Kristine Joyce Reyes-Politico

Entrepreneurial Strategy and Competitive Dynamics After reading this chapter, you should have a good understanding of the following learning objectives: LO8.1 The role of opportunities, resources, and entrepreneurs in successfully pursuing new ventures. LO8.2 Three types of entry strategies—pioneering, imitative, and adaptive—commonly used to launch a new venture. LO8.3 How the generic strategies of overall cost leadership, differentiation, and focus are used by new ventures and small businesses. LO8.4 How competitive actions, such as the entry of new competitors into a marketplace, may launch a cycle of actions and reactions among close competitors. LO8.5 The components of competitive dynamics analysis—new competitive action, threat analysis, motivation and capability to respond, types of competitive actions, and likelihood of competitive reaction. Learning from Mistakes Digg was an early social network pioneer. In 2004, its founder, Kevin Rose, had an innovative idea. Rather than allow major news services to decide what the big news stories of the day were, Rose figured that people could make that choice. He founded Digg, a news-sharing site, to give them that choice.1 Users would post news articles they found interesting. Other users would then vote the story up or down and also post comments about the article. Articles that were voted up moved up in prominence on the site. Those voted down sank and eventually disappeared. The business took off and served as a front page article on BusinessWeek in 2006. Notable venture capitalists like Marc Andreessen, Ron Conway, and Greylock Partners invested $45 million in Digg. It was rumored that Google was interested in buying Digg in 2008 for a reported $200 million. But the deal never happened, and Digg quickly fell from favor. It struggled due to two major issues—new competition and poor operational decisions. As we’ll discuss later in this chapter, innovative business ideas are typically quickly imitated. Digg faced two forms of imitation. First, Reddit and other sites came online to challenge Digg by implementing similar business models. Second, other social network sites, 247 such as Facebook and Twitter, ate away at Digg’s business by letting users share news articles they found interesting with their friends and followers. This seemed much more personalized to many, since they would be more interested in what their friends recommended than how the general population voted on Digg. Digg also suffered by not building the resource set needed to serve their users effectively. They struggled to handle the volume of traffic on their site, leaving users frustrated when the site kept going down. When they finally went to a wholesale upgrade of their systems in 2010, there were a number of technical glitches that drove users away. They also didn’t make the site as easy to use as they should have or as easy as their competitors’ sites. As Rose himself noted, “It took eight steps to post a li ...

Required elements Description of the disorder Priority Nursing Diagnosis and why Nursing Assessment / Clinical Manifestations Nursing Plan/ Goals/ Outcomes Nursing Interventions Nursing Evaluations Patient and Family teaching Conclusion/ Summary Cites four (4) APA format references (at least 5 years old) TOTAL Scene 1 A is on his phone, looking at Twitter and Instagram B is A’s friend and recently doing social media addiction research. B comes inside this room B: Hey A, how’s your day! A: Great, Look I just found another interesting app called Instagram! B: Not again! You’re always on your phone! A: I just downloaded it 3 days ago, it’s fun, you should try it. B: Did you know (switch to data information) that 60% of adolescent’s sleeping patterns are affected by the use of their phones an hour before bed. This can lead to sleep deprivation. The use of social media keeps our brain highly active and therefore it takes longer to get into a deep sleep, which means we don’t get enough sleep for our brains to properly function. Sleep deprivation is one of the key factors to developing depression and can lead to an overall in the quality of an someone’s life. A: So, if I stop playing on my phone before I sleep then I will be fine? Are there any other negative effects of using social media? (switch to data information) B: There are so many more negative effects that social media has on us. Adults spend around 32% of their total work time on social media, and this causes a major reduction in the overall productivity, studies show that it reduces by 13%. A decline in productivity rates can directly affect the profitability of an organisation. Heavy use of social media can also have a negative impact on an individual’s mental health. Heavy users of social media have a 13%-66% higher chance of developing depression. This is a due to low self-esteem and isolation from heavy use of social media, as you are constantly looking and comparing your life to everyone else’s. It also leads to less physical activity and less opportunity to develop real authentic relationships. Do you find that you prefer to communicate with people over social media instead of face to face? A: Yes I do! B: The other one of the major risks of using social media is exposure to online abuse from “bullies” or “trolls”. Around one in 13 people in Australian have experienced some kind of online abuse, such as threats of death, rape, sexual assault, and stalking. Race-based abusive language is also common. A portion of these people who were exposed to online abuse had to seek help from a doctor or psychologist which negatively impacts work productivity. As a result, the loss of productivity has estimated to cost the Aust.

