For each of the four variables listed above, identify the level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) for each and explain how you reached this conclusion.

 

For the different variable levels (nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio), identify the most appropriate measure of central tendency (mean, median, or mode).

 

 

For the variables, HOME, TENURE and SIBLINGS, identify the correct measure of central tendency and explain why it is appropriate. Locate the values for the measure on the tables and report them for each variable.

 

Based on the data, what conclusions can you draw about gang members?

 

People feel better when they think they are getting a great bargain when they shop. Knowing this, some retailer’s markup items above the traditional retail price and then offer a 60 percent discount. If they had simply discounted the normal retail price by 20 percent, the resulting “sale price” would have been the same. One retailer says that he is just making shoppers happy that they got a great deal when he inflates the retail price before discounting.

Significantly marking up prices in order to offer “deep discounts” is not an unethical pricing practice per se, but it may be considered misleading advertising. The retailer is not really reducing its profits as a result of offering the sale price, even though a 60 percent discount implies a financial sacrifice on the part of the retailer for the benefit of the customer.

The situation described above could, perhaps, be considered a sales promotion that uses deception or manipulation.

1. As a consumer think of a place you like to shop at because of the so-called great bargains, coupons, cash back and or discounts they offer.
2. From your shopping experience explain if the discounts you received on your purchase you feel was a bargain deal or do you feel you overpaid.
3. Did you believe the retailer is sacrificing revenue for you the consumers’ benefit?
4. Why or Why not?
5. Do you find their sales practices to be ethical and beneficial to the consumer or perhaps unethical and misleading?

In the business world, the final phase of design thinking is where a solution strategy is selected and a business case is made for the viability of the chosen solution. If the previous phases have been enacted diligently, the proposed solution has a very good chance of leading to an innovation.

By now, you have identified an issue or problem in your workspace that can be improved in some tangible way. You have generated a list of ideas that could lead to this improvement, and collaborated with your classmates to gain alternate perspectives and solutions. It is now time to step back from this process and evaluate how design-thinking can be applied to real-world business problems at your organization.

For this Application Assignment, imagine you have an opportunity to meet with the VP of Customer Services. You have 15 minutes to present on the value of the department’s use of design thinking to come up with a solution to a problem the team is experiencing.

Submit a Power-point-style presentation with a pitch script in the Notes section outlining your pitch for the use of design thinking to solve a problem. Be sure to include the following, with any other relevant information that you think is essential to an effective pitch:

• • Identify the potential customers or end users that would be positively affected if the organization adopted the more formal design thinking process.
  • Explain whether design thinking could be effectively integrated into the organization, and why?
  • How would you convince stakeholders within the organization of its value?

Be sure to draw on the articles by Brown (2008) and Brown and Anthony (2011) from this week’s Resources to support your conclusions.

Brown, T. (2008, June). Design thinking. Harvard Business Review, 86(6), 84–92. Retrieved from http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cb/pl/20331266/20331390/79d67270626d8aca2cb2e933457d14e3

When you think of design in the business context, do you think of the appealing packaging of a product like the iPhone or an iconic logo like the one on the Coca-Cola bottle? Design thinking, in the business context, refers not only to these aesthetic dimensions, but to a creative-thinking process that carefully considers user needs, financial possibilities, and many other factors. The design-thinking method is a new way to bring creativity to each step of the product or service development model. As you read this article, consider how creativity, when brought to every step of business processes, can lead to innovation.

line evaluate the chart at the link posted below. Pretend for a little while that Astrology is real, and determine what you think the astrological sign of each of the artists listed below based upon what you know about them and their work.

What would you say their astrological sign is, and what about them and their work leads you to believe this? I’m looking to see you show your familiarity with the artists, the work they did, and the styles and artistic movements they were associated with. A well-developed paragraph or two should do for each artist. Try to have some fun with it.

AGAIN YOU ARE WRITING ABOUT EACH OF THE ARTISTS LISTED, so you should have a minimum of four well-developed paragraphs.
