Good afternoon everyone,

US Airways’ merger with American Airlines in 2013 is certainly one of the most publicized M&As of the last decade as it effectively made the industry an oligopoly. Southwest Airlines, Delta Airlines, United Airlines, and American Airline’s Group (AAL) effectively took control over 86 percent of the market (Siegert & Ulbricht, 2020). However, what was more interesting about this merger is that a small player took over a much larger one. This type of merger is generally rare and has unique challenges and characteristics. In the “Merging American Airlines and US Airways” case, two major change initiatives were evident: large-scale enterprise transformation and operational change (Groysberg, Lee, Price & Cheng, 2018). Concerning the latter, the two companies were polar opposites when it came to culture. At American Airlines, captains were known to wait for customers who were late for their flights. In contrast, at US Airways, management discouraged this behavior, noting it had direct and indirect implications that could snowball into major problems. Another difference was the organizational structure. US Airways had a flat system that made it easy for employees to interact with executives. The company, for example, had free parking zones where a flight controller could park next to a vice president. At American Airlines, the executive was removed from the rest of the group and rarely mingled with employees (Fubini, Garvin & Knoop, 2017). They had separate parking and one had to get security clearance to meet the CEO.

In my view, technical change was the easiest to implement since the company followed guidelines that have been proven to work. For example, it oversaw thorough and effective training, was transparent about team selection and integration, and maintained consistent communication across both entities. The most difficult was large-scale enterprise transformation as it touched on cultural change. Integration meant doing away with practices that created inefficiencies and conflict and embracing ones that enhanced the relationship between the two groups.

Though HR certainly played a major role in this effort, there are areas where it would be better if they avoided. Revenue accounting and procurement stand out because they largely rely on systems rather than interactions among individuals.

Hi Class and Professor,

Reading the case about American Airlines and US Airways, I can conclude that the change initiatives involved are crisis/emergency, M&A, and operational/technical change. In this case, the emergency was AA going into bankruptcy and losing so much money that the only opportunity they had to save the company was to merge with US Airways that did so much better profits that same year. The operational/technical change came into play by that these companies had to make sure that all workers had the same attitude and work that the combative would have to change their behaviors to work with different people in the opposite company, even if there wasn’t shared values at the moment (Fubini, et al. 1).

Out of all the change initiatives in the lecture notes, the easiest one I think would be strategic change because this basically looking at all the workers involved and evaluating their job roles. This is important because for this merger to be successful leaders have to understand which employees are best in the job roles provided whether tenure or not. I think the hardest would be a transformational change because the merger is so big and involves so many players that leaders have to strategize on cultural change that can have shared values, the mission, and vision that can be agreed upon by both company leaders, etc. There is just so much to focus on to make sure that both sides can work together and agree upon big issues that it seems that it would be a difficult task to get buy-in from everyone (JWI556 Week 7 Lecture Notes, 2).

I feel we’ve learned anything from the previous class that it is important to stay involved in things going on at the lower levels of the company. HR has had this role that they usually don’t get involved on these levels with strategy and operations that are usually taken care of by low-management. I do think that HR has a role in all these change initiatives because they have this role of taking care of the people and all of these are about people-first. It only makes sense for HR to play a big role in making sure that the leaders are doing what is expected and making sure behaviors are being changed by communicating why the changes are occurring. Transparency is always important in gaining employees’ trust and allowing open communication of different opinions.

Journal entry #4

/in /by

After exploring the stories behind single stories let’s move on to transforming them— and the world that creates them! Adichie explains, “Stories matter. Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair that broken dignity” (17:20).

Entry Instructions

In the spirit of moving toward social justice in our world, our communities, and our daily activities, I’m inviting you to creatively “re-create” our world and offer a vision of justice and equity. The WEEK 15 readings offer some examples of creative re-visions that 

  • challenge social, political, economic, and cultural aspect(s) of identity and
  • disrupt single-story ideas, consider intersections of systems and structures. 

These transformative visions challenge simple understandings of our identities and can thus be a tool to critique injustice and demand justice.