Reflection Assignment This week there will be no formal discussion for our class. However, there is a reading assignment. Based on the reading assignment there is a reflection requirement. This is basically a written paragraph of about five to six sentences about what you have read. Your reflection should be posted on the discussion board (remember it is just a paragraph of five to six sentences) regarding your readings for this week. No discussions are required this week. Reading Assignment Our reading assignment for our class this week will involve: Chapter 16 – Internet, Secondary Analysis and Historical Research Chapter 17 - Intervention Your class participation is the basis for grading of this requirement. Please note that I am actively going through everyone’s phrase three written assignments. Thank you for your continued diligence in our course. Under chapter 16 this week, we will explore topics such as incorporating the internet for your research, revisiting participant testing as well as interviewing. Ethical concerns, historical research, and its appraisal. In review of chapter 17, intervention in research will be explained. As per our text, not all research involves an intervention. Frequently, interventions are seen within improvement projects frequently completed in DNP programs. At this phase of research, the principle investigator interacts with their research team. Documentation stems from the methodology section. Investigating the internet in research, please know and understand the following. Internet-based research method refers to any research method that uses the Internet to collect data. Most commonly, the Web has been used as the means for conducting the study, but e-mail has been used as well. The use of e-mail to collect data dates back to the 1980s while the first uses of the Web to collect data started in the mid-1990s. Whereas e-mail is principally limited to survey and questionnaire methodology, the Web, with its ability to use media, has the ability to execute full experiments and implement a wide variety of research methods. The use of the Internet offers new opportunities for access to participants allowing for larger and more diverse samples. Reference Salkind, N. J. (2010). Encyclopedia of research design (Vols. 1-0). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. doi: 10.4135/9781412961288 Secondary analysis is the re-analysis of either qualitative or quantitative data already collected in a previous study, by a different researcher normally wishing to address a new research question.

Reflection assignments 1. Action-observation-reflection model: Leadership development is enhanced when people do something (act), note what happened (observe), and think about what occurred (reflect). 2. Leadership and Maxims: You will write down the leadership maxims (three to five that are of most interest to you) of a personal or famous leader. In what situations do they work or not work, how would you go about testing the maxims. 3. Upon completing your personality profile, describe the results of each section or facet of the profile, discuss if you believe the profile fits your self-perception or image and share the profile with a good friend or family member and record their reactions concerning how well they believe the profile fits you. 4. Chapter 8 discussed several skills identified important to good leaders. These skills were: (a) Building Credibility, (b) Communication, (c) Listening, (d) Assertiveness, (e) Conducting Meetings, (f) Effective Stress Management, (g) Problem solving, and (h) Improving creativity. Although you might not engage in all of these activities at work or in school, choose four of the eight skills that you believe are most important, and discuss how you personally improve these skills for effective leadership development. 5. Stages: There are four well-known stages all groups move through prior to becoming cohesive, they are: (a) Forming, (b) Storming, (c) Norming, and (d) Performing first developed by Bruce Tuckman in 1965. Later, adjouring was added to the original four to make: (a) Forming, (b) Storming, (c) Norming, (d) Performing, and (e) Adjourning. Describe a recent school, work or family group you were a part of; did you notice these various stages? Now you are aware of these stages, do you believe any of these stages can be skipped and is there a “price” in skipping any of these stages? 6. In Chapter 13, p. 522, Highlight 13.6, Edgar Schein is introduced as a significant figure in the theory of organizational development, career development, group process consultation, and organizational culture. Briefly provide a historical background on Schein’s theory’s and describe an organization you were or are a part of in terms of these 4 factors: myths/symbols/ritual/language. How do you think those factors affect leadership in that organization? 7. Level 5 Leadership: In chapter 15, pp. 614-615, Highlight 15.9 discussed the concept of Good to Great. Within the confines of leadership and change discussed throughout much of the chapter, answer the first question focused on Level 5 leadership. The chapter spent a good deal of time discussing three types of leadership personalities: (a) Charismatic leadership, (b) Transformational leadership, and (c) Transactional leadership, how would each of these personalities fit into the Level 5 leadership model? 8.

