Home Value Stores operates 264 warehouse stores across the US, Europe, and Asia. In the past year, sales and net earnings increased by approximately 10.8% and 6.4% respectively. However, the company only opened two new stores in 2020-2021 and closed one store due to poor performance. Two members of the compensation committee were pleased with the financial results and proposed a bonus for the CEO, but the third member, Tanya Barrett, believes accounting profit is a poor measure of future performance and the company should focus on creating long-term shareholder value. Tanya has asked for an evaluation of financial performance taking into account investment levels and cost of capital to determine if superior performance has actually been achieved. The new CEO is also
Throughout the years, there has been a shift from manual labour jobs to office-based work. In fact, in 1981, one out of three men and one out of five women had a manufacturing job whilst, in 2001, this has decreased to one out of five and one out of ten respectively. In addition to this decrease, there was an increase of workers in the service industry which changed the employees’ expectations of their working environment (Building a case for wellness, 2008). Today, employees require more personal services beside health and safety benefits as they are less likely to be injured at work. They are hoping for more flexibility such as the ability to work at home and the flexibility to customize their schedule. When it comes to improving employee engagement and wellbeing, this evolution creates a transformation from a classical managing approach to a more human relations managing approach.

Research paper on Employee turnover in organizationsSummaya Sharif
Abstract
The research paper is intended to answer some of the most FAQs of the organizations about employee turnover and help them in lessening this threat which results in losing the loyal and hardworking workforce.
The FAQs include;
-What is employee turnover?
-What are the factors causing employee turnover?
-How to identify/elucidate these factors?
-How is employee turnover a function of these factors?
-What is the relationship between employee turnover and each of selected factors?
-To what extent each of these factors is related to employee turnover?
Which of these factors is the main cause of employee turnover?
In order to get the pragmatic answers to the questions above, and prove the inferences/Hypothesis on the relationship of these factors with employee turnover; the research has been carried to a pragmatic and scientific level. The results of the research carried out will help the organizations to answer the questions above with relevance, reliability, authenticity, relationship metrics, all checked. The scientific study carried out is elucidated below;
Purpose: This research article investigates the factors that influence the employee turnover in order to elucidate the role that they play to influence employee turnover and ergo, their relationship with employee turnover. Hence the purpose is both causal as well as descriptive.
Problem Statement: The research has been conducted to help organizations lessen employee turnover. The basic problem statement is to study the effect of chosen factors (Age, wage rate, unskilled labor, and work-life balance) on employee turnover and hence their relationship with it.
Ergo the basic Research Questions include:
-To what extent unskilled labor leads to employee turnover?
-Does work-life balance affect the employee turnover?
-What contributions wage rate has towards employee turnover?
How much influence age has on employee turnover?
Research method: Considering the Krejice and Morgan’s (1970) table to ensure a good decision, a sample of 100 employees, regardless of gender, area, and status, is taken so that the studied sample size is representative of the population. With groups as my unit of analysis mono-method and deductive approach is used in this research and the data collection technique is disproportionate stratified random sampling.
Findings: The findings apparently showed that the main factor that is influencing employee turnover is “job that hurdles the fulfillment of fulfillment of family duties; with a coefficient of 0.800.”Ergo if this factor is kept under control then a significant change can be seen in employee turnover.
Recommendations are also elucidated in the paper.
ROEI®: Return On Employee Investment® Increase Competitiveness Through Your ...Sage
Why are some companies thriving while others are struggling to stay in business? What is the distinctive difference between a good company and a truly great company? The answers to these questions can only be found when looking at what defines the company: its people. The people who make up a company are that organization’s unique and biggest asset. For most businesses, the workforce is also its largest expense, or better put, its largest investment.
At Sage, we believe that employees are the most important component in the quest to improve business results. It makes sense to treat employee-related expenses as an investment in the workforce. Like any other investment, this critical company investment must yield a healthy return. We call that the Return on Employee Investment® or ROEI®.
This white paper looks into investments that can help a company maximize the value of its workforce, and shows how technology can help improve ROEI and build a more profitable and successful business.
The number of choices for benchmarking pay data and pricing jobs is growing fast. Compensation professionals are faced with a dizzying array of benchmarking surveys, online databases, economists’ services, government statistics, and proprietary reports from recruiters, staffing companies, consultants, and even the media. There are a number of exciting possibilities for using more powerful market intelligence, but the choices are confusing and it is challenging to determine what source to trust.
Join us as Greenwich.HR CEO Cary Sparrow shares how to take advantage of new data capabilities so your compensation team can create even more strategic value. Cary will discuss how compensation professionals are evolving to become the experts of talent economics and share practical examples of how you can adjust your compensation practices to reduce the time you spend on administration.
In this webinar you will learn:
• Current trends in pay & benchmarking data
• Pros and cons of various types of data services
• How to use your data to build a competitive benchmarking model
• How to use big data to save time on your salary & comp planning process

THE ENVIRONMENT/INDUSTRY
1. Drivers of change
Key drivers of change begin with the availability of substitute products. Many
other
companies can easily provide a substitute and the firm will have to find a way to
stand
out among them. Next would be the ability to differentiate yourself among other
firms
that pose a threat in the industry. Last, the political sector. The the federal, state,
and local governments could all shape the way healthcare is everywhere.
2. Key survival factors
Key survival factors would include making the firm stand out above the rest in the
industry and creating a name for itself. Second would be making sure there is a
broad
network of providers available for the customers. Giving the customer options
will
make the customer happy. Providing excellent customer service is key to any
firm in
the industry.
3. Product/Market and Value Proposition possibilities
Maintaining the use of heavy discounts will keep Careington in the competitive
market. They also concentrate on constantly innovating technology to make
sure that
they have the latest devices to offer their customers. To have high value proposition, Careington
will need to show their costumers that they can believe in them and trust them to
do the right thing. Showing the customers that they can always be on top of the
latest
technology and new age products will help build trust with the customers.

