PREPARE A POWER POINT FOR THE CASE STUDY   

6): Brandon and Marilyn Case Study

Justin Tyme – a registered nurse joins the unit after successfully completing new employee and unit orientation. He had worked for 10 years in a similar unit at St Elsewhere but grew tired of the 2 hour daily commute. He is thrilled to be working closer to home. The staff is ecstatic as the unit has been shorthanded and the census is high. The staff likes working with Justin. He is friendly fellow and frequently brings hot donuts and a huge thermos of Peets coffee for the staff. He is always willing to help with lifting and turning patients and often in the first one to respond to patients lights. Justin does not always follow through on his observations and physician orders; he often misses giving routine meds. The staff has taken to routinely double checking Justin’s orders and the following shift often dispenses the missed meds. One morning, Dr. Tauk comes in to review the speech consult he ordered the day before on his patient, Mrs. Dee Phagia, prior to ordering her a diet. Dr Tauk cannot find the consult and asks Charity N. Able RN to locate it and call him. Charity discovers that the order had never been placed. 

On follow up, Charity discovers not to her surprise- that Justin was the nurse who noted the order. Charity does not talk to the manager but does point out the error to Justin who feels terrible about it. Over the next month, Justin continues to make intermittent “small” mistakes which cause no harm to patients and the staff continues to cover. Today, Dr. L. Ovin comes in and notices that her patient, Mr. hart is in atria fibrillation. She orders stat IV digoxin and cancels the scheduled diagnostic procedures. Mr Hart remains in atria fib and as you review his chart, you discover that Justin missed the last two routine digoxin doses.

Read through the Tree Trimming Project case in chapter 13 of the textbook. This case refers to the earned value (EV) of the owner, Will Fence’s Tree Trimming business. Will briefly describes his techniques for EV. Based on the description provided in the case, is Will using EV?

Answer the corresponding question provided at the end of the case (300-500 words). Use references from the reading materials to support your response.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Tree Trimming Project

Wil Fence is a large timber and Christmas tree farmer who is attending a project man-agement class in the spring, his off season. When the class topic came to earned value, he was perplexed. Isn’t he using EV? Each summer Wil hires crews to shear fields of Christmas trees for the coming Holiday season. Shearing entails having a worker use a large machete to shear the branches of the tree into a nice, cone-shaped tree. Wil describes his business as follows:A. I count the number of Douglas Fir Christmas trees in the field (24,000).B. Next, I agree on a contract lump sum for shearing with a crew boss for the whole field ($30,000).C. When partial payment for work completed arrives (5 days later), I count or estimate the actual number sheared (6,000 trees). I take the actual as a percent of the total to be sheared, multiply the percent complete by total contract amount for the partial payment [(6,000/$30,000 = 25%), (.25 × $30,000 = $7500)].1. Is Wil over, on, or below cost and schedule? Is Wil using earned value?2. How can Wil set up a scheduling variance?

Management- s1

/in /by

This assignment involves making a personal assessment of a relevant set of skills, focusing on your strengths, and identifying any weaknesses that may have been revealed. You will then create a plan by which you can “grow” your strengths and shore up your weaknesses. By the end of the project, you will have a personal management profile and action plan.

As we have discussed, your values and attitudes interact with your personality to create a strong effect on your work life. The fit between an individual’s personality and a company’s “style” is essential to job satisfaction. Someone who is risk-averse, for example, would probably be unhappy at 3M, a company with a reputation for innovation and risk-taking.  Understanding the impact of your own personality on others helps you build productive work relationships with peers, subordinates, and bosses, alike. 

Refer to the required and optional sources for this module, and any other materials which will help you in understanding personality styles and how they affect organizational effectiveness.  Remember to follow Trident’s guidelines for masters-level writing. (See the Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper.) 

Assignment 

Click on this link to access and complete the Jung Typology personality test. After you complete the test, you will want to read the description, but in order to fully understand what this test measures, you should also review “Personality Type explained.” Then review the pages on career choices, learning style and communication skills. Incorporate this information in formulating your responses to the questions below.

Include the actual results in an appendix at the end of your paper. (Note: This appendix requirement will likely increase your paper’s Turnitin similarity score; however, your professor is aware of this.)

Prepare a 2- to 3-page essay that addresses the following: 

How does my personality type affect my career and effectiveness at my job?

Discuss:

  • What did the test reveal about you?
  • What can you infer from this test about your strengths and weaknesses?
  • How does what you have learned from your module background materials about your personality type affect your motivation? Is this limited to a specific type of situation?
  • What specific steps can you take to increase your strengths and build up weaknesses?

Refer to at least two module readings plus any other materials to help you in understand personality styles and how they affect organizational effectiveness. Complete the assessment according to the guidelines. Include the actual results in an Appendix section as the last page of your paper.

Follow the writing guidelines and other sources listed under the Optional Materials heading on the Module 1 Background page.

Business Statistics Project Using Excel and Word

/in /by

 From the Professor-

WHY?

This question is often asked: “Why Excel and Word?”  As I have stated in class before, individuals that will deal with data, whether analysts, accountants, product managers, etc…, need to be able to find patterns in the data and report on them.  This is a brief introduction to that world.  Given that this is an economics class, the project will focus on economic data.

It has been heavily studied that inflation-adjusted GDP (aka Real GDP) is affected by a myriad of variables, such as incomes, education rates, unemployment levels, and inflation.  Multiple proxies and models have been put together to try and find better measurements of real GDP.  Well, it is our turn.  For this project, you will investigate which of the following variables has the greatest explanatory ability on real GDP:  (1) employed individuals, (2) a human capital index (think of this as a proxy for training and education), and/or (3) the inflation of popular foods.

