Benchmark – Ethical Behavior of Business Students at Bo Diddley Tech
“During the global recession of 2008 and 2009, there were many accusations of unethical behavior by Wall Street executives, financial managers, and other corporate officers. At that time, an article appeared that suggested that part of the reason for such unethical business behavior may have stemmed from the fact that cheating had become more prevalent among business students, according to a February 10, 2009, article in the Chronicle of Higher Education. The article reported that 56% of business students admitted to cheating at some time during their academic career as compared to 47% of nonbusiness students.
Cheating has been a concern of the dean of the College of Business (COB) at Bo Diddley Tech (BDT) for several years. Some faculty members believe that cheating is more widespread at BDT than at other universities, whereas other faculty members think that cheating is not a major problem in the College of Business. To begin to address these issues, the dean of COB commissioned a study to assess the current ethical behavior of business students at BDT. As a former college athlete herself, the dean believed that the spirit of fair play students developed as part of participating in athletics would make them less likely to cheat.
As part of this study, an anonymous exit survey was administered to a sample of 1,440 students from this year’s graduating class, half of whom were business students and half of whom were not. The survey asked various questions, including the student’s college (business or nonbusiness) and if the student was an athlete or a nonathlete. Responses of the various questions were fed into a computer algorithm (advance data analytics) that made a quantitative determination as to whether the student should be considered a “”cheater”” or not. The results are in the attached Excel spreadsheet, “”Overview – Benchmark – Ethical Behavior of Business Students at Bo Diddley Tech.”” Utilize the data set in the Excel spreadsheet and select a randomized 100-unit sample from the original 1,440 exit surveys.
You will use the DCOVAS framework. Reference readings in The Statistician In You: Simple Everyday Life-Hacks (TSIY).”
The intent of this assignment is to organize your data using a pivot table, get a graphical understanding of the data through a bar chart, then do hypothesis testing comparing Bo Diddley Tech results versus the national average.
· Define the problem.
· Collect data from the appropriate source(s).
· Organize data using tables.
· Visualize data using a chart or graph.
· Analyze data using a tool and/or calculation(s).
· Solution: Provide a conclusion and solution.
The intent of this assignment is to organize your data using a pivot table, get a graphical understanding of the data through a bar chart, then do hypothesis testing comparing Bo Diddley Tech results versus the national average.
***Note: First, sort the data from smallest to largest to change the order of the dataset.***
All of your analysis should be done in the “Student_BM” tab of this spreadsheet and submitted as part of the assignmemt. The locations where the pivot table, bar chart, and relevant information should be placed in the Student_BM tab are indicated by RED instructions. Copy the first 100 data points including the labels of Column D, E, and F. Paste data in Student_BM Worksheet
Column G is a random number field and will keep changing.
Once completed, the “Student_BM” tab will serve as the basis for writing your management report. It is expected that any conclusions you draw in the management report will be consistent with the data and analyses contained in the spreadsheet.
Instructions for Data Analysis Component:
1. Make a pivot table with “Business Student” (Rows), “Athlete” (Rows), “Cheated” (Columns), and “Cheated” (Summed Value).
2. Create a bar chart showing cheating by athletes and business students.
3. Determine whether there is a statistical difference between nonathlete BDT business students and the national average for business students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education (test for a proportion).
4. Determine whether there is a statistical significance to business athlete students at BDT cheating less than the national average for business students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education (test for a proportion).
5. Determine whether there is a statistical difference between BDT business students and the national average for business students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education. (test for a proportion).
6. Determine whether there is a statistical difference between BDT nonbusiness students and the national average for nonbusiness students as reported by the Chronicle of Higher Education (test for a proportion).
7. Determine whether there is a statistical difference between BDT business student-athletes and nonathletes (test for two sample proportions).
8. Determine whether there is a statistical relationship among the four groups of business athlete students, nonbusiness athlete students, business nonathlete students, and nonbusiness nonathlete students at BDT (chi-square test of independence).
Instructions for Data Interpretation Component:
1. Introduction (define): In your own words, explain why you are providing this report and the problem(s) you are trying to solve.
2. Collect: Describe the data set you used.
3. Organize: Describe your pivot table.
4. Visualize: Include and describe your bar chart and initial perceptions of outcomes.
5. Analyze: Provide a summary of your conclusions based on the four population proportion tests, a two-sample proportion test, and test for independence (refer to Chapter 5.2 in TSIY). Begin with the statement of Ho and Ha and whether it is an upper-, lower-, or 2-tailed test. Use the model results and decide whether to reject Ho using the critical values approach, p-value approach, and confidence interval estimation approach to hypothesis testing. Create a summary table of each the six tests.
6. Ethical Summary: The dean has expressed a concern related to the amount of cheating currently taking place at BDT and has strongly suggested that you “tweak” the statistical data such that they favor the image of the university. Discuss the potential use of unethical manipulation of statistical data to provide a biased outcome as well as the ethical counter proposal you would offer the dean in this scenario.
