Ethics in Action Current Events - Case Study Assignment and Rubric
Due Date: Proposed Case for review – due via email to your instructor by Sunday Week 2 (midnight)
Paper due in Week Four drop box by Sunday – Week 4 (midnight)
Points Possible: 155
This week, you will be reviewing current ethics, democracy and leadership headlines, both domestic and international. You will be writing and
submitting a 3 to 5 page paper on a current event where ethics, leadership and/or democracy are intertwined. It has been said that "Recognizing the
existence of an ethical problem is the first step in resolving it" (Rest, J. R., 1994). Your goal will be to identify and offer analysis on a current event
from the headlines, then evaluate and synthesize your thoughts on the situation, culminating in thoughtful, theory based recommendations.
IDENTIFY & ANALYZE: Examine the ethical dimensions of the topic, clearly identifying the challenges and conflicts the issue presents. You should
identify some of the opposing viewpoints discussed in the headlines regarding your topic. What ethical theories support various positions taken by
key stakeholders? Make sure you are addressing the ethical dimensions of your topic not the legal aspects.
EVALUATE: Explain why this issue has interest and concern to stakeholders and the community at-large. Why do decisions made about this topic
have implications for society as a whole? What responsibility does the organization or stakeholders involved have to the community as a whole?
What responsibilities does the public have regarding the issue?
SYNTHESIZE: What challenges are presented to individuals and/or organizations around this topic? Why is this a topic of concern? How might
others in leadership from today’s organizations be affected by this?
RECOMMENDATION: Finally, what do you recommend in terms of best practices or action steps that may be taken by those involved? What have
you learned from exploring this topic? What might some recommended future actions be for those facing similar circumstances?

Please send your References to me with citations written in APA style --see APA Manual of Style, 6th ed. -- no later than the date listed in the Calendar. I will use your Research Question to peruse the titles to make sure they look like original reports of empirical studies that are all on the same research question, and I will do an APA check on one of your citations. No grade will be taken; however, part of your presentation grade depends on using appropriate articles and writing your References page in APA style. If you are in doubt about whether a study is an "original report of an empirical study," feel free to attach it to the Citations and RQ email. Please start early on this assignment and plan to spend several hours searching for the right kind of articles that are all on the same research question. If you need assistance with APA style, please consult the Kail and Cavanaugh text References for many examples of APA-style reference citations.

The head of your organization pulled you aside and asked you to review a workplace dispute. She said, “Apply your best critical thinking to figure out what happened and what decision can best remedy this situation.” She wants your analysis in two weeks.
To begin, let’s consider what it means to engage in critical thinking. While the
application
of critical thinking may vary across disciplines, the steps are universal. Adapted from the writings of Bassham, Irwin, Nardone, and Wallace (2011); Lau (2011); and Lau and Chan (2015), critical thinking involves thinking clearly and systematically, and encompasses
Formulating ideas succinctly and precisely
Identifying the relevance and importance of ideas
Understanding the logical connections between ideas
Identifying, constructing and evaluating arguments, claims, and evidence
Recognizing explicit and implicit assumptions, arguments, and biases
Detecting inconsistencies and common mistakes in reasoning
Formulating clear defensible ideas and conclusions
Evaluating the pros and cons of decisions
Reflecting on one’s own beliefs and values
Applying ethical decision making
The steps involved in critical thinking can be employed universally, in the analysis of all thoughts and actions —whether you are analyzing documents, ideas, assertions, or the quality of decisions/solutions.
Most importantly, critical thinking is purposeful. It is not restricted solely to information gathering, nor is it about being “negative and fault-finding” (Bassham et. al., 2011 p. 1). As Lau and Chan write, “A critical thinker is able to deduce consequences from what he knows, and he knows how to make use of information to solve problems, and to seek relevant sources of information to inform himself” (2015, para 1). While the process of critical thinking may involve exposing untruths and poor reasoning, it also involves engaging in cooperative reasoning for the purposes of shared goals and decision making. We engage in the steps of critical thinking to learn deeply, to improve our ideas, to strengthen arguments and to “enhance work processes and improve social institutions” (Lau and Chan, 2015 para 2).
Critical thinking aligns with and informs ethical reasoning and decision-making. Internet marketing expert Nick Melillo (2010) writes
Critical thinking plays a large role in ethics because it is the process by which we determine for ourselves whether or not something is right or wrong. In a sense, critical thinking is a form of analysis and determination of fact vs. fiction, identifying the unknown, coming to an understanding, etc… By taking the path of a critical thinker, a person develops a mental process of evaluation which helps to determine their ethical standards. (p. 1)
The process of critical thinking helps us weigh and verify information, assess intent, and consider consequences, thereby e.

IHP 525 Final Project Article Review Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
There are two final projects in this course. One is an article review and the other is a data analysis.
Regardless of their field of interest, health professionals across disciplines need to be able to analyze and use biostatistical data to address health concerns
among the populations they serve. They need to be able to identify trends, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for improving health outcomes based
on solid evidence. It is also important that they are able to communicate that information effectively to those directly or indirectly impacted. They also need to
understand what others are doing in their field, the strengths and limitations of that work, and how it affects their own organization, even if they do not intend
to become statisticians.
The two summative assessments for this course lay the foundation for these critical skills. Final Project Article Review asks you to evaluate the strengths and
limitations of existing biostatistical articles and to identify the selection process of appropriate methodologies in different contexts (Final Project Article Review).
You will present your analysis through a written executive summary geared toward an audience of fellow health professionals. In the Final Project Data Analysis,
you will calculate descriptive and inferential statistics of a small data set. You will explain the basic parameters of the data, graph it, and run simple hypothesis
tests. You will present your analysis in a statistical report geared toward a non-technical audience, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for further
research.
For your Final Project Article Review, you will review and analyze published research that you might encounter as a health professional. You will select two
journal articles from the provided list on a topic of interest. You will create an article review that identifies the articles and their relevance to your field;
summarizes the articles, including their findings; compares and contrasts the statistical methods used in the articles; explains why the methods used were
appropriate; discusses their limitations; and concludes with recommendations for future work.
Final Project Article Review is divided into three journals, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality
final submissions. These article journals will be submitted in Modules Two, Five, and Six. The completed article review will be submitted in Module Eight.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
● Analyze the role of biostatistics for its impact on professional decision making in the public health, nursing, or health science fields
● Interpret key biostatistical metrics, methods, and data for addressing population-based health problems
● Evaluate the quality and limitations of published public health, nurs ...

Background & Purpose This report will investigate a sensation.docxrock73
Background & Purpose:
This report will investigate a sensation- or thrill seeking activity that could be a leisure or recreation activity that is taken to an extreme level. This assignment helps you to practice research, present different sides of an argument, and integrate your own evaluation of your chosen sensation- or thrill seeking behavior.
Topic: Young adults, such as students at UCD, are very likely to engage in thrill-seeking behavior. You will select a sensation seeking activity (subject to instructor approval) that exemplifies a leisure or recreational activity that is taken to an extreme level.
Task:
Write a well composed analytical paper that includes the following four components.
Introduction to the topic
Introduce your sensation- or thrill seeking activity and describe how this activity is done. Cite a real life example of it that you have researched. Use this example as your hook. It will be necessary to provide background information about why this activity might be classified as a thrill- or sensation seeking activity and what may be the motivation for individuals to engage in this activity.
Analysis of risks and rewards
Next, provide analysis of why this activity is both risky and rewarding for its participants. In this portion of the paper, discuss what risk factors participants have to deal with in order to do their activity and why such factors are important. Address any possible outcomes that may occur if the activity goes awry. Balance your analysis with a discussion of the possible payoffs participants may gain from doing this activity. Point out any rewards the participants may reap while achieving their goals.
Argument
Lastly, use the information from your analysis to argue whether engaging in this activity is truly dangerous or not. Be sure to develop your reasoning adequately in this section and consider 1-2 counterarguments.
Conclusion
Conclude your analysis by recommending whether this activity is a viable leisure or recreation activity for most people and point out what can be gained from observing such behaviors and those that participate in thrill- or sensation seeking activities.
Genre and Audience:
Your paper should be written in formal language for an educated audience. Use APA citation style and add a reference list at the end of the report. Prepare your paper with interesting headings for individual sections. If you choose, you may include images of the activity that may support your analysis give the reader a sense of the actual activity. However, you must include references to all sources and images that you use.
Sources to Consult
Your analysis must cite two of the required readings we read for this unit (readings we read after the midterm). In addition, you must include 2-3 additional sources that will supplement your analysis of the activity. It is recommended that these sources be from either scholarly sources, newspapers, or current events magazines. However, you are encourag ...

