Organizational Effectiveness (continued)
CH 2Discussion Question I due, and discussed in class (Turn in hard copy):
Some people would argue that Google, Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Lincoln Electric, & Wegman’s Groceries are among the “Best Places to Work”, and are also examples of “World Class” (Most Effective) organizations in their various industries. (Some of these companies are on Fortune’s “Best Places to Work” list, but not all of them participate in that survey. http://fortune.com/best-companies/ )
a. Do you agree or disagree that these are “World Class” organizations in their respective industries? WHY?
b. What evidence would you cite to support your evaluation? (Be sure to search beyond the Fortune website.)
c. If somebody had given you 100 shares of each company’s stock when you graduated from High School (WOW!!!! #**@[email protected]#$$$ CA CHING!) would you be happy with the stock’s performance (gain or loss) today. Look up and report what your net gain would have been on each stock. (Note Wegman’s Groceries is not publically traded, so you cannot answer that question for them.)
d. How much would you like to work for each of these companies? Use a 1 – 5 scale where 1 = Would dislike this company & 5 = Would very much like to work for this company.

Exam 2 Summer 2015
Please answer the following questions thoroughly and concisely. All questions should be answerable in no more than four typed, 1.5-spaced pages.
1. (70 points) Medio Nusquam Hospital is a small, 150 bed hospital in rural Oklahoma. Despite being small, they have been able to attract some fairly good physicians and are able to service a wide array of areas including oncology, pediatrics, emergency, limited ICU, OB/GYN, and a small, walk-in clinic. For several specializations, such as neurology, they must send patients to providers in larger cities. Recently, and fortunately for the residents of Medio Nusquam and the surrounding area, the hospital has been purchased by a corporate, for-profit hospital (Magnus Sanitatem, Inc.) that wishes to use it a launching pad for a rural health initiative using healthcare telematics. Use what you know about Enterprise Architecture to develop both an ‘As-is’ and a ‘To-be’ enterprise architecture for this effort. By ‘As-is’ is meant the potential EA that Medio Nusquam Hosptial currently has. By ‘To-be’ is meant the EA that they wish to have as a division of Magnus Sanitatem. Keep in mind that the goal of Magnus Sanitatem is to reach under- and un-served populations in the surrounding areas as well as provide new and expanded services within Medio Nusquam without increasing its number of physicians by any significant amount. Be sure to narratively and diagrammatically describe both architectures. Discuss the gap that exists between the As-is and To-be EAs and what needs to be done to bridge that gap.
2. (30 points) Defend or refute the following statement:
“Healthcare telematics will decrease costs, increase quality, and improve the overall health of the nation.”
Take a stand. Use the context of Public Health and the legal and regulatory environment for your argument.

Professional Ethics
Humanistic Values
Organizational development (OD) practitioners traditionally encouraged having valued human beings, open communications, employment involvement, and personal growth. These values emerged at the end of World War II on both sides of the Atlantic. They were strengthened by early experiments in British coal mines and studies carried out in a plant in Illinois. These studies demonstrated that paying attention to workers improved productivity. Numerous studies that followed have demonstrated again and again that people do matter and are quite capable. When redesigning organizations, it is wise to use these early lessons as well as research performed by behavioral economists.
Helping Relationships
Helping can take on numerous forms and carries personal responsibility. The responsibilities for an OD consultant working on team building may be different from those of one working on organizational redesign, but they have many of the same issues with which to contend. Both can have a major impact not only on productivity and efficiency but on people’s lives as well.
As previously mentioned, organizational development practitioners are members of the helping profession and like the other helping professions, they have a professional code of ethics because their work has direct ethical implications on individuals, organizations, and society.
Ethical Dilemmas
Though having and following an ethical code can prevent problems, OD practitioners do encounter ethical dilemmas in their work. As with most ethical problems that emerge, individuals and organizations do not start out wanting to be unethical; they generally just slide into unethical behavior because they do not stop and reflect, or are in a big hurry to accomplish something or get specific results.
Value Conflict and Misplaced Interest
Not taking the time to adequately address value differences, taking shortcuts, misusing data, using coercion to save time or money, and misrepresenting skills or knowledge are major causes of ethical misdeeds and corporate failures. Taking the time to be ethical is good business not only for the OD practitioner but for the entire organization
Organizational Diagnosis
Before taking action, it is necessary to understand the situation. Organizational diagnosis is the process the consultant goes through to understand the current situation and includes the following:
· Determining an appropriate diagnostic strategy
· Gathering data through review of important organizational documents
· Developing an interview and research protocol
· Data gathering including conducting interviews
· Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data
· Assessment of information
· Discussing potential options with key organizational leaders and stakeholders to determine what is to be done and how to implement an intervention
An organizational diagnosis needs to be done before beginning.

