For your Unit 5 Complete assignment, write a narrative essay (minimum 1500 words) in which you address and discuss the questions and statements listed below. Use at least four scholarly sources and remember to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the READ and ATTEND sections in your essay. Cite your sources in APA format.

· According to Aristotle, what is the relationship between leading an ethical life and being happy or “flourishing”? Provide a specific example of such a relationship.

· Describe the role that practical wisdom plays in character.

· What is Aristotle’s theory of the “Golden Mean”? Provide an example of a situation which follows that principle and one which violates it.

· In 1997, a civil court awarded $25 million in punitive damages for the wrongful deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. The Goldman family was also awarded $8.5 million in compensatory damages. Punitive damages are designed to account for the reprehensibility of the act, while compensatory damages, are designed to compensate for a loss.

Is it right or wrong to assign a monetary value to human life? How should society calculate compensatory and punitive damages in wrongful death cases?

Select a commercial bank whose income statement data are available. Using recent income statement information about that bank, assess its performance. How does the performance of this bank compare to the performance of other similar banks?

Class Project
The objective of the class project is two-fold: a) to familiarize you with the usage of Excel (which you will have to use in your jobs, no matter what type of jobs), and b) to draw conclusions based on the facts and your learning. You need to answer all questions (to be given to you later) and write no more than 2-page (single spaced, 12 fonts, and Times New Roman font). Your writing should be precise and indicative of your understanding the facts presented in the case. I will hold a review session on how to prepare your data and how to create the report, which will be announced within Canvas closer to the time in which the assignment is due. See the Weekly Schedule below for due dates and times.
What to do:
Select a commercial bank whose income statement data are available. Using recent income statement information about that bank, assess its performance. How does the performance of this bank compare to the performance of other similar banks? Compared with the other similar banks, is its return on equity higher or lower? What is the main reason why its ROE is different from the norm? (Is it due to its interest expenses? Its noninterest income?).
Data:
Please refer to the “Project Guidelines” document and follow the step-by-step instructions to create you Excel Spreadsheet.
What to submit:
You need to submit your written part in word or PDF format along with Excel calculation.
Your written part should stand out itself, i.e., you should use numbers to support your arguments. If need be, you may reference to the specific cell in the Excel. If you would like to copy paste tables from Excel, you can add an appendix to the word file. Appendix is separate and is not included in the page count. A grading rubric for the project will be provided in the Assignment Dropbox area. Please note that NO late Projects will be permitted.

Describe the BI methodology and concepts that were used in the creation of the metrics and KPIs.

Competency
Evaluate business intelligence (BI) frameworks.
Student Success Criteria
View the grading rubric for this deliverable by selecting the “This item is graded with a rubric” link, which is located in the Details & Information pane.
Scenario
You are currently a Business Analyst for a large organization. You have been asked to interview leaders within your organization to determine which metrics and KPIs should be implemented for the new Business Intelligence (BI) tool your department is creating to track performance. Via email (shown below), your manager has asked you to create metrics and KPIs for a number of other departments within the organization and email that document to them by the end of business today.
Instructions
First, craft your diagram for the four departments. Next, create an email response in Microsoft Word, copy and paste your diagram into it, and provide the answers to the remaining questions. Your email response should include the following:
Describe the BI methodology and concepts that were used in the creation of the metrics and KPIs.
Discuss how this data could be used in building BI and analytical frameworks for future initiatives.
Analyze how the decision to use the new BI tool and performance metrics will optimize business performance.
Provide attribution for credible sources needed in completing your response email.
Grader Comments: This will need to be edited for a passing grade:
Your memorandum touches on various BI methodologies and concepts, but it could benefit from more detailed and concrete examples to illustrate the practical application of these concepts within the context of Company XXX. Additionally, providing specific connections between the BI methodology and the creation of metrics and KPIs would enhance the understanding of your approach. Please review the rubric and additional feedback provided for each criterion for areas of improvement.
You briefly discussed the importance of adopting a matrix organizational structure to promote interdepartmental coordination. However, you didn’t elaborate on how this relates to the BI methodology or the creation of metrics and KPIs.
While you provided a list of KPIs, you did not explicitly connect these KPIs to the BI methodology or explain how they were derived or calculated. It would be beneficial to provide insights into the data sources, analysis methods, or BI tools used to create these KPIs.
You discussed how the KPI data could be used in benchmarking with other organizations, conducting SWOT analyses, industry analyses (Porter’s Five), and PESTLE analyses. These are all valuable future initiatives and frameworks to consider.
However, it would be helpful to provide specific examples or scenarios where these analyses and frameworks would be applied and the benefits they would bring to Company XXX.
