Australian construction industry current research problem

ASSESSMENT TASK
–          Identify a research problem that is of current relevance to the Australian construction industry.
Before research can begin it is necessary to establish that there is something worthwhile to investigate.  In order to do so, you must gain an understanding of current knowledge that surrounds a topic.  This will allow you to see which areas of your topic are ‘complete’ and which areas still have a ‘problem’ that needs further research.  The aim of this first assignment is to set you on the path to find a problem that needs further research.
There are four parts to this assignment as followed: (My topic area is: Work life balance in Construction) Please ensure this is relevant to the Australian construction industry.

1. Search (using scholarly database) and skim read at least 20 journal articles that have been published since 2010 and are relevant to your topic (you may use google scholar).  Include details of these articles in a ‘ Journal Spreadsheet’ (I have attached an excel spreadsheet for you to fill out) .  You must also complete a ‘ Research Analysis Summary ’ for 5 of these articles (I have also attached a template of this as well which you can fill out for 5 of these articles)
2. Select 2 articles and write a critical comparison of about 600 words (less than 2 pages).  The purpose of this short piece is to practice your academic writing.
3. Develop a Mind Map that shows the themes for current knowledge related to your research topic.  This Mind Map will be developed based on your reading – not based on ‘brainstorming’ or existing knowledge.

MGT 5300 CASE STUDY on a chosen organization

This is a paper that focuses on the MGT 5300 CASE STUDY on a chosen organization. The paper also contains a structure to which you are to use in the paper.

MGT 5300 CASE STUDY on a chosen organization

The purpose of this assignment is to enhance your writing, application of knowledge, and critical thinking skills. In general, this assignment requires you to analyze an organization of your choice and prepare a case study covering a variety of aspects of the organization. The content will include information on the mission, strategy, culture, structure, and environment of the organization.

·         First you need to choose an organization to examine. It can be one you worked for in the past, your present employer, or any other organization that interests you. It is important that you be able to interview at least two employees from this organization, so if you select one that is “new” to you, you will need to contact the organization in order to verify that you can get access to discuss the organization with two current employees.  In the second and third weeks of class this selection process should be completed.

Format and detailed requirements

There should be six sections to your paper: Introduction, External environment, mission and goals, structure, culture, and Conclusions.

I.            Introduction: Firstly, briefly how you happened to choose it as a focus for this project.
II.            External Environment: Secondly, what are some of the basic issues confronting the industry of which your organization is a part?  While this is a potentially huge topic to discuss, try to focus on the most important aspects of the environment (i.e., competition, suppliers, customers, employees, regulatory issues, economy, etc.).

III.            Organizational mission and official goals: Thirdly, what do members see as the purpose of this organization?  What are the organization’s long-term goals?  You will want to do two things to answer this question. First, you need to find out if there is an official position formally set forth by the organization.  Second, you need to assemble a set of questions to pose to a sample of employees of the organization to reveal how they view their mission and goals.  You can do that using whatever research approach you like- individual or group interview, via e-mail, etc.

IV.            Organizational structure:

Fourthly, describe the organization’s structure.  Provide a depiction of the chart, either one the organization uses or your own assessment if there is no such document.  Describe what the organizational chart tells you about the vertical and horizontal complexity and integration of this organization.  Explain how the organization uses its formal structure to promote coordination and integration.
Organizational culture: Collect and analyze available evidence regarding the culture of this organization.

Observables include physical manifestations, such as the physical buildings and real estate (e.g., landscaping, age of buildings), and rites and rituals, as well as verbal aspects, such as stories (and myths) regarding the organization and its founders.  Shared values and common assumptions are not immediately apparent, but may be ascertained through a discussion with members. You must interview at least two organizational members, and work with them to help you understand their values and those of the organization.

PRESENTATION
back to top
This assignment requires you to understand report writing style and requirements. An important aspect of report writing is to convince the person or committee, the hypothetical audience for your writing, to persuade by your argument and to adopt your recommendations.

You will need to bear this in mind when completing this assignment, as presentation is part of the assessment.

MBA Managerial Economics: Estimate and analyze the demand for Turkey

MBA Managerial Economics: Estimate and analyze the demand for Turkey. (Report & Excel file) 8 pages to include screenshot exhibits to back up the report.

MBA Managerial Economics: Estimate and analyze the demand for Turkey

MBA Managerial Economics.
Our group needs to estimate and analyze the demand for Turkey. (Report & Excel file) 8 pages to include screenshot exhibits to back up the report.

The data set includes information on the quantities consumed of this good. (A proxy for the quantities demanded for this good). Also, the price per unit of this good. The price per unit of at least one related good in consumption (substitute or complementary good). Lastly, a proxy for consumer income.

We will provide/attach the raw data you will use in this study.

Please create an excel spreadsheet with this data.

You will use excel to run a linear regression analysis of the data.

We don’t know what the real demand for this good is but we can use linear regression analysis to obtain parameter estimates of a linear approximation of it. In other words, if the unknown demand for this good is

QD = F (P; PR, M)

Where QD is the quantity demanded for this good. P is the price per unit. PR is the price of the related good(s) in consumption (substitute or complement) and M is consumer income.

A linear approximation of this demand equation is

QD = a + b P + c PR + d M

You will use the data provided and excel to estimate the unknown parameters a, b, c, and d.

Then, you will use these parameter estimates to analyze the regression results and provide advice, recommendations and useful information to firms producing this good.

The final report will have the following basic format.

1. Executive summary.

2. Introduction with goals and objectives.

3. Analytical and Empirical Frameworks.

4. Results and Discussion.

5. Conclusions and recommendations.

Specific requirements.
(Detailed explanations needed)
The data is attached there should be a minimum of 8 pages. More including screenshots from excel as exhibits backing the report. If possible we’d like the excel sheets of any calculations.
