Organization: Amazon
For the first paragraph of your post, tell the class a little about your organization and describe your position in the organization. Briefly explain the change that occurred.
For the second paragraph(s) of your post, select any one of the following starter bullet point sections. Review the important themes within the sub-questions of each bullet point. The sub-questions are designed to get you thinking about some of the important issues. Your response should provide a succinct synthesis of the key themes in a way that articulates a clear point, position, or conclusion supported by research. 
Assess the factors that made that change necessary. Were the forces for change internal or external to the organization? How did the organization recognize the need for change? Does your experience mirror the information from your readings regarding how a need for change      is discovered? Does your organization actively scan the internal and external environments for elements that indicate the need for a change? If so, what does your organization do? If not, are there any scanning techniques you would recommend?
Evaluate what problems your organization experienced in meeting its goals prior to the change, how the organization performed during the change, and how it performed once the change was fully in place. Did the organization need to change its strategic plan, goals, objectives, mission or vision, or operating procedures as a result of the change?
Analyze whether other areas were affected if the change occurred in one area of the organization. If so, how? If the change occurred throughout the organization, were some areas affected more than others? How and why? Were all the impacts of the change correctly anticipated, or were there unintended consequences of the change? What was the effect of the consequences (anticipated or unintended)? What were the leadership lessons learned?
The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.
Provide a substantive (500- to 1,000-word) initial discussion posting addressing each of the components in the discussion question. Justify your answers with research, examples, and reasoning.

8 Introduction
Overview
You will explore analysis of variance (ANOVA) including a two-way or factorial ANOVA. Also, post hoc tests to determine which groups have statistically significant differences will also be explored.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
Understand the assumptions and conditions for ANOVA.
Analyze and interpret a one-way (single factor) ANOVA.
Evaluate appropriate post-hoc tests for a statistically significant one-way ANOVA.
Analyze and interpret post-hoc tests to determine which pairs of means from the one-way ANOVA are significantly different.

Discussion Thread: Comparing Groups
 
Respond to the following short answer questions from Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner, & Barrett textbook:

D.8.9.7 In Outputs 9.7 a and b, what pairs of means were significantly different?
D.8.9.8 In Output 9.8, interpret the meaning of the sig. values for math achievement and competence. What would you conclude, based on this information, about differences between groups on each of these variables?
D.8.9.9 Compare Outputs 9.6 and 9.8 with regard to math achievement. What are the most important differences and similarities?
D.8.9.10 In Output 9.9: (a) Is the interaction significant? (b) Examine the profile plot of the cell means that illustrates the interaction. Describe it in words. (c) Is the main effect of academic track significant? Interpret the eta squared. (d) How about the “effect” of math grades? (e) Why did we put the word effect in quotes? (f) Under what conditions would focusing on the main effects be misleading?
