Create an executive summary document outlining the entire outsourcing and contracting process for those business processes that you decide to outsource. Your analysis must include the items below. It must include an analysis on which business processes you would outsource versus those that you would maintain in-house. You need to justify your decision for each business process maintained in-house or outsourced (e.g., accounting, editorial, photography, publishing, distribution, printing, layout, advertising, editing, articles, etc.). For those services that you intend to outsource, provide the following. Establish the preliminary performance targets and level of service that will be required from the selected vendors. Establish the type of contract that you will use for each contract (i.e., fixed, cost-plus, reimbursable, unit). Determine the evaluation criteria that you will use to select the preferred vendor(s) (e.g., low price, best value, etc.). Are there different evaluation criteria for different business units? Why? Identify the number of vendors that you will select to provide the services that will be outsourced (i.e., one vendor for all services versus individual vendors with specific expertise in each of the services to be outsourced). Construct a time line that summarizes the bid activities and time duration for each contracting process (i.e., plan purchases and acquisition through select sellers)

In your own words, explain what corporate social responsibility (CSR) is. Name two examples of social responsible companies you know and explain why you consider them so.  We learned that CSR can be viewed as a pyramid with Philanthropic Responsibilities at the top. Discuss what particular advantages accrue to companies who proactively take steps to be philanthropically responsible.

The data attached contains information on customers’ ratings of your product (CustRate), on a scale of 1 to 100, along with demographic information. The demographic information includes: income (Inc), age (Age), education (Educ), and marital status (Marr). The last variable equals one if the respondent is married and zero otherwise. Assume the data-generating process can be written as:CustRatei=α+β1Inci+β2Agei+β3Educi+β4Marri+Ui.Test the hypothesis that income has no impact on customer rating, using a confidence level of 95%. Be sure to provide the reasoning behind your result.Test the hypothesis that β2=0.05, using a confidence level of 90%. Be sure to provide the reasoning behind your result.Build a 95% confidence interval for the impact of education on customer rating. Be sure to provide the reasoning for your result.Build a 95% confidence interval for the impact of being married on customer rating. Be sure to provide the reasoning for your result.Predict the change in customer rating if a customer’s income increases by $10,000, with no change in age, education, or marital status.
