design Solution for iTech Company
Date due:
Type:
Week 10
Individual assignment
Weighting: 40%
Rationale Practical exercises assess students’ ability to apply theoretical learning to practical, real world
situations. This is Individual assignment that each student must design and configure an IT
infrastructure solution for a small organization.
A hard copy report of approximately 2500 must be provided to present your proposed ideas.
The report must satisfy the following specific criteria:
1. Demonstrate ability to plan, locate information using the Internet, organisations and
publications and analyse this information.
2. Demonstrate knowledge of IT Infrastructure and design a network using building-
block approach.
3. Simulate and configure network devices as one step towards network implementation
and testing.
4. Demonstrate the ability to determine cloud base services that suit enterprise
requirements.
Case Study A software development company, iTech has a 900-computer network. The company is
located in three adjacent five-story buildings in an office park, with about 300 computers in
each building. The LAN in each building are similar, but one building- data centre building
(DCB) has data centre on the second floor. The data centre provides web and email services
to the enterprise employee. In addition, it provides dynamic IP assign, share file and DNS
services. The domain name of the company is: www. iTech.org.au. The current network is
poorly designed for its current needs and must be completely replaced.
The head officer of the IT department wants to get two design proposal of the new network.
The first design considers the dedicated server techniques by hosting all the iTech servers
within its buildings. While the Cloud hosting to be considered in the second design.
Develop a logical design for the DCB of this enterprise campus. Your design must
demonstrate a detail logical design based on three-layers hierarchal model. The design should
include the set of required servers, network devices, and connection with justification and
