Overview: When you are learning about an organization, the opportunity to meet with someone from the organization is invaluable. This is because people like to tell their stories, and asking follow-up questions creates a level of insight not gained from reviewing a website or reading an article. In addition, you have the opportunity to add real-world examples to those provided in your textbook.

Prompt: Write a short paper that summarizes your interview experience with a person from the not-for-profit organization you selected : Bill and Melinda Gates foundation.

 Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

1. Introduction: Provide the following:
   
   1. The name and position of the individual you interviewed (If you were able to meet and interview additional people, provide their names and
      positions also.)
   2. The name of the not-for-profit organization that the individual works for
   3. The date, time, and location of the interview
2. Interview Summary:
   
   1. List the questions you asked and the answers you received.
   2. What did you learn about the organization’s leadership that can contribute to your final project?
   3. What did you learn about that can contribute to your final project, in terms of how the organization communicates?
   4. What did you learn about that can contribute to your final project, in terms of how the organization manages its finances?
   5. What did you learn about that can contribute to your final project, in terms of the organization’s ethics?
3. Analysis: What are the organization’s overall strengths and weaknesses? In what ways do they impact organizational success? Support your assertions.
4. Conclusion: Write a summary of how you feel about your experience. Do you feel it went well? Why or why not?
5. Interview Consent Form: During your interview, you should ask for the interviewee’s signature on the Interview Consent Form, obtaining their permission to mention the name of the organization in your short paper. Additionally, it provided permission to quote the individual(s) anonymously in the assignment. Scan the Interview Consent Form as a PDF or take a picture of it and save it as a JPEG. Upload it along with your short paper.

Guidelines for Submission: Submit a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document (not including title page or references). It should be double spaced with 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and APA formatting. Submit your signed Interview Consent Form as either a PDF or a JPEG.

Customer data is being stored in a relational database, but the lack of administration has caused data integrity issues such as duplication. There are currently no policies in place to address the handling of data, business or customer. The company also desires to leverage the marketing power of social media but has no knowledge of the types of policies or legal issues they would need to consider. You will also need to propose relevant metrics that should be collected to ensure that the information governance program is effective.

The CEO and Board of Directors have tasked you to develop a proposal (paper) that will give them the knowledge needed to make informed decisions on an enterprise-wide Information Governance program, addressing (at a minimum) all of these issues, for the company. 

Requirements:

1. The paper should include at a minimum of the following sections:

a. Title page

b. Executive Summary (Abstract)

Using Minitab

This week, you learned about the statistical software applications used to analyze data for research analysis. For this week’s discussion, you will use Minitab to run descriptive statistics, create graphs and respond to the following: 

• How could you use Minitab descriptive statistics for data analysis research?
• What are your plans for learning more about Minitab and how will the information you learned about this software be of benefit in your future analysis of research data?

Refer to this week’s readings and video tutorials before starting this two part discussion question assignment. You will also have access to the Assignment Resources Step-by-Step Guide, accessed through the Assignment Resources Icon located to the right of the grading criteria above.

Step 1: Entering Data

Open Minitab

You will now use Minitab to enter a sample dataset by following the steps below and referring to the examples in the Assignment Step-by-Step guide. Begin by opening Minitab. Once open, you will see two windows. The Session Window is in the top half of the screen and the Worksheet is below. Only one window is active at a time.

Dataset Options

In many cases, researchers may have the data from their study in another software package like Microsoft Excel. However, if the data is not available in a software spreadsheet you can manually enter the data. You may now choose to populate your Minitab worksheet using the provided Excel worksheet in Option 1 or try Manual Data Entry by following the instructions in Option 2.

Option 1: Using Excel to populate Minitab

To access the Excel worksheet populated with data, go to the Data Set Icon located to the right of the grading criteria above. You can copy and paste the data set directly from Excel into Minitab.

Or

Option 2: Manual Data Entry

In the Worksheet window, type “Age” in C1. Enter the numbers as shown in the dataset below. Enter the remaining data as shown below (set up your column labels i.e., variable). The measure reflects math anxiety and the study variables (cringe, uneasy, afraid, worried, understand) the math anxiety range is from 1–5 with low being the least and 5 the highest.

Step 2: Run Descriptive Statistics

Now that your data is in Minitab, you will look at the descriptive statistics for this dataset. Select the Ribbon at the top titled “Statistics,” and then select “Descriptive Statistics”. Under the “Data tab” select a variable, under the “Statistics tab” check all the boxes, then click “OK”.

Discussion Question Part 1: 
How could you use Minitab descriptive statistics for data analysis research? Write about your experience running descriptive statistics. Use the results in the Session Window to support your response. Then add to your discussion with the information you learn when completing Step 3.

Step 3: Minitab and Graphs

You will now look at graphing. Select the Ribbon at the top titled “Graph,” then select “Histogram,” and then select “Simple.” Choose one of the variables and select “Ok”. You can create other Histogram graphs by choosing different variables. You can also choose from the other ten graph choices shown on the Graph ribbon. Remember you can use the left navigation column to access your work.
