Discuss on the Electric Company’s Tetrafactory Location Decision longrun country ‘Ghana’ : factors that have influenced their economic growth.The Electric Company’s Tetrafactory Location Decision
The Electric Company (NASDAQ: TEC) has successfully manufactured lithium-ion batteries for electric
vehicles over the last five years. It sells them primarily to automakers in the United States and Europe.
We expect the electric vehicle (EV) battery industry to grow 60% in the next five years and for electric
vehicles to hold a 35% market share in the automobile industry by 2040. To meet this expected demand,
TEC is looking to open a manufacturing plant abroad.
The demand for electric vehicle batteries will significantly increase in the long-run, even in nations with
current low levels of demand, such as Latin America and Asia (non-China). See graph below for the
estimated trajectory according to Bloomberg.y expanding to a second manufacturing location, we estimate we can cut our production costs by 30%.

The Terafactory will provide the highest quality Lithium Ion Electric Vehicle batteries for large
automobile manufacturers across the world. Our goal is to increase battery production just as those
companies are ramping up their electric vehicle production. Five major automobile makers have already
committed to partner with us internationally.
Our rival Tesla has recently invested in a new facility in Nevada, the Gigafactory. By 2020 they expect to
produce 500,000 batteries annually to support its lower-cost Model 3 sedan.
Our new Terafactory will produce 700,000 electric vehicle batteries annually with quality that equals
Tesla’s. The Terafactory will be a zero-waste 10 million square foot production advanced facility. This
massive facility will require 750-1,000 acres. The facility will have state-of-the-art production
technology. It also includes a solar power station that will provide 100% of its power needs.
Production Facility and Output
The Terafactory’s output of 700,000 batteries a year is 40% higher than planned production at Tesla’s
plant, but our cost will be slightly lower. The construction of the facility and purchasing of the machinery will require a large capitalinvestment. Like Tesla, we will spend $1.5B on manufacturing equipment. We have funding
commitments from our retained earnings and a line of credit from several large banks in the U.S. and
Europe.
We are looking to locate in a country that can provide considerable savings in the construction of this
facility. Thus, total cost for our facility will range from $3B – $3.5B, a bit less than Tesla’s cost of $4B.
And we anticipate labor costs for operations that are far below U.S. levels.
Labor Requirements
The Terafactory will employ over 6,500 people and provide tremendous economic stimulus to the
chosen location. The Terafactory will require an educated and skilled work force. The company
workforce will consist of:
●Roughly 5% Management: Requires advanced degrees in specialized areas
●Roughly 15% Administrative (Marketing, Legal, Business Development, etc.): One third require
at a minimum high school, 2/3 require a bachelor degree or more.
●Roughly 20% Engineers (Electrical Engineers, Software Engineers, etc.): Requires at a minimum
bachelor of engineering. About half have a masters or relevant work experience preferred.
●Roughly 40% Technicians: Requires at a minimum a high school diploma with some college or
specialized training preferred.
●Roughly 20% support staff (janitors, carpenters, etc.): Most positions require some vocational
training or experience.
Most of the inputs for the battery will be imported raw materials and manufactured inputs. There will be
a few thousand jobs at local suppliers (ranging from accountants and truckers to producers of some small
metal parts). And there should be far more jobs meeting the needs of our workforce: local restaurants,
Uber drivers, etc.
Your Group’s Tasks and Deliverables
Guidelines
●Your team will apply macroeconomic theories to help to The Electric Company (TEC) choose a
location for its Terafactory. Each deliverable below should include both a theoretical framework and
data that are relevant to decision about the Terafactory’s location. Students are encouraged to study
countries that are foreign to their experience.
●The project is to be undertaken by a group of four or 5 students. In rare cases the group may be
slightly smaller or larger (subject to prior approval).
●The focus of each deliverable is applying the analytical approaches we learned in class to this
business decision.
Specific Aspects and Assumptions
TEC’s Terafactory has several aspects that are important for the location decision.
It involves a large capital expenditure.
●TEC is raising the financing for the production facility in US$ outside of the destination.
●The production facility involves the specified types and skills of labor.
●This facility will be the main worldwide supplier of this product for TEC.
●Failure of this project will imperil TEC’s corporate survival.
Your task is to evaluate country Ghana as the base for worldwide
production and distribution of your product.

