You have come up with a great new idea for a product and are thinking about starting your own business. Your idea is an automatic pet groomer! We have robotic carpet vacuums, why not one that every six weeks or so bathe, cuts hair, and trim nails for the household pet! You have solved the technical problems, but are not sure if it is economically feasible. Your analysis suggests that if the average citizen of the nearest major city to you spends at least $ 100 every three months on pet grooming your product will be an enormous success. You have conducted a survey to gather data, but do not know what to do next. In this workshop, you will learn how to create hypotheses for research testing and how to test those hypotheses about the population. Using these methods, you can see if your idea has any potential or not Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to: • Make statistical comparisons between data sets.

Bonds can be priced at a discount, a premium, or at face value, depending on the coupon rate of the bond and the market interest rate. There is a clear interaction between bond valuation and interest rates and yield in the marketplace. This becomes evident in the application of the formulas that are used to calculate and evaluate the value of the bond. Understanding this interaction is important in management decision making to ensure that the funds needed are obtained and to manage the debt that the organization assumes in this process. Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to: • Calculate and evaluate bond values based on cash flows, interest rates, and time to maturity. • Evaluate the effect of potential changes in market interest rates including the impact of inflation on a bond’s value. • Differentiate yield to maturity versus current yield. • Distinguish between the various bond types, and their features and issues related to bond markets.

Revised Final Proposal - Product Differentiation and Positioning The process of peer review strengthens a presentation by having another qualified person analyze the same data and then review your work. You originally drafted the product differentiation and positioning section of the consultant’s report. In the last module, a peer provided a different and alternative perspective, conclusion, and/or recommendation using independent research and analysis. In this module, you will now strengthen your initial draft by integrating the alternative from your peer into your revised final draft that will be submitted to the client. Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to: • Create product development strategies and market demand estimates. • Assess the market structure to determine the crucial factors influencing the marketing strategy.

During the COVID-19 stay-at-home requirements, many people worked from home. To carry on business, companies utilized various web-based meeting tools (such as Zoom). Some of these tools lacked robust security. A company, being proactive, sought to assure security against those attempting to take over such sessions. In Christianity, God brings to mind those things we need to ensure protection against, including issues related to computer security. We again look to the word of God for Scripture that tells us that safety can be found in the Lord. Psalm 140:4 says, “Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet” (NIV). We find in the Bible the admonition to seek the Lord in our activities as protection from those that would trick us. Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to: • Integrate biblical and ethical principles into information security management processes.

Qualitative Data Collection and Analysis 1. What is discourse analysis? Give an example of how this could be used in a research study. For example, using discourse analysis to study the social interaction of Pokemon Go users. One could collect conversations of user discussing community event days to understand what motivates them to join in on those days. 2. What is data collection? What types of qualitative data do you think you could collect and why? (choose just 1-2 to discuss) 3. What is the purpose of coding your data? Select one type of coding strategy mentioned in this week's materials and describe how it can be used in a (or your) research study. Qualitative Data Collection and Analysis 1.