Instructions

Make something creative! Your creation should take one of the “forms” used by authors of our required texts. These forms are creative prose (Cisneros), a dictionary entry (Walker), a poem (Anzaldúa), a speech (Truth), a poster (Guerrilla Girls), and a manifesto (Freespirit and Aldebaran). You can focus on an identity or a form of injustice in your creation and transform it in a way that you choose. You don’t need to explore the same topics or ideas in this week’s texts. Your creative text should be at least 100 words unless you create a poster; the poster doesn’t have a specific word requirement.

Write a minimum 150-word statement explaining why you chose a particular form and how you hope your creation will transform a single story about identity. As with other entries, you must cite specific parts of at least two required texts: one from week 15 and one from any week. (And, of course, you’re welcome to refer to additional texts!)

Please Answer According The Comments. Thanks. Remember 100 Words For Each. Reference Between 2013-2018. Thanks

Comment 1

Many provisions are being done to the affordable care act most of which are trying to demonstrate reducing the cost, which is not proving to be enough. Another approach that is becoming primary is focusing on the overall quality, and coordination of the patients care. By focusing on the overall quality of care, this includes everyone who is involved in the care of the patient. Medical/Health homes are homes that provide patients with a central primary care practice or provider. The homes allow providers to focus on preventative care and chronic care management. This program will also help reduce dependence on specialist and emergency care.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act authorizes who how contracts directly with the state to establish community-based interdisciplinary and interprofessional teams in supporting the patients’ primary care.
The interdisciplinary and interprofessional teams may then decided if medical specialist, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, dieticians, social work, behavioral health and mental health providers are necessary for care.
I believe that this can be beneficial to patients and healthcare in the fact that it reduces that amount of emergent and acute care issues. If a patient is coming into one provider for preventative care check with hope to detect symptoms early and treat with a primary doctor avoiding the need to see a specialist reducing the cost to the patient and the healthcare provider. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act determines who is eligible for an interdisciplinary team so not everyone will be at the mercy of the team also reducing the cost. The quality of care should remain at the same level the Medical/Health Homes just won’t be utilizing as many providers if the patient does not require them. Not to mention patient will have access to Medical/Health 24/7 interviewees reported that 24/7 access to a care provider is also an essential element of the medical home equation even if only through telephonic or electronic means, helps reduce reliance on emergency rooms and resultant preventable hospitalizations (ANA, 2010).
According to Nester (2016), succeeding in the current care environment can only be possible if inter-professional teams will come together and work as a unit. As such, the inter-disciplinary or interprofessional Practice Model as emphasized in the Institute of Medicine report can be termed as innovative.

Comment 2

One innovative health care delivery model which incorporates an interdisciplinary care delivery team is a systematic approach to the flow of care. First a patient presents with certain symptoms or complaints related to his or her health. There might be positive screenings from tests they have already received related to their symptoms. Following a diagnostic workup, a tentative diagnosis regarding their concern can be made. Following this diagnosis, it might be necessary to send the patient to a medical/surgical bed or ICU. They might require medical or surgical intensive care, or simply be sent home. Each stream follows a different set of procedures and personnel responsible for determining the correct path for each patient. This is advantageous to patient outcomes because it ensures that they receive the optimal treatment for their ailments. Standardizing the process and keeping it organizational will greatly benefit patient outcomes and ensure that there is no delay in care. “Each of these steps potentially involves a myriad of options, each of which is directed by a different specialist. This can sometimes result in care that is not clinically appropriate” (Osarogiagbon et. al, 2016, p. 984). All members of the interdisciplinary team need to communicate with one another, rather than just making care decisions based on individual assertions and collecting data together. This can cause disjunction in critical information, delay treatment, and have adverse effects in patient outcomes. 

Comment 3

As science has advanced to allow for more treatment options and cures for patients, providers have found themselves providing a more distanced type of care. With the distance of care, patient and families have been left less educated of their health status and reason for treatments leaving the patients to not feel as secure or in control of their health (Barry & Edgman-Levitan, 2012). In the Institute of Medicine report called Crossing the Quality Chasm, the IOM attempted to introduce an approach to assist in the reform of health care by explaining patient-centered care (Barry & Edgman-Levitan, 2012). The IOM described patient-centered care as care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs and values (Barry & Edgman-Levitan, 2012). This care model calls clinicians to work as partners and coaches in a patient’s health care journey rather than as a dictator (Barry & Edgman-Levitan, 2012). Such a care model asks patients and their families to become allies with the health care team in designing, implementing and evaluating medical options (Barry & Edgman-Levitan, 2012). Treatment and interventions must be presented to the patient as an option as they always have a choice, especially when options are deemed to have consequences.

