Deliverables: One two-page Case Report (appendices allowed) and one spreadsheet used to generate the report (multiple tabs are fine).
Directions: Please read the directions for how to prepare a Case Report: Carlson_Intro.pdfPreview the documentView in a new window. The scenario for this Case Study is Carlson_Case3_Stardoe.pdfPreview the documentView in a new window and the data file is STARDOE.xlsxPreview the documentView in a new window. Read the scenario and use Excel to perform the analysis for tasks 3.1 – 3.6. Once you have completed your analysis, synthesize your results into a two-page (single-spaced) report (see task 3.6).
Group Option: You may optionally work with a partner. If you choose to work with a partner, you and your partner go to Canvas > People and select an unoccupied group and “Join”. Both partners MUST join the SAME group. If the groups do not appear, type “Case Study 3” in the search window to find them.
Report Preparation Notes: This is not a “run of the mill” homework assignment. It will take some thought, and time with Excel, to perform sufficient analyses in order to complete the tasks. Here are a few tips for turning in a good paper.
Purpose: The reason for doing these in-depth Case Studies is to provide an authentic data analysis experience, which cannot be had in standard homework problems. The reason for the format is this is very common in the business world. It”s about the bottom line and you need to learn to communicate your work clearly and concisely to your manager or upper management. It is entirely possible that you may know more statistics than some to whom you present your work, and quite likely that you will know more about the data and analysis than they do. This format allows them to (1) quickly grasp what you are trying to say while (2) allowing them to confirm your work quality and conclusions by digging deeper into the appendices and spreadsheet(s), if necessary.
Example: Look at the sample Case Report: Case Report 1-Allflex Final.docxPreview the documentView in a new window, with Excel file Case Report 1-Allflex.xlsPreview the documentView in a new window. This is an A-quality Report. Here is an intermediate version, with editorial comments: Case Report 1-Allflex Draft.docxPreview the documentView in a new window. This report was generated for the scenario Carlson_Case1_Allflex_Time_Series.pdfPreview the documentView in a new window with this data file: ALLFLEX.xlsPreview the documentView in a new window. Don”t worry that we haven”t covered this exact type of analysis (time series). Notice the format, the economy of language, the way the appendix information is referenced, the way the time series is conducted, the format of the spreadsheet, the simple labeling techniques, etc. Only include the graphs/tables in your report body which are essential for your argument. Include any others which support your argument in the appendix; be sure to provide sufficient explanation in each appendix for your manager to understand what you did.
Audience: Your audience is your manager, and possibly higher executives in your company. Assume your manager had a statistics class in college, which may be some time ago — meaning that you can use the language, but you have to explain how you got there. Also, your report should be 3rd person. Or, if you use 1st person, it should be from a “we, as a member of the company” perspective. Avoid “I”.
Grading: Case Reports will be graded using the following rubric:Case_Report_Rubric.docxPreview the documentView in a new window.
Write-up: It is required that you fit all analyses into two-pages, single-spaced. Pay very close attention to the overall analysis steps on p. 2 and the write-up directions on p. 5-6 of the directions. The Executive Summary and the multiple layers of depth approach are essential. The body of the report really is two pages, but you strategically use the appendices to contain your technical argumentation and therefore the actual report is longer than two pages.
Canvas Submission: If you are in a group, make sure that only 1 group member submits your documents. If both members submit, then (due to Canvas architecture) your instructor may not be able to view some of the materials and you may not be able to read the instructor feedback.
Excel: Be sure to document your work by saving it in additional tabs of an Excel file, as necessary. The Excel file is only for your professor”s grading purpose, you do not need to also format it for your manager. If you use Google Sheets, you may submit the URL (or put it into the comment box), in place of an Excel file — just make sure to update the access settings to “Anyone with Link”. After your report is complete, before you submit your Excel file, check the following:
Do my tabs tabs have logical names? Are they in logical order?
Are there large gaps of empty space that might make a reader miss something?
Is there duplicated work? (This is especially confusing if there are duplicates with a slight change.)
Does this reflect the actual results quoted in the report?
Are there notes describing any unobvious analyses? (Textboxes and colors can be especially good for this.)