ANALYTICS PLAN TO REDUCE CUSTOMER CHURN AT YORE BLENDS
Himabindu Aratikatla
University of the Cumberland's

Introduction
Yore Blends (YB) is a fictional online company dedicated to selling subscription-based traditional spice blends coupled with additional complementary products.
Yore Blends (YB) aspire to growing through mergers and acquisitions.
To do this, they need a strong customer base and steady revenue.
Yore Blends is concerned with the rate of customer churn.
Company’s Problem
Yore Blends has been in existence for years.
Nonetheless, the company is considering to expand through mergers and acquisition.
However, they are experiencing customer churn.
A considerable percentage of its clients don’t purchase their goods anymore.
As a result, the company needs to reduce customer attrition by at least 16%.
Causes for Customer Churn
Poor customer care service:
The company minimized rather than maximizing client cost
Bad onboarding:
Yore Blends clients failed to get value for the purchased products.
Clients might have lost interest in the company’s products.
Many companies think of customer service as a cost to be minimized, rather than an investment to be maximized. Here’s the issue with that: if you think of support as a cost center, then it will be. That is, if you don’t prioritize support and work to deliver excellent service to your customers, then it’s only going to cost you money…and customers. A disproportionate amount of your customer churn will take place between (1) and (2).
That’s where customers abandon your product because they get lost, don’t understand something, don’t get value from the product, or simply lose interest.
Bad onboarding – the process by which you help a customer go from (1) to (2) – can crush your retention rate, and undo all of that hard work you did to get your customers to convert in the first place.
4
Causes for Customer Churn (Cont.)
Limited customer success:
Lack of updates regarding new products
Extended absence of the company-client communication
Natural Causes:
Customers may have grown out of the products.
May have resulted due to Vendor switches might
While onboarding gets your customer to their initial success, your job isn’t done there. Hundreds of variables – including changing needs, confusion about new features and product updates, extended absences from the product and competitor marketing – could lead your customers away. If your customers stop hearing from you, and you stop helping them get value from your product throughout their entire lifecycle, then you risk making that lifecycle much, much shorter. Furthermore, Not every customer that abandons you does so because you failed. Sometimes, customers go out of business. Sometimes, operational or staff changes lead to vendor switches. Sometimes, they simply outgrow your product or service. (Salloum, 2016)

Analytical Essay One, due Sunday, February 24th at 1100 pmTopic.docxgreg1eden90113
Analytical Essay One, due Sunday, February 24th at 11:00 pm
Topic A
In Unit 4, we claimed that empire-builders in the ancient world needed to "craft a type of multi-ethnic cohesion" – ways for people from different backgrounds to coexist under the umbrella of the empire – in order for their state to function (Video 4.1). On the other hand, we consider evidence discussed in Units 3 and 4 that the foundation of empire was the willingness of leaders to use violence to overwhelm their enemies.
In an essay of 600 to 1200 words, explore such evidence to make an argument about some of the ways people balanced political solutions to problems with war. In the end, you should persuade your reader, through your thoughtful analysis of the historical evidence, that empire-building in the ancient world transformed the ways that humans understood the role of violence in politics.
When organizing your ideas and drafting your essay, follow these guidelines:
1. Build your analysis using the course materials. The basis of your essay should be the primary source material found at the end of Unit 4 under “Unit 4 Resources.” By all means, take the ideas and evidence offered in the videos (and please note that we have provided transcripts of the videos as well.) This information will provide context for the primary resources.
*DO NOT base your observations on other evidence that you locate on the web or elsewhere. Remember, a big part of this essay is showing your mastery of the course material as assigned.*
2. After reviewing the material from Week 4, choose the two -- four examples from the primary sources that best allow you to make a persuasive case about the role of empire in the ancient world. While you want to show that you understand the larger trends in the material, take the time to explore in depth these specific examples.
3. When you refer to specific historical evidence (which should be something you do frequently throughout the essay), indicate, in parentheses, the location in the course materials of the evidence. An example of this is in the first sentence above.
4. Do not simply copy what we (or anyone else) have said. If you do, use quotation marks to indicate that the words were written by someone else and be sure to indicate your source for the quotation in parentheses. Plagiarism is a serious violation of GSU policy that leads to severe penalties!
5. To qualify for a grade in the C range, your essay must be at least 600 words (which is approximately 2 double-spaced pages, depending on the formatting of your document). B-range essays must be at least 900 words, and A-range essays must be at least 1200 words. However, meeting the word requirement does not mean that you will necessary receive a certain grade.
We will grade the essay out of 100 possible points according to these criteria:
Up to 30 points for the student's grasp of the larger historical context covered in the units
Up to 25 points for the appropriateness of the student's choi.

Analysis on the Demand of Top Talent Introduction
in Big Data and Cloud Computing Field in China
Based on 3-F Method
Zhao Linjia, Huang Yuanxi, Wang Yinqiu, Liu Jia
National Academy of Innovation Strategy, China Association for Science and Technology, Beijing, P.R.China
Abstract—Big data and cloud computing, which can help
China to implement innovation-driven development strategy and
promote industrial transformation and upgrading, is a new and
emerging industrial field in China. Educated, productive and
healthy workforces are necessary factor to develop big data and
cloud computing industry, especially top talents are essential.
Therefore, a three-step method named 3-F has been introduced
to help describing the distribution of top talents globally and
making decision whether they are needed in China. The 3-F
method relies on calculating the brain gain index to analysis the
top talent introduction demand of a country. Firstly, Focus on the
high-frequency keywords of a specific field by retrieving the
highly cited papers. Secondly, using those keywords to Find out
the top talents of this specific field in the Web of Science. Finally,
Figure out the brain gain index to estimate whether a country
need to introduce top talents of a specific field abroad. The result
showed that the brain gain index value of China's big data and
cloud computing field was 2.61, which means China need to
introduce top talents abroad. Besides P. R. China, those top
talents mainly distributed in the United States, the United
Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands and France.
I. INTRODUCTION
Big data and cloud computing is a new and emerging
industrial field[1], and increasing widely used in China[2-4].
Talents’ experience is a source of technological mastery[5],
essentially for developing and using big data technologies.
Most European states consider the immigration of foreign
workers as an important factor to decelerate the decline of
national workforces[6]. Lots of universities and research
institutes have set up undergraduate and/or postgraduate
courses on data analytics for cultivating talents[7]. EMC
corporation think that vision, talent, and technology are
necessary elements to providing solutions to big data
management and analysis, insuring the big data success[8].
Bibliometrics research has appeared as early as 1917[9],
and has been proved an effective method for assessing or
identifying talents. Based on analyses of publication volume,
journals and their impact factors, most cited articles and
authors, preferred methods, and represented countries,
Gallardo-Gallardo et. al[10] assess whether talent management
should be approached as an embryonic, growth, or mature
phenomenon.
In this paper, we intend to analysis whether China need to
introduce top talents in the field of big data and cloud
computing by using bibliometrics. In section 2, the 3-F method
for top talent introduction demand analysis will be dis.