Over the next two decades, we expect that the health care sector will look a lot different than it does now. While many CEOs know they need to adapt, it’s a lot harder than it looks. Deloitte’s 2019 Health Care CEO Perspectives Study looks at what lies ahead.
Major transformation cannot happen overnight and will require visionary leadership, innovative ideas, courage in the face of uncertainty, and persistence. The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions and the Monitor Deloitte Health Care Strategy practice interviewed 25 health system and six health plan CEOs to create the Deloitte 2019 Health Care CEO Perspectives Study that articulates how CEOs are thinking about their changing responsibilities and role in effecting change. Each of the interviewed CEOs leads a large health care organization, with most earning an annual revenue of US$1 billion or more.

Many of my friends from industry have asked for my opinion on the economic crisis and its impact on business. My answer to them is that the real problem is that companies simply do not internalise the proper actions to take in order to respond to such a situation.
And rarely is it more critical than in retail business strategy, and the far-reaching implications surrounding the phenomena often known as ‘wallet share’ or ‘share of wallet’.
‘Share of wallet’ is in essence an holistic term capturing the aspect of a retailer’s desire to understand and manage consumer spending, how much they have, and how frequent and recent this occurs. This clearly introduces the aspects of service, proposition, customer loyalty, and internal & external change as strategy components for serious consideration by the senior management team.
This paper seeks to explore these aspects of a Retail business strategy, giving insight and advice for a stronger business strategy in ‘Changing Times’.

Create a 4-6 page report that analyzes financial ratios for a company, uses the data to tell the financial story of that company, and concludes with a recommendation on whether the company would be a viable partner based on its financial condition.
Introduction
It’s essential for senior management to know the financial condition of an organization in order to make strategic decisions. In this assessment, you will apply the financial management skills learned thus far.
· Tell the financial story based on financial statements.
· Conduct a financial analysis and identify focus areas for enhancing shareholder value.
· Interpret ratio computations that are meaningful and inform business decisions and strategies.
· Make three recommendations that maximize shareholder value.
Scenario
Maria Gomez is founder and president of ABC Healthcare Corporation, a company that owns hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, urgent care centers, and outpatient clinics. She has called on you to review various financial documents and to make recommendations to maximize shareholder value.
Your Role
You are one of Maria's high-performing financial analyst managers at ABC Healthcare Corporation and she trusts your work and leadership.
Requirements
Here is what your report should provide for Maria:
· A summary of the financial strength of the company through your analysis of the price/earnings and price/book ratios.
The CFO for ABC Healthcare Corporation assessed the market value by reviewing its price/earnings ratios. The price/earnings ratio determines the market value of a stock as compared to the company's earnings. The price/earnings ratios are listed in the chart below. To calculate the price/earnings ratio, the CFO took the earnings per share and divided that into the market value. As an example, this means that in 2019 investors were willing to pay $12.10 for $1 of earnings.

To further assess market value, the CFO looked at book value per share. The book value per share ratio is the per share value of a company in terms of the equity available to stockholders. The book values per share over the past three years are listed in the chart below:

The price-to-book ratio (P/B ratio) compares a firm's market capitalization to its book value. It's calculated by dividing the company's stock price per share by book value per share. Here, for fiscal year 2019, the book value per share ratio was 0.42. This explains that investors were willing to pay $0.42 for $1 of book value equity. Price to book value is an important measure to see how much equity shareholders are paying for the net assets value of the company. P/B ratios under 1 are typically considered solid investments.

Use Access to create a database in which you can store and retrieve information about the Rio Salado Theme Park operating departments, their managers, and their employees.
Create a
new blank database
.
Save the database with the filename
RSC_Theme_Park_Database_MEID.accdb
. Replace “MEID” with your actual MEID.
Structure of the Database
NOTE:
Read the requirements for the database and be sure you understand how it should work before creating your design.
You will need to complete the following:
Create two tables.
Establish table relationships.
Create one form.
Create two queries.
Create one report.
As you work on the project, remember to follow best practices for creating databases as described in your TestOut materials and the online lesson content.
Create the Tables
Tables and their relationships form the backbone of a relational database. In this database, you will create a table for the Rio Salado Theme Park operating departments and their managers, and a table for employees in each department. When creating fields for your tables, it is important to break down your data into the smallest chunks you can (fine granularity) to make it easier to extract data from the database later. Remember to assign the most appropriate data type to each of the fields and that one of the fields in each of your tables must be set as the
Primary Key
using the
AutoNumber
data type. You do not need to enter data records into your tables at this time; you will create a form later in this project for data entry.
Department Table
Create a
table
named
Department Table
. At a minimum, your table should include the following fields:
Department ID
Department Name
Manager First Name
Manager Last Name
Manager Email Address
Manager Phone Number
Employee Table
Create a
table
named
Employee Table
. At a minimum, your table should include the following fields:
Employee ID
Department ID
Employee First Name
Employee Last Name
Employee Date of Hire
Employee Rate of Pay
Establish Table Relationships
Once the design of the tables has been completed, the next step is to
establish relationships
between the tables. You will join the Department Table with the Employee Table on common fields through the following tasks:
Join the
primary key
of the Department Table with the
foreign key
of the Employee Table in a
One-To-Many
relationship.
Enforce referential integrity.
Cascade update related fields.
Cascade delete related records.
Create a Form
Once the tables have been designed and the relationships have been established, it is time to enter data. You will use
one form
to enter and edit data in the two tables:
Create
one form
named
Department Form
that can be used to enter data into both tables.
Insert a row
below the Employee Table subform. Add a
button
in the new row to perform the

