landmark court cases

/in /by

Instructions

For this assignment, you will write a paper of 4 to 6 pages in which you will analyze landmark court cases for how they have impacted digital communication. Pick three landmark court decisions that changed digital communication. These cases are identified and detailed in the chapters of your Media Law text. Make sure to choose cases from several different areas of law. Do not just focus on one area. You can choose cases from chapters we have already covered or from future chapters.

However, you may not choose Roth v. United States (1957) or Miller v. California (1973) for this activity, as these cases are the focus of the Module Six journal activity.

For each case, complete the following:

  1. Write a brief summary of the case.
  2. Describe how the ruling impacted or changed digital communication practices and law. What changes in the communication industry were a result of the case?
  3. Analyze the case and describe how it will impact the future of digital communication. Even cases that occurred decades ago can impact communication today and in the future.
  4. Based on the above determination, compile a list of three to five “best legal practices” (guidelines, or “do’s” and “don’ts”) that professionals should use in creating digital messages and other content for their companies.

i need help creating a short informational report that includes at least three data visualizations

/in /by

Information Design Project Description

Learning Objectives

  • Gain a better understanding of document design and visualizations
  • Write based on a specific purpose and audience
  • Create appropriate visuals from numeric data
  • Use visuals to support a specific point or argument
  • Analyze visuals to integrate data into an argument
  • Apply principles of design to create a visually appealing, readable document

Description

This project asks you to engage with data, present data for a specific audience, and practice making effective data visualizations. The project focuses on the fair, accurate, and ethical use of data, the conventions of writing with numbers and data, how to integrate figures into a document, and how to design effective visualizations. Audience and purpose are central to the goal of the final deliverable. As you will learn in completing this project, numbers don’t speak for themselves, and writing with data requires critical and rhetorical thought, as well as visual design skills.

In working on this project, you will engage with different types of visuals, as well as the conventions of writing with data and numbers. To achieve these goals, you will select a data set work with from one of the resources listed below. You will decide on a point you want to make for a specific audience using your data. You will then make decisions about which data to visualize from the larger data set, create three data visualizations help you make your point, and craft that data into a final deliverable of one page that includes three visuals and the text necessary to explain their data and make your point. You also will compose a reflective memo that explains your choices and goals, and how the final deliverable achieves them.

In addition to your textbook chapter on Visual Design, you may which to use this Periodic Table of Visualization Methods to explore various types and uses of visuals.

Data visualizations bring a number of benefits to any professional document, even short ones:

  • Though they have become extremely easy to make, people in the workplace still tend to be impressed by the extra effort and thoughtful presentation implicit in making a visualization.
  • Data visualizations also help to make the work of digesting and interpreting data more efficient by displaying trends or illustrating the significance of specific information without poring over page after page of numbers.
  • Because of this efficiency, visual elements are also better at communicating certain ideas more quickly than words or tabular data. Something that may take many sentences to communicate, a sudden drop in the efficiency of a process, or a surge in sales among a certain demographic, are instantly recognizable as spikes or dips along the X axis of a line graph.

For example:

This short report from the Department of Education provides an overview of literacy and numeracy for men and women. In this online short report, the authors created two bar charts that are designed to show relationships between data and then they briefly explain the importance of the data.

Assignment

For this project, you will find a data set and create a short informational report that includes at least three data visualizations that you feel best communicates that data in a form that maximizes the impact of the data to suit a specific audience and purpose.

To help you find a data set, here’s a link to a list of websites that provide raw data sets on various topics:

19 Free Public Data Sets for Your First Data Science Project

Find a data set you want to work with and spend some time with the data. Identify the trends that jump out at you as most significant. As you identify your audience, think about who would want to know about the data and the point you’d like to make.

Deliverables

Visual Report

A one-page, informative, visually interesting report that provides a broad overview of your subject. This report should incorporate at three types of visuals along with a discussion/analysis of the data in your figures. The text included should introduce the topic and its importance, explain the meaning of the visuals, and to point to the conclusions suggested by the data. You should think through and identify a clear audience. The analysis of the audience informs how the data is presented, the form the visualizations take, and the point you use the data to make, as well as the overall purpose of the document.