Reflection assignments are essays, based on the assigned chapters noted in the syllabus. Type your reflection using correct grammar, spelling, writing mechanics and articulation. Each reflection assignment should be a minimum of 2 pages (it can be longer), double-spaced with one inch margins and size 12 font. Upload your reflection into D2L. Follow these directions: Identify one passage from the assigned book (introduction through chapter 4), The Collapse of American Criminal Justice, that you find interesting, thought-provoking, controversial or one with which you agree or disagree. Begin your reflection assignment by reprinting the quoted passage and also provide the page #. Then reflect on the passage, explaining why you chose it, what you think about it, why it is or is not important, and/or how the passage relates to other theories, ideas, concepts, history, or findings from the lectures, reading and/or from other credible sources. In addition to the book, cite other sources as you analyze each passage in order to support your opinions, reasoning and observations. Use APA Edition 6 for all sources. A rubric will be used to grade your reflections; if instructor feedback seems auto-generated, that’s because it is. The best two or three reflection assignments will be posted so that great work can be recognized and other students have examples on how to improve. To be considered for this honor, permission must be granted in the form of a quiz to be completed in the week 1 module. EXAMPLE “Violence was not controlled chiefly through criminal punishment… it was controlled through local democracy in the network of relationships that supported it… criminal punishment was embedded in that network of relationships. Police officer sometimes lived in the neighborhood they patrolled, and had political ties to those neighborhoods through the ward bosses who represented their cities’ political machines. Those patrols happened on foot: officers, those whom they targeted, and those whom they served knew one another. Cops, crime victims, criminals, and the jurors who judged them-these were not wholly district communities; they overlapped, and the overlaps could be large.” (Stuntz, 2011, p. 31). I specifically chose this passage for two reasons. First, it addresses current issues that are relevant today; racial profiling, stereotyping, and the large incarcerated population of minorities. Second, it presents an upstream solution, which I will define and discuss further along in the reflection, to the large incarcerated population of minority that I personally quite agree with. “Crime victims in black neighborhoods have difficulty convincing local police to take their victimization seriously… Cab drivers are slow to pick up” African Americans, and “pedestrians… hold their possession more tightly when they approach young black males” (Stuntz, 2011, p.22). All these scenarios demonstrate what is formally known as stereotyping. It’s wrong, but.

Reflection as an Educational Strategy in Nursing Professional Development An Integrative Review Robbin Miraglia, MSN, RN ƒ Marilyn E. Asselin, PhD, RN-BC Reflection is a critical component of professional nursing practice and a strategy for learning through practice. This integrative review synthesizes the literature addressing the use of reflection as an educational strategy and reports outcomes from the use of reflective strategies. Reflection education is primarily nested in programs to meet specific clinical goals, structured with group facilitation. Findings suggest that reflective strategies stimulate learning in practice, enhance readiness to apply new knowledge, and promote practice change. INTRODUCTION In recent years, reflection has gained increased recognition as a critical component of professional nursing practice and as an educational strategy to acquire knowledge and learn through practice (Asselin & Fain, 2013; Kim, 1999; Perry, 2000). Although there is no agreed upon definition, reflection is generally understood as the deliberate process of critically thinking about a clinical experience, which leads to development of insights for potential practice change (Asselin & Fain, 2013). Scholars contend that reflection offers nurses the opportunity to build on existing knowledge through clinical experiences (Johns, 1995; Kuiper & Pesut, 2004; Perry, 2000), develop clinical judgment (Nielsen, Stragnell, & Jester, 2007; Tanner, 2006), promote strong communication skills, build collaborative practice, and improve patient care (Horton-Deutsch, 2012; Peden-McAlpine, Tomlinson, Forneris, Genck, & Meiers, 2005). Although it is generally assumed that nurses know how to reflect, findings from recent studies suggest that nurses’ reflective thinking may be prolonged by pauses and they may need assistance in systematically moving insights to practice change (Asselin & Fain, 2013; Asselin, Schwartz- Barcott, & Osterman, 2013). Consequently, continuing education on reflection and reflective practice is viewed as a vehicle to enhance professional practice, promote evidence- based practice, and potentially improve patient outcomes. As an educational strategy, reflection allows nurses to explore clinical experiences and the thoughts and feelings associated with the experience, allowing for a change in beliefs and assumptions, emergence of new knowledge, and a transformation of clinical practice (Asselin & Fain, 2013; Dube & Ducharme, 2014; Horton-Deutsch, 2012; Johns, 1995; Perry, 2000). Although numerous articles have been published exploring the concept of reflection and the use of reflection as an educational strategy, there has been no attempt to synthesize existing literature presenting the use of reflection as an educational strategy in nursing professional development (NPD). This article provides an integrative review of the literature addressing the use of reflection as an educational strategy for nurses. The rev.