As clinicians relinquish their authority role of decision making and move towards a shared-decision making approach they are more equipped to view the experience through the patient’s eyes (Barry & Edgman-Levitan, 2012). This will allow providers to be more responsive to patient’s needs and treat their patients better. Also, clinicians are able to embrace the ethical principles of autonomy and beneficence with this type of model (Reuben & Tinetti, 2012). Patient centered and shared decision care benefits patients by increasing their knowledge of their disease, allow decisions to be aligned with their values, reduced internal conflict and more inclined for positive outcomes when patients are actively engaged (Barry & Edgman-Levitan, 2012). One of the largest barriers to goal-oriented and shared-decision modeled patient care is that medicine is deeply rooted in a disease-outcome–based rather than asking what patients want; the culture values managing each disease as well as possible according to guidelines (Reuben & Tinetti, 2012).

Commentary 1

Movie: Mambo Girl (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUAXLBm3heY)

After watching the movie, you should write two arguments, and the reading and the movie should use quote

Requirement：

1. Purpose: to cultivate the habits of critical reading by making arguments and providing evidence 

2. Content: identify an argument (not merely a topic) from a required reading (with direct quotations and page numbers) and discuss it in relation to the designated film of the day 

3. Focus: your ability to articulate someone else’ argument and state your interpretation of a film in relation to that argument; mere factual information or plot summary won’t count as argument 

4. Length: 1 double-space page or 350 words for each short paper; the portion in excess of the limit will not be graded for credit 

5. Grading: out of 10 points for each commentary, 3 for identification of an argument and logical transition, 3 points for film discussion focused on details, and 4 for writing (grammar, expression, coherence, style)

6. Make sure you have a clear argument or statement: find a focus to organize your writing

7. A general plot or characterization summary earns little credit

8. Analyze film in detail (e.g., mise-en-scene, smiles or other facial expressions, camera angles)

9. Rephrase key words for better connection between the reading and your film analysis (e.g., metaphor, allegory, realism)

10. Always use the readings assigned in the same week as primary films; the same formula for commentaries 2-3

12. Your quote must be relevant to the rest of your discussion

13. Avoid a long quote or 2 or more quotes in a commentary

14. Similarly, avoid discussing 2 or more ideas because there is no space to do that adequately

15. Proofread your paper or grade yourself to improve before submitting

16. No need for a separate Works Cited page, but use in-text reference (e.g., Teo, page #)

Benchmark – Analyzing Cognitive and Educational Evaluation

/in /by

educationspecial education

The cognitive and educational evaluation is a main data source for MET teams to determine eligibility and placement for special education services. All team members must make decisions and advocate for educational instruction, strategies, and placement based on evaluation report results. Collaboration with parents about sharing evaluation results and seeking consent for special education services is also a required professional and legal element. Teachers should gain valuable skills and knowledge regarding analysis, decision-making, and sharing results that pertain to cognitive and educational evaluations.

Part 1: Formal and Informal Assessment

Read the “Analyzing Cognitive and Educational Evaluation Report” provided for student Adam Gallery. Based on the report, create a table with a column for each formal and informal assessment. Complete the table with the following information, labeling each column and row:

  • In the first row, clearly identify each assessment.
  • In the second row, describe how each assessment is technically sound and minimizes rater bias
  • In the next row, provide a summary of Adam’s results on each assessment that will help guide appropriate educational decisions. (Do not simply cut and paste the findings.)
  • In the last row, explain why the selected assessment tool is appropriate for diagnosing Adam’s strengths and needs.

Beneath the table, in a 500-750 word analysis, advocate for the appropriate educational decisions for this student based on the assessment results. The analysis should include:

  • Recommendations for any needed classroom accommodations or modifications, and placement for specific content areas.
  • Appropriate accommodations for Adam’s assessments or testing conditions, including the use of technology for these accommodations.
  • Reflection on the role of special education teachers as advocates for students to help students realize and develop their unique talents and skills.

Part 2: Parent Script

Using the “Analyzing Cognitive and Educational Evaluation Report,” compose a 250-500 word script seeking consent for special education services from Adam’s parents. Your script should include a hypothetical conversation (e.g., provide the actual verbiage/wording that would be exchanged) with the parents where results of the MET report are appropriately relayed and specific wording seeking consent for services is included.