Reflective Analysis

A short 250- to 500-word note that explains the following (use headings to identify each topic):

  • How and why you selected your data set
  • How you selected which data to visualize and why you visualized it in the form you did
  • Who was your target audience and what was your overall goal/purpose
  • How you ensured that your visualizations of the data were fair, accurate, and clear
  • The raw data set used to create the report (with a citation for the data)

7 page demand management report capella

/in /by

  • Prepare a 7-page demand management plan, including a forecasting, inventory management, and scheduling analysis, as well as recommendations, for a provided scenario or business of your choice.

    Introduction

    This portfolio work project, a demand management plan, will help you demonstrate competency in forecasting, inventory management, and scheduling.

    Scenario

    For this assessment, choose either Option 1 or Option 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the Requirements below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.

    Option 1

    Wild Dog Coffee Company, a locally owned company with a single coffee shop location, serves a wide selection of espresso beverages, small breakfast and lunch menu items, and a limited evening menu. The company is planning to expand the business by adding an additional location. While different menu items may be tested at the new location, their core processes will remain the same. You have been working on a process improvement in preparation for the expansion and are now turning your attention to demand management.

    Option 2

    If you chose Option 2 for Assessment 1, use the same business for this assessment, or select a different business. Note that it is recommended that you use the same business for each assessment in this course, using the following criteria for your selection:

    • The company fits the assessment requirements and you have access to the information needed to complete the assessment.
    • The business information is disclosed in the assessment for faculty’s reference.
    • You can distribute the business data without disclosing confidential information.

    Contact faculty with questions.

    Your Role

    Option 1

    As an owner of Wild Dog Coffee Company, you and your business partners are planning the opening of a second location. You need to prepare an analysis and recommendations for demand management, including forecasting, inventory, and scheduling, for your current location, so you can refine the model before opening the second location.

    Option 2

    Your boss, a director, has tasked you with a demand management project. She is relying on you to prepare an analysis and recommendations for demand management that can be presented to the executive team of the company. You completed a special project for her a few months ago that went very well, and you are pleased to have received this new assignment.

    Requirements

    Include the following in your demand management plan:

    • Assess the impact of advertising on product demand.
      • If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, the following basic assumptions will help you prepare a demand forecast:

    The other owners of Wild Dog Coffee Company handle the business’ marketing and sales functions, and they believe that advertising expenditures impact the sale of coffee beverages. They want you to confirm whether or not their advertising dollars are driving sales. Here is what was agreed upon by all the owners:

    Wild Dog Coffee Business Information
    Questions Responses
    How many espresso beverages are made each hour? 30, on average
    How many ounces of espresso beans are used for each beverage? 1.5 ounces
    How many hours per day is the coffee shop open? 6:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., Sunday–Saturday
    How many days each month is the business open? 364 days per year. The coffee shop is closed on Christmas day.

    You have the following six months of data to work with for pounds of espresso beans (y) used each month and monthly advertising expenditures (x):