Analyze each country’s historical record of economic growth; the factors that have influenced this growth,and provide projections for future long-term growth based on current conditions and anticipated future conditions.The key to this analysis is looking at how the long-run trends in your countries relate to TEC’s decision for locating the Terafactory. If the current conditions are negative or positive, how likely are they to change? You should mention most of the factors of production (capital, human capital, R&D/learning, and infrastructure/transport). Then also think about the causes of the factors (rule of law, corruption, etc.).

Tell me long-term factors of production and their determinants, not short-term drivers of aggregate demand (e.g., consumption or exports growth, etc.), expected growth next year, inflation, or other business cycle factors. You will discuss those issues in Deliverable 3. Nothing about unemployment, GDP growth or inflation since COVID (though COVID might affect long-term growth if it disrupted factors of production, institutions, etc.).
Relate each fact you give to TEC’s decision. For example, what level of schooling is relevant?
Recall you should ignore factors of production will Terafactory not source locally.

THIS IS A GROUP ASSIGNMENT so I only need to write part about the factors that have influence ghana’s economic growth and 1 page only

Write a paper assessing the online presence of 2 Alberta-based businesses

Mark 468 Final Project Guidelines
The assignment consists of assessing the
online presence of 2 Alberta-based businesses, and making recommendations based
on these assessments. These are all
retailers that have indicated an interest in but have not yet committed to
participating in, the Digital Economy
Program (DEP) initiative, which is funded by the Government of Alberta, in
partnership with Digital Main Street and Business Link.
Improving the online presence of local
retailers was important before COVID-19, but the pandemic has greatly increased
the urgency of this area. The
assessments and recommendations you provide in this assignment will be used by
DEP to help these companies. The dual goals of this assignment are, therefore,
twofold: using experiential learning to help you to develop assessment skills
while helping DEP to help local businesses. In order to maximize the impact of
your work, the written component will be uploaded in a google form https://forms.gle/9KSdAzKguL1Nxto97,
which can be used to assist DEP in helping the businesses.
Please note that while we hope most or all
of your assessments and recommendations will be useful, there is no guarantee
that DEP will share your assessments and recommendations with the client
organizations. There is also no guarantee that any or all of your
recommendations will be used by the client companies. We, therefore, ask that you DO NOT contact the companies in any way
during the project. These
companies have all expressed interest in the program, but have not yet
committed to adopting the services offered. The last thing we want to do is
harm the potential relationship between the client and DEP. I am grateful to DEP for giving us this
opportunity for experiential learning.
Please respect their wishes and do not contact or approach the businesses
in any way.
In addition to the written component, you
will also develop 2 sets of presentation slides based on a provided
presentation template. You will choose one of these for an actual 6-8 minute
presentation to the class outlining your key findings and recommendations. This is intended to help you develop your
presentation skills in the online meeting environment. The class will have 3-5 minutes afterward to
ask questions. On your assigned day, the professor will give you the ability to
share your screen on Zoom at the start of class so that you can give a
presentation to the class using PowerPoint, Prezi or any similar software you
like. Please arrive on time (or a few minutes early if possible) on this day so
that the professor can give you this ability in zoom.
Both the business you will assess and the
date of your presentation will be determined at random by the professor. If you
have any conflict with any of the businesses to which you are assigned (e.g.
you have a relationship with the business, such as working there, knowing the
owner etc.) please let the professor know right away. Failure to disclose
preexisting relationships with the assigned company could be considered
academic misconduct.
Written component
1-Analysis
1)
Google the business by name.
1a.) Copy a
screenshot of what comes up, attach the screenshot to “Company Name Google
search results”.
1.b.) Assess the
quality of what comes up. What comes up
first? Is it their business? If not, what is it? What about the rest of the first page of the
results? Can you access their webpage
easily from the results? If they are not on the first page, how far down do you
have to go to get to their business?
Link each
relevant assessment component to a point on the screenshot. (maybe a, b, c,…).
This goes for the rest below.