Create a
new blank Access database
.
Save the file as
BoatDatabase_MEID.accdb
. Be sure to replace “MEID” in the filename with your actual MEID.
Structure of the Database
Read the requirements for the database below and understand how the database should work before you create the design. Remember to follow the best practices presented in TestOut and the online lesson content for creating professional Access databases.
Create the Tables
You will create new tables that contain information about the Rio Salado Boat and Marine Dealership’s manufacturers and inventory. When creating fields for your tables, it is important to break down your data into the smallest chunks you can (
fine data granularity
) to make it easier to extract data from the database later. You will also need to join the tables on common fields later in the project. For this project, assume a manufacturer can supply the boat dealership with multiple types of boats for the dealership’s inventory.
NOTE:
Remember to assign the most appropriate data type to each of the fields and that one of the fields in each of your tables must be set as the
Primary Key
. You do not need to enter data records into your tables at this time; you will create a form later in this project for data entry.
Manufacturer Contact Table
Create a new
table
named
Manufacturer Contact Table
. At a minimum, your table should include the following fields:
Manufacturer ID
Manufacturer (e.g., Bayliner)
Manufacturer Address
Sales Representative Name
Phone Number
Email Address
Inventory Table
Create a new
table
named
Inventory Table
. At a minimum, your table should include the following fields:
Inventory ID
Manufacturer ID
Boat Type (e.g., Sailboat)
Model Number
Dealer Cost
MSRP (i.e., Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price)
Quantity in Inventory
Establish Table Relationships
Once the design of the tables has been completed, the next step is to
establish relationships
between the tables:
Join the Manufacturer Contact Table with the Inventory Table on common fields.
Enforce referential integrity.
Create a Form
Once the tables have been designed and the relationships have been established, it is time to enter data. Remember that
each field of each record will need to include data

one form
to enter and edit data in the two tables.
Create
one form
named
Manufacturer Form
that can be used to enter data into
both
tables.
Use the form to enter a
minimum of four manufacturers
. Include
your name
in one of the records as a Sales Representative for one of the manufacturers.
Use the form to enter
at least two different boat types

to Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies, the National Survey of Child and Adolescent
Weil-Being, to examine the association between maternal depression and parenting practices
over a 36-month follow-up period.Three hypotheses were tested: (1) Depressed mothers are'
more likely to demonstrate harsh parenting than are nondepressed mothers; (2) depressed
mothers are more likely to demonstrate neglectful parenting than are nondepressed mothers;
and (3) depressed mothers are more likely to demonstrate emotional maltreatment than are
nondepressed mothers. The interaction between depression and time was also analyzed for
each parenting practice to determine how changes in maternal depression affected changes in
parenting. The sample for this study was 1,536 mother-child dyads in which the child was age
three to 10 years and remained in the home after a CPS investigation. Depression remained
high across time points and was associated with increased risk of emotional maltreatment and
neglect over a 36-inonth period. In addition, self-reported emotional maltreatment remained
high across time points. Implications of this work are the needs for better identification of
mental health needs for mothers entering the child welfare system and parent training to
specifically address positive parenting.
KEY WORDS: child welfare; maternal depression; National Survey
of Child and Adolescent Well-Being; parenting
M
aternal depression, a critical public
health concern, is prevalent among
mothers referred to Child Protective
Services (CPS) agencies. In fact, nearly a quarter of
adults entering the child welfare system meet the
diagnostic criteria for a major depressive episode
in the preceding 12 months (U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, Administration on
Children.Youth and Families [HHS, ACYF], 2005),
compared with only 7% of adults in the general
population (Kessler, Chiu, Demier, & Walters, 2005).
Furthermore, w ômen have an increased likelihood
of experiencing depression compared with men
(Kessler et al., 2003), and women exposed to a
high number of chronic Stressors—as many women
referred to CPS agencies are—are three times more
likely than women with less exposure to Stressors to
experience maternal depression (Orr,James, Burns,
& Thompson, 1989). Given that women comprise
the vast majority of primary caregivers among the
child welfare population (HHS, ACYF, 2005), it is
important to understand how maternal depression
affects outcomes after a CPS referral.
The high rate of maternal depression in the child
welfare system is a concern given its influence on
parenting practices. Symptoms of depression may
impede a woman's capacity to provide care for her
children, placing her at risk to engage in neglectful
parentin.

