In 2016, trivago’s field of business could be described as hotel-related online marketing and distribution. The firm provided a two-sided, online meta-search platform that connected travelers seeking hotel accommodations with more than 200 booking sites and 1.3 million hotels. With 1.4 billion visits and 487 million qualified referrals1 in 2016, trivago was the largest hotel meta-search platform in the world. What differentiated trivago’s business model from that of online travel agents (OTAs) was its value proposition as an independent information provider. trivago did not sell hotel rooms. Instead, it organized large amounts of hotel-related information from multiple sources to offer the optimal basis for making a booking decision. Thus, trivago helped users convert their initial interest into a clear, specific booking intention, thereby fulfilling their personal needs.

The following points are to guide a review and discussion of some important concepts.

•    Describe trivago’s corporate-level strategy and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the company’s matrix organizational structure. Does the organizational design effectively support the needs of trivago’s corporate-level strategy? 
•    How does the management innovation activity at trivago facilitate achievement of the company’s corporate objectives? What recommendations would you make to improve either the design or implementation of the company’s management innovation efforts?
•    Using a balanced scorecard framework, outline the financial and strategic organizational controls used by trivago to drive management behavior and firm performance. Are the corporate criteria balanced? Are they yielding desired outcomes for the company?

Unit VII Project

Assignment Content

1. This is a real-world project that involves analyzing and evaluating a business of your choice that is in your local area. By completing this project, you will demonstrate what you have learned in this course by analyzing a business.
   To complete this project, select a local business of your choice. Examples include, but are not limited to, a movie theater, state-operated toll booth, supermarket, fast food restaurant, car wash, or a retailer like TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, or Best Buy.
   Imagine you have just been hired as the new manager. As a good manager, you want to have a solid understanding of the business operations processes so you can determine if the business is operating efficiently, timely, and at a profit.
   You are to go observe your business and view it from a data-gathering and quantitative analysis approach. For example, if you choose a car wash, how many cars entered the wash? What times did they arrive? What type of wash did they get? (You can ask the manager if you can record data). What type of car was it? Was there correlation in the wash type and car? You have to think critically about this scenario. Remember, you are the new manager, so you want to make an impact and improve processes.
   As you can see, data are gathered, recorded, and then analyzed to determine the findings (what do the data tell you?). A car wash may use the data to hire more people during certain times, to refill soap in the machine during down times, or even raise the price on certain washes for more revenue. You have to think critically and creatively when you observe your business.
   After you have completed all of the quantitative findings on the processes, you are to write a paper that analyzes your selected business. At a minimum, you should accomplish the following tasks.
   
   • Describe the business and how quantitative analysis can be used to make it more efficient.
   • Explain the quantitative processes you used to analyze the business.
   • Determine if the business exhibits any type of distribution? What type? Explain your findings.
   • Outline the decision-making steps with regard to your analysis.
   • Is there correlation or causation in your findings? Explain.
   • Examine the coefficient of determination and the coefficient of correlation, and deduce their meanings. In your response to this, explain the four values of the correlation coefficient.
   • Summarize your data findings from the business you selected.
   • Display any computations you used (probability, distributions, decision trees).
   • Your completed project must be at least four pages in length. It should include an introduction section where you include what you will prove regarding the quantitative analysis tools you used, the main points of your paper, and a conclusion section that includes a summary of what the data display about your selected business and how it could improve.
     You must use at least two academic resources in your paper, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to find help drafting a case study paper.  I've attached the files for the assignment description, plus the case study itself as a PDF.  Any guidance would be appreciated. 

General prompt:  Choose one of the case studies listed in the resources for this module. Then you will write a paper in which you respond to questions posed in the case study, advice and recommendations provided by the commentators, and how you would have intervened and engaged with the case study client. This assignment provides an opportunity to practice skills you can apply to your consulting and final projects. 

Many thanks.
