Quality Analysis
Select a well-known company and a product or service that is produced by that company (be sure to avoid products that are simply purchased by the company and sold to the company's customers, which is often the case at many retail stores).
In a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document, respond to the following:
· Provide a brief description of the company that you have selected and the product or service that you are analyzing.
· Discuss what quality means for this product.
· Perform a SWOT analysis of the organization.
· Select a method for focusing the organization's attention on quality.
· Explain what elements of a quality culture are lacking (and needed) by the organization.
· Identify who the customers of the organization are (remember to consider whether there could be internal customers in addition to external customers, although this will not be the case with every organization).
· Recommend a method of implementing changes that are needed based on the needs of the customer.
· Recommend potential strategic alliances that can improve quality for the organization.
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.

Assignment 2: Internal Environmental Scan/Organizational Assessment
This section provides the opportunity to develop your course project. Conducting an internal environmental scan or organizational assessment, provides the ability to put the strategic audit together.
In this course so far you have conducted the following steps toward completing the capstone strategic audit:
Identified the organization for your report
Interviewed key mid-level and senior level managers
Created a market position analysis
Conducted an external environmental scan in preparation of your final report and presentation
Prepared a preliminary strategic audit
In this module you will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the internal environment at your business unit or organization you are working with for this project, also known as an organizational assessment, and present your findings in a report. Your report should analyze the operating characteristics and assets of your business unit and categorize them as strengths or weaknesses in terms of enabling the business strategy (these will be inputs into a final SWOT analysis).
The internal environmental scan or organizational assessment should include the following:
Mission, Vision, and Values:
Assess the organization’s understanding of the mission, vision, and values, and how they relate the business strategy. Is there consensus on the mission and vision of the organization? What are the shared values of the organization? What are the behaviors espoused by these values?
Strategy Clarification:
Assess the organization’s understanding of the business strategy through interviews with mid-level and senior managers. Assess their understanding and agreement of the business unit’s value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage (these are inputs from
M5: Assignment 1
).
Cultural Assessment:
Explain the unwritten rules and shared values that govern behaviors in the organization. Do they act as enablers or blockers to the strategy? For example, is there a culture of information sharing and collaboration that enables the organization to respond quickly across structural boundaries to solve problems for customers? On the other hand, do groups not share important information through informal mechanisms, thus slowing response times?
Value Chain Analysis:
Identify the primary (direct) and support (indirect) activities that create and deliver your product or service to your customers. Assess each activity’s contribution to competitive advantage through cost or differentiation. Identify any areas where the business may be at a competitive disadvantage.
Summary of Findings:
Using these different analyses, identify the organizational strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the business strategy. Organizational strengths are assets, capabilities, and resources that contribute directly to the organization’s strategic fit, differenti.

· The 4 to 5-page limit refers to your analysis. The page limit do.docxalinainglis
· The 4 to 5-page limit refers to your analysis. The page limit does not include the reference page, the 5-forces diagram, nor a title page. If you prepare any supporting analysis that can be shown in an appendix page. So, you have 4 to 5 pages available for your written analysis.
· Introducing and describing the company (what it does, key products, markets, distribution) and the industry (key competitors, market size) should be succinct, no more than a half a page. Dedicate approximately 1/2 page introducing the company and it's industry. Beyond that don't spend much time or space describing basic info about the company. For example, providing the history of the company is not relevant to the model.
· The bulk of your writing should be specific to the model as it applies to your company, evaluating each of the five forces thoroughly. Assume the reader is a business person who has a basic knowledge of the company/industry.
· Your analysis should inform the reader of those aspects of the business and industry relevant to each of the five forces. For example, if sales figures are needed to establish the company's position in their industry, use that information in the industry competitors (rivalry) force.
· Use outside references. Key analysis points are to be referenced. As master’s-level business students it is expected that you will utilize sources beyond the company website, the Porter article itself, and sites like yahoo finance. You can use these sites but are strongly advised to not limit yourself to them.
· Thoroughly analyze each of the five forces. The Porter article gives you criteria and examples for each force that can be investigated as you prepare your analysis. Pick two or three for each force and use these to guide your paper.
· The 1-page model should be prepared after you complete your paper. It is nothing more than a visual, concise representation of your analysis. It does not have to be fancy. It does have to be clear and represent your analysis. Use exhibit 2.7 or the model in the Porter paper as your guide. Label each force as high or low, based on your analysis. Insert three to four (max) key bullet points related to each force into the five boxes in the model.
· Proofread your paper. Spelling, grammar, and APA.

