Background

The spa industry in Singapore has been badly affected by the recent pandemic that has hit the nation. In March 2020, to stamp out the spread of the coronavirus, the Singapore government ordered an extended period of temporary closure of spa outlets within the country. Even after the lock-down period, due to the fear of being infected, many Singaporeans stopped visiting spas. Moreover, due to the growing number of infections globally, the Singapore government stopped most tourists from visiting Singapore. This further reduced the customer base for local spa operators. As a result, many spa companies have closed down in the past two years.

With the relaxation of the COVID restrictions in Singapore and the spa industry market value likely to return to pre-COVID-19 levels soon, the management of a spa company in Singapore feels strongly that it must improve its customer loyalty strategy to retain its local customer base. The management realizes it is still clueless on how to retain its customers effectively, despite many of its competitors having been phased out of the market. Consequently, they have decided to conduct a marketing research study to determine the factors that will influence customer loyalty. The management is interested in finding out whether factors such as brand awareness, brand trust, perceived price, and service quality are important predictors of customer loyalty.

Task

Assuming you are the research consultant contacted by this Spa company to design a business research study to meet the needs of the management.

Your task is to create a 4000-word business research proposal for a business research study to find out the factors (or constructs) that will impact brand loyalty of the Spa company in Singapore.

Proposal Contents

• Introduction (a brief description of the research client business and the reason for conducting the research)
• Problem definition (formulation of the research aims, research question, and research objectives)
• Literature review for four factors (or constructs) identified as critical drivers
• Proposed research design plus justifications
• Research ethics
• Proposed data analysis plan
• Plan for presentation and discussion of research findings
• List of references (in APA referencing style)

Learning Outcomes Assessed:

• Critically examine current knowledge in a specified area as a means of establishing the status and limitations of current knowledge in that area, to create a literature review.
• Develop a business research question and justify its relevance to practice and its significance as a potential contribution to existing knowledge, to create a series of research questions.
• Select and justify a research methodology to meet specified research aims and objectives; create a methodological approach to investigate the research questions.
• Critically appraise data analysis techniques; create a framework to analyze and interpret research data.

1. Simple Monte Carlo Estimation Example
The probability density function (PDF) for the decay angle θ in muon decay is given by:

p(x) = 1/2 (1 + αx), where −1 ≤ x = cosθ ≤ 1, α ≈ −1/3

(a) Transformation Method:
Use the transformation method to derive an expression that allows you to generate variables x drawn from the PDF given in equation 1, using uniform random variates u drawn from U(0,1). [5 points]

(b) Simulation:
Generate 1,000 random numbers x following the PDF for α = −0.33, and plot their histogram. [5 points]

(c) Parameter Estimation:
From your simulated dataset, estimate the value of α by using:

• (i) Maximum likelihood [4 points]
• (ii) The method of moments [4 points]

2. Model Selection
The file polydat.txt (available at Canvas Link) contains 21 pairs of data points (x, y), which are most easily read using:

x, y = numpy.loadtxt('polydat.txt')

These data were generated using a polynomial function of order N < 10, evaluated at regularly spaced values of x, with Gaussian measurement errors μ = 0, σ = 0.1 added to each y-value.

Write a script to fit a polynomial of specified order to these data. Fit polynomials of order 0 through 9, and tabulate the following for each fit:

• • χ²

• χ² confidence level
• Akaike Information Criterion (AIC)
• Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC)

Use these values to determine the most likely polynomial order used to generate the data. Additionally, plot your polynomial fit on top of the data, with a y-error of 0.1 for each data point. [12 points]

3. MCMC Astronomy Example: Fitting the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function
In this exercise, you will:

• Write a Monte Carlo program to generate a distribution of galaxy masses following a two-parameter distribution.
• Use Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to recover the parameters of this distribution and explore the degeneracies between them.

The stellar masses M of galaxies in the nearby Universe are described by the Schechter function:

p(log10 M | M*, α) ∝ e−M/M* (M/M*)α+1

Where α is the power-law slope at low masses, and M* represents the location of the exponential cutoff at high masses. The Galaxy and Mass Assembly Survey yields the following parameter values:

log10 M* = 10.66
α = −1.1

(a) Sampling the Distribution:
Write a program to generate the stellar masses of 1,000 galaxies in the mass range 8 < log₁₀ M < 11.5 using the distribution defined by equation (2) with the provided parameters. Use the standard U(0,1) random number generator to efficiently generate the masses. Plot a histogram of the generated masses, using 50 equally spaced bins in log mass, covering the range 8 < log₁₀ M < 11.5, with a logarithmic scale for the frequency axis. [10 points]

(b) Parameter Recovery via MCMC:
Use MCMC to recover the parameters log₁₀ M_* and α, and their 68% confidence intervals from your simulated data. Use maximum likelihood rather than a least squares fit to the histogram, and start with initial guesses of log₁₀ M_* = 11 and α = −1. Show histograms of the parameter values obtained from the MCMC chain, along with a scatter plot of log₁₀ M_* against α to illustrate any degeneracy between the parameters. It is strongly recommended that you use the example code supplied with the emcee library (available at emcee Documentation) and modify it to suit the problem, rather than writing the MCMC code from scratch.

