The Critical Thinking Project case study can be found in the content section of the class website. You can start working on the case study whenever you like. Deposit your analysis in the assignment dropbox.
Please note that the Critical Thinking Project (CTP) is not meant to be a number crunching exercise. Read the case study and pretend that you are the manager or a research consultant and must assign duties to people to solve the problems that the company is facing. What would you have others do? What quantitative tools would you assign people to use to help in making decisions and why? Be creative. There is no one right answer. In other words, how would you utilize the quantitative tools that you have learned in the class to help this company?
Furthermore, I am not concerned about any particular format for the Critical Thinking Project (CTP). I am more concerned about the content and your ideas and creative and critical thought. However, an objective of the AACSB accreditation process requires that students “demonstrate proficient use of current communication technologies to gather, organize, transmit and present information in a manner that enhances business processes and productivity”. Therefore, I am asking that you present your findings and recommendations in a power point presentation. A simple 8-10 PPt’s slide presentation should be sufficient. Please see the “Dropbox” section on the class website for exact dates and times for submission.
