Determine the translation matrices,rotation and transformation for each of the three coordinate systems

The purpose of this exercise is to determine the kinematics.
of the final effector (point P) using the concept of
transformation of rigid bodies in the plane.
Therefore:
a) Determine the translation matrices,
rotation and transformation for each of the three
coordinate systems (base 0 and ends of the
links 1 and 2, shown by axes xiyi, i=0, 1, 2) in
relative to the segment coordinate system
previous (based on global XY, link 1 in
to base, link 2 to link 1).
b) Determine the position of the final effector in the
global coordinate system from matrices
deducted in the previous item.
c) Determine the Jacobian of this string
kinematics and the velocity of the final effector from the
Jacobian.

Comments:
Deliver your solution either as a Jupyter/Colab notebook or as a pdf/image of the writing to the
hand on a sheet of notebook, whatever.
Be careful when choosing angles to define the rotation matrices. Remember you can check
if the calculations are correct comparing with the deduction by trigonometry of the kinematic chain.

Central Limit Theorem

Central Limit Theorem: Finding the smallest sample size. Each group of students will be assigned a set of two probability distributions and, for each of these distributions, you will determine the smallest sample size for which the conditions of the CLT are satisfied. Instructions: For each distribution, you must:
a. Include the command set.seed(value) as the first line in each R script, where value should be replaced by your group number.
b. Simulate 100 samples (𝑚 = 100).
c. Vary the sample size (𝑛 =?) until you find the smallest sample size for which the conditions of the CLT are satisfied.
d. Confirm your choice of 𝑛 by replicating your analysis at least ten times.
e. Justify your selection with the use of probability plots, hypothesis tests, and descriptive statistics.
Deliverables: For each distribution, you must provide:
a. A commented R script (.R or .rmd) file.
b. A minimum of three sets of results:
i. Results for 10 replicates on a sample size smaller than the suggested 𝑛 for which the conditions of the CLT are not yet satisfied. You may include only three of the probability plots and hypothesis tests.
ii. Results for 10 replicates on the suggested 𝑛 for which the conditions of the CLT are satisfied. You may include only three of the probability plots and hypothesis tests.
iii. Results for 10 replicates on a sample size larger than the suggested 𝑛 for which the conditions of the CLT are satisfied. You may include only three of the probability plots and hypothesis tests.
c. A technical report (.pdf) with all outputs and a thorough interpretation of the probability plots, hypothesis tests, and descriptive statistics included in the report.
Hint: For each set of results, it is strongly recommended that you combine the information for the descriptive statistics and the hypothesis tests in a single table, where each row represents the data, you input into your probability plot. You may use the following table format
Hint: Be wary of the output of the specific R function used to calculate kurtosis. You may simulate standard normal data and calculate its kurtosis to better understand whether the output is kurtosis or kurtosis – 3.

How can the success of an organizations risk management be measured?

Reading Material

Opening Thought: From: https://www.workiva.com/blog/5-steps-effective-strategic-risk-managementStrategic risk management is a crucial, but often overlooked, aspect of enter

prise risk management (ERM). Traditionally, ERM has focused on financial and operational risk. However, the fact is that strategic risk is far more consequential. 

What is strategic risk? 

Simply put, strategic risks are risks that a company takes that could potentially result in a major loss. 

A company that has superior and unmatched manufacturing processes will still fail if their consumers no longer want their products. This was the lesson that was learned by even the most efficient buggy whip makers once Henry Ford introduced his Model T in 1908. Cellphone handset manufacturers faced a similar crisis when the Apple^® iPhone^® arrived on the scene.

What is strategic risk management? 

Strategic risk management is the process of identifying, quantifying, and mitigating any risk that affects or is inherent in a company’s business strategy, strategic objectives, and strategy execution. These risks may include: 

• Shifts in consumer demand and preferences
• Legal and regulatory change
• Competitive pressure
• Merger integration
• Technological changes
• Senior management turnover
• Stakeholder pressure

As industry expert James Lam says, strategic risk is the big stuff, and prioritizing strategic risk management means sweating the big stuff first.

Strategic risk is a bell curve

Like any risk, strategic risk falls along a classic bell curve, with results along the x-axis and likelihood along the y-axis. The expected result of a given strategy would represent the peak of this curve. Most strategic planning considers only this peak while ignoring the slopes to either side.

But imagine two strategic initiatives, each with a similar expected result. One falls along a narrow, steep curve, indicating a low risk of failure and little upside opportunity. The other is represented by a wider bell, with greater chances of both under- and over-performance. Which to choose? The answer depends on an individual company’s appetite for risk.

Strategic risk management: shifting the curve

Now imagine a third curve with that same expected result. This one rises steeply from the left but slopes more gently downward on the right. Here, downside risk has been minimized, and upside opportunity increased. That is the goal of strategic risk management: to shape the curve in a way that favors success.