Case of NutriHarvest

It is 8:30 am, and you have just settled into your home office when you notice a 6:30 a.m. text message from your boss, Mr. Raj Patel. He is the Chief Operating Officer of NutriHarvest, a fast-growing 100-person food-tech company that you recently joined as a recruitment strategist, talent development lead, and employee engagement specialist. Switching quickly into work mode, you read Raj’s urgent message outlining a pressing issue NutriHarvest was facing in attracting and retaining talented young (Generation Z) professionals who would commit to the company’s mission and long-term growth.

“If we don’t address this challenge immediately and strategize the most effective use of our human resource budget, we risk falling behind on product innovation and meeting our customized nutrition solutions. This would jeopardize our growth rate and hinder our upcoming investment round, vital for maintaining our market competitiveness and success.”

Raj knew from your hiring conversations that you held strong opinions on these matters. He wanted you to prepare a proposal by the end of the week on how the HR budget should be prioritized. You would then join a task force to collectively decide which areas should receive the highest budget allocations to help NutriHarvest build stronger commitment from its young, ambitious workforce.

NutriHarvest is a 5-year-old food-tech company that competes with other startups in the health and wellness sector. Its competitors include companies across the Asia-Pacific region, with significant operations in countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Like many startups, NutriHarvest’s team is predominantly composed of young, driven professionals. Raj suspected that this cohort, shaped by the unique challenges of their generation and the global pandemic, held different views on work-life balance and career growth compared to those only a few years older. He was acutely aware of the “Great Realignment,” which saw many employees reconsidering their career priorities, and believed that simply offering higher salaries or unique perks like pet care wouldn’t be enough.

Raj was convinced that true engagement was the key to fostering higher productivity and loyalty. Once the company established clear priorities for budget allocation, NutriHarvest could then design targeted training programs, wellness initiatives, or other benefits to solidify employee commitment.

In his message, Raj noted that he would be posting a list of potential focus areas for investment and asked you to rank them in terms of budget importance. He also mentioned a virtual meeting scheduled to allow the task force to consolidate their rankings into one cohesive list based on joint judgment. You knew you needed to gather your thoughts and prepare your own priorities before joining the meeting.

Question 1 (Total 40 marks): General Research on How Each Area Affects Employee Engagement

Your boss has identified FIVE (5) key areas that are relevant to employee engagement, which is a key component of talent management. By applying theories and principles of talent management issues, analyse how each area contributes to employee engagement in general. In other words, do research on how each of the FIVE (5) areas will affect employee engagement in general.

Areas for Focus to Build Employee Engagement	Notes on how each area contributes to employee engagement (150 words maximum for each area). You can use footnotes or endnotes to cite your points. Your answer to each area is worth 8 marks.
Professional Development and Growth Opportunities
Flexible Work Arrangements and Hybrid Work Policies
Wellness and Mental Health Initiatives:
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Programs
Recognition and Reward Systems

Question 2 (Total 60 marks): Employee Engagement in Context of NutriHarvest

Now, use the table below to rank in order the areas of focus (1 = most important, prioritized, 5 = least important, least prioritized). Do this in the context of NutriHarvest. In other words, consider the context, situation of NutriHarvest, and rank in order of importance, the areas of focus for employee engagement.

Areas for Focus to Build Employee Engagement	Ranking
Professional Development and Growth Opportunities
Flexible Work Arrangements and Hybrid Work Policies
Wellness and Mental Health Initiatives:
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Programs
Recognition and Reward Systems

Now, focus on the top THREE (3) areas that you have selected. Discuss how each of the 3 areas affects employee engagement in NutriHarvest specifically. You can draw your insights from research (max words, 1500 words).

Looking at the top THREE (3) areas you have chosen, do the following:

• Appraise the talent management needs of an organisation, NutriHarvest.
• Justification on why you have ranked the areas of focus in their respective rankings (ranking 1, 2, 3) You should conduct research and consider the literature in light of the special context of NutriHarvest.

The maximum word count for this is 1500 words. You can use footnotes and endnotes for your citations. In this question, you will be evaluated on the logic of your arguments, and the strengths of your research and examples cited.