Put it all Together w/ Source Support Highlighted:
(P) A key issue challenging the homeless community, and those working to help the homeless out of their situation, is the high rate of addiction to drugs and alcohol. (I) Substance abuse can cripple one’s ability to maintain a common standard of living. Those suffering in the throes of addiction will struggle to hold a job and often lose connection to the support of their loved ones. This disconnect from a steady income, family, and friends, plus the cost of their addiction, may lead to a life on the streets. Once there, the addiction can further manifest and take hold continuing a dangerous spiral. (E) Robert Hartmann McNamara authored a report on “Homelessness”, which presented that drug use amongst the homeless is prevalent. Research from the 80’s routinely presented a clear connection between homelessness and addiction (1027). This connection can be powerful and extremely challenging to break. (S) Even if addiction did not cause the homeless state, living without shelter, physical and emotional, creates an opportunity for substances to replace security and love. When trying to rise out of a homelessness, the need to kick the addiction becomes paramount to become self-reliant again. The clear relationship between homelessness and substance abuse creates a challenging set of circumstances for both the individual and those attempting to intervene and help.

paper should be between 750 – 1500 words. APA formatting is required
find two advertisements from any source (newspaper, magazine, tv, etc). One will be an example of the ways that the advertisement perpetuates ideas about race and/or ethnicity in a negative, prejudicial, or stereotypical way. The other should be an advertisement that challenges those prejudicial and stereotypical ways. Compare and contrast the advertisements. What ages, genders, races, etc are present in each advertisement (think back to the discussion of social statuses from chapter 5). What message do those statuses send? What key message is being sent by each advertisement? Summarize a thesis statement of 1-2 sentences that wraps up succinctly one message that can be gleaned from each of the advertisements about race and ethnicity. This will be presented as part of your main body, and the discussion should include discussion of many of these topics: socialization, race and ethnicity, prejudice, discrimination, us/them, and norms and/or values. You will need to bring in the social construction of reality, as well.
Then, find two more advertisements. One should include white models, and one should include individuals of color as the models. Challenge yourself to pick them at random without trying to find the “perfect” example, as we want to see what the average ad does. Explain how this example from the media adds to the social construction of our perceptions of race and ethnicity. Be sure to provide ample evidence of how this process occurs, and the role that the social institution of the media plays in the construction of race and ethnicity. Your discussion should include a clear explanation of what the social construction of our perceptions of race and ethnicity is, and how cultural transmission occurs through the media. This will be presented as part of your main body.
For your concluding paragraph, you will bring together a solid conclusion about race and ethnicity, giving a nice sociological analysis.

Paper must be double spaced, with 12 point font and include section headers for each of the paper sections noted below (Three Representational Roles and Role You Choose, Influence of Legislative Leaders, Rank and Explain Influences of Institutional Factors, and Explain Your Vote)
Objective: The objective for this assignment is for students to understand and critically analyze the multiple pressures on policy makers in Texas as they most listen to their leaders, the governor, the voters (social responsibility) and their own conscience (personal responsibility) in deciding how to cast their vote on a controversial issue.
Assignment: You have recently been elected as a Republican to the Texas Senate from a competitive district (even number of Democrats, Republicans and Independents) just outside of Dallas. One of the first bills that you must vote on is House Bill 3- a Bill to forbid the creation of sanctuary cities (protecting undocumented immigrants from deportation). Your constituents support the bill as does the Governor your party, but you oppose it on grounds that most undocumented Texans are hardworking people who want to become legal citizens. The Speaker of the House opposes the bill as well.
In explaining how you will vote on the bill, be sure to explain the following:
What Representational Role you will adopt (trustee, delegate or politico). (Unit 4 Written Lectures, Slide 4-25). Be sure to discuss all three representational roles.
How will the Speaker of the House, the Lt. Governor and Governor of Texas influence the fate of the bill? (Unit 4 Written Lectures, Slides 4-9, 4-10, 4-18 & 4-22 )
How do you think constituents might try to influence your vote? (Unit 4 Written Lectures, Slide 4-20)
Which factors noted above and in your notes (constituents, governor, party leaders and your own opinion) will influence your vote? Rank them in importance. (Unit 4, Written Lectures, Slide 4-20, 4-21)
Will you vote for or against the bill? Please explain your answer thoroughly. You should refer back to the representational role here. (Unit 4 Written Lectures, Slide 4-25)