    Espresso Bean Use and Advertising
    Month Lbs/Beans (y) Advertising Dollars (x)
    1 987 $1,050
    2 1,412 $1,500
    3 1,020 $1,000
    4 1,140 $1,250
    5 1,322 $1,500
    6 1,399 $1,500
    • Interpret the forecasting model for the selected product.
      • Use a simple linear regression model to show your forecast.
      • If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, forecast the pounds of espresso beans needed for month 7 if the advertising budget for month 7 is $1,350. Interpret the model and respond to the following questions for Wild Dog Coffee Company:
        • How many espresso beverages will the company need to prepare, on average, each day?
        • How many pounds of espresso beans will the company need, on average, each day?
        • To what extent do advertising dollars predict the need for espresso beans?
    • Prepare an inventory management analysis for the selected product.
      • In your analysis, include two different approaches to inventory management. What are the pros and cons of each system you analyzed?
        • If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, the following provides additional information you have gathered from the inventory management analysis:
          • Since Wild Dog Coffee Company is small, the company must manage inventory very carefully. While larger companies can have lots of inventory on the shelf, Wild Dog simply does not have the cash to do that. As such, you have a number of pressures for small inventories. Wild Dog does not have the ability to store a lot of beans, to cover the cost of capital, or to withstand unnecessary expenditures for taxes, insurance, and shrinkage. Shrinkage is important because roasted espresso beans only maintain their optimal freshness for two weeks.
          • Demand is approaching 1,400 pounds of espresso beans per month.
          • Only one type of espresso bean is stocked.
          • Demand is not constant on a daily or weekly basis.
          • If you run out of espresso beans at any point, you will have to close the business until the next shipment of beans arrives.
          • Espresso beans are shipped in 25-pound packages. (This is your base inventory unit.)
          • The cost per pound of beans averages $9.00.
          • Espresso beans are delivered seven (7) days after placing the order and on any day of the week.
          • Shipping is free on orders over $250. Otherwise, shipping is $19.95 per order, regardless of weight. (This is the only ordering cost you incur.)
          • Holding costs are 10 percent/year/unit.
          • Standard deviation for daily demand is 1.84 pounds.
    • Analyze the business’ scheduling management.
      • In your analysis, detail two different staffing scenarios for Wild Dog Coffee Company or your selected business. What are the pros and cons of each staffing scenario?
      • Use a Word table or Excel spreadsheet to show both staffing scenarios for each day of the week. Include the daily and weekly total staffing costs and number of hours worked for each employee.
        • If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, the following provides additional information you have gathered from the staffing analysis:
          • Shifts have been scheduled according to who wants to work which shift. This has generally worked out well, but you realize you need to tighten up the scheduling process in order to optimize a staffing model. Two employees are required to make a coffee beverage. One employee takes the orders, and a barista makes the coffee drink and hands it to the customer.
          • Baristas are paid $14/hour, regardless of whether they are full-time or part-time.
          • Full-time employees (up to 40 hours/week), other than baristas, are paid $12/hour.
          • Part-time employees (up to 20 hours/week), other than baristas, are paid $9/hour.
          • All full-time employees receive company benefits that equate to 15 percent of their hourly rate. (This is known as a benefits load.)
          • All full-time employees are paid at 150 percent of their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 hours per week. Full-time employees can only work a maximum of 50 hours per week. The benefits load is not applied to overtime hours.
          • All part-time employees are paid at 150 percent of their regular rate for all hours worked over 20 hours per week. Part-time employees can only work a maximum of 26 hours per week.
          • It costs $500 to hire each additional employee, and it costs $250 to terminate an employee.
          • Full-time employees are likely to resign if moved to part-time status.
          • The coffee shop is open 84 hours per week. There are two additional hours allocated each day for one employee to perform opening and closing activities. (That is, one hour is allocated for opening duties and one hour is allocated for closing duties.)
          • Your current level of staffing for coffee beverages is as follows:
            1. Baristas – 1 full-time; 3 part-time.
            2. Non-barista – 1 full-time; 2 part-time.
    • Recommend an inventory management system and staffing plan for a selected business and product.
      • Detail the results of your analysis for Wild Dog Coffee Company or your selected business’ product to substantiate your recommendations.

    Deliverable Format

    Requirements:
    • The demand management plan is to be a minimum of 7 pages, not including the title, reference, and appendix pages.
    • Use a demand management plan template of your choice.
    Related company standards:
    • The demand management plan is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines (available in the MBA Program Resources), including single-spaced paragraphs.
    • In addition to the title and reference pages, include the following in the appendix:
      • Linear regression model for product forecasting.
      • Word table or Excel spreadsheet for staffing scenarios.
    • Use 2–3 scholarly or academic sources, where applicable, one of which must come from the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, or MIT Sloan Management Review.
    • Use APA formatting for citations and references.
