CXU_WK6_Dis: Bryson (2018) describes the importance of understanding the strategic issue agenda in strategic planning. As a public administrator or nonprofit manager, for example, you might ask yourself the following questions: How does the strategic issue affect the completion of a plan or project? Will the strategic issue require changes to the organization’s mission or mandate? From your experience, identify a strategic issue using one of the eight approaches in Chapter 7 of the Bryson text. Write an analysis of a strategic issue and its impact on the completion of a plan or project. Explain why you chose this particular approach. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources. CXU_WK6_Ass: Strategy may be conceived as the end product of purpose, policies, programs, projects, actions, decisions, or resource allocation, that define what an organization (or community) is, what it does, and why it does it (Bryson, 2011). This week, your task is to identify specific requirements of public sector planning for the Revitalizing Masachapa Project, identifying strategic issues facing the town’s government authorities. To prepare for this Assignment: Review Week 6 information in the Virtual City: Revitalizing Masachapa Project multimedia. Review Chapters 6–7 in Bryson (2018). Consider the relationship between identifying a strategic issue and developing a strategy for the organization or community. The Assignment (3–4 pages): Identify one strategic issue facing the community of Masachapa in its RMP. Using one of the approaches provided in Bryson (2018): Identify the strategic issue Describe the approach chosen to identify this issue. Explain why this approach is appropriate for the RMP. Develop a strategy for the town of Masachapa’s RMP. Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. Use APA style for this and all assignments.

Submit your response in an MS Word document or Pdf after inserting the results from SPSS Output into your document. This exercise utilizes the data set schools-a.sav, which can be downloaded from data sources referenced below http://www.routledge.com/9781138289734You are interested in investigating if being above or below the median income (medloinc) impacts ACT means (act94) for schools. Complete the necessary steps to examine univariate grouped data in order to respond to the questions below. Although deletions and/or transformations may be implied from your examination, all steps will examine original variables.How many participants have missing values for medloinc and act94?Is there a severe split in frequencies between groups?What are the cutoff values for outliers in each group?Which outlying cases should be deleted for each group?Analyzing histograms, normal Q-Q plots, and tests of normality, what is your conclusion regarding normality? If a transformation is necessary, which one would you use?Do the results from Levene’s test for equal variances indicate homogeneity of variance? Explain.You are interested in studying predictors (math94me, loinc93, and read94me) of the percentage graduating in 1994 (grad1994).Examine univariate normality for each variable. What are your conclusions about distributions? What transformation should be conducted?After making the necessary transformations, examine multivariate outliers using Mahalanobis distance. What cases should be deleted?After deleting the multivariate outliers, examine multivariate normality and linearity by creating a Scatterplot Matrix.Examine the variables for homoscedasticity by creating a residuals plot (standardized vs. predicted values). What are your conclusions about homoscedasticity?
