Analytical Research Paper

Description

The paper must be no less than 3-4 pages, excluding the title and reference pages, using APA format, with at least 5 recent, scholarly, peer-reviewed references. As in any scholarly writing, students should not merely copy information from another author, but use evidence to support the contentions they have drawn from their findings and critically analyze related literature – each paper needs to be an analytical paper, not a summary of readings.

Students must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, tables, images, figures, formulas, and information used that are not their own, even if they have put the information into their own words.

Pretend that Walmart’s Product Development team has asked you to manage a new project that will provide a Sales Analysis application to Walmart. The application will analyze daily, weekly, and monthly cash receipts for patterns. The system will also compare sales trends with available inventory and using AI automatically reorder and route replenishing inventory to each Walmart store.

The purpose of the application is to better manage inventory and to make sure customers have the products they want available at each store. (cost control and increased customer satisfaction)

The sponsor of the system is the Walmart Corporate Vice President of Sales.

Funding will be Walmart Corporate the office of the CFO.

This scenario will utilize your ideas around Big Data and AI but has a clear purpose, scope, and sponsorship.
