There are two objectives for the Course Project. To analyze a complex negotiation (work, personal, or historical) To apply negotiation course concepts in your analysis. These objectives, while straightforward, are critical to your learning. Application knowledge is the key. If you can apply what you have learned in the course to the project, you will also be able to apply what you have learned in other environments after the course has ended. Proposal Topic Ideas The proposal (one page is due during Week 3) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations include a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred); a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition; a complex real estate purchase; a union-management contract (including professional sports leagues); a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government; a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services. The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can perform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course. Guidelines Paper must be 10 pages minimum in length, not including the title, abstract, or reference pages. Paper must apply APA formatting. Paper may apply up to but no more than three pages in describing the negotiation. Negotiation should be complex enough to challenge students' analytic skills. Paper Topic Proposal (for faculty review and approval) is due in Week 3 (approximate length is one page). Paper is due in Week 7. Grading Rubrics CategoryPoints%DescriptionOrganization and Cohesiveness7035% Central theme or purpose is clearly identifiable and well developed; introductory comments provide sufficient background on the topic and preview major points.

The discussion of the problem should include: what the problem is, why it is a problem, how the problem evolved or developed, and the issues and events leading to the problem. Goal Next, include a concise definition of the goal of the work (i.e., what the work will accomplish). Aim to define a goal that is measurable. Research Questions Research questions are developed to help guide the authors through the literature for a given problem area. What were the open-ended questions asked and why did the student find (or not find) them adequate. Relevance and Significance The student should consider the following questions as they read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of their research literature: Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected? How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem? What has been tried without success to correct the situation? Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the consequences of not solving the problem? How does the goal of the study address the research problem and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to the problem? How will the research add to the knowledge base? What is the potential for generalization of the results? What is the potential for original work? Barriers and Issues In these paragraphs, identify how the problem is inherently difficult to solve. How did the solution the author(s) propose address the difficulties? Chapter 2 Literature Review In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas on which the student will need to focus the student research in order to build a solid foundation for the study in the existing body of knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of quality literature in a particular field that serves as the foundation and justification for the research problem, research questions or hypothesis, and methodology. The student will develop a more comprehensive review of the literature as part of the research. Chapter 3 Approach/Methodology This chapter includes a summary of how the student is going to proceed with the evaluation of the problem statement and associated research question(s). Given the short time of this course, a compare / contrast or advantage / disadvantage analysis is recommended Chapter 4 Findings, Analysis, ...

Deductive vs Inductive Reasoning Deductive reasoning starts out with a general statement, or hypothesis, and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. The scientific method uses deduction to test hypotheses and theories. With deductive reasoning, we start with facts and then derive other facts from them. Mathematically we can represent the following: A=B and B=C, therefore we can deductively say A=C. Deductive reasoning arrives at a specific conclusion based on generalizations. In deductive reasoning, if something is true of a class of things, in general, it is also true for all members of that class. i.e. "All men are mortal". "Tom is a man". Therefore Tom is mortal. Inductive reasoning begins by looking for a trend or logically sequenced events that can be used to create a generalized conclusive statement. Inductive reasoning uses specific observations to make broad statements. Inductive reasoning is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion. When we use inductive reasoning, we are not sure of the conclusion. i.e. “Tom is a father. Tom is bald. Therefore, all fathers are bald." Derived from the pages of: http://www.livescience.com/21569-deduction-vs-induction.html http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/inductive-reasoning Summary: TOPIC: Write an original research report consisting of one of the following topic areas: 1) Virtual Organizations, 2) Network Organizations, 3) Spin-out Organizations, 4) Ambidextrous Organizations, 5) Front-Back Organizations, 6) Sense and Response Organizations. 1.

Review the Huston (2010) article listed under reading assignments. Which skills described for the Nurse Leader in the year 2020 are important now? Explain your rationale and provide an example from your practice setting (or from your prelicensure program) to support it. This is the article: eynote speaker at the conference, American nursing professor and former president of the international honour society of nursing, Sigma Theta Tau, Carol Huston, painted a picture of a brave new nursing world in 2020, in her opening presentation, Preparing nurse leaders for 2020. She outlined eight leadership competencies every nurse leader would need in the 2020. The first was a global perspective. “Every health care issue has to be looked at from a global perspective. We used to think pandemics were confined to developing countries. We now know they are just one short flight away.” There was a more urgent need for international standards for basic nursing education. The nursing shortage was one of the most serious threats to global health, she said, and it would get significantly worse before it got better. Nurse migration was a global problem. (See news p7.) The second leadership competency was better use of technology to connect people. Technology had driven so many changes already in health care but knowledge and information acquisition and distribution was going to multiply exponentially. “Forty percent of what we know today will be obsolete in three years,” Huston said. She listed a range of technological developments that would have a major impact on health care in the next 20 years. By 2030 diagnostic body scans, which could identify underlying pathology, would become part of showering. Improvements in body scanning technology would mean there would be no need for invasive surgery or tests. “Nano bots” circulating in the blood stream would identify disease processes and begin to repair them. Gene therapy would mean what was now untreatable would be treatable and could see cancer abolished completely within two decades. Stem cell therapy would eliminate the need for organ transplants “as we will grow new organs. It is predicted we will be able to grow heart, kidneys and livers by 2020. There are already clinical trials underway growing new teeth – instead of dentures you would grow you own new teeth.” Merging of the human and the machine would advance significantly and by 2020 there would be pancreatic pacemakers for diabetics and the technology to enable blind people to see and deaf people to hear. Robotics would continue to develop, with physical service robots which could wash patients and help feed and carry patients. There was the potential for the use of robots in therapeutic roles. Paro, a robotic seal developed in Japan, responded to patting by closing its .
