The Application of Epidemiological Statistics in Crisis Management Crisis management entails the efforts that various organizations make to recover from a crisis and prevent its reoccurrence. Epidemiological statistics refers to the analysis and presentation of data on the distribution and patterns of health and disease conditions. Utilizing the epidemiological data during a health crisis is vital for the effective management of these crises. Institutions charged with the management of a crisis can utilize epidemiological statistics to plan an effective response because the data gives a clear picture of the problem’s extent. Understanding the number of people affected enables responders to allocate adequate resources for the management of the crisis, ensuring that everyone who is affected is adequately catered for. Analysis of epidemiological statistics on the opioid crisis revealed younger people were more at risk, and interventions were focused on this group (Dasgupta, Beletsky & Ciccarone, 2018). Data can, therefore, be analyzed to identify at-risk individuals and direct efforts to protect them from a crisis. An analysis of epidemiological statistics can enable authorities to determine the effectiveness of their response and…

It shows that low levels of analysts’ experts ensure that there is no continuity of businesses, thus leading to slow business growth.

Software Project Management. Scenario 1 If entrusted with the role of a project manager at the Waltham office, and working with a limited budget, the two attributes I would consider in hiring candidates would be: that they must be fluent in both English and the local language. This will enable a smooth process in management as there would be a secure flow of information between the Development manager, the software engineers and I. Secondly, I would prefer candidates that have lived in the local country. This is because such people are well versed in the environment. Hence there will be less resistance when it comes to implementing the project. Scenario 2             As the Scrum Master of an underperforming team, it would be prudent to introduce bonuses.