IT 550 Final Project Milestone One:
Organizational Profile Guidelines and Rubric
Remember: Your final project is the creation of an information technology strategic plan (ITSP). This plan is broken up into three milestone assignments that you
will be working on throughout the course: an organizational profile (the focus of this assignment), an IT department SWOT analysis, and a document of strategic
IT initiatives based on a case study that you will select below. These assignments should be tackled from the perspective that you are your department’s IT
director.
To begin this assignment, you must first choose and purchase one of the following case studies from http://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/access/72858827:
Strategic IT Transformation at Accenture
Peak Experiences and Strategic IT Alignment at Vermont Teddy Bear

The case study you select here will be the focus of your final project throughout the course.
For this milestone, you will submit an organizational profile on your chosen organization. This organizational profile should give a brief overview of the company
you choose from an enterprise level and then start to focus on the IT department of that company. Below, you will see an outline of critical elements that must
be addressed.
The critical elements highlighted in yellow represent the critical elements that you should answer from the perspective of the company as a whole, from the
enterprise level. The critical elements highlighted in blue, and all of the subsequent milestone assignments, will focus on the IT department at your company of
choice.
Make sure that you craft a vision and mission statement for your IT department that is different from your company’s enterprise-level vision and mission
statements but that aligns with the greater company as a whole.
Feedback should be incorporated into the final project as warranted before final submission.

BUS 6109 Managerial Accounting
Semester Project: Company Financial Analysis
Project Overview: Each of you will act as financial consultants to an “investment firm,” i.e. the professor, and will choose a publicly traded company to become experts in.
You will need to let me know your choice of company as I need to make sure there is no duplication of efforts. We also have to evaluate whether the financial analysis is doable. Public companies tend to be easier to do research on than private ones.
Final choices need to be made by the second week of class. Seven weeks is all you have to complete this analysis and it goes by very quickly.
The goal of the project will be to provide a well-researched and supported financial analysis of your assigned company. You will have to perform this analysis in comparison to at least one other competitor’s performance in its industry for it to be meaningful.
At the end of the of the semester you must submit a written analysis and defend your investment recommendations.
The basic question which needs to be answered is: Would you invest money in this stock? Why or why not?
While there is no ‘right’ answer to this project, each analysis will be graded based on the thoroughness of your research, demonstration of your understanding of the company’s financial health, application of course concepts, creativity, and, most importantly, the quality of your final recommendations.
Recommendations should be logically presented in order to persuade your client to invest (or not invest) in your company of choice
Grading: First and foremost, take the time to ensure that your paper is grammatically correct.
At this level of academia, it is expected that you are able to write succinctly, accurately, and can construct and defend logical arguments.
To encourage concise writing your final paper should not be more than a dozen or so pages in length.
Please use double spacing and 1 inch margins (left, right, top and bottom).
You can provide images/graphs/charts and calculations in an appendix which will not be counted as subject to the page limitation described just above.
Your final report is due on the last day of class and should be sent to me via email.

