What is the foundation of effective energy planning, and what makes it so critical/vital to success?

Criteria:

• Q1. (200 words) What is the foundation of effective energy planning, and what makes it so critical/vital to success?

• Q2. (100 words) Summarize the US Department of Energy’s Lithium Battery initiative. What is the problem being addressed?

• Q3. (125 words) Using concepts from Levy, provide an analysis of the proposed plan to address the initiative. What are its pros and cons?

• Q4. (125 words) Using support from the textbook and articles, provide TWO recommendations for improvements to the plan.

What is the context? Give us some basic information about the organisation, what it is, where it operates, some information on the structure and environment and whatever is relevant to outline and identify the problem.

Here are some questions you can use to make sure you are going in the right direction. You should pick one (or many) of the questions below to start developing your thoughts on the individual assignment.

What is going on? Describe the problem. Ensure that the problem is framed as a Leadership problem (i.e. not an high staff turnover, or an operational problem or marketing problem or a human resource management problem etc.).

For whom is it a problem for i.e., for you, for your group, your line manager, your department, your firm?

List some of the symptoms of the problem so we can see that the problem exists. For example, open conflict, high staff turnover, absenteeism, poor or low morale, group or team conflict, management of change issues related to new projects, new premises, new clients, new boss, etc.

What is the context? Give us some basic information about the organization, what it is, where it operates, some information on the structure and environment and whatever is relevant to outline and identify the problem. Sufficiently detailed so that an outsider can understand what was going on.

Analyze the limitations of the statistical test and/or possible alternative explanations for your results.

For this assessment, you will complete an SPSS data analysis report using a one-way ANOVA for assigned variables.

You’re starting to learn some important information about your data, but you still want to know more. It’s time for a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Unlike t-tests, which only allow for comparisons of two groups, ANOVA will allow you to examine potential group differences for variables with multiple levels.

You can do some reading on how to apply your knowledge of ANOVA and run some analyses in SPSS:

The Course Study Guide [PDF] highlights content to focus on as you read and absorb the materials. You may also find some additional articles with direct relevance to your field here.
In this assessment, you will apply your understanding of the one-way ANOVA to the SPSS data set.
Complete the following for this assessment:For this assessment, you will use the Data Analysis and Application Template (DAA Template [DOC]).

For help copying SPSS output into your DAA, review the Copy/Export Output Instructions [HTML].

For information on the data set, you may find the Data Set Instructions [DOC] helpful.
Refer to the 7864 Course Study Guide for information on analyses and interpretation.

This assessment is on ANOVA. You will analyze the following variables in the grades

Name the variables used in this analysis and whether they are categorical or continuous.

State a research question, null hypothesis, and alternate hypothesis for the analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Step 2: Write Section 2 of the DAA: Testing Assumptions

Interpret the Shapiro-Wilk test and how you determined whether the assumption of normality was met or violated.

Report the means and standard deviation of quiz3 for each group of the section variable.

Report the results of the F-test and interpret the statistical results against the null hypothesis and state whether it is accepted or rejected.

Finally, if the F is significant, interpret the post-hoc tests (multiple comparisons).

Provide a brief summary of your analysis and the conclusions drawn about this ANOVA.

Analyze the limitations of the statistical test and/or possible alternative explanations for your results.
Analyze how you might use this statistical approach in your field for study.

Name an independent variable (the IV should have three or more groups/categories) and dependent variable that would work for such an analysis and why studying it may be important to the field of practice.
Submit your DAA Template as an attached Word document in the assessment area.
Software

The following statistical analysis software is required to complete your assessments in this course:
IBM SPSS Statistics Standard or Premium GradPack, version 24 or higher, for PC or Mac.