PAPER EXPECTATIONSFollow the instructions.Make your ideas .docxhoney690131
PAPER EXPECTATIONS
Follow the instructions.
Make your ideas concise.
Use as few words as you can to make your statements. This will allow you more room to develop your great ideas!
Avoid repetition and redundancy
of both ideas and words. This is the issue that I usually subtract the most points for, so take care.
For example, when you edit your papers, make sure that you don’t say “Cool Herc is widely accepted as the originator of hip hop”, and then two sentences later, “As Cool Herc is the originator of hip hop…”. See how these two are the same idea? If the reader already has the information, repeating it just takes up space. Another thing to avoid is using the same word multiple times in quick succession. For example: “I found it exciting to listen to the this music. Eri B. has an exciting tone to his voice. When I hear how he flows when he strings words together, I feel excited.” See how ‘excitement’ occurs three times in three sentences? Here’s another more subtle example: “He used the turntable as a way to switch songs seamlessly, using the scratch method to cover up the different beats that were used in each song.” In this example, the word ‘use’ occurs three times in the same sentence! Because it’s a less emotional word, it might be harder to catch, but it’s just as problematic.
I like to see ‘I’ statements.
I find that turning the focus on yourself (especially when we are dealing with sensitive issues and incorporating personal experience, as I encourage) is a great way to avoid generalizing groups and ideas. If your statement is clearly from your perspective, then I as a reader can empathize with your position. If you use lots of ‘we as a generalized group of people act and feel this specific way’, it makes me wonder what research you’ve done, what data points you have, and how many people you have interviewed in order to have that knowledge.
Going off of the previous expectation:
BE SPECIFIC!
If you do make a generalized statement about a situation, back it up with details. Show the research. Reference or quote the authors who initially made the observations and put their work into context. If you tell me that Cool Herc is largely agreed to be the originator of hip hop, tell me why and give examples.
For example, something with detail and context would be: “Although Jamaican soundsystem culture is at the roots of hip hop, Cool Herc was the first to create tracks sourced from James Brown, using the funkier, harder beats that we’ve come to associate with hip hop today.” See how this gives specific details and context on either end of the statement that Cool Herc was the first person to make hip hop?
Make sure you include proper internal references, and construct your bibliography following MLA format
. In your paper, I like to see at least (Author, Date of Publication). For example: “Cool Herc is widely agreed to be the originator of hip hop(Babin 2020).” This tells me you got the information from the .

Engage with Individuals, Families, Groups, Organizations, and Communities Social workers understand that engagement is an ongoing component of the dynamic and interactive process of social work practice with, and on behalf of, diverse individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers value the importance of human relationships. Social workers understand theories of human behavior and the social environment, and critically evaluate and apply this knowledge to facilitate engagement with clients and constituencies, including individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers understand strategies to engage diverse clients and constituencies to advance practice effectiveness. Social workers understand how their personal experiences and affective reactions may impact their ability to effectively engage with diverse clients and constituencies. Social workers value principles of relationship-building and inter-professional collaboration to facilitate engagement with clients, constituencies, and other professionals as appropriate. Social workers: apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment, person-in-environment, and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks to engage with clients and constituencies; and use empathy, reflection, and interpersonal skills to effectively engage diverse clients and constituencies. VIGNETTE Billy Brown Case Billy Brown is an 11 years old, and referred to you because it has been determined that he has been abused by his mother. Billy’s teacher reported the situation to protective services when she saw unexplained bruises on Billy’s arms and the intake worker who responded, founded a case of abuse. You are employed by Child Protective Services and will manage the case, which has been transferred to you from the intake emergency worker. Lorene Brown is Billy’s Mother. She is 28 years old, unemployed, and did not complete her high school education. She receives welfare benefits and lives in a small apartment she shares with a man whom she calls her boyfriend. Lorene is divorced and Billy’s father has shown no interest in him since he was born. Lorene is uncertain if he is incarcerated or not, and doesn’t know his whereabouts. Lorene and her boyfriend often engage in sexual behavior in the presence of Billy, who pretends not to see it, as their apartment is a studio. Lorene knew her boyfriend for 2 weeks before he moved in.

following topics:
1.) In The Prince, Machiavelli writes: “And let no one resist my opinion on this
with that trite proverb, that whoever founds on the people founds on mud.”
According to Machiavelli, how should a prince “found on the people”? How does
his advice ultimately benefit the people?
2.) Take a look of the foundations of the social contract in both Hobbes and
Locke. How do their different assumptions about human nature and the state of
nature inform their theories? How does this result in their different conceptions
of civil society/government? Identify and analyze at least two different
assumptions and speak about the implications for their theories.

Guidelines for Papers
1. Your paper is supposed to be an interpretation of some aspect of the
work(s): in other words, an argument concerning some aspect of the work
based on analysis of relevant textual evidence. Your paper is not supposed
to be a summary of the work, a statement of your opinion about the work, or a
discussion of its historical significance or relevance. Frame your paper as an
investigation of why and how the author makes the argument he or she does
rather than simply saying what is said. Turn your topic into an argument.
2. Give a clear statement of your argument at the beginning of your paper.
3. Unify your paper with a single argument with a logical development from one step of
the argument to the next. Do not make your paper a collection of separate points or
examples.
4. Every time you state that the author states or argues something you should
have evidence to support your statement, either in the form of a quotation or a specific
textual reference. Only quote what you need for your purposes. Try to look at your
quotations as something more than mere evidence, and instead as material that you
can analyze (break down into its parts in order to interpret it) in order to make your
argument.
5. Use clear and simple language, but a formal style. Obscurity is not profundity. Make
sure that you know the meaning of the words you use. You are writing a formal paper,
not an email message. Avoid colloquial or chatty language. Do not use contractions:
not using them reminds you of the appropriate level of discourse for your paper.
Criteria for assessing your work:
1. Do you have a clear statement of your argument?
2. Do you provide relevant evidence?
3. Are your reasoning and writing clear and effective?
4. Do you demonstrate understanding of the work(s) you are analyzing?
5. To what degree do you address the most important questions and problems
posed by the work(s) you are interpreting?
Warning: If your paper is effectively a summary of the work rather than an interpretation
of it, then the best grade you can possibly receive .

