Read FirstChoose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.Option #1: Determination of Critical Path of the Project Use the following table to calculate duration (round to 0 decimal places) ID TASK NAME Optimistic Most likely Pessimistic Precedence Duration 1 First 1 2 4 2 Second 3 5 10 1 3 Third 9 11 13 2 4 Fourth 3 5 6 3,8,9 5 Fifth 6 7 8 4,11 6 Sixth 5 6 8 1 7 Seventh 3 5 8 6 8 Eighth 1 2 5 7 9 Ninth 1 3 5 6 10 Tenth 4 5 6 9,8 11 Eleventh 3 4 5 10 12 Twelfth 4 5 6 11 13 Done 0 0 0 5,12 Use Activity on Node to construct a network activity diagram with the preceding table. ES Task LS EF Dur LF Use the forward and backward pass method to calculate project duration, based on the assumption that the expected duration of each activity can be calculated using the following formula: Expected Duration = (Pessimistic Duration + 4 x Most Likely Duration + Optimistic Duration)/6. Include slack on the arrows and identify the critical path(s) and burst and merge activities.Evaluate the finished project and write a review of your analysis and how you completed each step. Include the completed table and your AON diagram in your paperYour response should be integrated in a well-written paper that meets the following requirements:Be 2-3 pages in length plus graphical elements, placing these graphical elements in an appendix,Be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to APA and Writing Requirements (Links to an external site.), andInclude two scholarly sources from the CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.).Option #2: The PERT Method Using past course texts, current suggested readings, and other scholarly resources, write an overview of PERT analysis and calculate the critical path based on a recent project that you have participated in.The review of the PERT analysis should include the following:Define PERT and why it is used.Differentiate between activity on Node and Activity on Arrow.Define the forward and backward pass method for calculating critical path.Define burst, merge, and slack.The PERT analysis of your project should include your appendices with a WBS, and network diagram with forward and backward pass calculated according to the following specifications:An initial WBS of your project that has no less than 4-5 Major tasks,Each major task should have several subtasks,Calculate the critical path, andIdentify any tasks that have slack.(Include slack on the arrows and identify the critical path(s) and burst and merge activities.)Lastly, conclude with a summary of importance of PERT and Critical Path analysis in project management.Your paper should meet the following requirements:Be 3 pages (minimum) in length,Be formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to APA and Writing Requirements (Links to an external site.), andInclude two scholarly sources from the CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.). "Current" means published in the most recent 5 year period. "Scholarly" means peer-reviewed journal articles, and may also include the textbook and PMBOK Guide.

Data Analysis Results and Recommendations This is part three of the Data Analysis Project and will be incorporated into the final assignment. Please review the elements needed for the final data analysis report in Unit 9. This section will discuss the results, recommendations, limitations, and executive summary. For this assignment, you will evaluate the data for your organization, report the results, make recommendations, discuss the limitations of the data, and summarize the entire paper. Results (three pages including charts or graphs): Analyze your data by summarizing participant variables and presenting totals for the variables. For example, how many are of which gender, race, religion, homeless, and whatever applies. Include the following: In the results sections, create charts, pie graphs, or other graphs to represent the data. Formative Evaluation. Look at the program that already exists for your topic and decide whether the new program you desire supports or improves the existing program. Break down the variables into subcategories and analyze how those subcategories are different. Discuss how the data you found impacts the issue you are researching. Create possible questions to ask yourself regarding the data. Note: If you are using the Riverbend City media example, you may project reasonable data variables. Limitations (one page): Discuss limitations of the results of your available data to solve your issue. In the limitations section, discuss the limitation of the data and if there is a problem generalizing it to other organizations. Explain whether the data you see is representative of the specific population involved with your chosen problem or issue. Further, discuss whether the data is representative of the general population. For example, would you see the same data for another agency? Recommendations (1–2 pages): Propose recommendations for an organization regarding an identified problem. In the recommendations section, you make suggestions for the organization, which will move the organization forward using the data to support the recommendations. Discuss what needs to change immediately versus long term. Explain how your data will best support your budget to make the change. Identify grants and funds from your sources. Analyze effective communication methods and practices to effectively interpret your data to diverse internal and external stakeholders. Executive Summary (two double-spaced pages): Create an efficient and effective executive summary analysis, using your chosen data so internal and external stakeholders can make decisions for your organization in an efficient and effective manner. Complete the following for the analysis: State an overview analysis. Describe the findings. Suggest what executive decisions would help to solve the problem. Describe what your agency does well. Note: In Unit 9 this Executive Summary will be in the beginning.

There is a certain amount of risk involved in doing business anywhere, internationally. Chose a country, and discuss the following:What are the political, cultural, environmental, economic, and trade risks present when doing business in the country as an outsider?What type of business would you do there in light of the risks?For example, would it be labor or capital intensive?Would it be a manufacturing or distribution center, etc.?Would it be a representative office or a full-fledged operation?Why should you as a manager be concerned with all this?
