COURSEWORK 2024

Assignment format

The Group Project Presentation is one video consisting of:

1. 10 – 11 minutes (50% of EFIMM0144)

Assignment deadlines

Group Project Presentation deadline is Tuesday, 10th Dec at 1pm

Mode of submission

The link to the video should be submitted to the submission points with the EFIMM0144 Contribution Statement for the video.

This assessment is assessing the following unit learning outcomes:

1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the role of quantitative analysis in generating value from data.

2. Apply basic statistical techniques to business and management problems.

3. Use a variety of visual models to represent statistical results in the presentation

4. Use Excel for data analysis and explain in the presentation

Assignment:

Kheirat is a company that sells skincare products all over Asia. The company has designated geographic sales territories, each the responsibility of a single sales representative who services a number of retail outlets within their territory. The company wants to find out which factors influence the quantity of sold units and the impact each factor has on sales. For this, a random sample of 100 sales territories of the firm’s sales organisation was drawn. Information was collected on the number of units of the product sold, along with values for seven possible predictor variables, in each territory.

Sales of the skincare products (in units sold) were hypothesised to be a function of the following variables:

1. Promotion expenditures are the related costs that incurred from advertising and promotional activities (Promotion expenditures; in $);.

2. The duration for which the territory’s sales representative has been working with the company (Representative tenure in month).

3. The percentage of the territory’s market potential that the company has captured (Market penetration rate in %)

4. The total sales volume of products in the same category within the territory (Territory sales).

5. The number of retails stores the sales representative is responsible for in the territory (Number of stores covered).

6. The average rating given by customers in the territory (Customer satisfaction score).

7. The number of interactions between the sales representative and top management (Executive interactions).

The Excel spreadsheet “QAM CW DATASET 2024.xlsx” contains data for the 100 sample sales territories.

Requirement and Format:

You are tasked to conduct the data analysis to provide the CEO with insights about what drives or predicts sales. For this, you should write a summary of your findings and make recommendations for the company, in management/nontechnical terms, so the CEO knows what to focus the company’s attention on.

The CFO has also announced their interest in your findings because they are hoping for a mathematical model to predict future sales. Unlike the CEO, the CFO is a bit of a statistics whizz and will critically examine your analysis and assumptions.

Start with the summary of the findings and recommendations arising from your analysis. This is aimed at the CEO, so it has to go first, as they won’t read the rest of the report. The summary and recommendations to the CEO should constitute the main part of the presentation first use easy understanding language.

The second part of the report, which could be the technical appendix, should demonstrate and explain all the steps you have taken in your analysis, the obtained model of what drives sales, and which assumptions you have made and tested. Remember this needs to be statistically accurate, as the CFO will examine it critically and might recommend scrapping your results to the CEO if they do not trust your procedure. This part presentation must include tables and graphs with some relevant explanation.

The project presentation should include the following sections:

Overall summary of the presentation report.

Report to the CEO part, including the findings and recommendation.

Report to the CFO part, including the method used to evaluate the impact of variables in the prediction sales analysis, model validation or assumption test.

You will be assessed on:

• The correctness of your models and statistical analysis

• The correctness and details in your interpretations of ALL the output

• The clarity of the interpretation of your analysis for management’s (CEO)

understanding

• The structure and presentation style. of the report

• Recommendations arising from the analysis and suggestions for future work

• Conducting any relevant extended analysis beyond the basic brief (especially

if based on your own independent reading with relevant sources)