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

company’s compensation committee. At a recent lunch meeting,
they discussed the company’s performance. (See the table on the
next page for a balance sheet and an income statement.) Both
were pleased with the increase in profit and decided to
recommend a contract extension and a substantial six-figure
bonus for the company’s CEO. They anticipated, however, that
the third member of the compensation committee, Tanya
Barrett, would object to the bonus. Tanya believes that
accounting profit is a poor measure of future firm performance.
In her opinion, the company should be focused on what it is
doing today to create future value for shareholders. She has also
pointed out that, although the company showed quarterly profit
increases, its stock price remained flat.
Required
1. To prepare for an upcoming board meeting, Tanya has asked
you to evaluate financial performance for 2020 and 2021, taking
into account both the level of investment and the cost of capital.
Specifically, she would like you to calculate the level of profit
(loss) that was earned in excess of the amount required given
the investment in the company. Assume that the cost of capital
is 15 percent. Is it clear that the company has had superior
financial performance?
2. In fiscal 2022, the CEO of Home Value Stores retired. His
successor is concerned that warehouse managers do not
understand how their actions are linked to the company’s
2. strategy and how they can affect future firm value. In his
opinion, while monthly earnings are important, managers are
focused almost exclusively on how their actions affect these
numbers. Suggest a performance measurement technique that
can be used to address the new CEO’s concerns.

Effective marketing tool for the marketing professionals in
healthcare
organization: The 4 ‘S’ model

University, Pune, India
ABSTRACT
Patients are becoming more demanding for the medical service
delivery as organizations are
continuously innovating new ways of service delivery.
Irrespective of the number of services
being provided, the demand for marketing support in the
healthcare organization is
growing. The number of hospitals with marketing department
has increased by 75% in 3
years’ time, which is partly due to increased competitive
pressure. With more investments in
the healthcare, there is comparatively more expectation from the
promoters in terms of
better returns of investment and that boils down to more
pressure on marketing activities of
the organization. In such situation marketing associates
including entry-level professionals
face a daunting task to justify the growth in market share and
securing higher budget for
6. the marketing activities. To make their function more effective,
a 4 ‘S’ model is devised
which captures the basic marketing information like Size,
Shape, Share and Soar, which every
marketer need to have before any marketing planning. Since the
information needed for
effective marketing plans for medical services is critical, the 4
‘S’ model brings a template-
based tool to facilitate better understanding of the market and
thus better strategy for the
organization.

