I currently work as the Accounting Manager of a four star hotel in my town. One opportunity for data analysis in a hotel is the analysis of guest reviews and survey responses. While at my current job, past hotel jobs, and I am sure most other hotels, reviews are always read and responded to, I think much more analysis of reviews would be beneficial. If I were the director of research and analytics I would begin by collecting all of the data regarding our hotel reviews. This would included our internal surveys, and social media reviews that are public. We would want to read all of the reviews and begin to create a data sheet that included the date of stay, the room type, the rate, the problem the guest had and/or the positive feedback. From this data we would want to analyze any trends that occur. Sorting the data by problem type would show if the problem occurs over time or on a specific date range — maybe it only occurs on Thursdays, we can then see which employees always work on Thursdays. This type of detailed analysis would allow the hotel to dig deeper into the problems that cause them to loose future guests and revenue, and begin fixing the issues so that the problems don’t continue to happen.

Discussion Question 8

 Andrew Cassidy 8/15/2014 1:51:10 PM
 

Theory of change is something that has building blocks in order to reach a long-term goal.  The inter-changing building blocks are outcomes, results, accomplishments or preconditions that help towards the pathway of change in building the framework.  Theory of change is based off inventions in the outcomes towards a specific pathway.  This pathway is often a complex design that is designed to bring about change.  Stakeholders in the Theory of Change discuss the changing process and the framework established as a result of change.  The results reveal assumptions that are evaluated through research which are strengthened through goals that are plausible.  Stakeholders understand the vision of long-term goals.  Measuring the progress along the way will help identify the likelihood of the pathway that they will travel down.  Theory of change refers to strategic planning, decision-making and evaluation.  Indicators will measure the success and generate action in order to reach goals.  Specific instructions are needed in order to achieve goals.  Articulating the decisions have to be tested and measured thoroughly.  Theory of change is map to get you from point A to point B. 

Some is that might prompt this dynamic are that the roadmap may be long and take several tries to get to the common goal in mind.  As outputs lead to outcomes, the social value desired should be met.  This map may contain small steps but might have many along the way in order achieve your designated goal in mind.  After a step, do a reflection on the achieved results desired.  As you progress in your theory of change model then make sure your illustrations visualize your end goal.  Your design is set against other people’s behaviors. 

As a chief, one must deal with the perception of the public as this theory of change progresses.  It almost seems as if there is a partnership between the public and police officers.  This concept directs how tasks are to be completed by the police instead of empowering them.  The chief needs to make sure there is a shared vision that sees the big picture and deal with issues that think strategically towards the public.

Arson unit 1 discussion board 1 7/22/14

/in /by

 

The Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.

 

At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Wednesday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Wednesday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.

 

The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.

 

You are the lead investigator for a suspicious fire in the Novandon Fur Warehouse, which was cold storage for mink and sable fur coats. The fire scene investigative team tells you that the fire started in several points simultaneously, and it appears the telephone line that monitors the fire detection equipment has been cut. The fire was fully involved by the time the fire department arrived. The warehouse and the contents are a complete loss. You must consider the direction that your investigators must take to determine the possible motives for this fire. Direct them to look in at least 3 directions for a motive. Keep in mind the type of warehouse this was.

 

  • Concerning the owner of the warehouse, what documentation would you get to help you establish potential motives? Why?
  • When interviewing the owner of the warehouse, what specific threats might you ask about? Why?
    • How would the owner’s responses be helpful? Explain.