2)
‘This type of business’ near me. If you have access to the neighbourhood where
the business is located, go to that area and google the type of business near
me. To do this you will have to figure out a search term or two (maybe
differing levels of specificity, e.g. restaurants near me, Japanese restaurants
near me).
Does the business come up?
2.a.) Search
term/s used
2.b.) Take a
screenshot of what comes up and
2.c.) Assess the
quality of the results for that business (do they appear, if so in what
position? If not, what comes up?)*. If their business comes up, great,
otherwise try to find their google profile (Google My
Business).
● Is the address correct? Is the phone number correct? Are the hours
listed?
● If applicable, are there links to delivery services (Skip the dishes
etc.)? Is there a link to their webpage?
Does the link work? If a restaurant, is there a link to their menu? If it is not a restaurant, what is the primary information
the business needs to present? Can you find it easily?
● Are there lots of questions and answers about the business (how
many? Are the responses positive?)? If there are, did the business answer the questions?
● Is there enough data to show “popular times? If so when are the most
popular times, according to google?
● How many google reviews do they have? What is their star rating? Did the business respond to the reviews?
2.d.) What are
the photos like (if any)? Assess the
quality in general. Specifically, assess the presence/quality of pictures of:

The outside
of the business (View from the street so people recognize it on approach) If
yes, are these google street view captures or proper photos of the outside of
the business (google street view is better than nothing but not great)?

The inside
of the business (too few, just right, too many) Do they give a good idea of
what it is like to go to this business? Do they have Google 360 photo (if not,
you would recommend it)?

The product
or service. Are they professional? Do they look appealing?

Customers.
Are they professional? Do they look appealing?

Employees.
Are they professional? Do they look appealing?
*NOTE: If you are not in Edmonton or going
to this particular neighbourhood would be difficult for you, simply state that
this aspect of the assessment was not doable for you, due to, for example, not
being located in Edmonton, no access to a car and business is far away, etc.).
You should be able to find the google listing another way.

3)
Their web page.
3.a.) How does the first page look? Do you think the first page
shows primary information that customers would
look for (menu or delivery/pickup for restaurant, booking system for hair
salon, etc.)? Can you see any buttons that link to the primary information? Is
the website mobile-friendly? Are there any
glitches? Is the address correct? Is the phone
number correctn(if the same as google profile do not call again)? Are the hours listed?
What are the photos
like (if any)? Assess the quality in
general. Specifically, assess the presence/quality of pictures of:
The outside of the business (View from the street so
people recognize it on approach) If yes, are these google street view
captures or proper photos of the outside of the business (google street
view is better than nothing but not great).
The inside of the business (too few, just right, too
many) Do they give a good idea of what it is like to go to this business
The product or service. Are they professional? Do
they look appealing?
Customers. Are they professional? Do they look
appealing?
Employees. Are they professional? Do they look appealing?

Are there any testimonials? If
so, do they sound appealing/credible?

Is there a booking system,
online store or any e-commerce elements (if applicable)? If so, are they
user-friendly? Do they present enough information, such as photos, price, etc.?

4) For their delivery/pickup service such as Skip the Dishes and Uber Eats (if
applicable):
Do they use a
delivery/pickup service? If so, how does it look like in each platform? How is
the rating?
Do they show photos on
the menu? Do they look appealing?
Is the address correct?
Is the phone number correct? Are the hours listed?

5)
For their Yelp page (and trip advisor page if
applicable):
Is the address correct? Is the phone number
correct? Are the hours listed? How many reviews do they have? What is their
star rating?
What are the photos like (if any). Assess the quality in general. Specifically,
assess the presence/quality of pictures of:
The outside of the business (View from the street so
people recognize it on approach) If yes, are these google street view
captures or proper photos of the outside of the business (google street
view is better than nothing but not great).
The inside of the business (to few, just right, too
many) Do they give a good idea of what it is like to go to this business
The product or service. Are they professional? Do
they look appealing?
Customers. Are they professional? Do they look
appealing?
Employees. Are they professional? Do they look appealing?

6)
Assess their presence on Social Media
Go to their social
media such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram (and any others you can
find).
What kind of social
media do they use? Do you think they use effective ones for their industry?
Would you say they have too many platforms, need more, or about right?
Do they have an
appealing profile? Do they show their photos/logo/any visual elements in the
profile (or ‘About’ page if applicable)? Is there a link to their website in
the profile?
What kind of content do
they post? Do the posts look appealing?
Do they post on a
regular basis? How often? Are the posts consistent with a unified brand both within the platform and across platforms?
If inconsistencies exist, what are they and how might they be better unified.
Provide examples if applicable.