Introduction
Marketing mix in hospitals and healthcare organiz-
ations predispose medical needs, gain market share
and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the
respective organization [1]. Adopting marketing prin-
ciples in hospitals and healthcare organizations is gain-
ing importance. The potential for developing new
services and community program, the need for reeval-
uating and redefining the target market of the organiz-
ation’s service offering and the need for more accurate
and comprehensive strategic planning are major con-
cerns and the driving forces for the effective marketing
7. program in the healthcare organizations [2]. Under-
standing and applying the marketing way of thinking
in order to raise the quality of performance of health-
care organizations is becoming a necessity, which dic-
tates behavior in a competitive environment [3].
Application of standard marketing principles poses
different set of challenges for the healthcare organiz-
ations. Due to wide variations in the request made by
heterogeneous patients for a particular service becomes
a serious challenge to present the benefit of the con-
cerned services and make them visible and tangible in
advance [4]. Public sector healthcare organizations,
which mostly operate as not-for-profit organizations
believe more in quality and timely delivery of services.
Thus,marketingofthese serviceswere notfelt important
and urgent. Off late, Academic Health Centers (AHCs)
are aggressively marketing themselves by designing
new services and promoting these services more inten-
sely [5]. Irrespective of the pre-requisite essentials in
the organizational level, the demand for marketing sup-
portinthehealthcareorganizationisgrowing.Thenum-
ber of hospitals with marketing department has
increased by 75% in 3 years’ time, which is partly due
to increased competitive pressure [2].
Target markets in hospital marketing include
patients and families, communities, doctors, medical
personnel, hospital staff and charitable donors [6].
While hospitals come out with a number of services,
it becomes difficult to position such services in the
huge market place. If marketing planning is not
designed in a well-thought manner, it may affect the
quality of medical services and lead to unnecessary
competition and may cause unnecessary prescription
of medical services [7]. While there are a number of
9. keters reported that generating traffic and leads is the
top most challenge faced by the marketers followed by
proving RoI of the marketing activities (43%) and secur-
ing enough budget (28%). Other issues highlighted in
the report are managing website, identifying right tech-
nologies, targeting content for an international audi-
ence, training the team and hiring the top talent.
When the marketing plans are executed without a
base understanding about customers, their needs,
place of service availability etc., marketing activities
would not be effective and gradually the organizations
have dilemma in increasing budget on marketing.
A practicing entry-level managers said that ‘Within
a month, he had wedged himself into the fledgling mar-
keting team’ [10] and often witnessed many definitions
of marketing starting from promotion of organization’s
product and services to process for creating, communi -
cating and delivering the value to customers. But most
often entry-level marketers hardly have a tool to under-
stand where to promote, how much to promote, what
to create to improve value.
A number of deliberation has been documented to
improve the management of healthcare organizations
including hospitals in recent years [11]. Many innova-
tive tools have been introduced in the healthcare mar-
keting to optimize the outcome of hospitals. The
importance-performance analysis (IPA) by using phys-
icians perspectives regarding performance dimensions
mostly used to understand and interpret the perspec-
tives of the users of services/products or patients in
healthcare [12]. However, such a tool would be further
strengthened with an objectivity-based hospital market
information.
10. The existence of dual professional expertise namely
medical and non-medical in the hospital sector makes
it complex and its management becomes more differ-
entiated than other organizations. Such complexity in
the hospital sector has been described as double-
headed monster by Drucker [13]. Thus, it is becoming
important to define an easy way to demonstrate the
functionalities of marketing professionals in the health
and hospital sector.
This current paper is addressing such need for the
entry-level managers and trying to bring a tool for
them to make them more effective in the organization
while they create value for the organization and for the
customers.
Methodology
The current research paper is the outcome of the obser-
vations in many hospitals in India and the class room
deliberation of marketing management for hospital
services for the students of Masters of Business Admin-
istration (MBA) in Health and Hospital management.
In one of the researcher’s academic visit to one
healthcare organization, he had an opportunity to dis-
cuss with the Head of that organization about market-
ing efforts being done. He mentioned various activities
like the road show, direct customer interaction, spon-
soring few events on life style changes and so on.
While the researcher was trying to understand the
reason behind such activities and how it is linked to
overall organization mission and vision, it was neither
connecting to any of the core values of the organization
nor was linked to any measurable outcome. This in
11. turn creates a non-viable, non-evidence and non-con-
clusive marketing budget which is limited to few activi-
ties which may or may not lead to the growth of the
organization.
This is the standard practice in a sizable small- and
mid-level organization. When young marketing pro-
fessionals enter such organizations, they become a
task doer than a thought based marketer. It has been
observed that many of the young health and hospital
management professionals missed the appropriate
way of looking to the market dynamics.
In order to make things a bit easier for the students
who would start their career as entry-level manager, the
researcher developed a concept on ‘4S Model of Mar-
keting’. This was deliberated in the classroom of
MBA students and evaluated through collection of
information on various aspects of the 4S model. The
model was further refined by taking informal feedback
from the stakeholders of various healthcare organiz-
ations including hospitals.
The model also uses various epidemiological con-
cepts like prevalence rate, diagnosis rate and treatment
rate and socio demographic variables like patients age,
income, place of residence and other factors consider-
ing the complexity in the demand of various medical
services.
The 4 ‘S’ model
When a marketer starts planning of the marketing
activities, most of the fresh marketers are task based
contributors rather than thought based contributors.
When the young and inexperienced professional go
12. out of their management school into a healthcare
organization or a corporate hospital, mostly they are
into a state of confusion as their job is mostly ‘a reac-
tion to a certain situation in the organization’ or ‘task
assigned by the senior professionals’. They are not
able to create a base on which they would prepare
their marketing activities. Subsequently they develop
a perception that the marketing practice in the health-
care organizations are different than the theories they
have learned in their management education. This in
202 B. N. JENA
turn creates hurdles for the professionals to bring a
competitive advantage to the organization they work
for.
The 4S model is based on the premise of under-
standing the basic marketing principles. One of the
major challenges in the healthcare industry is the lack
of proper definition of the services of a particular
organization. If it is not defined well and understood
by its own employees, it becomes a daunting task to
create an innovative communication platform for the
service delivery. Again the service delivery model in
healthcare organizations varies significantly due to
socio-economic, demographic and technological fac-
tors. The model tries to bring systematic way of defin-
ing the service offerings and create a basic ground for
the hospitals to develop the service delivery and keep
doing service development vertically and horizontally.
4S model carries different attributes to understand
the base market and its customers. The 4S in the
13. model are; Size, Shape, Share and Soar.
While for the entry-level marketing professional it is
important to convert the learning in the management
school into practice, it is also important to synchronize
with the thought process of the senior marketing
associates of the organization. While the model was
deliberated in few organizations by the final year
healthcare management students during their summer
training, it was highly appreciated and the synchroni-
zation was established without much difficulty.
The model is given in Figure 1.
Size
The first S of the 4 ‘S’ model is market size. It is utmost
important to quantify the market size. Most often the
entry-level marketing professionals ignore such exer-
cise for the medical or clinical service they work for
or to promote. The sizing of the market for medical
or clinical service is a bit complicated than the sizing
for the other services. The patient pool sizing is critical
for marketing and positioning of medical or clinical
services of both acute and chronic disease. In spite of
a prevalent number of 3.8 million patients for lung
volume reduction surgery (LVRS) in USA, only 119
procedures were performed in the year 2008 under
Medicare [14]. This is due to the lack of effective diag-
nosis and other support system including the com-
munication and counseling to the patients. In case of
chronic disease, the rules of half indicates that of the
total prevalent population, half of the people get diag-
nosed and of the total diagnosed only half of them get
treated [15]. This is clear that the market size, say for a
diabetes treatment is not the prevalent population, but
14. only the treated population which is a fraction of the
prevalent population. However, knowing the most
accurate prevalent number, diagnosis population and
treated population would add a great knowledge to
the marketing activity of the respective medical or
clinical service because the level of prevalence rate
and diagnosis rate would impact the market size.
The template for market size is given in Figure 2.
Such template can be prepared for the territory that
the organization has defined as its operational market.
The operational market can be a small administrative
area or it can be a state or even a country. If the organ-
ization has a multi-level presence in delivery of the par-
ticular medical or clinical service, the market sizing can
be done at each level of the territory and then the same
can be cumulated.
Service pricing in healthcare organization is widely
fluctuated because of the monopolistic competitive
nature of the market. Understanding the average pri-
cing of such services is also important from the market-
ing strategy perspective. While prioritizing the effective
marketing mix elements on patients’ tendency to hos-
pitals, it was found that price, services and physical
assets are the top priority elements in public sector hos-
pitals while services, physical assets and promotion are
the top ones in private hospitals. All these elements
have an impact of more than 30% in terms of patients’
tendency towards hospital marketing mix [1]. There-
fore, the total value of the service concerned must be
worked out or estimated through a secondary data or
sample based market survey. Once this information is
reflected in your market sizing template, that would
15. provide you a great insight of the service which you
are dealing with.
Shape
The shape is the second ‘S’ in the 4 ‘S’ model. Shape of
the market indicates about the consumer’s location and
where the service is provided. This carries a lot of
importance for the marketing of healthcare services
especially in developing countries. A study by IMS
institute for Healthcare Informatics on healthcare
access in India shows that Physical access, capability,
quality of care and affordability are the four major
issues in the healthcare access in India [16]. This indi -
cates that on an average the components of medical
services like hospital beds, doctors, nurses and pharma-
cists are available by more than 70% in urban areas
where as more than 70% customers are in rural areas.
Again more specialized and high-end medical services
like bone marrow transplant is available in metro citi es
where as customers are spread over metro cities, class I
and II and other rural areas. Thus it would be a huge
impact on the marketing exercise when a marketing
activity is done without understanding the location of
the customer and where the service is delivered. The
template on the shape of the market would help in
understanding such vital information.
The template for gathering information on shape of
the market is illustrated in Figure 3.
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE
MANAGEMENT 203
16. Various epidemiological studies have demonstrated
that there is a significant level of variation in the preva-
lence of a disease (pre-requisite for demand of medical
services) by different demographic parameters like age,
gender etc. Such information also influences the mar-
keting activities of any kind of medical or clinical ser -
vices and thus needs to be part of the shape of the
market information.
Share
The third ‘S’ in the 4 ‘S’ model is the share. Harvard
Business Review (HBR) has reiterated that one of the
main determinant of business profitability is market
share and the return on investment is directly related
to the degree of market share [17]. The report has
specified that higher level of market share is an indi -
cation for economies of scale, bigger market power
and superior quality of management. The marketing
challenge increases with higher market share as the
organization demands to maintain the market share
at a higher level which may be a difficult task with
the growing competition in the healthcare industry.
The entry-level manager must have an in-depth under-
standing on the share of a particular medical service by
all the competitors operating in the market place.
The template for data collection for the market share
is given in Figure 4.
Healthcare industry including hospital services,
diagnostic services and allied service is emerging in
most of the developing countries and thus micro indus-
try information by the service providers are limited
although the macro information is available. The
17. pharmaceutical sector is an exception in terms of
data availability on market share and performance of
the major market players. Therefore, entry-level mar-
keting professionals have to initiate an indirect esti -
mation of market share or rely on market survey
pertaining to the service that they handle in the organ-
ization. Having such information platform would pro-
vide a bigger advantage while planning for competition
strategies.

