Multivariate Analysis

MVS which stands for multivariate is basically based upon the principles of stats related to multivariate statistics, which involves the analysis and observation of more than just one outcome at a time of a statistical variable. In its analysis and design, this technique is used in performing studies of trade across a multiple dimensions, at the same time taking into account the separate effects which are associated with each of the variables on the interested responses. Its use include, capability based design also known as design for capability, inverse design where all the given variables can be treated with the characteristics of independent variable, AOA also known as Analysis of Alternatives which is the selection process of various concepts that are required to fulfill the need of a customer, analysis of the concepts given the change in the scenarios, and for identifying the correlations and critical design drivers across levels of hierarchy (Mardia et al,1979).

The use of multivariate analysis can be complicated if the user desires to include a physics based analysis in order to calculate the various effects related to the variables for a hierarchy of system of systems. Often the studies that aim to use the multivariate analysis, by the dimensionality of the given problem are stalled. And by the use of surrogate models, these concerns are solved, which is a very highly accurate approximation of the physics based code. But for a quantitative study, multivariate analysis is most appropriate when the study is being asked to perform a correlation between the quantitative data of different variables that are provided in the study, and its effects on each other.

Leadership, Organizational Change, and Social Change

The change is any modification that enables organizations to stay in a temporary space environment that is relatively stable. Change could be defined as the action and effect of changing any set pattern or behavior. It is not a straight forward process, and there will always be something that blocks or resists to it (Shehabuddeen, 2007).

Joseph Schumpeter highlights the importance of innovation in an organization. According to him, innovation is the key to tangible success in an organization. It is considered that innovation can only be in product features and modernization of the prevalent concept. However, Schumpeter suggested that innovation is not bound only to product development and enhancement if product features. He defines innovation in four two dimensions. One of the ...