Acc205 principles of accounting week 5 final paper financial statement analysiscoursesexams1
The document provides instructions for a final paper assignment for an accounting course. Students must write a 5-7 page financial statement analysis of a public company. The paper should include sections on company overview, horizontal analysis of financial statements, ratio analysis, and a recommendation for investors. Calculations and analysis of financial ratios and statements are required to assess the financial health of the chosen company.
Assignment 2: Internal Environmental Scan/Organizational Assessment
This section provides the opportunity to develop your course project. Conducting an internal environmental scan or organizational assessment, provides the ability to put the strategy audit together.
In this module, you will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the internal environment at your business unit or organization you are working with for this project, also known as an organizational assessment, and present your findings in a report. In your report, you should analyze the operating characteristics and assets of your business unit.
The SWOT model is one of the most common business tools used during organizational assessment. Another is developing a balanced scorecard based on a prescribed or planned set of performance objectives that will be measured and evaluated regularly. In this assignment, based on the external environmental scan you conducted in M2: Assignment 2 and the internal environmental scan in this assignment, you will develop a SWOT analysis and a balanced strategic scorecard.
Part I: Internal Environmental Scan (2–3 pages)
The internal environmental scan or organizational assessment should include the following:
· Mission, vision, and values: Assess the organization’s understanding of the mission, vision, and values, and how they relate the business strategy. Is there consensus on the mission and vision of the organization? What are the shared values of the organization? What are the behaviors espoused by these values?
· Strategy clarification: Assess the organization’s understanding of the business strategy through the interview with a mid-level or senior manager. Assess his or her understanding and agreement of the business unit’s value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage.
· Cultural assessment: Explain the unwritten rules and shared values that govern behaviors in the organization. Do they act as enablers or blockers to the strategy? For example, is there a culture of information sharing and collaboration that enables the organization to respond quickly across structural boundaries to solve problems for customers? On the other hand, do groups not share important information through informal mechanisms, thus slowing response times?
· Value chain analysis: Identify the primary (direct) and support (indirect) activities that create and deliver your product or service to your customers. Assess each activity’s contribution to competitive advantage through cost or differentiation. Identify any areas where the business may be at a competitive disadvantage.
· Summary of findings: Using these different analyses, identify the organizational strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the business strategy. Organizational strengths are assets, capabilities, and resources that contribute directly to the organization’s strategic fit, differentiation, and competitive advantage relative to competing organizations. Organizational weaknesses are ch ...

It is often said that people today are no longer loyal to organizations. Yet employees are loyal to their direct supervisor. This discussion question asks you to evaluate and apply your understanding of followership theory. Reflect on any techniques for understanding, achieving, and positively applying organizational and personal power and influence as a follower.
When effective leaders leave an organization to move on to another organization, they often take at least one or two employees. Employees who respect a leader and have generated a relationship and bond want to work under that leader. One indicator of effective leaders is communication skills in which a leader is attuned to the needs of each employee.
REAL-LIFE APPLICATION: Discuss a leader with whom you are familiar and who has the loyalty of his or her direct reports. Alternatively, you might interview a friend or family member about their experiences or you may research a well-known leader. Address the following in your response.
Evaluate how this leader earns respect and loyalty from his or her employees.
If you were in a leadership position, what methods would you implement to inspire, motivate, and empower your employees?
Support your discussion with at least one scholarly article and, if relevant, credible media reports, and cite each source using APA style.

· The 4 to 5-page limit refers to your analysis. The page limit does not include the reference page, the 5-forces diagram, nor a title page. If you prepare any supporting analysis that can be shown in an appendix page. So, you have 4 to 5 pages available for your written analysis.
· Introducing and describing the company (what it does, key products, markets, distribution) and the industry (key competitors, market size) should be succinct, no more than a half a page. Dedicate approximately 1/2 page introducing the company and it's industry. Beyond that don't spend much time or space describing basic info about the company. For example, providing the history of the company is not relevant to the model.
· The bulk of your writing should be specific to the model as it applies to your company, evaluating each of the five forces thoroughly. Assume the reader is a business person who has a basic knowledge of the company/industry.
· Your analysis should inform the reader of those aspects of the business and industry relevant to each of the five forces. For example, if sales figures are needed to establish the company's position in their industry, use that information in the industry competitors (rivalry) force.
· Use outside references. Key analysis points are to be referenced. As master’s-level business students it is expected that you will utilize sources beyond the company website, the Porter article itself, and sites like yahoo finance. You can use these sites but are strongly advised to not limit yourself to them.
· Thoroughly analyze each of the five forces. The Porter article gives you criteria and examples for each force that can be investigated as you prepare your analysis. Pick two or three for each force and use these to guide your paper.
· The 1-page model should be prepared after you complete your paper. It is nothing more than a visual, concise representation of your analysis. It does not have to be fancy. It does have to be clear and represent your analysis. Use exhibit 2.7 or the model in the Porter paper as your guide. Label each force as high or low, based on your analysis. Insert three to four (max) key bullet points related to each force into the five boxes in the model.
· Proofread your paper. Spelling, grammar, and APA.