Soar
The fourth and last ‘S’ in the 4 ‘S’ model is ‘Soar’. A
good market analysis will have an economy overview,
which is very helpful in understanding where your cur-
rent market is and where it is going [18]. Healthcare
industry is growing at a rapid rate. The overall Indian
healthcare market is worth around US$ 100 billion
and is expected to grow to US$ 280 billion by 2020, a
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 22.9%
[19]. The industry includes sectors like hospitals, nur-
sing homes, diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare
information technology, medical tourism and so on.
The growth would vary significantly within the sector.
The key here is not only to capture the growth rate of
the sector but also the growth of the services in last few
18. years. This would help in setting up a forecasting plat-
form for the marketing team and thus can influence the
investment decisions of the organization. The template
for data collection for market growth is given in
Figure 5.
For the marketing strategy the forecasting is very
crucial and critical because the strategies that a health-
care organization would implement in times of rapid
growth would be different during sluggish market
[20]. If the industry is expected to grow rapidly, the
marketing plan would be focused on acquiring as
many new customers as possible. If growth is going
to be limited, the focus would have to be more on
retaining customers the business already has – because
his competitors will be striving to lure his customers
away.
Conclusion
In the healthcare industry, the market place is becom-
ing too competitive as the growth is driven by high
incidence rate of non-communicable diseases, injury
and other lifestyle-related complications. Over the
period there is a development of consumerism in the
healthcare industry which drives the demand for
more marketing professionals to deliver value to the
ever demanding customers. The healthcare marketing
is more complicated compared to other services, as it
brings the requirement of clinical information, epide-
miological expertise and of course marketing knowl-
edge. While the healthcare industry is more a kind of
monopolistic competition, the principal- agent
relationship between the patient and doctor inhibits
the disclose of major information flow, on the other
19. hand the marketers in the healthcare organization
Figure 4. Template for ‘market share’.

MANAGEMENT 205
would try to bring as much as information to the
patients to make the decision making easy from the
customer perspective. In such scenario, the entry-
level marketing professional manages multiple chal-
lenges during managing the marketing planning activi-
ties. The 4 ‘S’ model discussed in this paper is going to
add a significant value for the entry-level marketing
professionals in the healthcare industry.