community are complicated by the
tendency to use "Islam" and "terror-
ism"in thesame breath. An example of
such muddled thinking was the Royal
United Services Institute's warning
last month that "misplaced deference
to multiculturalism has failed to lay
down the line to immigrant communi-
ties", undermining the fight against
extremism (R&R, 29 February. pl6).
But while the treatment, real or per-
ceived, of parts of our Muslim commu-
nity may exacerbate problems in this
country, the origins of violent extrem-
ism are not domestic - and they cannot
be cured by "laying down the line".
Accommodating diverse cultures
and faiths will always be difficult: there
could be no meeting of minds between
the Hindu monks in Hertfordshire
who believed that the natural death of
their sacred eow should not have been
hastened, and the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
who were equally adamant that the
animal should be put down humanely.
When minorities are small, it is easy
forthe majority to ignore iheir customs.
The Orthodox Jewish communities in
north London have been accepted for
years. But their plans to create an 11
mile symbolic boundary.or Eruv.incor-
porating the Jewish community in
Golders Green met a decade of resist-
ance from people who felt that shared
space was beingcolonised.even though
the visible impact was minimal.
But we cannot ignore the increasing
diversity of our population. There has
been a steady increase in immigration
over the last 20 years and recent im-
migrants tend to be younger and so
have more children than the resident
population. Coupled with natural pop-
ulation growth, the proportion of our
population with a relatively recent
overseas heritage will continue to rise.
And the number of ethnically-mixed
neighbourhoods will grow with it.
There are areas where minorities
will soon be majorities, such as Birm-
ingham and several London boroughs.
But the internal migration patterns of
our minority population are similar to
those of the majorityionc in five neigh-
bourhoods in England are projected to
be ethnically mixed by 2011.
Of course, most of our diverse pop-
ulation will absorb the broad values
of British society, and there will be
many more children from mixed race
relationships. But it would be a mis-
take to ignore different heritages. We
cannot choos.

Critical Thinking in Action
Background
What is Critical Thinking?
The head of your organization pulled you aside and asked you to review a workplace dispute. She said, “Apply your best critical thinking to figure out what happened and what decision can best remedy this situation.” She wants your analysis in two weeks.
To begin, let’s consider what it means to engage in critical thinking. While the
application
of critical thinking may vary across disciplines, the steps are universal. Adapted from the writings of Bassham, Irwin, Nardone, and Wallace (2011); Lau (2011); and Lau and Chan (2015), critical thinking involves thinking clearly and systematically, and encompasses
Formulating ideas succinctly and precisely
Identifying the relevance and importance of ideas
Understanding the logical connections between ideas
Identifying, constructing and evaluating arguments, claims, and evidence
Recognizing explicit and implicit assumptions, arguments, and biases
Detecting inconsistencies and common mistakes in reasoning
Formulating clear defensible ideas and conclusions
Evaluating the pros and cons of decisions
Reflecting on one’s own beliefs and values
Applying ethical decision making
The steps involved in critical thinking can be employed universally, in the analysis of all thoughts and actions —whether you are analyzing documents, ideas, assertions, or the quality of decisions/solutions.
Most importantly, critical thinking is purposeful. It is not restricted solely to information gathering, nor is it about being “negative and fault-finding” (Bassham et. al., 2011 p. 1). As Lau and Chan write, “A critical thinker is able to deduce consequences from what he knows, and he knows how to make use of information to solve problems, and to seek relevant sources of information to inform himself” (2015, para 1). While the process of critical thinking may involve exposing untruths and poor reasoning, it also involves engaging in cooperative reasoning for the purposes of shared goals and decision making. We engage in the steps of critical thinking to learn deeply, to improve our ideas, to strengthen arguments and to “enhance work processes and improve social institutions” (Lau and Chan, 2015 para 2).
Critical thinking aligns with and informs ethical reasoning and decision-making. Internet marketing expert Nick Melillo (2010) writes
Critical thinking plays a large role in ethics because it is the process by which we determine for ourselves whether or not something is right or wrong. In a sense, critical thinking is a form of analysis and determination of fact vs. fiction, identifying the unknown, coming to an understanding, etc… By taking the path of a critical thinker, a person develops a mental process of evaluation which helps to determine their ethical standards. (p. 1)
The process of critical thinking helps us weigh and verify information, assess intent, and consider consequences, thereby e.

IHP 525 Final Project Article Review Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
There are two final projects in this course. One is an article review and the other is a data analysis.
Regardless of their field of interest, health professionals across disciplines need to be able to analyze and use biostatistical data to address health concerns
among the populations they serve. They need to be able to identify trends, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for improving health outcomes based
on solid evidence. It is also important that they are able to communicate that information effectively to those directly or indirectly impacted. They also need to
understand what others are doing in their field, the strengths and limitations of that work, and how it affects their own organization, even if they do not intend
to become statisticians.
The two summative assessments for this course lay the foundation for these critical skills. Final Project Article Review asks you to evaluate the strengths and
limitations of existing biostatistical articles and to identify the selection process of appropriate methodologies in different contexts (Final Project Article Review).
You will present your analysis through a written executive summary geared toward an audience of fellow health professionals. In the Final Project Data Analysis,
you will calculate descriptive and inferential statistics of a small data set. You will explain the basic parameters of the data, graph it, and run simple hypothesis
tests. You will present your analysis in a statistical report geared toward a non-technical audience, draw conclusions, and make recommendations for further
research.
For your Final Project Article Review, you will review and analyze published research that you might encounter as a health professional. You will select two
journal articles from the provided list on a topic of interest. You will create an article review that identifies the articles and their relevance to your field;
summarizes the articles, including their findings; compares and contrasts the statistical methods used in the articles; explains why the methods used were
appropriate; discusses their limitations; and concludes with recommendations for future work.
Final Project Article Review is divided into three journals, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality
final submissions. These article journals will be submitted in Modules Two, Five, and Six. The completed article review will be submitted in Module Eight.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
● Analyze the role of biostatistics for its impact on professional decision making in the public health, nursing, or health science fields
● Interpret key biostatistical metrics, methods, and data for addressing population-based health problems
● Evaluate the quality and limitations of published public health, nurs ...

Background & Purpose This report will investigate a sensation.docxrock73
Background & Purpose:
This report will investigate a sensation- or thrill seeking activity that could be a leisure or recreation activity that is taken to an extreme level. This assignment helps you to practice research, present different sides of an argument, and integrate your own evaluation of your chosen sensation- or thrill seeking behavior.
Topic: Young adults, such as students at UCD, are very likely to engage in thrill-seeking behavior. You will select a sensation seeking activity (subject to instructor approval) that exemplifies a leisure or recreational activity that is taken to an extreme level.
Task:
Write a well composed analytical paper that includes the following four components.
Introduction to the topic
Introduce your sensation- or thrill seeking activity and describe how this activity is done. Cite a real life example of it that you have researched. Use this example as your hook. It will be necessary to provide background information about why this activity might be classified as a thrill- or sensation seeking activity and what may be the motivation for individuals to engage in this activity.
Analysis of risks and rewards
Next, provide analysis of why this activity is both risky and rewarding for its participants. In this portion of the paper, discuss what risk factors participants have to deal with in order to do their activity and why such factors are important. Address any possible outcomes that may occur if the activity goes awry. Balance your analysis with a discussion of the possible payoffs participants may gain from doing this activity. Point out any rewards the participants may reap while achieving their goals.
Argument
Lastly, use the information from your analysis to argue whether engaging in this activity is truly dangerous or not. Be sure to develop your reasoning adequately in this section and consider 1-2 counterarguments.
Conclusion
Conclude your analysis by recommending whether this activity is a viable leisure or recreation activity for most people and point out what can be gained from observing such behaviors and those that participate in thrill- or sensation seeking activities.
Genre and Audience:
Your paper should be written in formal language for an educated audience. Use APA citation style and add a reference list at the end of the report. Prepare your paper with interesting headings for individual sections. If you choose, you may include images of the activity that may support your analysis give the reader a sense of the actual activity. However, you must include references to all sources and images that you use.
Sources to Consult
Your analysis must cite two of the required readings we read for this unit (readings we read after the midterm). In addition, you must include 2-3 additional sources that will supplement your analysis of the activity. It is recommended that these sources be from either scholarly sources, newspapers, or current events magazines. However, you are encourag ...

