Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Analyze quantitative and qualitative data to solve problems and make decisions that impact organizations and their stakeholders
Scenario
You have been asked to present your data findings and decision-making
modeling to the leadership panel for feedback prior to the stakeholder
meeting presentation. The panel wants to preview the charts and graphs
that will be included in your presentation based on the research you
have conducted. They would like to see how you will use the data to
inform your recommendation, and how you will tell the story of that
data.
Directions
Part 1: Using the research gathered in Project One, create a visualization for each of the following, then summarize what the data is showing about:
The current state of the U.S. automotive manufacturing industry
Sales by fuel type (electric, hybrid, gas)
Current automotive industry trends
The trend toward different types of motors for the vehicles being made and sold, such as electric and hybrid
Trends in customer demands such as vehicle color, extra features, and styles
Trends in the body types of vehicles sold (SUVs, trucks, sedans)
Trends in the chosen industry
Expected growth areas
Sales by type of products or services offered
Trends in customer demands
Then, provide a summary of all of the data visualized.
Summarize the collective data about both industries as a whole.
Determine what the data is not telling you about the chosen industry.
Part 2: Analyze three decision making models and select the one model that is best suited for making your decision.
Analyze and provide an overview of the following three models and select one for use. Resources are listed in the Supporting Materials section.
The Rational Model
The Intuitive Model
The Recognition-Primed Model
Explain your choice of decision-making model.
Why does your selection make the most sense for this project?

“The O.J. Simpson Trial: Examining the Most Compelling Factors in the Acquittal” “The OJ Simpson Trial: A Case of Race, Conspiracy, and Contaminated Evidence”
The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story
What was most responsible?
OJ Simpson was found not guilty by a jury of his peers for the murder of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. There are a lot of people who disagreed with the verdict reached, but the jury made the decision it did. There are 3 parts to this culminating assignment.
A. Outline
You will be responsible for putting together an outline as if you are writing at least a five- paragraph essay, with a strong thesis analyzing, what was most responsible for the acquittal of OJ Simpson? You need to choose any three very specific aspects of the case. Why were those the most compelling reasons that he was found not guilty? Consider the actions of the defense, the prosecution, the judge, the jury and the media in your reasoning.
Feel free to research outside of the series. You should have an outline complete in Times New Roman, double-spaced, 12 font and your outline should include the following:
1. provide a quick summary of the case and write a thesis statement about what was most responsible.
2. 1st body paragraph- analyze one aspect of his case (with pieces of evidence)
3. 2nd body paragraph- analyze another important aspect of his case (with pieces of
specific 4.
evidence)
3rd body paragraph- analyze another aspect of his case (with pieces of evidence)
5. Conclusion- Your conclusion should address the idea of innocence, guilt, trials, by jury, inequities in the justice system, etc, on a scale grander than just the OJ trial and discuss if you think he is guilty or not and why, using formal writing ( meaning no 1st/ 2nd person- no I, you, us, we, our)

Title: Reflecting on My Growth as an Academic Writer in This Class
From the professor…
For this assignment, you will turn in a reflective statement that discusses your experience in this class. This assignment is an opportunity to assess how you have improved as an academic writer, and helps you put your semester in perspective. Students are often asked to submit a writing sample when transferring to four-year schools or specific degree programs, so this should help you prepare for that as well.
I’d like you to start by reviewing the letter you wrote to me in the first week of class. Did you achieve your goals, or meet your expectations? Why or why not? After that, you might discuss what you have learned about yourself as a writer this semester, what benefits you have gotten from this class, what you might have done differently, and how you intend to improve your skills in the future. Finally, if you were telling a friend or relative about this class, what advice would you give them?
I’ve given you two examples of reflective statements. One is shorter than it should be; the other example is a little longer than is necessary– try for something in between. As always, this is an academic setting, and I’m not only looking at what you say, but how you say it. -

Title: Developing a Theoretical Framework for Research on the Use of Standardized Nursing Language in Ambulatory Care Nurse Practitioner Practice.
A theoretical framework is a conceptual organization that offers a framework for comprehending and delving into a study issue. It is a collection of ideas, presumptions, and claims that make up a style of thinking about and comprehending a certain reality. The theoretical framework acts as the theoretical framework for the research study and aids in directing the research questions, hypotheses, and research methodologies. A review of the prior literature, including theories, concepts, and empirical investigations pertinent to the research subject, forms the basis for the development of the theoretical framework. Its goal is to give readers a thorough knowledge of the research subject, including its context, significant variables, and interrelationships between those variables. Theoretical frameworks can draw from a single theoretical viewpoint or combine multiple theoretical viewpoints to give.
Developing a theoretical framework for research.
Identify the research issue that currently affects FNP practice. The research problem and the research questions should be stated from the outset. Your theoretical framework’s breadth and focus can be determined with the use of this. Your research interests, the current state of knowledge in your field, and the applicability and significance of the issue to FNP practice must all be taken into account when determining the study challenge.
Develop a PICOT Question.
Review the Literature That Is Relevant: Conduct a thorough analysis of the literature that is pertinent to your research issue. You can use this to find important ideas, theories, and empirical studies that apply to your research. To do your literature evaluation, you must use scholarly databases, search engines, and citation networks. Recent research, particularly ground-breaking works and the most recent developments in your subject, should be covered in the literature review (At least 3 literature review, Please example below).

What are the perceptions of the ambulatory care NP regarding documentation of nursing practice by using standardized nursing language (SNL)?
Organizational framework by Androwich, Bickford, Button, Hunter, Murphy, and Sensmeier (2003). The framework identifies the components of clinical information system (CIS).
Survey questionnaire to a randomized sample (N=1997)
The survey resulted in only 17% respondents use SNL, and 30% believed that SNL is not important to NP documentation practice. The response rate is 35% greater than the 99% confidence level of the sample size.
The recommendation of formal and continuing education programs are needed to current and future NP on the use of SNL as standard documentation in their practice.
Level of Evidence=1
The authors completely answered the hypothesis question.
Determine the Theoretical Perspective: Decide which theoretical perspective will serve as the direction for your research. This could be a specific theoretical framework or a synthesis of different theoretical stances. The theoretical angle that best addresses your research problem and offers the highest explanatory power should be chosen for your study.
5. Conclusion – Refine the Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework should be improved in light of the findings of the empirical investigation. This could entail changing the operational definitions of the variables, the hypotheses, or the conceptual model. You must improve your theoretical framework and add to the body of knowledge in your field by using the findings of your empirical research.
Note: This paper is at least 10-15 pages excluding your title page and references.