7) Assess their overall online
branding:
What kind of branding
elements are visible (logo/main colour/font/etc.) in their online presence? If they have some, do
they look appealing? Are the elements consistent? If not, screen capture and
present ones that you think are inconsistent with their overall brand as
concrete examples.

2-Observation
Summary (bullet points)
Given all of the things you have written
above, what are the most important/relevant to your assessment of this
business? What are the 8-10 most important observations you have made about
this business. These observations are likely to form the basis for your in-class
presentation.

3-Recommendation
(Top 3)
Based on three of the important
observations above, make 3 specific recommendations about how to improve the
business’s online presence. Here you should try to identify a peer or aspirant
company that is doing it better (not necessarily perfectly though). Screenshot
that company’s web page/social media presence etc. for comparison. Try to find the best peer or aspirant
organization you can, given your recommendations. For many companies, this will be in the same
industry sector in Edmonton, but if you find a really great example from
another sector and/or region, that is fine too.
Just don’t pick an organization where the business would not have the
resources to match their effort.
Make sure you justify why you think these
are the 3 most pressing online concerns for the company.

Presentation
Using the
template provided by SBC, create 2 presentations for the 2 companies. These
template presentations may be used, in whole or in part, by SBC for client
pitch meetings. Upload these two
template-based presentations to the google form to be provided. Please try to
be less critical and more encouraging than you may have been in the google
form. After doing this, pick the one company that you think is most
interesting to share with the class.
Develop an engaging 6-8 minute talk to share with the class based on
these slides. For the in-class
presentation you may considerably diverge from the template, adding and
deleting as you wish. You can think of the in-class presentation as a pre-pitch
internal meeting of other consultants without the client present. You will want to practice this presentation
several times and adjust for length. The presentation should be engaging and
hold audience interest. Make sure you give the class an idea of the business’s
current situation, and what you think should be done to improve it. You may use
any software you like for the in-class presentation.

Write a paper Analyzing and reporting data.

Write a paper Analyzing and reporting data.In public health, data are often gathered from separate groups in order to describe health-related behavior for a topic of interest. In practice, a larger sample is often surveyed, and then focus groups or interviews can be conducted with a smaller subset of the sample. The quantitative survey data from a larger group helps to identify health-related trends and patterns within the sample group. The qualitative data collected with the smaller group complements the quantitative survey data and helps to determine why and how a phenomenon exists. The cumulative findings can then help public health professionals form a conclusion about the health issue and inform future public health research, policy, and practice.
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze qualitative and quantitative data from two separate groups, propose a research question, and then disseminate your findings in a mixed-methods manuscript. The survey and focus group are both on the topic of nutrition. The quantitative data is adapted from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS), and the qualitative data is from a focus group transcript in which 9th grade girls discussed healthy eating.
For this assignment, you will use:
IBM SPSS Statistics and the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Dataset” to conduct a basic quantitative statistical analysis.
The “9th Grade Girls Healthy Food Focus Group Transcription” to conduct a qualitative analysis and identify key themes.
Part 1: Analyzing Data
Using the resources indicated above, conduct the following analyses and record the results on the “Results and Outputs” template. Attach this document as an Appendix in your paper.
Qualitative Analysis: Read the “9th Grade Girls Healthy Food Focus Group Transcription.” This transcript is from a focus group of 9th grade girls discussing healthy eating with the moderator. Generate codes and summarize the qualitative data.
Quantitative Analysis:
Review the “Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Dataset.” Identify two or three variables of interest and identify a study topic for your paper. Conduct a literature search for three to five peer-reviewed articles from the last 5 years that have studies supporting your topic. Develop a research question for your study based on the selected variables. The research question should demonstrate support for the focus group results and should be supported by existing literature.
Prepare the data to complete the analysis based on your research question.
Using SPSS, conduct descriptive statistics to summarize the sample.
Using SPSS, select an appropriate quantitative inferential statistical test to analyze the data.
Part 2: Reporting Data
Prepare a 1,250-1,500 word manuscript to disseminate the findings of your proposed study. The study should be based on your proposed research question and supported by the findings from the qualitative and quantitative analyses above, as well as by current literature. Include the following:
