Methods and skill for Social Analysis and Statistics

The post has two assignmnets

1:Methods and skill for Social Analysis and Statistics

Main focus on describe the skill, methods (Like using graphs …) and what kind of resources may need to be used in research ‘’What can you discover about the socio-economic, health and age status of the population in the area?’’

write a plan (focus on describe the skill, methods and what kind of resources may need to be used in research)and it should be a word document, that explains:
• Your assumed rationale for setting up the medical centre and the criteria that will be used in order to select the best location
• The sources you are using to find information that will be relevant to making the decision and reasons for their use

My part main focus on describe the skill, methods (Like using graphs …) and what kind of resources may need to be used in research ‘’What can you discover about the socio-economic, health and age status of the population in the area?’’
Find some reliable resource and details of the data you will download from ABS Tablebuilder and other
sources and reasons why you are choosing it

Research Topic
What is the best location for the new Health4u medical centre? (this paper do not need to give specific location, just focus on describe the skill, methods and what kind of resources may need to be used when you do that research)
The center will offer weekday and after-hours services provided by general practitioner
doctors and a pharmacy.

2:Tactical issues in portfolio management

1. Consider an important high-risk project in your life. (e.g. building your career, surviving in high school, finding true love)
a. Why is it high risk?
b. Did it undergo a transition from “playing poker” to “playing chess”? If so, describe briefly. If not, how not and why not? Is the “why not” interesting?
c. Were there key decision points that punctuated the journey? How well do you think you managed them?
d. Have you had a high-risk project that “failed at the gate”. Why/how did it fail?
remember that at least one classmate will see your answers!

2. For the same high-risk project (or a different one):
a. Describe its risk profile over time.
b. Describe its uncertainty profile over time.
c. Describe how it changed your capabilities. Did it change them in the way you expected?
d. Was it strategically wise? If not, why not?
e. Was it a worthwhile/valuable project?
3. Do your answers teach you anything about yourself?
4. Do your answers teach you anything about the environment in which you’ve been operating?

5.4 Evaluating Projects (2):https://vimeo.com/179116360/973a5d804a
1. Think a time you have engaged in “project evaluation” of a high ambiguity project with a friend. (e.g. deciding whether to continue a relationship, deciding whether to send your child to boarding school). Alternatively, think about a time you’ve seen it on TV or in a movie.
a. How does your process compare with the one described in the video?
b. How do you explain the differences?
2. And for a low ambiguity case:
a. How does your process compare with the one described in the video?
b. How do you explain the differences?

1. Does the video on killing projects make you think you’ll do some things differently in future? What?