The data set is based on the 2019 real GDP levels for over 150 nations.

DIRECTIONS

You have until December 18, 2020 11:59:59pm PST to turn in an EXCEL/WORD document via Canvas.  The subject header must be E3060 – PROJECT – LAST NAME, FIRST NAME.  Any deviation from this will result in a 10 point penalty.

You will download the file called ECON3060PROJECT.XLS from the Class Project Module found on Canvas. 

There are two sections (see QUESTIONS FOR THE PROJECT):

  1. Data Exploration and Preliminary Analysis
  2. Multiple Regression/Model Building

You will perform some analyses in Excel, save it and then provide a summary in Word.  There is no required length.  You are going to be graded on completing the EXCEL portion and the summarizing of the data in WORD/PDF document.  I will not grade on grammar.  You are encouraged to use the class notes for the exercise.

I need a 5-page essay with complete in-text citations and references did. Plagiarism free did by 5/14/21

Here is what is required to complete the essay:

 

Using the company you have been assigned(COCA-COLA) for the Strategic Plan Writing Assignment, write a report of no more than five pages double-spaced that addresses the following three items:

  1. Identify your firm’s major business and growth strategies along with any stated strategic objectives. The textbook and video lectures will help you in identifying these strategies as there are a limited number of them to choose from.  Are the strategies in alignment with your firm’s stated mission and vision?  (note: All firms have strategies and objectives, which should be in the annual shareholders’ report or 10-K, though they may be called something different).
  2. Investigate if your firm has used acquisitions and/or alliances for growth (these are typically disclosed in the 10-K report). What types of acquisitions have they done in the past and have they been successful?  What firms do they have alliances with and what is the strategic reason behind the alliance? 
  3. Compare your firm’s strategies and strategic objectives to those of the other competitors in your strategic group. What issues do you note? Are they fighting over the same markets, similar objectives, and with similar business models, or, are they completely different?

Capstone Component 1 Final Submission: Comprehensive Program Proposal

/in /by

Prompt

You will develop a comprehensive, professional program proposal that addresses an identified healthcare issue by interpreting the existing literature regarding the issue and developing a proposal that utilizes evidence-based resources throughout.

Program Proposal : ‘Patient Safety and Quality’ 

Capstone Component 1: Program Proposal

For the first of your two capstone components, you should first conduct a preliminary search of literature to help you define gaps in existing knowledge pertinent to healthcare in the United States. Limit yourself to evidence-based sources only. Select a specific issue confronting your healthcare organization that you can effectively address through your capstone program proposal. Examples might include financial challenges, implementation of healthcare reform, government mandates, patient safety and quality, and care for the uninsured, among others. Determine whether the issue involves a specific target population or populations. If so, be sure that the target population’s need that you investigate is supported by literature. In the event that your issue does not address a target population’s needs, you may investigate healthcare issues that impact specific organizations, or your specific interests in the area of healthcare.

You must include, but are not limited to, the following sections in your program proposal. If there are elements of your program that are important, but not covered below, you should also include them in your proposal.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I.

Introduction

This should include a brief statement of the problem, purpose of program, and its impact on your selected healthcare issue. Identify the issue to be addressed and include an accurate and detailed overview of the issue, including a discussion of the effect of your identified issue on population health outcomes, vulnerable populations, and your organization’s healthcare reimbursement policies and procedures. In general, include all information that you think is necessary to establish a comprehensive analysis and foundation for understanding your chosen issue and proposed program. This section should also describe your target audience (such as healthcare executives, administrators, and clients) in relation to this proposal and why your proposal would be relevant for this audience. For example, how might your proposal help hospital administrators make effective and ethical decisions surrounding patient safety and quality?

Needs Assessment

Develop a statement of need that allows the reader to learn more about your selected issue, presents evidence that supports the need for your program, and demonstrates that your organization understands the need and can address the issue. If the issue involves a specific target population, be sure to identify that population’s specific needs. Discuss specific management theories that guided your identification of the issue.

III.

IV.

V.

VI.

Resource Allocation

Provide an in-depth description of the resources required to implement your program, such as qualified staff, information management systems, other technology and equipment, and financial resources, among others. Also describe your plan for accessing and assigning available resources in the most economical way to achieve your program’s future goals. In other words, how will you schedule activities and acquire the resources required for those activities while considering both resource availability and the project timeline?

Planning

Provide a comprehensive program plan that includes its objectives (that is, measurable improvements in behavior, performance, process, or a tangible item that will result from your program); ethical and legal considerations and their anticipated effect on healthcare reimbursement, policy, and governance; anticipated issue-related outcomes and your plan to address them; how your identified resources will support the success of the program; target population being served (if applicable); and a timeline for meeting program objectives.

Implementation

Provide a detailed description of the activities leading to achieving the objectives identified, including your rationale behind their selection, their sequence, and your reasoning behind why these methods may work.

Evaluation Methodologies

Provide a comprehensive description of how your organization (and potential funders) will know the program is successful. Items to consider include methods for measuring success, who will be performing the evaluation, and how the methods will be selected. You should also include your plan for gathering data, using test instruments, analyzing data, using evaluation for program improvements, and any specific evaluation reports that should be produced.

Your program proposal should be submitted in a professional format. The final product is suggested to be in the range of 15 to 20 pages; however, design and proper professional presentation are more important than page count, because in the real world there are usually not any page-length requirements. Therefore, the 15- to 20-page range is a suggestion, and you should use your best professional judgment regarding the length of your proposal.