7. Conclusion: What advice would you give to the dean based upon your analysis of the data? Include your “SummaryResults” table.
8. Reference page: Include at least three references to support the “Ethical Summary” section of your managerial report.

Are states (ultimate) guarantors of their people? In what way?
‘States still remain the ultimate guarantor of individuals. Therefore, states’ security should be accorded the highest priority.’ Discuss.
→ you can choose either the region as a whole, or you can focus on a specific country in the AsiaPacific region. By Asia-Pacific, I mean Northeast and Southeast Asia—it does NOT include Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, and the Indian Subcontinent.

CaseStudy: The 2008 Anheuser-Busch Inbev Deal
Abstract
In June 2008, Inbev made an unsolicited USD50 billion offer to acquire Anheuser-Busch (AB). The offer was rejected by AB’s board. Inbev’s plans were driven by a general trend of industry consolidation, the declining beer consumption in traditional markets, and the superb geographic fit between both firms. AB fought back and announced its restructuring plans. Law suits were initiated and political issues surfaced as well. Inbev decided to raise its bid and could eventually acquire the target. The acquisition of the US’
most important beer producer by Belgian-Brazilian Inbev offers a comprehensive picture and excellent description of the numerous facets, challenges and issues mergers and acquisitions (M&A) bring along.
Case length: 27 pp (10 pp case description, 17 pp exhibits)
Questions/discussion points
1. What, in your analysis, was (were) the main motive(s) for the takeover from the acquirer’s (i.e. Inbev’s) point of view?
2. What was (were) the main rationale(s) for resisting the takeover on the part of the target (i.e. Anheuser-Busch)? What takeover defenses were used, and was the bid really hostile (why/why not)?
3. In your analysis, what were the main governance/control issues and potential conflicts of interest
• in the target firm prior to the takeover?
• in the merged firm post-takeover?
4. What were the financial implications (capital structure, financial flexibility) of the deal for the acquirer?
5. Timing-wise, was Inbev right to push the deal through, despite the adverse market conditions? Could the deal have been postponed?
6. Would it have been a viable alternative for Anheuser-Busch to remain independent?
HooT
Can you do this project soon
The project is an electronic application called HooT. A logo must be created
The project is a platform and an electronic application through which the best reservation price (hotels – flights) can be offered by conducting a direct auction at the best price through tourism companies and reservations anywhere in the world, and hotel and airline reservations can enter the competition by offering the best prices.
Working mechanisms of the platform:
- Section for individuals (potential clients)
- Section for companies (service providers)
The goal of the project:
Customers or travelers will get the best price if there is a desire to travel through this program and this program will solve the following problems:
Prices will be lower than competing websites
- Save time and effort in searching continuously in case you want to travel for days and hours, as well as solving the problem of visiting tourism and travel companies and getting offers that may be inappropriate
- Providing scope for small and medium tourism companies to collectively enter into competition with major companies and the client benefactor
- Providing a discount rate that exceeds a minimum (2%) from any website and other application. The service is provided by the site administration under the agreement.
Website work steps
1. The traveler or the customer:
- The customer creates an account on the site or application by registering through one of the following channels (Google – Facebook) or direct registration with his e-mail.
- After registration, the customer makes an addition to the travel plan he wants, for example (room – hotel stars -name of Hotel – view – airlines – price – cities – budget – Person – times – days…etc)
Note: The offer is sent without specifying the name of the supplier, only if he makes a reservation, the data of the tourism company that made the reservation will be sent to the customer, the contact number and direct mail
But the customer’s request will be presented to him with all his requirements, choices and the right price appropriate for the customer
2. Companies and service providers:
The companies register on the site through the site management after signing the agreement between the two parties and agreeing to the terms of work on the site in addition to this after the necessary scrutiny from the site management and ensuring the health of the company and its data and the extent of benefit to our customers.
Companies receive customer requests through the following methods:
- The e-mail in the event of a new customer request or in the event that the customer has obtained a new, better offer only, but without obtaining the reservation details, but only shows them the price that the customer obtained.
- Providers can enter their own page that is opened by the site administration in order to choose the appropriate opportunities for them to present their offers and also follow up on their previous offers and submit new offers if possible
- Advertisements on the site or offers from companies for the platform or the percentage of discounts offered on the site.
- Purchases through the site at 1% of the total amount.
Sources of income:
Steps for making an auction on demand for a client:
- Opening an electronic account on the platform through the individuals section and those wishing to register for travel
- An email or message containing the best offers and best prices will be sent, within a maximum period of 24 hours, with the last auction price.
- In the event of acceptance and the customer’s desire to book and pay, this is done through the system approved in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the payment system (mada – Visa – MasterCard).
- After payment, an email and a text message will be sent containing links to all reservation files, reservations, communication channels, and the person responsible for the customer’s reservation to communicate directly between them.
- In the event of rejection, companies can submit new offers to the customer via e-mail.