How do you measure and manage strategic risk? 

As the saying goes, you can’t manage what you can’t measure.

In order for us to understand how to manage strategic risk, we must first take a look at how to measure it. A key tenet of enterprise risk management (ERM) is measuring risk with the same yardsticks used to measure results. In this way, companies can calculate how much inherent risk their initiatives contain. 

Strategic risk can measured with two key metrics: 

• Economic capital is the amount of equity required to cover unexpected losses based on a predetermined solvency standard. This standard is usually derived from the company’s target debt rating. Economic capital is a common currency with which any risk can be quantified. Importantly, it applies the same methodology and assumptions used in determining enterprise value, making it ideal for strategic risk. 
• Risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) is the anticipated after-tax return on an initiative divided by its economic capital. If RAROC exceeds the company’s cost of capital, the initiative is viable and will add value. If RAROC is less than the cost of capital, it will destroy value. 

Five steps to becoming effective

Managing strategic risk involves five steps which must be integrated within the strategic planning and execution process in order to be effective:

• Define business strategy and objectives. There are several frameworks that companies commonly use to plan out strategy, from simple SWOT analysis to the more nuanced and holistic balanced scorecard. The one thing that these frameworks have in common, however, is their failure to address risk. It is crucial, then, that companies take additional steps to integrate risk at the planning stage.
• Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure results. The best KPIs offer hints as to the levers the company can pull to improve them. Thus, overall sales makes a poor KPI, while sales per customer lets the company drill down for answers.
• Identify risks that can drive variability in performance. These are the unknowns, such as future customer demand, that will determine results.
• Establish key risk indicators (KRIs) and tolerance levels for critical risks. Whereas KPIs measure historical performance, KRIs are forward-looking leading indicators intended to anticipate potential roadblocks. Tolerance levels serve as triggers for action.
• Provide integrated reporting and monitoring. Finally, companies must monitor results and KRIs on a continuous basis in order to mitigate risks or grasp unexpected opportunities as they arise.

Strategic risk represents the greatest dangers—and opportunities—your company faces. By taking steps to manage it at the enterprise level, companies can shape their future success while minimizing downside exposure.

Effects of Conflict in the Workplace: Age Differences/ Level of Management

Throughout our lives we are often faced with situations where we have to deal with many different types of people. A lot of our encounters happen while we are at work. In the workplace, often there are conversations that happen with either co-workers or management that are incompetent. The focus of this paper will be to specifically look at the conflict patterns among different age groups and levels of management. This paper will also examine factors that lead to, characterize and result from various forms of workplace conflict between co-workers and management.

H1:Conflict between older employees is less common than with younger employees.

Having to work with people of all different ages can be fairly tough simply because of the communication styles. There is often conflict among older employees and younger employees because of misunderstandings. Usually older adults would be less likely to display active destructive behaviors (Davis et al., 2009). Conflict typically occurs when there is a disconnect in a conversation between people. Older adults are more likely than younger adults to respond to conflict in more active constructive ways rather than cause conflict or display destructive behavior. This being said, sometimes it is harder for these individuals to get along in the workplace because of the age gap and mindset of the two.

H2: Workplace conflict has negative effects on employees and management.

Generally, conflict is most commonly associated with a negative connotation. When having conflict, especially in the workplace, it can be harmful to everyone who is around. Conflict causes unnecessary tension, and an unhealthy work environment. This causes employees to not want to work together and makes it an undesirable place to be. In group settings, individuals who feel threatened or attacked by others may try to isolate themselves from the group. This type of behavior would make it extremely unlikely that members would identify with one another (Thiel et al., 2018). When negative conflicts arise in the workplace it is difficult to find solutions. Professionally, to avoid conflict, it is best to stay away from drama, be friendly with co-workers, focus on your tasks, and communicate problems with one another as they come up in a mature way.

H3: As willingness to open up increases, conflict among employees also increases.

As we may know, we sometimes spend more time at work than we do at home, creating personal connections with our co-workers. Often, we befriend our co-workers and talk about our personal lives and engage in outside of work activities. The risk in getting too comfortable with other co-workers is that anything you have said could be brought up to a manager, or taken the wrong way which could potentially get you in trouble. Interpersonal feelings of all intensities can create conflicts of interest. Even mild liking or disliking for a person can bias judgments of their performance. This can create tension between co-workers and offer unfairness. Getting too comfortable in workplace settings can hinder your ability to remain professional and separate work colleagues and friends.

Conflict is something that is inevitable in the workplace and in general. Conflict can often solve problems or promote positive and needed change in a workplace. Although, most times, conflict has a negative impact on people. When there is negative conflict in the workplace, it often results in low employee motivation, turnover and lack of productivity. There are many different types of conflicts that are expressed in the workplace. Age differences and level of management play factors in how conflict may occur. The difference between the way that older adults speak and the way younger adults speak can create incompetence and increase tensions.
