PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with the knowledge of the statistical techniques that can be employed to examine market volatility. Students are required to reflect upon financial theory and empirical practice and to show an ability to use the statistical software E-Views appropriately.

SCENARIO:

Having performed exceptionally well in the last assignment, your manager Mrs. Fama, has asked you to put together another team of between three and four colleagues. The Management Board require further information on Sundia before they introduce a tracker/index portfolio in this stock market and as such require an examination of the volatility of stock returns for Sundia.

In addition, the Management Board also requires an investigation into the co-integration of Sundia in comparison to the key markets that they also offer tracker/index portfolios in. They are, France, Spain, Sweden and Poland.

This information will allow the Management Board to determine the most suitable target customers for the Sundia tracker/ index portfolio.

You are required to prepare a 3,500 word report which will be presented to the Management Board informing them of your findings. Your report should also be accompanied by an Executive Summary which should be no more than 350 words (in addition to the 3,500 words for the report). This will be used by the Management Board in their monthly meeting, so only the key points should be included.

Problem Description
The financial company Giacometti Holding wants to study which are the factors affecting the monthly home mortgage payment or rent payment of her potential customers. In particular, the financial company Giacometti Holding wants to understand the characteristics of the customers, which monthly pay more.
The purpose of the Giacometti’s management is to offer a new financial product: an insurance to hedge against the risk related to the inability to pay a high monthly home mortgage payment or rent payment, in case of a temporary job loss.
As a consultant of the company you are required to suggest a strategy (on which customers do I have to concentrate my attention) to attach the potential market.
The dataset file
The file Data_exam.xlsx contains data from a survey of 500 randomly selected potential customers/householders.
Data Description:
1. Customers/householder: Sequential number.
2. Family size: Number of persons in the family.
3. Location: Location of residence within the given city: 1=SW sector, 2=NW sector, 3=NE sector, and
4=SE sector.
4. Ownership: 0= rent home (house or apartment) or 1=own home.
5. First Income: Annual income of first household wage earner.
6. Second Income: Annual income of second household wage earner (if applicable).
7. Monthly Payment: monthly home mortgage payment or rent payment.
8. Utilities bill: Average monthly expenditure on utilities.
9. Debt: Total indebtedness (excluding home mortgage) in dollars.
Your tasks :
STEP 1 (30 points) Create a sample.

Create a sample of 150 customers using the simple random sampling method . Then, all your elaborations must be performed on the sample you create.
Report the main descriptive statistics and draw histograms for the following variables :
1. Family size
2. First Income
3. Second Income
4. Monthly Payment
5. Utilities bill
6. Debt
-Estimate the 99% confidence intervals for the Average Monthly Payment and average debt.
-What proportion of the householders contains a single person. Estimate 99% confidence intervals and test the hypothesis that the population proportion is 20%. Determine the sample dimension to reduce the margin error of the proportion by 50%
-Use Pivot tables to answer the following questions, considering your sample: what are the average monthly payment, average monthly utilities bill, average debt (excluding the home mortgage) of the householders residing in each of the four sectors of the city. Discuss the results
STEP 2 (30 points)
Focus now on the monthly payment as your dependent variable.
Use scatter plots to understand the relevant relationships between the dependent variable and the independent ones, such as the ones reported in “The dataset file” paragraph.
Run a multivariate regression, using as dependent variable the total amount spent and as independent ones independent the ones reported in the bullet points 1-9 above in “The dataset file” paragraph.
Critically comment the significance tests on the beta coefficients, the R^2 and the F-test. Develop a strategy to select only the relevant variables.
Using the regression output, determine with of the explanatory variables should be excluded from the regression equation.
What are the main insights from your analysis?

STEP 4 (30 points)
The Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) attempts to measure people’s feelings about general business conditions, employment opportunity and their own income prospects. The file contains the monthly average of CCI.

ATTENTION

This is an Management Report for module called Service Management so I want someone specialised in Management to take this work please.

From this report after you are required to make an Power Point Presentation.

Also I will choose for you to speak about Premier Inn Hotel UK-Whitstable and I need you to do primary and secondary searches and include them in appendice and include graphs as well please and
also I want you to design an questionare which customers supposed to fill it in and attach it in the appendice and also in the an interview with the hotel manager should be included in the appendice-some questions provided for manager to answer how is that hotel in particular attracting customers,on what are they focused,what are theyr strategies,why are customers retun to them,etc…and also you need to compare with secondary researches and see if one is corespunding with eachother.You can look on tripadvisor for secodary as well but not mainly and suport every secodary data with literature please.

You are required to write a report profiling a service organisation of your choice Premier Inn Hotel in Whitstable.-Whitstable is the town where I live and I need you to do researches in this Premier Inn from this town. It needs to be a service dominated organisation – not a product organisation.!!!

The report needs to focus on a specific element of service which has been covered over the duration of the module. Emphasis should be on depth of analysis, rather than breadth.

The report needs to highlight the strong points of the operation, and identify the possible improvements to that operation in the spirit of continuous improvement. The expectations are for thoughtful and reflective insights with evidence of some critical analysis. The purpose of this project is to provide you with the opportunity to apply your service management knowledge by observing and analysing service business in ‘real time’.!!!!
You will need to visit-phone that business to observe its operations. Your visit will probably include a discussion with a service manager / deliverer (or owner) to obtain more in-depth information about the service. A copy of the interview transcript needs to be included within the appendices of the report. Additionally you are required to obtain primary research in the form of customer feedback, for example, via the use of questionnaires.!!!!!

Your task is to critically evaluate your observations, research and findings and discuss how improvements might be made to the service management and operation . Your views and arguments should be supported by reference to relevant theory and other sources of secondary data.

Your report should include (but not necessarily in the following order):-

• A summary of the type / nature of the service being provided and specific challenges or implication this has for management.

• An evaluation of the way in which the service is designed, delivered and evaluated.

• An evaluation of how the organisation markets itself.

• An analysis and evaluation of the employees used in the service organisation.

In your report you should aim to integrate appropriate service management concepts into the analysis of the service, including appropriate references to your reading. You may include appendices, provided that there is explicit reference to them in the body of the text.

The style should be that of a management report. !!!

Presentation of Group Report

A typical management report format would use the following headings:

Title page
Contents page
Introduction (approximately 200 words)
Findings (approximately 2600 words)
Conclusions and recommendations (approximately 400 words)
Bibliography (no word limit)
Appendices (no word limit)

The report should follow a logical report structure. All pages and appendices should be numbered.

Please note that quotes, diagrams, tables and appendices do not constitute part of the word allocation.

After