The paper should include sections on company overview, horizontal analysis of financial statements, ratio analysis, and a recommendation for investors. Calculations and analysis of financial ratios and statements are required to assess the financial health of the chosen company.
Assignment 2: Internal Environmental Scan/Organizational Assessment
This section provides the opportunity to develop your course project. Conducting an internal environmental scan or organizational assessment, provides the ability to put the strategy audit together.
In this module, you will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the internal environment at your business unit or organization you are working with for this project, also known as an organizational assessment, and present your findings in a report. In your report, you should analyze the operating characteristics and assets of your business unit.
The SWOT model is one of the most common business tools used during organizational assessment. Another is developing a balanced scorecard based on a prescribed or planned set of performance objectives that will be measured and evaluated regularly. In this assignment, based on the external environmental scan you conducted in M2: Assignment 2 and the internal environmental scan in this assignment, you will develop a SWOT analysis and a balanced strategic scorecard.
Part I: Internal Environmental Scan (2–3 pages)
The internal environmental scan or organizational assessment should include the following:
· Mission, vision, and values: Assess the organization’s understanding of the mission, vision, and values, and how they relate the business strategy. Is there consensus on the mission and vision of the organization? What are the shared values of the organization? What are the behaviors espoused by these values?
· Strategy clarification: Assess the organization’s understanding of the business strategy through the interview with a mid-level or senior manager. Assess his or her understanding and agreement of the business unit’s value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage.
· Cultural assessment: Explain the unwritten rules and shared values that govern behaviors in the organization. Do they act as enablers or blockers to the strategy? For example, is there a culture of information sharing and collaboration that enables the organization to respond quickly across structural boundaries to solve problems for customers? On the other hand, do groups not share important information through informal mechanisms, thus slowing response times?
· Value chain analysis: Identify the primary (direct) and support (indirect) activities that create and deliver your product or service to your customers. Assess each activity’s contribution to competitive advantage through cost or differentiation. Identify any areas where the business may be at a competitive disadvantage.
· Summary of findings: Using these different analyses, identify the organizational strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the business strategy. Organizational strengths are assets, capabilities, and resources that contribute directly to the organization’s strategic fit, differentiation, and competitive advantage relative to competing organizations. Organizational weaknesses are ch ...

It is often said that people today are no longer loyal to organizations. Yet employees are loyal to their direct supervisor. This discussion question asks you to evaluate and apply your understanding of followership theory. Reflect on any techniques for understanding, achieving, and positively applying organizational and personal power and influence as a follower.
When effective leaders leave an organization to move on to another organization, they often take at least one or two employees. Employees who respect a leader and have generated a relationship and bond want to work under that leader. One indicator of effective leaders is communication skills in which a leader is attuned to the needs of each employee.
REAL-LIFE APPLICATION: Discuss a leader with whom you are familiar and who has the loyalty of his or her direct reports. Alternatively, you might interview a friend or family member about their experiences or you may research a well-known leader. Address the following in your response.
Evaluate how this leader earns respect and loyalty from his or her employees.
If you were in a leadership position, what methods would you implement to inspire, motivate, and empower your employees?
Support your discussion with at least one scholarly article and, if relevant, credible media reports, and cite each source using APA style.

