MAMC01803 Level 8 Analytics for Managers Assessment 2 Analysis Report

Level:

MAMC01803 Assessment Overview

This is the second of two assessments for this course. For this assessment, you will complete an analysis report that critically frames data, applies data-driven techniques, and evaluates the results to justify recommendations for management decision-making in an organization.

Conditions Of Assessment

This is an individual assessment that you will complete in your learner-managed time, however, your teacher will provide opportunities during class time for clarification, guidance, collaborative working opportunities, and group discussion. All work must be completely your own and all literature used must be referenced appropriately using APA 7th edition. In order to pass this course, you must achieve a cumulative grade of at least 50%, across assessments one and two.

Learning Outcome(S) Assessed

Critically frame data problems in a variety of business contexts.
Critically apply appropriate data driven techniques to address business problems.
Critically evaluate data to justify recommendations to an organisation.

Reassessment/Resubmission/Extensions

Please see your course outline for guidelines around reassessment, resubmission, and extensions.

Instructions

In preparation for this task, you need to choose a data set from the source recommended by your teacher. You should have your source approved by your teacher to ensure that it gives you sufficient scope to meet the requirements of this assessment.

Using this data, you will produce a written analysis report that:

Critically frames the selected data to address problems in a variety of managerial decision-making contexts in an organisation.
Critically discusses potential data-driven techniques and justifies their application to fit the identified problems.
Applies the selected techniques to generate analysis results for the specified problems.
Critically justify the results to provide and support recommendations that address the selected managerial decision-making problems.

Criteria	10-9	8-7	6-5	4-0
Framing data for management problems	The report demonstrates in depth the rationale of framing business problems and provides plausible evidence in critically framing the data to address problems for a variety of business contexts with insight and judicious support from relevant literature*.	The report clearly demonstrates in good detail the rationale of framing business problems and provides plausible evidence in critically framing the data to address problems for a variety of business contexts with clarity and specific support from relevant literature.	The report demonstrates the rationale for framing business problems and provides plausible evidence in critically framing the data to address problems for a variety of business contexts with support from relevant literature.	The report does not demonstrate the rationale for framing business problems and/or does not provide plausible evidence or critically frame the data to address problems for a variety of business contexts and/or is not supported by relevant literature.
Justified application of the data-driven techniques	The report demonstrates in-depth and with insight, the rationale for the application of data analytics techniques and provides appropriate and detailed evidence to: ● Critically and perceptively justify the selection of appropriate data-driven techniques that can be applied to the data selected ● Critically and perceptively justify the application of data-driven techniques to generate logically meaningful results	The report clearly demonstrates in good detail the rationale of the application of data analytics techniques and provides appropriate and sufficient evidence to: ● Critically and thoroughly justify the selection of appropriate data-driven techniques that can be applied to the data selected ● Critically and thoroughly justify the application of data-driven techniques to generate logically meaningful results	The report demonstrates the rationale for the application of data analytics techniques and provides appropriate evidence to: ● Critically justify the selection of appropriate data-driven techniques that can be applied to the data selected ● Critically justify the application of data-driven techniques to generate logically meaningful results	The report does not demonstrate the rationale for the application of data analytics techniques and/or does not provide appropriate evidence to: ● Critically justify the selection of appropriate data-driven techniques that can be applied to the data selected ● Critically justify the application of data-driven techniques to generate logically meaningful results
Results; justification and recommendations	The report demonstrates extensive and appropriate use of evaluation matrices and other performance criteria for the software-generated analytical reports which provide: ● perceptive critical evaluation of the results based on the analysis ● an appropriate and perceptive critical justification of the results ● insightful and realistic recommendations for solving the managerial decision-making problems	The report demonstrates the appropriate use of evaluation matrices and other performance criteria for the software-generated analytical reports which provide: ● clear critical evaluation of the results based on the analysis ● an appropriate and thorough critical justification of the results ● thorough and realistic recommendations for solving the managerial decision-making problems	The report demonstrates appropriate use of evaluation matrices and other performance criteria for the software-generated analytical reports which provide: ● critical evaluation of the results based on the analysis ● an appropriate critical justification of the results ● realistic recommendations for solving the managerial decision-making problems
