BUS 310,

Instructions:

Review the Case Study 8.2 in your Textbook (pg. 361): Employee Retention at D&Y. The data file for this case study is 310case_study1.xlsx. Read the description in the textbook. Use Excel to calculate the requested confidence intervals. Create a PowerPoint presentation of your analysis. You are being invited to present your results to the Board of Directors. You should have at least one slide for each confidence interval calculation, and include an interpretation in the context of the study. You may supplement with graphs if you feel that will help. Give a tentative interpretation of the results taken together. Describe and additional data that may need to be collected to improve the answer to the Board’s question. Provide other supporting documentation with proper citations in APA format. Your PowerPoint should be a minimum of 12 slides, and follow the 5x5 rule (or 6x6). You can add additional text to the notes, but slides should be brief and viewable across the room.

Submit your PowerPoint, and any supporting calculations in Excel, to Blackboard. Save your file as Last Name and CS#2.

Points

Purpose

Notes

5

12 slides

More than 12 slides is fine, though more than 20 is starting to be excessive. For each slide under 15, subtract a point up to 5. Use discretion penalizing for excessive slides

3

Citations in APA format

Citations should generally exist and be properly formatted. Students need not cite the textbook.

5

Follows 5x5 rule

Slides should not have too much text on them, and should be readable from across the room. 6x6 or 7x7 is okay from time-to-time, that is okay. If they use 10x13, that is way too much text on a slide.

5

Solution to problem

Reasoning should be clear and easy to follow. Students should present Excel calculations in slides and provide attached Excel spreadsheet for those calculations. Student should provide next steps and tentative recommendation.

2

Visual presentation

Students are not required to provide graphics, slide transitions or other effects, but they were cautioned against the slides being too boring. They should have a theme or other elements to break up the plain-text look. Graphs can be used here.
