(this is the second part: this has to be done by (sunday may 26 2024) You are the sales department manager for a U.S.-based company that builds engines for the automotive manufacturing industry. Your company is considering diversifying into other business opportunities where your motors can be sold in order to bolster the company’s portfolio and increase revenue. Based on your knowledge of the national sales landscape, your manager would like you to conduct preliminary research and prepare a presentation with your recommendation for opportunity in a chosen industry that will allow for this diversification through a new sales division and increased sales. You have been asked to make your presentation at the next stakeholder meeting, where you will address internal stakeholders from across the company as well as external stakeholders such as customers, investors, and suppliers.
As a preliminary step in developing this presentation, your manager would like to see an executive summary of your research findings and evaluate your decision modeling.

Data visualization methods offer a different landscape for explaining situations using data. Graphical representations of information, if created properly, can make vital information more intuitive, contextualized, and accessible. Visualization plays an essential part in analyzing big data and simplifying complex data-intensive scenarios.
In this discussion, using the Viz of the Day webpage, select a business-focused visualization to debate in your post (you may have to toggle to more than one page to see business-specific visualizations). Consider the audience and purpose of the visualization you selected, and think about the strategy used to present the information and analysis visually. In your initial post, make sure to include the link to the visualization you selected, and address the following:
Why have you selected this one?
How does the author of the visualization address the audience?
How is the purpose of the visualization conveyed?
How does the visualization use color, ordering, layout, and hierarchy to prioritize information?
In response to at least two of your peers, address the following:
Can you describe ways in which data visualizations make information more accessible to their audience? What would you recommend to make key insights in visualizations more digestible to your audience? What would you avoid?
(part three):
1 .Describe why your company needs to diversify. What problem will diversifying the company solve? What kinds of quantitative and qualitative data will you target in your research on the current auto industry and the new industry?
2.Using information from your research, provide a broad description of the U.S. automotive industry. Be sure to include information related to each item listed above.
3.Using data from your research, write your description of the current market trends in the automotive industry. Be sure to include information related to each item listed above.
4. List your research sources using APA Style. When you download your project as a Word document, your references will automatically be formatted with double-spacing and a hanging indent.