Ryan,
Inadequate levels of nursing professionals were first discussed more than 80 years ago (Whelan, n.d.). Recently, scholars have opined many reasons for the shortage of nurses. Factors such as work stress, burnout, violence against healthcare professionals, a lack of qualified nursing instructors, and nurses unable to adapt to changing technology or clinical environments have been addressed (Haddad & Toney-Butler, 2019). As many nurses may attest, doing more with less can lead to mistakes and dissatisfaction with a nursing career. Ultimately, patient care suffers.
Organizations employ various tactics to help strengthen nurse retention. Halter et al. (2017) suggest strong nursing leadership and assigning preceptors to new nurses can help minimize nursing resignation rates. At the writer’s employment, hospital administrators use several ways to retain nurses. Each quarter, a nurse is recognized for outstanding achievement by receiving a certificate, gift card, and editorial mention on the hospital’s intranet. Moreover, the hospital caters lunch for all employees, dayside and nighttime staff, twice a year for meeting quality targets. Also, the hospital uses various national celebration days such as ice cream, donuts, coffee, bagels, and candy to reward all employees. Creating a level of goodwill and institutional collaboration can help retain nurses and improve job satisfaction (Kurnat-Thoma et al., 2017).

The Relevance Enneagram
Does That.
It is difficult to objectively evaluate if a company will be a winner or not. Interviews, financial analysis and business plans are not enough anymore to guarantee a successful investment.
The solution is to go from subjective to objective measures.
This report measures 2 key elements in a objective way:
- Scalability of the business.
- Ability to deliver innovation consistently.
This is based on a database of several thousand companies and 4 years of research. The results that follow are compared against this research database.

For this assignment, begin by reading chapters 12-15 in Dr. Bells t.docxalfred4lewis58146
For this assignment, begin by reading chapters 12-15 in Dr. Bell's text. Then, consider and respond to the following questions.
The SALT talks accomplished little, but it was important to keep both parties talking. Does the evidence of the 1970s and 1980s support this thesis? Support your opinion with at least three examples.
Critics of "Star Wars" argued that an effective nuclear defense shield would have increased the dangers of nuclear war. How so?
During much of the 1970s, the Soviets became increasingly dependent on US grain in order to feed their people. These exports were popular with American farmers, but played a more ambiguous role in American efforts to control the Soviets. If you had been a presidential advisor for Presidents Ford and Carter, what economic strategy would you have recommended?
The Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan has been described as the Soviets’ Vietnam. Discuss at least three similarities and one dissimilarity between these conflicts.

For this assignment, assume you are the new Secretary of Homeland Security. You are drafting a Policy Document referred to as a “White Paper” for the Biden Administration to highlight the impact of open/closed borders in the age of COVID-19 on migration, asylum seekers, and economic recovery. In this white paper, consider the following to frame your paper.
Define what YOU believe an “OPEN” vs “CLOSED” border means especially when dealing with those seeking asylum. Reminder that you can provide your opinion without using “I think” or something similar.
How do you believe illegal migrants can be treated humanely and with dignity/inclusion?
How does an “open” vs a “closed” border impact the United States economy?
What are your recommendations for the next 12-24 months on specific steps that the new administration needs to take?
DO NOT answer this as if it is a four Question Exam. This is a WHITE PAPER and is a single narrative framed by these questions, but do NOT use first person (I statements).

