MIS770 - Foundation Skills in Data Analysis - Organisation’s Annual Report Writing - Management Assignment Help

Assignment Task -                 

Description 

For this assignment, we will use the ideas and concepts introduced in Module 1 to evaluate the presentation  of information. The evaluation will centre on the suitability of Charts, Tables and/or Graphs used to either represent, or visualise, data. The source document for these Charts, Tables and/or Graphs will be a  published report from a Government or significant organisation of your choice. (An example of a suitable  annual report can be found at the end of this document under “Supporting Materials”.)  

There are many suitable reports that you can use for your evaluation and you might be comfortable  selecting a document that is aligned with your current field of study. For instance, if you are a Business  student then you might like to choose a listed (public) company’s Annual Investor Presentation such as the  example shown under “Supporting Materials”. These types of reports can be sourced from a public  company’s website (usually under Investor Centre) or the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Other suitable  sources could be international organisations (e.g. World Health Organisation (WHO)), government  departments or enterprises (e.g. education departments, water authorities, etc.).  

When selecting a report to evaluate, ensure that the document is publicly available and has a wide selection  of Charts, Tables and Graphs. 

Specific Requirements  

In this assignment, you will undertake two distinct tasks divided as Parts A and B.  

In task A, you will develop a list of generic evaluation criteria that critique valid practices when developing,  or constructing, Charts, Tables and Graphs (i.e. visualisations).  

In task B, you will use the criteria developed in Part A to evaluate the suitability of the Charts, Tables and  Graphs (i.e. visualisations) utilised in a publicly available recent report (published in 2019 or 2020) of your  choice (subject to the conditions listed later in this document). 

Part A: Develop Evaluation Criteria 

Your evaluation criteria need to be objective, in that they stipulate the rules you would use in establishing  whether a Chart, Table or Graph utilised in your selected Report, is appropriate for the data being presented.  You need to make sure that each criterion is written in such a manner that a reasonable person can readily  understand, or appreciate, the message being conveyed. You are expected to address 20 criteria.  

You should also group your criteria by visualisation type. For example, you might choose “Common”,  “Chart”, “Table” and “Graph”, or some other suitable grouping. You are not restricted to these specific  headings. It’s also important that you number each criterion as you will need to refer to its number when  undertaking Task 2. 

An example of an appropriate criterion: Line Charts should be used when analysing trends over time. To be  effective, the time should be placed on the x-axis with the measure on the y-axis.  

An example of an unacceptable criterion: Line Charts should have nice colours.  

This last example fails on two counts: it has an inadequate description (or explanation); and, it is subjective  (i.e. the authors’ opinion) – your criteria need to be objective.  

Part B: Report Evaluation  

Select 10 to 12 diverse Charts, Tables or Graphs from your chosen Report (but not including any  “Infographics”) and evaluate these visualisations using your criterion developed in Part A. It would not be  unusual for an individual visualisation from your report to refer to multiple criteria. Further, any given  visualisation you select may conform to some of your criteria but be in contravention of others, and this  would need to be reported.  

It is expected that each criterion would be used at least once when evaluating your chosen Charts, Tables or  Graphs.  

Note: When evaluating the report, include an image of the Charts, Tables and Graphs you have selected and  make sure you associate them back to a specific criterion by using the criterion number you utilised in Part  A.
