Question 1
From the visualization and analysis, we can safely conclude that Kasios International is not growing and is quite stable over the years as the trend of calls, emails, purchases remain same. We can say that company has not expanded its resources over 2 and half years. But the company is getting more organized in terms of formal meetings as number of meetings shows increasing trend over the period of 2 years, specially after October 2015 which can be an indicator of changes in higher management for the organization or any other organizational changes.
Question 2
- Based on the analysis, we interpreted Richard Fox and Lindsy Henion are very prominent employees among the suspicious group.
- Among all other 20 suspicious employees, Richard Fox has the biggest network outside the suspicious group as well.
- List of the employees who are not in suspicious group but appeared to be closely associated with suspicious group members - Sachiko Sanabria, Garrett Sanfilippo, Lottie Grant, Palmer Kilborne, Michelina Lindorf, Bernard Harper, Laurice Eichenberg, Alexander Stevenson, Wilhelmina Nybo, Herman Todd, Jaunita Westen, Terrilyn Overkamp, Madeline Nindorf.
- Suspicious Purchases - Employees involved in suspicious purchases are - Tobi Gatlin, Rosalia Larroque, Richard Fox, Meryl Pastuch, Jenice Savaria, Lizbeth Jindra, Gail Feindt
- Other than suspicious employee provided by insider, only person involved in suspicious purchases is Gail Feindt who received most of the purchases. So, we can say that he must be communicating with the suppliers to place the purchase orders.