For this assignment, analyze the play by focusing on
one
of the following characters: Cassio, Desdemona, Othello, or Iago. Explore the motives, emotions and circumstances of the character you choose, and his or her relationships with all the other significant characters in the play. Try to give your reader a good sense of why things play out as they do. Each of these characters has significant interactions with all the others, and you will end up discussing them all no matter which one you choose to focus on. But try to explain what happens in
Othello
by following the trajectory of a single character throughout the entire play. As always, use short but effective quotations from the play to point out significant words and actions, but focus mainly on your explanations of what the words and deeds mean and why we should agree with your analysis.

ou will need to respond to 7
of the questions
provided (bellow). Each answer should be around
200 words
. Your answers should provide evidence of engagement with and understanding of the key concepts about identity, alienation, rationality, and power.
Your answers should be expressed in academic English.
You will not be able to use direct quotations from the readings or lecture material.
Explain concepts in your own words; if you cannot clearly explain an idea/concept in your own words, you probably haven’t yet fully grasped its meaning.
To what extent can identities be said to be "integral" to a person (i.e. is a particular identity an essential feature of who you are)?
When thinking sociologically about identity, subject positions are associated with roles learned through socialisation. Explain how individuals learn those roles through socialisation?
According to Benedict Andersen the nation is a cultural artefact and an imagined community. What did he mean by this and what are key means through which the nation is imagined?
Marx described “alienation” as an outcome of capitalist economic relations. Sociologists have since expanded the concept to think about how it might relate to other social processes (i.e. “social alienation”). In what other ways might we be said to experience alienation in society?
Gramsci understood hegemony as a form of rule in which subordinate groups consent to the exercise of power or domination. According to Gramsci how does hegemony operate in capitalist societies?
Weber saw rationalisation as an “iron cage” that increasingly dominated all social life. Discuss how rationalisation shapes higher education.
According to Marxists how do relationships of power operate in capitalist societies?
According to Foucault how does modern disciplinary power differ from traditional sovereign power? (e.g. as exercised by monarchs, kings and emperors)

For the sake of argument (this essay in particular), lets prete.docxalfred4lewis58146
For the sake of argument (this essay in particular), let's pretend that
Sophia (Links to an external site.)
has discovered a fundamental truth about our concept of the soul: that it is, as she defined it,
the mind's essence
.For this essay, I'd like you to first take a deep dive into
defining
and
elaborating
on what that might mean
(to Sophia, then, as a consequence, to humanity) Then, I'd like you to take into consideration the technologies that have had the greatest impact on how the soul-as-mind's-essence idea expresses itself in our era. Can we have a "virtual afterlife"? A "digital soul"? Can we beat death? If we create nonbiological entities into which we put our identities, and, thus, that entity "thinks" and "feels" like it is "you," well, to what degree can we say that it is "you" and that it is a contemporary version of how Sophia defines the soul? Furthermore, do you think that is what Sophia means--a digital simulacrum of the self? I am hoping you consider how our civilization's ideas are profoundly influenced by our technological world, and that these philosophical questions only exist in the first place because we have invented tools that inevitably create problems for and probe into the most sacred spaces of human identity.
This essay should be 4.5 pages minimum and, as usual, MLA format.

For the project, you will be expected to apply the key concepts of program evaluation to conduct a comprehensive evaluation, using quantitative and qualitative methods, of a health behavior change intervention among residents of a rural or underserved community. Essentially, you will develop, implement and evaluate a small-scale health behavior change intervention among 5-10 individuals residing in a rural or underserved community. You will be asked to choose a specific health behavior (e.g. healthy eating, physical activity, stress management, getting adequate sleep, increased water consumption, following dental hygiene recommendations, reducing distracted driving, etc.) that you can feasibly promote for a duration of two weeks. You may ask family members, friends, co-workers, neighbors or other individuals who you interact with on a regular basis to participate in your intervention as long they reside in a rural or underserved community. The intervention may occur via social media (e.g. posting health education messages on a Facebook page and/or facilitating discussion of health behavior among participants on Facebook), print media, email interaction, phone conversations, text messages, or in person; you may also employ a combination of these techniques. The focus of this project will be on the evaluation of the intervention. You will be expected to identify which evaluation questions you will be exploring, use both quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data, and analyze and interpret your qualitative data. You will be required to submit all of your data as well as expound on the development, implementation and evaluation of your health behavior change intervention in a paper.
