Analytical Write Up

Description: Answer specific questions based on your analysis of the Virginia Fluted Point dataset provided for you on Canvas. You will base your responses on the results of your manipulation of the original archaeological data set using analytical tools included with the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software. The ultimate goal is to advance a concise archaeological (anthropological) explanation of the observed patterns. Your answers to questions must be supported by well-designed tables and graphs/charts that clearly identify and convey substantive patterns in the data, and with reference to outside sources.
Basic Context: The data file summarizes selected details compiled in a survey of Virginia fluted points that was begun by the Archaeological Society of Virginia, and Ben McCary, during the mid-twentieth century. Most of the artifacts conform to the basic Clovis style, and most were found in surface rather than excavated context. The large sample provides useful information about the distribution of Clovis-era populations. In order to fully understand the patterns of distribution it is also necessary to have a basic working knowledge of the natural (geological) distribution of flakable lithic materials like chert, jasper, metavolcanics, quartz, and quartzite. A starting point for such information is this web site: http://www.virginiaplaces.org/nativeamerican/geoindians.html (Links to an external site.)

Basic Steps:
“Discipline” the original data using Excel; the goal is to creatively manipulate (analyze) the data for the purpose of discovering patterns that allow you to answer the questions in Item 3 (below). (Use the basic functions in Microsoft’s Excel software that will allow you to efficiently organize the data. Especially useful functions are “Sort”, “Subtotals”, and simple arithmetic formulas. Make use of the brief “primer” I have provided, in addition to the software’s “Help” option and numerous Excel tutorials on the internet.)
Capture informative patterns by creating summary data tables and illustrative charts/graphs. (You may include a total of 4 separate tables and 4 separate graphs with your narrative.)
Give short but precise answers the following questions:
Which raw materials show distinct concentration in certain areas, and where are those areas of concentration?
Which raw materials are more dispersed in their distribution?
Based on what you know about the natural (geological) distribution of lithic raw material sources in Virginia, how do you explain the observed patterns of artifact distribution?
Based on what you know about cultural patterns of Clovis-era raw material exploitation, how do you explain the observed patterns of artifact distribution?

Amazon Website Review

STEP
3: Amazon Website Review
Review
what they have on their website. Of most importance is a section likely called
“Press,” “Media,” or “News.” Do they provide their press releases? If so, what
are some of the recent topics? Do they have any press kits, if so on what? Do
they have any video or audio available? Who are the media contacts? If they
don’t have this section then explain why you think they don’t and what the
website would (or should) contain if they did.
Be sure to stay focused and organized. Include links and citations
Include visuals and highlight the big important stuff. Clips from the website and social media posts make great visuals.

New Product Development at Red Mango

Summary:
Founded in 2007 by Dan Kim, Red Mango originally sold only frozen yogurt at its first shop in Los Angeles; however, success resulted in rapid expansion, in terms of both locations and product offerings. Red Mango has developed many successful new products, including parfaits, fruit smoothies, hot chocolate, and, more recently, blended iced coffee. The video describes the new product development process used by Red Mango to launch its blended iced coffee drink.
Watch this video and answer the following questions: https://www.viddler.com/embed/1f4e13d5
Discussion Question #1:
Which of the idea generation methods discussed in the text did Red Mango use to come up with the idea to introduce a blended iced coffee drink?
Discussion Question #2:
Outline the steps of the new product development process for the frozen coffee drink at Red Mango as described in the video.
Discussion Question #3:
New product launch usually comes alone with promotion. Can you think of any good ways to promote the new products in Red Mango (or generally speaking, seasonal drinking products)?

Amazon Social Media Report

STEP 5: Social Media
Review your organization’s social media presence. This is first done by identifying what accounts they have then complete a thorough review of how they are using their account(s). Do some social and visual listening. This should include but is not limited to identifying: frequency of posts, common post topics, typical post format (text, video, pictures, or any combination), typical time of day, number of followers/page likes, if they engaging, etc. Is there a consistent look and feel for the different social media accounts. Be sure to address each type of social media they have.
Review what people are saying about your organization on social media. This includes info on their accounts – comments on their Facebook page and @replies on Twitter, etc. Also, consider what people are saying on their own accounts. Specifically, look at how people are talking about them, what the tone is (are people happy or mad are the comments/posts positive, negative, neutral or mixed, etc.), what are they talking about (common topics), etc. Does it look like they use influencers? If so, who and what type are they?
If they don’t use at least three types of social media, be sure to address how you would recommend them to use three (you pick the most relevant and explain why and how they should use each (if your organization uses one then you should address two, if they have two you would recommend one more). If your organization uses three or more be sure to still address if you think these are the right/best for them to use and if you would do things differently.
Be sure to stay focused and organized. Include links and citations.
Include visuals and highlight the big important stuff. Clips from the website and social media posts make great visuals.