ANALYTICS PLAN TO REDUCE CUSTOMER CHURN AT YORE BLENDS
Himabindu Aratikatla
University of the Cumberland's

Introduction
Yore Blends (YB) is a fictional online company dedicated to selling subscription-based traditional spice blends coupled with additional complementary products.
Yore Blends (YB) aspire to growing through mergers and acquisitions.
To do this, they need a strong customer base and steady revenue.
Yore Blends is concerned with the rate of customer churn.
Company’s Problem
Yore Blends has been in existence for years.
Nonetheless, the company is considering to expand through mergers and acquisition.
However, they are experiencing customer churn.
A considerable percentage of its clients don’t purchase their goods anymore.
As a result, the company needs to reduce customer attrition by at least 16%.
Causes for Customer Churn
Poor customer care service:
The company minimized rather than maximizing client cost
Bad onboarding:
Yore Blends clients failed to get value for the purchased products.
Clients might have lost interest in the company’s products.
Many companies think of customer service as a cost to be minimized, rather than an investment to be maximized. Here’s the issue with that: if you think of support as a cost center, then it will be. That is, if you don’t prioritize support and work to deliver excellent service to your customers, then it’s only going to cost you money…and customers. A disproportionate amount of your customer churn will take place between (1) and (2).
That’s where customers abandon your product because they get lost, don’t understand something, don’t get value from the product, or simply lose interest.
Bad onboarding – the process by which you help a customer go from (1) to (2) – can crush your retention rate, and undo all of that hard work you did to get your customers to convert in the first place.
4
Causes for Customer Churn (Cont.)
Limited customer success:
Lack of updates regarding new products
Extended absence of the company-client communication
Natural Causes:
Customers may have grown out of the products.
May have resulted due to Vendor switches might
While onboarding gets your customer to their initial success, your job isn’t done there. Hundreds of variables – including changing needs, confusion about new features and product updates, extended absences from the product and competitor marketing – could lead your customers away. If your customers stop hearing from you, and you stop helping them get value from your product throughout their entire lifecycle, then you risk making that lifecycle much, much shorter. Furthermore, Not every customer that abandons you does so because you failed. Sometimes, customers go out of business. Sometimes, operational or staff changes lead to vendor switches. Sometimes, they simply outgrow your product or service. (Salloum, 2016)

Analytical Essay One, due Sunday, February 24th at 1100 pmTopic.docxgreg1eden90113
Analytical Essay One, due Sunday, February 24th at 11:00 pm
Topic A
In Unit 4, we claimed that empire-builders in the ancient world needed to "craft a type of multi-ethnic cohesion" – ways for people from different backgrounds to coexist under the umbrella of the empire – in order for their state to function (Video 4.1). On the other hand, we consider evidence discussed in Units 3 and 4 that the foundation of empire was the willingness of leaders to use violence to overwhelm their enemies.
In an essay of 600 to 1200 words, explore such evidence to make an argument about some of the ways people balanced political solutions to problems with war. In the end, you should persuade your reader, through your thoughtful analysis of the historical evidence, that empire-building in the ancient world transformed the ways that humans understood the role of violence in politics.
When organizing your ideas and drafting your essay, follow these guidelines:
1. Build your analysis using the course materials. The basis of your essay should be the primary source material found at the end of Unit 4 under “Unit 4 Resources.” By all means, take the ideas and evidence offered in the videos (and please note that we have provided transcripts of the videos as well.) This information will provide context for the primary resources.
*DO NOT base your observations on other evidence that you locate on the web or elsewhere. Remember, a big part of this essay is showing your mastery of the course material as assigned.*
2. After reviewing the material from Week 4, choose the two -- four examples from the primary sources that best allow you to make a persuasive case about the role of empire in the ancient world. While you want to show that you understand the larger trends in the material, take the time to explore in depth these specific examples.
3. When you refer to specific historical evidence (which should be something you do frequently throughout the essay), indicate, in parentheses, the location in the course materials of the evidence. An example of this is in the first sentence above.
4. Do not simply copy what we (or anyone else) have said. If you do, use quotation marks to indicate that the words were written by someone else and be sure to indicate your source for the quotation in parentheses. Plagiarism is a serious violation of GSU policy that leads to severe penalties!
5. To qualify for a grade in the C range, your essay must be at least 600 words (which is approximately 2 double-spaced pages, depending on the formatting of your document). B-range essays must be at least 900 words, and A-range essays must be at least 1200 words. However, meeting the word requirement does not mean that you will necessary receive a certain grade.
We will grade the essay out of 100 possible points according to these criteria:
Up to 30 points for the student's grasp of the larger historical context covered in the units
Up to 25 points for the appropriateness of the student's choi.

Analysis on the Demand of Top Talent Introduction
in Big Data and Cloud Computing Field in China
Based on 3-F Method

Abstract—Big data and cloud computing, which can help
China to implement innovation-driven development strategy and
promote industrial transformation and upgrading, is a new and
emerging industrial field in China. Educated, productive and
healthy workforces are necessary factor to develop big data and
cloud computing industry, especially top talents are essential.
Therefore, a three-step method named 3-F has been introduced
to help describing the distribution of top talents globally and
making decision whether they are needed in China. The 3-F
method relies on calculating the brain gain index to analysis the
top talent introduction demand of a country. Firstly, Focus on the
high-frequency keywords of a specific field by retrieving the
highly cited papers. Secondly, using those keywords to Find out
the top talents of this specific field in the Web of Science. Finally,
Figure out the brain gain index to estimate whether a country
need to introduce top talents of a specific field abroad. The result
showed that the brain gain index value of China's big data and
cloud computing field was 2.61, which means China need to
introduce top talents abroad. Besides P. R. China, those top
talents mainly distributed in the United States, the United
Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands and France.
I. INTRODUCTION
Big data and cloud computing is a new and emerging
industrial field[1], and increasing widely used in China[2-4].
Talents’ experience is a source of technological mastery[5],
essentially for developing and using big data technologies.
Most European states consider the immigration of foreign
workers as an important factor to decelerate the decline of
national workforces[6]. Lots of universities and research
institutes have set up undergraduate and/or postgraduate
courses on data analytics for cultivating talents[7]. EMC
corporation think that vision, talent, and technology are
necessary elements to providing solutions to big data
management and analysis, insuring the big data success[8].
Bibliometrics research has appeared as early as 1917[9],
and has been proved an effective method for assessing or
identifying talents. Based on analyses of publication volume,
journals and their impact factors, most cited articles and
authors, preferred methods, and represented countries,
Gallardo-Gallardo et. al[10] assess whether talent management
should be approached as an embryonic, growth, or mature
phenomenon.
In this paper, we intend to analysis whether China need to
introduce top talents in the field of big data and cloud
computing by using bibliometrics. In section 2, the 3-F method
for top talent introduction demand analysis will be dis.

