Assignment: Evidence-Based Project

Is there a difference between “common practice” and “best practice”?

When you first went to work for your current organization, experienced colleagues may have shared with you details about processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you perform your new role.

Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.

Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it a common practice or a best practice?

In this Assignment, you will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.
  • Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest.
  • Review the results of your peer-reviewed research and reflect on the process of using an unfiltered database to search for peer-reviewed research.
  • Reflect on the types of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Part 1: An Introduction to Clinical Inquiry

Create a 4- to 5-slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

  • Identify and briefly describe your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Describe how you used keywords to search on your chosen clinical issue of interest.
  • Identify the four research databases that you used to conduct your search for the peer-reviewed articles you selected.
  • Provide APA citations of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Part 2: Identifying Research Methodologies

After reading each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, use the Matrix Worksheet template to analyze the methodologies applied in each of the four peer-reviewed articles. Your analysis should include the following:

  • The full citation of each peer-reviewed article in APA format.
  • A brief (1-paragraph) statement explaining why you chose this peer-reviewed article and/or how it relates to your clinical issue of interest, including a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest.
  • A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article.
  • A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the research methodology used. Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods approach. Be specific.
  • A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Inclusive and Differentiated Learning and Assessments

As you learned in the Iris Center module titled Universal Design for Learning: Creating a Learning Environment that Challenges and Engages All Students, assessment is one of the four key curricular components. Just like how we need to make the environments we design and the strategies we use to support children and adults with diverse needs inclusive and differentiated, we must also do so with the assessments we use. For your assignment this week, you will have the opportunity to learn more about inclusive and differentiate assessments and learning. This assignment will be differentiated based on your degree program. Please select the link below for your program to review your assignment directions.

Week 7 – Assignment: Recommend a Plan for Financial Planning and Budgeting for Global Expansion

/in /by

DUE IN 36 HOURS

 

Instructions

In this ever-expanding global market, if you do not now work for a global organization, it is very likely someday you will. Even if you work for a local company today, selling goods internationally is becoming ever more common. As you consider this likelihood, you have to think about the kind of financial and budgeting considerations that come into play. After all, the sale of goods over the Internet means a product sold in your local town may be purchased by someone around the world. In some cases, companies make the decision to purposely seek after and expand their sales initiatives internationally to increase their market share and improve their odds of reaching the right customer.

Global expansion requires many elements of analysis and planning. Some of those factors are beyond the scope of this course, but the budgeting and financial planning of those activities are important. These planning ideas can include budgeting for costs related to human resources, training, marketing, real estate, legal filings. For this week, you are being asked to act as a planner for a company expanding into a global market. You may wish to reflect on what Nutella did to expand out of Italy. Please see the instructions below.

Assignment Instructions: Think of a company in your area that makes a product that you really like. If you cannot think of a company or product you can create one. Now, imagine you are asked to present a budget and financial plan to help the company to take that favorite local product globally. If you wish, you may select a single country to focus on. In your capacity as a budgeting and financial management consultant for this company, you have been asked to create a financial plan with a 3-year annualized budget for expansion. Your plan should include budgeting analysis of licensing, legal recognition, trademarking, partnerships (if needed), marketing, advertising, warehousing, distribution, quarterly market reporting, and other elements you wish to add. Your goal is to recommend a budget that will cover the expansion of the product distribution into at least three new countries during the 3 years. You will present your plan as a PowerPoint presentation. Remember, this is a marketing piece showing your skills as a budgeting and financial consultant. You really want to impress your clients with a solid budget and analysis on how to make their local product a global product.

Length: 10-15 slides

References: Since you will select a local company, you may use local references to cite what the company does. You should have no less than three self-researched sources for your slide presentation.

Your presentation should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

Create a presentation: You may use Prezi, PowerPoint, video, or other presentation format. Your slide presentation must be six to eight slides in length, not including the required References slide. Other formats such as video must be 3-4 minutes in length including the required References section/frame.

    • Follow good design principles. Visit the CSU-Global Visual Presentation Tips at http://csuglobal.libguides.com/CommonWritingAssign/vispresent (Links to an external site.).
  • Generate Solid, Logical Content:
    • The presentation should lead the viewer through the information in sequential order with transitions of some type making a cohesive presentation.
    • Include a three-page transcript to accompany the presentation. Information must be thoroughly covered in the submitted document, without requiring supplemental documents. That is, all information must be conveyed clearly and completely in the slide presentation, without a formal presentation or speech accompanying the slides.
    • include an introduction and thesis statement, a body, a conclusion, and a references slide.
    • Do not rely on personal or published opinions that denote value. All information presented must be backed with scholarly, peer-reviewed references.

Creating Contracts to Avoid Moral Hazard

/in /by

Competency

Demonstrate how economic theory contributes to strategic managerial decision-making.

Course Scenario

Oil Company X is a large oil refinery which has been expanding and  taking on new investment projects. Recently, they have considered  building a pipeline that stretches across the United States, from Canada  to New Orleans.

The Board is in the process of hiring a new CEO for the firm. They  are concerned about the problem of moral hazard and want to know how  they can reduce or eliminate this via contract. They have tasked you, a  team member in the Cost Department, with analyzing the following  possible payment systems for the new CEO:

  1. Fixed fee: The new CEO will receive a fixed wage.
  2. Profit sharing: The new CEO receives 15% of the firm’s profit, with  no wage. The current value of the firm’s profit, multiplied times 0.15,  is equivalent to the fixed fee wage in option 1.
  3. Stock Options: The new CEO receives a base salary, with additional  stock options tied to total profits. The base salary is 10% lower than  the fixed fee from option 1, with the additional 10% given in stocks.
  4. Bonuses: The new CEO receives a base salary, with an additional  stock bonus which is tied to total revenues. The base salary is 10%  lower than the fixed fee from option 1, with the additional 10% given as  a bonus tied to the total revenue from the prior year.
  5. Stock Options and Bonus: The new CEO receives a base salary, with  additional stock options tied to total profits. The base salary is 10%  lower than the fixed fee from option 1, with an additional 5% given in  stocks and 5% given in the form of a bonus.

Instructions

You will create a presentation detailing the pros and cons of each  potential payment system, including a final recommendation. Be sure to  explain whether the firm or the CEO will bear all risk, or if they split  the risk with each contract.

Record a presentation as if explaining this to the Board. There are  many free screen recording software/Webware options available (such as  Screencast-O-Matic) to use in presenting your PowerPoint. Make sure that  both your voiced narration and the PowerPoint slides are captured  during your screen recording.

After recording, paste a link to the recording on the last slide of  the PowerPoint presentation. You will submit the PowerPoint in the Drop  Box.

Format your PowerPoint to include a title page, introduction, body  slides, conclusion, and references. Remember to cite your sources using  correct APA format, and also use correct grammar, spelling, and  formatting.

*for recording just create a memo slide that I can do the recording from*
