Introduction
Last week, you determined the solution for your decision that is needed for your final paper. As a reminder, the decision you are working on is the one that you selected in week two.
As noted in this week's lecture and overview, brainstorming is often helpful when determining solutions (steps three and four) and might also be beneficial when trying to identify the root cause(s) (step two).
By now, you have completed those problem-solving steps. However, you probably did some type of brainstorming when completing them (steps two, three, and/or four).
This week, you will determine which group analysis tools are best for you to use when finalizing your decision. Review the analysis tools that were covered this week. Be sure to review the resources provided on this week's overview. Also, read the narrative on the lecture page.
Instructions
Select two of the analysis tools that were presented in this week's overview and lecture. Provide a detailed explanation of how each tool is used (use separate paragraphs for each tool).
Also, discuss a time when you have used each tool for a business-related decision. In addition, explain how the tools were helpful for you when making those decisions. There should be a thorough explanation for each tool. Also, use separate paragraphs for each tool.
If you have not used one (or both) of the tools, explain how you could have used them. For the business-related problem that you are discussing, what did you do instead of using an analysis tool? If you had used, analysis tools, would the outcome have been better? Why?
Your answers should be substantive to properly address the questions.
In addition, discuss which analysis tool you will likely use for your final paper and why you chose that tool. Your answer should be included in a separate paragraph.
Your assignment should be at least 1.5 pages in length (single spaced) excluding resources. Use one-inch margins and a standard font size (11-12).