Let s embrace our
dual identities
COMMUNITY COHESION Absorbing British values does not
mean ignoring our different heritages, says Alan Riddell
Local heritage: many Britons retain distinctive cultural ana reiigious characteristics
Minorities and faith issues stir strong
emotions. The Archbishop of Canter-
bury's mistake in raising the issue of
how the (J K should accommodate the
needs of one of its larger minorities
was to mention Sharia law. with all the
fears it raises about executions, cut-
ting off hands, and lack of rights for
women. It's not surprising that politi-
cians were brisk to condemn him.
Questions involving the Muslim
community are complicated by the
tendency to use "Islam" and "terror-
ism"in thesame breath. An example of
such muddled thinking was the Royal
United Services Institute's warning
last month that "misplaced deference
to multiculturalism has failed to lay
down the line to immigrant communi-
ties", undermining the fight against
extremism (R&R, 29 February. pl6).
But while the treatment, real or per-
ceived, of parts of our Muslim commu-
nity may exacerbate problems in this
country, the origins of violent extrem-
ism are not domestic - and they cannot
be cured by "laying down the line".
Accommodating diverse cultures
and faiths will always be difficult: there
could be no meeting of minds between
the Hindu monks in Hertfordshire
who believed that the natural death of
their sacred eow should not have been
hastened, and the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
who were equally adamant that the
animal should be put down humanely.
When minorities are small, it is easy
forthe majority to ignore iheir customs.
The Orthodox Jewish communities in
north London have been accepted for
years. But their plans to create an 11
mile symbolic boundary.or Eruv.incor-
porating the Jewish community in
Golders Green met a decade of resist-
ance from people who felt that shared
space was beingcolonised.even though
the visible impact was minimal.
But we cannot ignore the increasing
diversity of our population. There has
been a steady increase in immigration
over the last 20 years and recent im-
migrants tend to be younger and so
have more children than the resident
population. Coupled with natural pop-
ulation growth, the proportion of our
population with a relatively recent
overseas heritage will continue to rise.
And the number of ethnically-mixed
neighbourhoods will grow with it.
There are areas where minorities
will soon be majorities, such as Birm-
ingham and several London boroughs.
But the internal migration patterns of
our minority population are similar to
those of the majorityionc in five neigh-
bourhoods in England are projected to
be ethnically mixed by 2011.
Of course, most of our diverse pop-
ulation will absorb the broad values
of British society, and there will be
many more children from mixed race
relationships. But it would be a mis-
take to ignore different heritages. We
cannot choos.

“Give a kid a paper sheet and some colours and ask him to
draw a car, for certain the car will be red” (Enzo Ferrari)
I. Introduction
A prancing black horse on a yellow background is not something that could pass unnoticed.
Destined to become an icon of style, luxury and speed, the first Ferrari made its appearance to the
public in 1947, eight years after the foundation by the Italian entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari of Auto
Avio Costruzioni, what would come to be, later on, the well-known brand Ferrari.
Throughout the history the company divided itself into the developing and production of
racing cars, becoming one of the most successful racing team in the world, and of luxury cars
distinguishing itself for the excellence of the Italian manufacture. As a matter of fact Ferrari’s cars
are build following the ideal of perfection in terms of design, power and elegance conveyed by the
Marketing Report �3
Analysis of the Marketing outlook of Ferrari
founder, Enzo Ferrari, who was used to say: “The best Ferrari is the next one” (Enzo Ferrari, no
date).
From its foundation till today Ferrari’s mission statement has been to build unique sport
cars, symbols of Italian excellence both on the road and on track. At the end of 2015 the Italian
sport car manufacturer can praise more than 7500 cars sold with a presence in 62 worldwide
markets and a net revenues of 2,854 millions of euros (Ferrari, Annual Report 2015).
Herein, the purpose of the report will be to analyse in the first part the external factors that
influence the company’s business. Then I will take into account the industry within which the
company operates in. After that, I will examine the strategic position of the company in the market
and the marketing strategy utilised for its products, namely sport cars. Finally I will conclude taking
into consideration sustainability and ethic-related issues that the company is dealing with.

The first concern for a company’s business is to understand and deal with all the external
factors that could affect the company’s future performance. It is worth saying that all possible
external factors are not under control of.

Regional Economic Integration and Economic Cooperation
The Asian region is among the leading international economic powerhouses due to its economic potential and size with countries such as China and Singapore dominating the region. Nonetheless, the capacity constraints in various Asian nations and the diversity of the continent complicate the efforts to create a unified market in the Far East. Achieving success in Asia's regional economic integration requires high commitment levels among the member countries in addition to the effective implementation of various initiatives to facilitate economic cooperation (Rillo & Cruz, 2016). I consider China and Singapore as significant players in the global and Asian economies due to their volumes of traded goods and investments in their local and foreign markets. For instance, China leads in the Asian continent, and its economy is the second largest in the world based on its nominal gross domestic product as an indicator of market performance. On the other hand, Singapore's highly developed economy is among the most rapidly growing in the world, and this has allowed the country from a third-world nation into a developed country in about five decades. I also observe that variations scope and breadth exist in regional economic integration, and the economic integration in the East Asia region initially assumed a market-oriented cooperation process before transforming into an economic integration drive.
My understanding is that a trade bloc refers to a form of an agreement between different governments that reduce or eliminate trade barriers to increase trade volumes among the member states. I have also learned that the trade blocs can exist as independent agreements between specific countries or form components of regional organizations. The trade blocs can further be categorized as monetary and economic unions, common markets, customs unions, free trade areas, and preferential trading areas. In Asia, the intergovernmental agreements have resulted in some regional trade agreements as well as the formation of the ASEAN trading bloc. I noted that China and Singapore are currently members of the Association of South-East Nations trading block alongside eight other countries in Southeast Asia. The primary objectives of ASEAN include the facilitation of sociocultural, educational, military, political, and economic integration as well as promoting intergovernmental cooperation in the region (Berman & Haque, 2015). The first stated aim of ASEAN is enhancing the competitiveness of the region in the international market as a production base by eliminating non-tariff and tariff barriers within the member states. The second aim of ASEAN is increasing the volume of FDI's to the Southeast Asia .

Analysis of Literature ReviewFailure to develop key competencie.docxgreg1eden90113
Analysis of Literature Review
Failure to develop key competencies and behaviors has been researched before through studying the workplace conflicts. In essence, workplace conflicts are inevitable mainly when employees are people from various backgrounds and different work styles that are brought together for the sake of shared business objectives. The history of organizations failing to develop competencies is quite long, and only a few studies have shown that about 30% of organizations have initiatives to improve behaviors among employees (Sperry, 2011). Previous have depicted several progressive organizations that use a leadership competency model to assist in outlining key skills and behaviors wanted by managers, supervisors, and executives.
Several questions remain unanswered about this subject, and they exist in some ways. First, the question is about the guilty of facilitation of workshops with management. It happens because organizations fail to identify and specify the essential competencies that apply to particular issues in the organization. Ideally, organizations need to shuffle and prioritize on the generic competencies as well as behaviors that would require management leaders to help in solving problems that may arise in the workplace (Sperry, 2011). Second, there is no proof of the competencies that matter to organizations. Indeed, there is must empirical data about the key behaviors that have the most significant effect on the engagement of employees, attraction, customer levels, and productivity of the employees in several organizations (Frisk & Larson, 2011).
The current best practices in dealing with this particular type of organization conflict are many and precisely based on the supervisors, managers, and executives. Develop towering strengths that would help in overshadowing weaknesses in the organization. Ideally, good leadership development always tries to magnify small natural strengths to highly energized strengths that would result in double improvement (Halász & Michel, 2011). The current best practice is the application of the competency models to assist leaders in improving their effectiveness, especially when dealing with employee behaviors in the organization.
Design Proposal and Outline
Topic of Training
The topic of training is using competency models for development and building of key competencies and behaviors in an organization.
Reason for the Choice
The topic is chosen because the primary purpose of the competency model is to assist leaders in the improvement of their effectiveness in developing key competencies and behaviors in an organization. The strengths cross-training is a common thing in an organization since it is closely associated with competency and behavior improvement (Sperry, 2011).
Subsequently, the topic is narrow enough to address in two-hour training since it is quite specific. The topic is based on enhancing the competency framework at the workplace which is indeed critical i.

