Assume you are an executive of a large transportation company, and your firm's profit is highly sensitive to fuel cost. The price of gasoline and diesel changes daily, however, your customers expect to be quoted a price for delivery services days, weeks, and sometimes, MONTHS in advance. Therefore, your firm relies heavily on forecasting the price of fuel. Which method of forecasting might you use, qualitative or quantitative? And finally, what are the limitations to business forecasting.

Review the information provided below and answer the questions below.A business researcher is conducting a study to investigate how social media engagement impacts the financial performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality (JMM). The study also aims to determine whether the effect of social media engagement differs between SMEs in the manufacturing and service sectors. The objective is to provide actionable insights for optimising social media strategies to improve financial outcomes for SMEs across these sectors within the JMM. Understanding these dynamics can assist SMEs in tailoring their social media efforts to enhance financial performance and gain a competitive advantage. To measure social media engagement, the researcher used the Social Media Metrics Questionnaire (SMMQ) framework developed by Oeldorf-Hirsch, Sundar, and Liang (2023). The social media engagement rate (%) was calculated as the total number of likes,…

A global study surveyed information security professionals regarding trends and issues affecting their profession and careers. In the study, women were asked about their impact on the security posture of their organization. The study found that 24% of women indicated that their opinions are not valued When comparing women who did not feel valued and women who did feel valued, the most substantial difference concerned training and leadership programs. The study also found that 48% of women that feel undervalued say their organization does not provide adequate training and leadership development resources whereas 59% of women who do feel valued in their position indicate that their organization does provide adequate training and leadership development resources If a woman is selected at random and that woman indicates that her organization does not provide adequate training and leadership development resources, what is the probability that this woman feels undervalued? The probability is…

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) collaborated with Globoforce on a series of organizational surveys with the goal of identifying challenges that HR leaders face and what strategies help them conquer those challenges. A 2016 survey indicates that employee retention/turnover (46%) and employee engagement (36%) were cited as the most important organizational challenges currently faced by HR professionals. One strategy that may have an impact on employee retention, turnover, and engagement is a successful employee  recognition program. Surveying small organizations, those with 500 to 2,499 employees, and large organizations, those with 10,000 or more employees, SHRM and Globoforce showed that 326 (77%) of the 423 small organizations have employee retention programs as compared to 167 (87%) of the 192 large organizations a.

Pursuing an MBA is a major personal investment. Tuition and expenses associated with business school programs are​ costly, but the high costs come with hopes of career advancement and high salaries. A prospective MBA student would like to examine the factors that impact starting salary upon graduation and decides to develop a model that uses program​ per-year tuition as a predictor of starting salary. Data were collected for 37 ​full-time MBA programs offered at private universities. The data are stored in the accompanying table Use the​ least-squares method to determine the regression coefficients b0 and b1.

In 2015, over 30,00030,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses, and the number of inpatient stays and emergency visits to hospitals related to opioids increased dramatically compared to previous years. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have partnered with the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) to gather data on opioid-related deaths and hospitalizations. These data include information about inpatient stays, emergency department visits, age, sex, income, and opioid-related use. For a given patient admitted to a hospital for an opioid-related event, identify which of these events are disjoint. A) The patient was 62 years old. B) The patient did not visit the emergency room. C) The patient was male. D) The patient was admitted to a large metropolitan hospital. E) The patient's case was critical and they were admitted to the emergency room.

A mail-order catalog business that sells personal computer supplies, software, and hardware maintains a centralized warehouse for the distribution of products ordered. Management is currently examining the process of distribution from the warehouse and has the business objective of determining the factors that affect warehouse distribution costs. Currently, a handling fee is added to the order, regardless of the amount of the order. Data that indicate the warehouse distribution costs and the number of orders received have been collected over the past 24 months and can be seen below:     Months Distribution Cost ($thousands) Number of Orders 1 52.95 4015 2 71.66 3806 3 85.58 5309 4 63.69 4262 5 72.81 4296 6 68.44 4097 7 52.46 3213 8 70.77 4809 9 82.03 5237 10 74.39 4732 11 70.84 4413 12 54.08 2921 13 62.98 3977 14 72.30 4428 15 58.99 3964 16 79.38 4582…

The hospital readmission rate is often considered an indicator of an undesirable patient outcome. Youquality improvement team is located at a metropolitan hospital that serves a large population. The quality improvement team is conducting a study pertaining to readmissions, smoking and number of drugs administered to admitted patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The team is interested in reducing the number of readmissions among patients discharged with a principal diagnosis of CHF.  The team believes that the high admission rate is due to the difficulty that these patients have in controlling the number of drugs that they typically take. The team believes that by improving patient/family education regarding drug administration, the readmission rate could be reduced. Thus, they have developed the screen “CHF patients taking three or more drugs” to identify these patients before discharge. To evaluate the effectiveness of the measure, the team conducts a study on all CHF…

Absenteeism:  Absenteeism can be a serious employment problem.  It is estimated that absenteeism reduces potential output by more than 10%.  Two economists launched a research project to learn more about the problem.  They randomly selected 100 organizations to participate in a 1-year study.  For each organization, they recorded the average number of days absent per employee and several variables thought to affect absenteeism. Management’s goal here is to analyze the data and determine which factors may be helpful in predicting absenteeism. Perform a two-sample t-test analysis to determine if mean absenteeism is different between organizations which have a good Union management and those that do not. I have provided the F-test for two variances below: Copy and paste the Two sample t-test output below AND provide a clear conclusion supported by key statistics in the output about how absenteeism is affected by the Union Management Relationship. (I just need to know how to perform the two…

Now let us build a model to predict absenteeism based on key independent variables available in this dataset; wage, PctPT, PctU, Av Shift and U/MRel. Correlation matrix is provided below. Why are the variables AvShift and U/MRel excluded from this correlation matrix?  Which variable in the matrix is likely to provide the best simple linear regression model and why? Does the correlation matrix show any evidence of collinearity? Explain.    Data:…

In 2015, over 30,000 Americans died from opioid overdoses, and the number of inpatient stays and emergency visits to hospitals related to opiods increased dramatically compared to previous years. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have partnered with the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) to gather data on opioid-related deaths and hospitalizations. These data include information about inpatient stays, emergency department visits, age, sex, income, and opiod-related use. For a given patient admitted to a hopsital for an opioid-related event, identify which of these events are disjoint. The patient was admitted to a large metropolitan hospital. The patient's duration of stay was one day. The patient stayed at the hospital for over a week. The patient was 34 years old. The patient was female.
