Resume and Cover Letter
Using the job you identified in Module 1, following the guidelines from the above readings, write a resume and a cover letter applying for the job. Submit your resume and cover letter. Remember and apply what you\’ve learned so far on persuasion and writing letters. Using materials from Module 1 on goodwill communication and from Module 2 on persuasion will be helpful. In addition, materials from Module 3 on negative communication may come in handy to prevent negative impressions. Please avoid re-stating your resumes on your cover letters. Focus on your strengths and make your case a compelling one.

Module 4 – Case INSTRUCTIONS
RISK: Assignment Overview
Scenario: You are still a consultant for the Excellent Consulting Group. You have completed the first assignment, developing and testing a forecasting method based on linear regression (Case 3). However, your consulting manager at ECG wants to go the next step and investigate another forecasting method. It is important to do a thorough job for the client, and you have the expertise to analyze different forecasting methods. You have decided to look at the sales data for client’s lottery app as a single data set and use a time series analysis, namely SES, single exponential smoothing.
Case Assignment
Using Excel, use the forecasted sales from Case 3 to compute the MAPE, by doing the following:
1. Calculate the MAPE for the first 12 months (assume the forecast for Month 1 – or January – is equal to January’s actual sales). Use 0.15 and 0.90 alphas.
2. Using the forecasted sales for Feb – April (taken from the Case 3 Linear Regression exercise), compute the MAPE by comparing actual sales for each month, or Y(t) to forecasted sales, or F(t). Compare this 3-month MAPE to the two MAPE values you calculated in your SES analysis above.

Month Sales, Y(t) Sales F(t) Y(t) – F(t) PE APE
February ? ? ? ? ?
March ? ? ? ? ?
April ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ?
ME MPE MAPE

Then write a report to your boss that briefly describes the results that you obtained. Using MAPE values, make a recommendation on which method appears to be more accurate — SES or Linear Regression.
Data: Use the data that you previously have generated from your analyses in Case 3.

FINAL DELIVERABLES: MEMO AND PRESENTATION TO CORPORATE EXECUTIVES

SCENARIO
Much like the majority of real estate development firms in the US, the firm you work for has never pursued a green real estate development project of any kind. Your boss has come to believe, however, that the day is coming when your firm will be disadvantaged in its market if it does not become more familiar with the evolving trends, including the green certification programs and resources that are the subject of your assignment.

TASK
As an analyst in your firm, you have been assigned the responsibility of reviewing a green certification program and providing a recommendation to your leadership on participation in the program for your firm’s next eligible development project. As an analyst, you should have an ability to review materials on a subject from different sources and evaluate their veracity; determine the subject’s applicability to your firm, stakeholders, and marketplace; and project the impacts, costs, and benefits of participation in the certification program’s offering.

The completed assignment is to be delivered in two forms:
1. A10-minute briefing (with presentation) to your firm’s leaders; and,
2. A written memo that provides the same information, but in text form. The memo should be no more 800 words, plus graphics, charts and/or appendices as appropriate.

An analyst’s completed report may include a clear positive or negative recommendation. If a recommendation is positive, the content should provide information on demonstrable benefits to be derived from participation in the program. Benefits reference the costs or burden anticipated to achieve the standards aligned with the stated benefits. If an analyst’s recommendation is negative, content should be clear on which risks or burdens are not worth taking, and why. If costs outweigh benefits, it might be prudent to indicate some form of sensitivity analysis, which will illustrate the conditions through which a recommendation could change. In the absence of information sufficient to make a firm positive or negative recommendation, an analyst should qualify his / her work indicating which conditional characteristics, or which conditions in the market place could influence a change in your recommendation.