Merit-founded Incentive Payment System (MIPS) is a platform for value-founded settlement under the Quality Payment Program (QPP). The system aims at fostering the current innovation and improvement in clinical operations. MIPS mean that the organization should rationalize Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) (Meeks & Singh, 2019). Meaningful use guidelines are certain facets of an HER system that providers will be needed to use in their organization.

Application of computers to draw guidance and instructions on conditions
Availability of lab information system
No replacement of diagnosing equipments
Independence Medical Center’s Electronic Health Records (HER) system has complied with some set guidelines. For instance, the healthcare organization has set technology system in its intensive care units. In addition, there is use of computers to draw guidance and instructions regarding several conditions on patients. However, the organization has not obeyed some guidelines like the replacement of outdated diagnosing equipment and lack of integrating EHR to accommodate all patients’ needs (Boonstra & Vos, 2018).

Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)
Independence Medical Center’s Electronic has set up various EHR systems for use in different departments to deliver healthcare services to patients. For instance, the organization has implemented PACS, which is a health check imaging technology which offers reasonable storage and expedient admission to images from numerous modalities (Data & Komorowski, 2017).

Evaluation of EHR
The electronic health record system used in the ambulatory system lacks integration to accommodate patient’s needs. The system does not alert physician on drug interactions and other warning. On another point, each department has its exclusive system making it hard to share information between staff members in various units (Boonstra & Vos, 2018). An effective EHR system should be in a position to enable information transmission to all staff.

Analysis of a Career in Surgery
INTRODUCTION
A career as a surgeon is long, incredibly difficult, competitive, costly, and one of the most rewarding pursuits you can have in your life. Something not typically mentioned to aspiring pre-medical students is the complicated nature of applying to medical school and residency. Much more is required than just a set of good grades. Volunteer work in the community, leadership and research experience, writing and interviewing skills, are all necessary for a successful application to medical school. All of those things are required yet again, when applying to surgical residency.
Before digging into all those things, let’s look at the definition of a surgeon. The United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statisticsdescribes the surgical profession in the Occupational Outlook Handbook as the following: “Using a variety of instruments, a surgeon corrects physical deformities, repairs bone and tissue after injuries, or performs preventive or elective surgeries on patients.” This is a strict definition however; a more useful outlook would be to focus on what traits lend themselves to becoming a successful surgeon.
There is a useful list created by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), titled, “So You Want to Be A Surgeon: An Online Guide to Selecting and Matching with the Best Surgery Residency,” which aims at current medical students. The guide says that a surgeon should work well as a member of a team; enjoy quick patient outcomes; welcome increasing responsibility; excel at solving problems with quick thinking; be inspired by challenges; and love to learn new skills (American College of Surgeons). The ACS recommends looking into a surgical career if you believe some or all of those traits apply to you. However, there is no such thing as a “standard surgical resident” and the ACS points out that “surgeons are trained, not born.…Becoming a good surgeon is a lifelong process.”
For students interested in pursuing a surgical career, this analysis will explore the education, training, and career of a Surgeon. Information for objective analysis will be taken from multiple sources including article databases, government sources, a personal interview with an orthopedic surgeon, the American College of Sur.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Maslach Burnout Inventory and a Self-Defined, Single-Item
Burnout
Measure Produce Different Clinician and Staff Burnout
Estimates

Huang, BA, and Kevin Grumbach, MD

and Community Medicine, University of California, San
Francisco, CA, USA.
BACKGROUND: Clinicians and healthcare staff report
high levels of burnout. Two common burnout assess-
ments are the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a
15. single-item, self-defined burnout measure. Relatively lit-
tle is known about how the measures compare.
OBJECTIVE: To identify the sensitivity, specificity, and
concurrent validity of the self-defined burnout measure
compared to the more established MBI measure.
DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey (November 2016–Janu-
ary 2017).
PARTICIPANTS: Four hundred forty-four primary care
clinicians and 606 staff from three San Francisco Aarea
healthcare systems.
MAIN MEASURES: The MBI measure, calculated from a
high score on either the emotional exhaustion or cynicism
subscale, and a single-itemmeasure of self-defined burn-
out. Concurrent validity was assessed using a validated,
7-item team culture scale as reported by Willard-Grace
et al. (J Am Board Fam Med 27(2):229–38, 2014) and a
standard question about workplace atmosphere as
reported by Rassolian et al. (JAMA Intern Med
177(7):1036–8, 2017) and Linzer et al. (Ann Intern Med
151(1):28–36, 2009).
KEYRESULTS: Similar to other nationally representative
burnout estimates, 52% of clinicians (95% CI: 47–57%)
and 46% of staff (95% CI: 42–50%) reported high MBI
emotional exhaustion or high MBI cynicism. In contrast,
29% of clinicians (95%CI: 25–33%) and 31% of staff (95%
CI: 28–35%) reported Bdefinitely burning out^ or more
severe symptoms on the self-defined burnout measure.
The self-defined measure’s sensitivity to correctly identify
MBI-assessed burnout was 50.4% for clinicians and
58.6% for staff; specificity was 94.7% for clinicians and
92.3% for staff. Area under the receiver operator curve
was 0.82 for clinicians and 0.81 for staff. Team culture
and atmosphere were significantly associated with both
self-defined burnout and the MBI, confirming concurrent
validity.
CONCLUSIONS: Point estimates of burnout notably differ
17. Bquadruple aim^ of a sustainable clinician and staff work
experience in addition to improved patient experience, quality,
and lower costs.

The American Medical Association’s
BSTEPS Forward^ modules offer guidance on practice trans-
formation and clinician and trainee well-being.

The Society
for General Internal Medicine made burnout a theme of its
2017 Annual Meeting.

The American Board of Family Med-
icine added work experience questions to its 2016 recertifica-
tion registration to better understand and track burnout,

CEOs of leading healthcare organizations have issued a call to
action that argues for regular measurement of physician well-
being.

Within this context of heightened attention to clinician and
staff well-being, greater understanding of the instruments used
to measure burnout is essential. Two common measures are
the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and a five-choice,
single item based on self-defined burnout. The MBI, consid-
18. ered an industry standard, has been fielded across large sam-
ples of diverse occupations in multiple countries. It is com-
posed of three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, cynicism (or
depersonalization), and personal accomplishment (or profes-
sional efficacy). The 16-item General MBI survey uses the
terms cynicism and personal accomplishment while the 22-
item Health Services Personnel survey uses the analogous
terms depersonalization and professional efficacy, with results

