Steel Wheels is struggling in delivering data to the right people at the right time to facilitate the decision-making process and align key objectives and business processes to the organization’s strategy. To overcome these challenges, Steel Wheels needs a BI tool/application suite that offers flexibility in reporting and analysis for the different BI stakeholders and users in the organization. As the BI Manager, create a formal BI Roster. This BI Roster should identify and consolidate the various BI stakeholders and users of the proposed BI solution in Steel Wheels. The roster should include the type of BI user, the role of the user in the BI program and in the organization, and the type of BI tool that they will use. This roster should include the purpose of the various BI tools and how users will use these tools in Steel Wheels to facilitate the decision-making process. The roster should also include a description of the business need for the BI tool (why they need the BI tool?). Use the provided BI Roster Tool to create your BI Roster.

Assignment 3: Calculating Return on Investment
One of the challenges within training and development is providing decision makers with the bottom-line outlook regarding the programs of discussion. Leaders often wonder how much a training or development program will cost and what the short term or long-term impact will be of the training program. Practicing the skills needed to determine return on investment (ROI) and then presenting that to leadership is important for individuals in the field of training and development. For this assignment, you will read a brief scenario and calculate the return on investment (ROI) following the directions below.
Scenario:
Big Box Stores implemented a training program to increase sales of tools and other home improvement items in their stores in one region of the U.S. The training focused on enhancing displays of items needed for common home improvement projects and encouraging cross-selling of tools needed by customers to do the project. The training was a two-hour distance learning class originated from the corporate training complex to one-hundred employees at fifteen store locations in the southeast region. The employees earn an average of $12 per hour, with benefits being an additional 25% of salary. Sales in the home improvement departments at these fifteen store locations combined averaged $6,000 per week before the training and $7,500 per week after the training. Other costs involved in the program included:
Instructor wages: $8,000 (Only one instructor used)
Instructor benefits: 25% of salary
Distance learning costs (equipment and usage fees): $5,000
Materials: $60 per trainee
Directions:
Compute the return on investment (ROI) for this training program for one year and provide your computations.
Describe how you computed return on investment (ROI).
Determine what additional data you would want to have to assess the return on investment (ROI) for this type of training program and explain why return on investment (ROI) is so important to a business.
Explain why it is important to know the return on investment (ROI) in the initial phase of training and development, prior to establishing a contract.

In Assignment 2, you have created a project plan / network by way of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). It is now the time to turn your attention to execution and control. The term “control” refers to monitoring the project allowing for assessing the progress and preparing the status report at any desirable interval / time.

Imagine that you have decided to open a small ice cream stand on campus called “Ice-Campusades.” You are very excited because you love ice cream (delicious!) and this is a fun way for you to apply your business and economics skills! Here is the first month’s scenario–you order the same number (and the same variety) of ice creams each day from the ice cream suppliers, and your ice creams are always marked at $1.50 each. However, you notice that there are days when ice creams remain unsold but other days when there are not enough ice creams for the number of customers.
Use your knowledge of the factors that cause shifts in demand, and in a multi-paragraph essay, provide at least three reasons why ice cream sales fluctuate in this manner. (Apply only the factors you think are applicable to explaining this scenario.) Now assume that a month later, the school allows a competing student the right to sell ice creams on school property. (The number of students on campus remains largely unchanged.) What do you think will happen to the price of ice cream at your campus? Explain in detail.
Develop a response that includes examples and evidence to support your ideas, and which clearly communicates the required message to your audience. Organize your response in a clear and logical manner as appropriate for the genre of writing. Use well-structured sentences, audience-appropriate language, and correct conventions of standard American English.
Excellent work in this paper, especially in APA format and paragraph development. You have good initial research. I suggest adding more explanation of the research – Why is the research important? What is the significance of the research? This will help to provide more perspective of the research. Also, take a look at the paragraphs and try to create better flow from sentence to sentence using transitionary phrases. Here is a website to assist with transitions: https://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-tools/trans…