Reflection and Discussion Forum Week 3 1.What is the chief purpose of configuration management? In your opinion, why has it become increasingly popular in recent years as a part of the project management process? 2.Sustainable project development has many features and can mean many things when beginning a project. If you were to identify three critical messages that explain what sustainable project management really means, what would they be? 3.Identify the five major methods for resolving conflict. Give an example of how each might be applied in a hypothetical project team conflict episode. [Your initial post should be at least 450+ words and in APA format (including Times New Roman with font size 12 and double spaced). Post the actual body of your paper in the discussion thread then attach a Word version of the paper for APA review] Activity 3 Case Study 5.2: California’s High-Speed Rail Project A goal of the Obama administration has been to promote high-speed rail across the most populous and geographically-dispersed states in the United States. The idea is to adopt more energy-saving initiatives while also helping to improve state’s infrastructure. It is with this in mind that the Federal Government made billions available to various states in the 2008–2010 budget cycles. After the Fall, 2010 elections, several states that had elected Republican governors refused the grants, suspicious that this seed money would not be sufficient to pay for what they viewed as unnecessary construction based on over-optimistic expectations of the need for and use of high-speed rail. One of the states that accepted the money and has moved forward strongly into high-speed rail has been California, which has already begun work on a 65-mile section in the middle of the state, earning the derisive nickname, the “train to nowhere.” This case details the state’s projections regarding the need for high-speed rail, against the views of infrastructure experts and critics who charge that for a state that is already in a severe budget crisis, this is just the sort of project that makes no sense economically or demographically. Questions Assess the benefits and drawbacks of the high-speed rail project. In your opinion, do benefits outweigh drawbacks, or vice versa? Why? Justify your answer. What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now? Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative? In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project? Why are they important? Case Study 6.1: Columbus Instruments This case is based on a true story of a once-successful organization that had allowed its project management practices to degenerate to the point where assignment to a project team was often a mark of disfavor and a sign of pending termination. The case.

Reflection 1: In no more than 3 and no less than 2 full double spaced page(s) of text, APA format respond to the following about the information you have already covered (Ch. 7) about oppression and microaggressions. Also read "Confronting a Bias" that is attached to this assignment. (Don't forget to cite and source!) 1. How do you see yourself in relation to the information presented in your textbook about racism and prejudice? (remember that we all have some prejudices and that the purpose here is to help you explore within yourself so you can increase your own self-awareness) 2. What did you read in the microaggressions chart in Ch. 6 that resonated within you? This is likely to be among the things you read that you had the strongest reactions to. Be SPECIFIC in your responses. Describing generally what you didn't like or don't ascribe to is too general. 3. What are your thoughts and reactions to the reading "Confronting a Bias?" Use the information about oppression and microaggressions thatyou have read, and analyze the situation described in the reading. Confronting a Bias: Personal Example of Communicating an Observed Bias Initially upon reading the text about racism and prejudice, I was able to identify times when I was on the receiving end. A recent encounter at the Michael Kors store came to mind as it resonated within me for some time. Just for background purposes, when you enter the Michael Kors store you are greeted by the salesperson and they will let you know of any specials they have. On this particular day I entered right behind a daughter, her mother, and grandchild in a stroller, which were white. As soon as they got in the middle store area the sales person greeted them and told them about the sale they were having. I was within a couple feet of them and received no greeting or sales pitch. Often I believe that in order to be sure it is not just me that I need to observe. In my observation, there was an Asian female that entered the store and she also did not receive a greeting or sales pitch. At this point, I am feeling offended an aggravated and felt that this behavior needed to be pointed out. So I politely explained to the manager that because of my current class at school I am being more observant with regards to interactions and treatment. Furthermore, “I observed the discriminative behaviors of your worker and it should be addressed.” Initially the manager was contributing the busyness of the store to the worker being distracted. However I was able to show the manager that as another white female walked in the worker was always readily available but I still had not received a greeting. At this point, I was thinking of the Pretty Woman scene when she was able to come back and let the sales person know that their prejudgment of her had cost them big on commission and sales. Unfortunately, I was unable to spend big and the commission would not have resulted too much. I definite.