MBI instruments require a
license fee to administer.
The self-defined burnout measure is one of the ten survey
questions on the BMini-Z^ work experience instrument devel-
oped by Linzer and colleagues.
19. 10
The item originated from a
study of burnout in HMOs
11
and has subsequently been in-
cluded in several major studies.
7, 12–14 It is free to use.
Estimates of Clinicians and Staff Burnout
The most recent national estimate of burnout from MBI sub-
scales identified high emotional exhaustion among 46.9% of
physicians and high cynicism among 34.6% of physicians,
with 54.4% of physicians reporting one or both symptoms.
Primary care physicians from that study reported even higher
burnout levels; more than 60% expressed high emotional
exhaustion and/or cynicism.
15
Other studies indicate burnout
is also high among healthcare staff, with high emotional
exhaustion ranging from 30 to 40%.
16, 17 However, studies
using the self-defined burnout measure have found lower point
estimates: about one in four family physicians and general
internists report Bburning out,^ Bpersistent burnout
symptoms,^ or Bcomplete burnout.^
7, 12, 18 These divergent
20. estimates of burnout prevalence raise questions as to whether
study populations differ in their well-being, or how MBI and
self-defined measures perform differently.
Published Comparisons of Burnout Measures
Few studies directly compare how the MBI and self-
defined burnout measures perform in the same sample of
physicians. One physician survey found the self-defined
burnout measure strongly correlated with the MBI emo-
tional exhaustion subscale (r = 0.64, p < 0.0001); the cyni-
cism subscale was less strongly correlated (r = 0.324, p
value not reported).
18
A second study of Australian oncol-
ogy workers also found the self-defined burnout measure
and MBI emotional exhaustion subscale strongly correlated
(r = 0.68, p < 0.0001).
19
Only one study used an analytic
approach other than correlations. That study, a survey of
rural physicians and advance practice clinicians, examined
whether the self-defined burnout measure predicted high
and low MBI subscale burnout categories using multivar-
iate linear mixed models. The self-defined burnout measure
significantly predicted high emotional exhaustion but did
not predict low emotional exhaustion or any category of
cynicism.
20
Prior studies have also analyzed sensitivity and speci-
21. ficity for MBI single-item measures (one item from each
MBI subscale’s five items). A correlation of 0.76–0.83
was found for the MBI emotional exhaustion single-item
vs. subscale. A correlation of 0.61–0.72 was found for the
MBI cynicism single-item vs. subscale.
21
Compared to the
self-defined burnout single-item, the MBI emotional ex-
haustion single-item had a high correlation (r = 0.79) and
sensitivity and specificity over 80%.
17
These results suggest that the single-item self-defined burn-
out measure and MBI subscales have strong agreement. How-
ever, no comparison to our knowledge has described sensitiv-
ity and specificity for the self-defined burnout measure and
MBI subscales. Moreover, we are not aware of any previous
study examining concurrent validity of the self-defined and
MBI responses with related, validated work environment
measures. Given many national surveillance efforts and pro-
gram evaluations using the self-defined burnout measure,
there is need for greater understanding among policy makers,
researchers, and healthcare leaders on how results compare
with the more established MBI burnout subscales.
OBJECTIVE
We compared the self-defined burnout measure and MBI in
the same sample of primary care clinicians and staff. Our aims
were to (1) compare the prevalence of burnout from the
different measures, (2) test the sensitivity and specificity of
the self-defined burnout measure to identify individuals expe-
riencing high burnout compared to standardMBI benchmarks,
22. and (3) determine if the self-defined burnout measure andMBI
have similar associations with a clinic team culture survey
measure previously found to be significantly associated with
MBI scores
22
and a workplace atmosphere survey measure
previously found to be significantly associated with the self-
defined burnout measure.
23
METHODS
Design
This study was a cross-sectional survey, approved by the
Institutional Review Board of the University of California,
San Francisco (protocol numbers 11-08048 and 17-23324).
Participants
We surveyed clinicians and staff working in primary care
clinics in three San Francisco area health systems: a
university-run clinic network, a network of neighborhood
and hospital-based clinics administered by a county health
department, and a large private medical group. All clinicians
and staff at the university and county clinics and all clinicians
at the private group were eligible to participate. Clinicians
consist of physicians of family and internal medicine, physi-
cian assistants, and nurse practitioners. Staff members include
registered nurses, medical assistants, and administrative sup-
port. The survey was fielded between November 2016 and
January 2017, and was primarily administered electronically.
Each person received an e-mail invitation to complete the
23. survey, with up to five reminder e-mails to non-respondents.
Paper surveys were administered during staff meetings at
some county health network sites based on leadership request.
Respondents at two systems were entered into a $25 gift card
1345Knox et al.: Clinician and Staff Burnout MeasuresJGIM
raffle; the third system elected to give each respondent $50 for
participation.
Measures
The survey included the 16-item MBI General Survey sub-
scales for emotional exhaustion and cynicism as well as a
single-item, self-defined burnout measure. MBI subscales
were each composed of five burnout symptoms. Respondents
rated how often they experience each symptom from 0 (never)
to 6 (every day), and responses were summed for each sub-
scale (composite score of 0–30 points). High, medium, and
lowMBI burnout cut points were based on a distribution of the
composite score into terciles from a reference population.
24
High emotional exhaustion was defined as a composite score
greater than or equal to 16; high cynicism was a composite
score greater than or equal to 11.
9
We primarily analyzed MBI
scores based on the presence of high emotional exhaustion or
high cynicism, as done in commonly cited national prevalence
estimates.
24. 15, 25
Self-defined burnout was a single question that assessed
burnout on a scale from 1 to 5.Most studies using this measure
define high burnout as answering positively to option 3, 4, or
5.
7, 12 Response options were as follows: (1) BI enjoymywork.
I have no symptoms of burnout^; (2) BOccasionally I am under
stress, and I don’t always have as much energy as I once did,
but I don’t feel burned out^; (3) BI am definitely burning out
and have one or more symptoms of burnout, such as physical
and emotional exhaustion^; (4) BThe symptoms of burnout
that I’m experiencing won’t go away. I think about work
frustrations a lot^; and (5) BI feel completely burned out and
often wonder if I can go on. I am at the point where I may need
some changes or may need to seek some sort of help.^
The survey also included a validated 7-item measure of
team culture previously found to be associated with the
MBI. Team culture included agreement with statements such
as, BThe group of staff and providers I work with most
regularly work well together as a team^ and BI can rely on
other people at my clinic to do their jobs well.^ Respondents
rated each item from 1 (strongly disagree) to 10 (strongly
agree). A composite score was calculated as an average across
the seven items.
22
Workplace atmosphere was assessed on a
scale from 1 to 5 in response to: BWhich number best describes
the atmosphere in your primary work area?^ Response
anchors included 1 (calm), 3 (busy but reasonable), and 5
(hectic, chaotic).
25. 10, 23
Data Analysis
All analyses were conducted using Stata 13
26
and stratified by
clinician or staff respondent. We stratified clinician and staff
analyses to be consistent with other reportings
14
and based on
prior findings of differences in burnout between clinicians and
staff.
22
We also conducted sub-analyses by gender and part-
time work status to confirm whether results were consistent.
Correlations for comparing our results with other studies were
calculated using Pearson’s correlation coefficients to measure
the association between the self-defined measure with the
MBI emotional exhaustion and MBI cynicism subscales.
17,
19, 27
We used a self-defined burnout cut point of 3 (definitely
burning out) or above to test sensitivity and specificity for
detecting respondents with high burnout compared to standard
MBI classification. We also explored cut points of 2 (under
26. stress) and 4 (persistent symptoms) to assess sensitivity and
specificity trade-offs and produced area under receiver opera-
tor curves (AUC). An AUC of 1.0 indicates a perfect diagnos-
tic test; above 0.9 indicates excellent discrimination; 0.8–0.9 is
good; 0.7–0.8 is fair; and 0.5–0.7 is non-discriminating to poor
discrimination.