Support your findings by citing the “Analyzing Cognitive and Educational Evaluation Report” where appropriate.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

In 1944, finance specialists and bankers from around the world met to discuss what the post-WWII monetary system would be. Given the instability of the pre-war period, the goal was to create a new system. The outcome of this was the Bretton Woods system, which had the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency linked to gold at $35 an ounce. All other currencies were tied to the dollar with limits on how much they could appreciate or depreciate. The system lasted until the 1970s, when the United States decided to move away from gold convertibility. The modern system is based on supply and demand for currency and a managed float. Discuss the following in your main post: 

  • The U.S. dollar remains the world’s reserve currency. Is this good for the United States, and if so, why? 
  • People usually think a “strong” dollar is good. Is this true for U.S. businesses, and does it help or hurt the U.S. balance of payments?

Part B: You are to think back over the course of US History from 1877 to the present day. Think about the individuals who have been a part of that history.

  1. List 10 historical figures (U.S. history 1877 to the present) that you would invite to dinner. These individuals can be alive today or be deceased. They CANNOT be related to you. These individuals must be part of American history, not simply an influence on American history. After each name, list 3 clear and distinct reasons why you would choose that person. (this part is worth 30 pts.)
  2. After you have all 10 listed along with the 3 reasons, think about what is occurring in our country today. Choose one issue of today that is significant in the United States. Your task is to find a solution to that issue, based on how you think your 10 member committee would solve the problem. Your solution is based on a plan created by all members of the team, NOT individual solutions. This means that all members of your committee have a part in the solution and you must describe the contribution each would make. Please remember that their individual contributions must be realistic. In other words, their contributions must be in line with actions they have taken in the past. You cannot simply “fit” each person into your plan if the actions you are assigning are not something that person would more than likely do or has not done. Again, it must be realistic and have a historical basis (this is worth 30 pts.)

Question?

/in /by

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 of the course text, read the media piece Why Facebook Could Be Good for Your Health (Links to an external site.), read the journal article “Social Relationships and Health,” and watch the video Research Ethics Involving Human Subjects (Links to an external site.).

Now that the literature review has been completed, the text reading this week covers how important theories can be highlighted that will support your research topic. For example, particular groups may naturally link to known theories, such as feminist theory for women’s perspectives, or queer theory for perspectives from the LGBTQ community. The text also covers extensive writing tips in regard to scholarly writing which can help you reflect and develop your own scholarly writing in coursework that requires research. A third aim of the discussion is to touch on the integral aspect of preparation for performing research, ensuring you have considered the ethical concerns and protections for your research participants or subjects.

In your initial post, address the following:

  • Describe a social theory that was discussed in the “Social Relationships and Health” journal article and indicate how it was used to support the research.
  • Choose one of the quantitative research results presented in the article; describe the evidence presented and indicate which variables of the experiment were highlighted.
  • Determine the article’s conclusion in regards to social relationships in society. Based on the accompanying media piece “Why Facebook Could Be Good for Your Health (Links to an external site.),” how could modern social media sites support the research findings in the journal article?
  • The course text reading discussed how research can also use the transformative paradigm in social theory to impact social change. How does it do this and what types of societal populations can the transformative paradigm specifically impact?
  • An important aspect of impactful research is that it should be disseminated through a scholarly document such as a research report or journal article. The author of the course text provides some helpful tips in scholarly writing. What tips did you find most useful to further develop your own scholarly writing in course work which requires research papers or a project?
  • Lastly, a research study should always be ethically performed. According to the course text reading and your review of the video, “Research Ethics Involving Human Subjects (Links to an external site.)”, answer the following:
    • The Belmont Report of 1979 established three ethical principles for research. Name the three principles and explain each principle.
    • All Universities and Research Institutions are federally mandated to follow ethics guidelines in the research performed which include the principles of The Belmont Report of 1979 – name what this set of guidelines is commonly known as, and describe what it covers.

Your initial post should be at least 800 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. In your responses, be sure to note any interesting aspects of their response, such as the theory or quantitative research they noted from the article, or the writing tips they found most useful. Your responses should be at least 200 words in length.
