Describe a real-world relationship between two variables that you believe is linear. Justify your example.

Suppose customer satisfaction depends on the number of customer service representatives
I hire. After careful data collection, I estimate the particular relationship to be:
CS = 70 + 4R – .2R2.
Where CS = a customer satisfaction score on a scale of 0-100, and R
is the number of customer service representatives I hire. Suppose I
am interested ONLY in maximizing my customer satisfaction score by
choosing a number of customer service representatives.
a) Graph this function and define and describe (in
economic terms!) the intercept and slope.
b) What level of R would maximize CS? What is the
maximum CS score achieved? Show all your work and explain the
economics behind the steps!
c) What could the firm do to increase the intercept from
70 to 80? Explain fully.
2. Describe a real-world relationship between two
variables that you believe is linear. Justify your example. Now
instead provide a real-world example of two variables that are
not related linearly. Again, explain your reasoning.
Graphs are essential write them clearly and label everything!

What similarities did you notice between the two mission statements, and why do you think they were similar?

Creating organizational mission, vision, and culture statements is a highly collaborative activity. Stakeholders from various teams and departments bring their expertise and perspectives to help create organizational elements that reflect the collective experiences, knowledge, and values across an organization. This results in a final product that reflects diverse experiences and perspectives that are still in alignment with organizational values.
Use the following culture statement from the SNHU Pet Supply Company to guide your contributions to this discussion. Please note that you are only required to submit one initial post and one response post for this discussion.
Culture Statement
The SNHU Pet Supply Company is staffed by a diverse group of more than 500 employees who love pets and appreciate the joy and friendship they bring to our homes and communities. We are a passionate, friendly group of people who strive to provide high-quality products and customer-first services across the nation to our customers and their pets.
For your initial post, contribute to Thread A or Thread B based on the table below.
If Your Last Name Begins With:Submit Your Initial Post in Thread:Submit Your Response Post in Thread:A through LACM through ZBC
Complete the following before Thursday at 11:59 p.m. of your local time zone:
Review the SNHU Pet Company culture statement.
Copy and paste the updated mission statement from the post above your own in the thread. Then, add one sentence or make one revision that you feel should be included in the mission statement based on the ongoing conversation among your peers.
Example: Let’s say we are creating a mission statement for Suzie-Q Cupcakes. Student One may write, “The mission of Suzie-Q Cupcakes is to provide customers with delectable treats.”
Student Two would then add to or revise this and post: “The mission of Suzie-Q Cupcakes is to provide customers with delectable treats that put a smile on their faces.”
Student Three would continue by adding or revising; the results would be something similar to “The mission of Suzie-Q Cupcakes is to provide customers with delectable treats that put a smile on their faces. This is accomplished through employee passion and creativity.”
In one to two sentences, explain why you think your added sentence or revision is valuable based on the company’s culture statement and what you have learned from the module resources.
For your response post, review the final collaborative mission statements in Threads A and B. These should be the posts at the very bottom of each thread. After reviewing each, discuss the following in Thread C with your peers.
What similarities did you notice between the two mission statements, and why do you think they were similar?
What differences did you notice between the two mission statements, and why do you think they were different?
What do the similarities and differences you noticed help you understand about the importance and impact of collaboration?
Were there certain parts of either mission statement that you really liked? If so, what were they, and why did you like them?

How does your chosen regulation impact Human Resources Management

Complying with legal requirements is an important function within human resources. These legal requirements may be compiled complex, and may change over time or based on a company location. A company’s compliance with these laws and regulations is generally considered a minimum standard for an HR department. In this assignment, you will research legal regulations, the impact of these regulations regarding the HR processes and HRM.
How does your chosen regulation impact Human Resources Management
How does the chosen regulation impact day to day operations in an organization, What amendments have been made to the chosen regulation in the past five to ten years. How have these amendments affected Human Resources Management.

what are the ramification/correlation of risk management and risk tolerance in the strategic management process and strategic capacity planning.

One of the changes in the strategic planning process, because of project management is the addition of strategic capacity planning to the strategic management process. Companies want to optimally maximize the utilization of all of their resources, so instead of only doing two or three capital projects they want to do five or six, i.e. “more for less”. They are looking and allocating resources into the future to determine what resources they need, have to acquire, if they can acquire them and/or how they will acquire the needed resources, i.e. outsource, temp or hire strategic partnerships, joint venture, etc.
So the question is what are the ramification/correlation of risk management and risk tolerance in the strategic management process and strategic capacity planning. You have to think past the very obvious and trace the cause and effect/ramifications through the whole system over the spectrum or time horizon of the strategic plan, typically 3-5 years but some extend to 10-15 years depend on the industry of the company, like drug companies.

does a small business capitalize on social media to reduce cost and increase profits?

You will need to keep in mind and consider that companies exist to make a profit and benefits are a cost of labor for the company. This same principle applies to a non-profit which is an IRS designation and too many name non-profit implies that a company is not making and/or focused on a profit. The fact is that even a non-profit has to make a profit but they have to budget to use any profit the following year.
The following is a high level formula:
Total Cost of goods (COS) and/or service (per unit) + Profit (per unit) = Price of goods and/or service (per unit)
The question then is does a small business capitalize on social media to reduce cost and increase profits? social media affect/have an impact

prepare a report documenting changes in inequality in the United States since the 1970s.

Data Report 2
A client has asked you to prepare a report documenting changes in inequality in the United
States since the 1970s. Your report should present data covering multiple variables that
demonstrate different ways to view the broad concept of inequality. It should also provide a
brief analysis of the patterns you observe. Your job is not to hypothesize causes of changes in
inequality, but rather to discuss the facts. Some ideas you may want to consider when
preparing the report:
1. How similar/different varying measures of inequality look over time
2. The difference between wealth inequality and income inequality
3. Before tax vs after tax measurements
4. Comparison of the US to other countries
5. Inequality between different genders, ethnicities, education levels, etc.
You do not need to answer all of the questions above and you are welcome to look at different
issues that you find interesting. Assume that the client is familiar with basic economic concepts
but is not an economist. This means part of your description should be focused on defining the
variables you chose and discussing precisely what they measure. When possible, discuss the
relevant tradeoffs between different measures (i.e. are there any shortcomings of the
measures?) and why you chose the ones that you did. Do your best to convey why the data
you are showing is important.
Requirements
1. Your report needs to look nice. Graphs should be easy to read, consistently themed, and
formatted cleanly. Text should be presented neatly and it should be clear to which graph
the text refers. Have some fun with it! Creativity is encouraged!
2. Your report must include at least 6 data series and at least 4 separate graphs (in other
words, you can put more than one series on a graph if it makes sense – for example income
shares for different groups). Do not take graphs from other sources. Always download the
data and create the graph yourself.
3. Part of your job is finding data sources. It should be pretty easy to find data (a google
search of “inequality downloadable data” brings up many options)
4. There is no formal requirement for length, but you do not need more than a few sentences
describing each graph (and a few on the comparison across graphs when that makes
sense to do). Bullets with incomplete sentences are ok if you prefer that format. The
important part is to make the reader understand precisely what is going on in each piece of
your data.
