Category: Business & Finance homework help

Have you ever wondered if there was enough money in your checking account to cover all your expenses for the month? Maybe you are proactive and want to know what items contribute to your expenses each month and how your situation would be impacted if certain items were eliminated.  Perhaps you are contemplating another side hustle and would like to see a snapshot of how much more money you will need to bring in to achieve your financial goals.  Whatever the situation, you probably reached for a bank statement, your budget, or created a spreadsheet to help answer your question.  You chose to use a financial statement of some sort to help with your query.  Businesses and investors have similar questions, however, to insure that the analysis used to conduct this research is consistent with every business, regardless of what they do, they start by using a set of agreed upon practices and documents (called financial statements) to help illustrate the health of a company and how it functions financially.  These financial statements are the Balance Sheet, Income Statement, and Statement of Cash Flows.
Choose one of these statements as your preferred document to analyze the health of an enterprise and explain why you prefer it and how it is used.  There is no right or wrong selection.
REMEMBER:  Provide at least five sentences in your post and reply to the posts of at least two of your classmates with a minimum of three sentences to receive full credit. (Feel free to respond to comments from your classmates on your post.  This is a discussion).

Instructions
In this project, you have the opportunity to study a question (or a set of questions) of your interest related to human capital analysis. There is no restriction on what data to use, what statistical software to run, or what statistical tests you may use to answer the question. There are only three requirements/guidelines:
The question you propose to study needs to be interesting and meaningful in practice, meaning that 1) there is no obvious answer to the question without any data analysis, and 2) answering the question could enhance the practice of human capital management. It also needs to be related to at least one of the topics covered in the course (e.g., diversity, engagement, turnover, performance, recruitment, etc.).
To answer the question, you need to tap into more than one dataset. There are various ways to do so. You could join two datasets together according to a common identifier variable. You could also use different datasets to study different aspects of the problem (e.g., each dataset for a different industry). For example, if you are interested in studying how job experience affects job performance, you could tap into one dataset, “Chapter 6 Individual Turnover”, to analyze the relationship between “AppraisalRating” and “LengthOfService”, and another dataset, say “Chapter 7 with performance 2014 2015 and Sick2014”, for a more comprehensive view that includes not only job tenure and performance rating but also other variables such as job strain.
Since our course focuses on analytical methods, your answer to the question should include not only conceptual arguments but also statistical evidence. In general, I would expect at least five statistical tests/procedures in your analysis. These could be different procedures or variations of the same procedure. For example, when studying job tenure, you could treat it as a numerical variable and run linear regression with job tenure being an independent variable. You could also treat it as a categorical variable and run another linear regression after dummy coding (like we do in Week 5 to address the non-linear effect of age).

 The deeper your understanding of the cultural context within which you are communicating, the more effective you—and your communication—will be. In this Discussion, you will choose two countries of interest to you and compare the cultures of these countries across important cultural dimensions. You will then analyze how these differences and similarities might impact communication between individuals from each of the countries and propose tips for ensuring shared understanding. 
To prepare for this Discussion:
Visit the following resource and select two countries to compare using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. They can be countries in which you are interested, countries where you have lived or visited, countries that represent your ancestry, or simply countries with which you are most familiar. The only requirement is to select two different countries for this Discussion.