We assessed concurrent validity by calculating the propor-
tion of burned out and not burned out respondents for both the
self-defined and MBI measures in connection with (1) strong
team culture and (2) hectic or chaotic work atmosphere. Un-
adjusted odds ratios were calculated to compare associations
across the two burnout measures.
RESULTS
29. The response rate was 74%. Four hundred forty-four of 592
clinicians and 606 of 826 staff responded. Respondents were
predominantly female (Table 1). About half had worked with
their health system more than 10 years. Almost all staff (90%)
worked more than 20 h a week while fewer clinicians (27%)
worked six or more half-days in clinic.
High burnout based on the MBI—high emotional
exhaustion or high cynicism—was reported by 52% of
clinicians (95% CI: 47–57%) and 46% of staff (95% CI:
42–50%). Burnout levels for emotional exhaustion and
cynicism subscales individually are reported in Table 1.
High self-defined burnout based on a score of 3
(Bdefinitely burning out^) or greater was reported by
29% of clinicians (95% CI: 25–33%) and 31% of staff
(95% CI: 28–35%). The lower proportion of self-defined
burnout was statistically significant among both clini-
cians and staff compared to the overall MBI measure
and MBI emotional exhaustion subscale (McNemar’s
test, p < 0.001) but not compared to the MBI cynicism
subscale (Fig. 1).
The correlation between the self-defined burnout measure
and MBI exhaustion subscale was 0.63 for both clinicians and
staff (p value < 0.001). The correlation between the self-
defined burnout measure and MBI cynicism subscale was
0.57 for clinicians and 0.48 for staff (p value < 0.001).
Using the common cut point of 3 or greater for self-defined
burnout, sensitivity was 50.4% among clinicians and 58.6%
among staff—i.e., the proportion of respondents with MBI-
assessed burnout whose self-defined response also identifies
burnout. Specificity—the proportion of respondents without
MBI-assessed burnout who also did not report self-defined
burnout—was 94.7% for clinicians and 92.3% for staff. A
30. higher cut point of 4 on the self-defined burnout measure
dropped sensitivity to 11.5% among clinicians and 24.3%
Figure 1 High burnout based on MBI subscales and the self-
defined burnout measure.
1347Knox et al.: Clinician and Staff Burnout MeasuresJGIM
among staff and increased specificity to 100% for clinicians
and 98.1% for staff. A lower cut point of 2 greatly increased
sensitivity to 98.2% among clinicians and 91.4% among staff,
however decreased specificity to 41.8% for clinicians and
44.4% for staff (Table 2). The AUC was 0.82 for clinicians
and 0.81 for staff (Fig. 2). Additional sensitivity, specificity,
and AUC estimates for the individual MBI emotional exhaus-
tion and cynicism subscales are provided as an online appen-
dix. Sub-analyses stratified by gender and clinician half-days
per week yielded similar results.
In an assessment of concurrent validity, strong team culture
was significantly associated with lower burnout for both the
MBI (clinician OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.23–0.51) and self-defined
burnout (clinician OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.22–0.51). A hectic or
chaotic environment was significantly associated with greater
burnout for both the MBI (clinician OR 3.56, 95% CI 2.36–
5.36) and self-defined burnout measure (clinician OR 3.07,
95% CI 1.99–4.72) (Table 3).
DISCUSSION
The most important finding from our study is that the preva-
lence of burnout among primary care clinicians and staff
differed considerably depending on survey instrument. For
example, burnout prevalence among clinicians was more than
31. 50% higher using the MBI compared to the self-defined
measure’s cut point of 3 (52 vs. 29%). Similarly, the self-
defined measure’s sensitivity to detect individuals with burn-
out in our sample missed about 50% of clinicians and 41% of
staff that MBI symptoms had classified as experiencing burn-
out. A lower self-defined cut point of 2 increased sensitivity to
above 90%, but at the expense of substantially decreased
specificity. One explanation for the lower self-defined burnout
point estimate may be reluctance to self-identify as burned out
given an allusion to depression or ineffectiveness. In contrast,
theMBI allows individuals to identify with burnout symptoms
without directly identifying as burned out.
Consistent with other studies, we found a strong, significant
correlation between self-defined burnout and the MBI exhaus-
tion subscale and a modest, significant correlation between
self-defined burnout and the MBI cynicism subscale. Our
analyses add to prior studies by reporting an AUC of 0.81–
0.82, indicating moderate to good discrimination between the
self-defined burnout measure and MBI.
29, 30
Our results are also the first to demonstrate concurrent
validity for both burnout measures in association with team
culture, which had only been examined with the MBI,
22
and
workplace atmosphere, which had only been examined with
the self-defined measure.
10, 23 Strong team culture was signif-
icantly associated with about one-third lower burnout for both
32. burnout measures. A chaotic workplace atmosphere was sig-
nificantly associated with about three times higher burnout for
both burnout measures. The similar magnitude and variance of

associations for both burnout measures suggests that the two
burnout measures would perform similarly when exploring
other burnout predictors.
Our findings have implications for using and inter-
33. preting the self-defined and MBI burnout measures. The
self-defined burnout measure appears to be an accept-
able alternative to the MBI if primary aims are to track
burnout trends within a single population or measure
work environment factors that predict burnout. However,
our results indicate it would be inappropriate to directly
contrast high burnout estimates from the self-defined
measures and MBI subscale measures.
Researchers and health system leaders should use
caution when comparing burnout prevalence across dif-
ferent populations or studies. For example, a recently
published study using the self-defined measure conclud-
ed that physician burnout may be decreasing in the
USA.
7
Differences may actually be due to the measure-
ment instrument used and the self-defined measure’s low
sensitivity relative to the MBI.
The National Academy of Medicine notes, B[Burnout]
terminology and measurement tools used vary substan-
tially across studies…hampering efforts to quantitatively
summarize outcomes (for example through meta-analy-
ses), and slowing the rate of advancement in the field.^
1
Similar to other researchers who have identified need
for greater consistency in defining and reporting burn-
out,
31, 32 our study underlines these challenges to com-
pare and pool findings across studies when different
34. burnout measures are used.
The self-defined burnout measure has several attrac-
tive qualities. It does not require a license fee, has low
response burden, and may have more face validity to
healthcare workers than a multi-item scale score.
24
One
drawback of the self-defined burnout measure is limited
validity testing in contrast to MBI measures, which have
been associated with outcomes such as clinical diagnosis
of depression.
33
Our study also demonstrates the limita-
tions due to the ordinal nature of the self-defined mea-
sure. Forty to fifty percent of respondents in our sample
selected the level 2 category, a skewed response that
creates a large step-off effect. Consequently, the self-
defined cut point cannot be smoothly titrated to achieve
an optimal balance of sensitivity and specificity relative
to the MBI (Fig. 2). This aspect of the self-defined
measure may also reduce its predictive and discriminant
utility when analyzing burnout gradients rather than yes/
no classifications.
Our study has several limitations. First, we studied
clinicians and staff in three large health systems in a
single region, which may limit generalizability. Yet
burnout prevalence in our sample was similar to national
samples of family physicians and general internists,
35. 7, 15
suggesting that respondents’ work experience resembles
that of other settings. Second, our sample had a high
proport ion of women and part- t ime clinicians.
Sensitivity/specificity sub-analyses stratified by gender
and sessions per week did not meaningfully differ from
the full sample. Third, as with any survey, response bias
may influence the validity of the results. Our response
rate of 74% is much higher than for most surveys of
healthcare workers, mitigating potential non-response bi-
as. Last, our study relied on survey measures of burnout

and did not assess well-being with direct observation or
qualitative methods.
The self-defined burnout measure and MBI each have
advantages and disadvantages. We do not conclude from
40. our study that there is necessarily a preferred burnout
survey instrument. However, researchers and health sys-
tem leaders addressing burnout must be aware of the
measures’ different properties and lack of equivalency
for assessing burnout prevalence. We recommend that
organizations such as the National Academy of Medicine
and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality take the
lead in developing and promoting national guidelines that
establish greater consistency across burnout survey
efforts. The commitment by the American Academy of
Family Physician to offer members free MBI survey
access is one example of constructive action by a nation-
al organization.
34
Greater consistency and clarity in
reporting how burnout is defined is essential to support
meaningful comparisons across health systems and to
enhance understanding of burnout consequences and
interventions.