Mrs. Smith was a 73-year-old widow who lived alone with no significant social support. She had been suffering from emphysema for several years and had had frequent hospitalizations for respiratory problems. On the last hospital admission, her pneumonia quickly progressed to organ failure. Death appeared to be imminent, and she went in and out of consciousness, alone in her hospital room. The medical-surgical nursing staff and the nurse manager focused on making Mrs. Smith’s end-of-life period as comfortable as possible. Upon consultation with the vice president for nursing, the nurse manager and the unit staff nurses decided against moving Mrs. Smith to the palliative care unit, although considered more economical, because of the need to protect and nurture her because she was already experiencing signs and symptoms of the dying process. Nurses were prompted by an article they read on human caring as the “language of nursing practice” (Turkel, Ray, & Kornblatt, 2012) in their weekly caring practice meetings.
The nurse manager reorganized patient assignments. She felt that the newly assigned clinical nurse leader who was working between both the medical and surgical units could provide direct nurse caring and coordination at the point of care (Sherman, 2012). Over the next few hours, the clinical nurse leader and a staff member who had volunteered her assistance provided personal care for Mrs. Smith. The clinical nurse leader asked the nurse manager whether there was a possibility that Mrs. Smith had any close friends who could “be there” for her in her final moments. One friend was discovered and came to say goodbye to Mrs. Smith. With help from her team, the clinical nurse leader turned, bathed, and suctioned Mrs. Smith. She spoke quietly, prayed, and sang hymns softly in Mrs. Smith’s room, creating a peaceful environment that expressed compassion and a deep sense of caring for her. The nurse manager and nursing unit staff were calmed and their “hearts awakened” by the personal caring that the clinical nurse leader and the volunteer nurse provided. Mrs. Smith died with caring persons at her bedside, and all members of the unit staff felt comforted that she had not died alone.
Davidson, Ray, and Turkel (2011) note that caring is complex, and caring science includes the art of practice, “an aesthetic which illuminates the beauty of the dynamic nurse-patient relationship, that makes possible authentic spiritual-ethical choices for transformation—healing, health, well-being, and a peaceful death” (p. xxiv). As the clinical nurse leader and the nursing staff in this situation engaged in caring practice that focused on the well-being of the patient, they simultaneously created a caring-healing environment that contributed to the well-being of the whole—the emotional atmosphere of the unit, the ability of the clinical nurse leader and staff nurses to practice caringly and competently, and the qualit.

Include a page header (also known as the "running head") at the top of every page. To create
a page header/running head, insert page numbers flush right. Then type "TITLE OF YOUR
PAPER" in the header flush left using all capital letters. The running head is a shortened
version of your paper's title and cannot exceed 50 characters including spacing and punctuation.
Major Paper Sections
Your essay should include four major sections: The Title Page, Abstract, Main Body,
and References.
Title Page
The title page should contain the title of the paper, the author's name, and the institutional
affiliation. Include the page header (described above) flush left with the page number flush right
at the top of the page. Please note that on the title page, your page header/running head should

Appearance When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my b.docxamrit47
Appearance
When I watched the video of myself, I felt that my black straight skirt, closed toed shoes and white collared shirt gave a professional appearance and more credibility with the audience. My hair was a little too casual. I wished I had that one strand tacked back so it would have stayed out of my eyes. This made it hard for the audience to see my face and was distracting when I had to keep tucking it back. My earrings were small so the audience would watch me and not my jewelry. I wasn’t standing up straight and it made me look less confident. I need to remember to have better posture when speaking.Organizational Pattern
My introduction was slow and clear and the story was suspenseful enough to grab their attention. It was a little confusing at the beginning because I didn’t preview the main points but because I transitioned well between the steps by saying, “Now that you have completed step 1, selecting the pattern, you are ready to move to step two, preparing the wood” the audience was able to follow. I remembered to state my research source for two of the steps but forgot the third. It made the third step seem shallower and I think I lost credibility. My word choice was good. I made sure to use a variety of descriptive words for the types of wood, explained new vocabulary and repeated phrases to help the audience remember the steps. For some reason the ending was weak. I didn’t tie it to the introduction or have a good ending sentence. It would have been a good idea to remind them of the beginning story and how woodworking affects their everyday life.Vocal Qualities
During my speech I had such a dry mouth that I messed up on the pronunciation of some of the words like saying “exspecially” instead of “especially.” This sounded less professional to the audience. I had good projection so that even the back row could hear without straining. My pitch variation is getting better but I still keep using the same rhythm with my pauses. This make me sound more monotone, like I’m reading the speech rather than just having a conversation. I’ll need to practice changing my rate and pauses. I also noticed many of my sentences end in an up-pitch, like I’m asking a question. If I bring some of those down it will make me appear more confident rather than questioning. It is hard to get rid of those filler words. “Like” and “so” are two of my favorites but it does make me sound like a teenager. I had no idea I said them so much.Delivery
There weren’t many gestures, which made me look stiff and nervous. I just held my note cards and stood in one spot the whole time. I need to do more with my hands and maybe move a little more in the space. I really admire the people in class who have such a good flow with their delivery from gestures to using the space around them purposefully. I felt I held my note cards too close to my face and had my head down most of the time. While watching the video, I noticed I looked at my cards and the poster a l.

Don't use

There are different theories of how to make the basic distribution. Among them are:
1. Scope and Role of Distributive Principles
2. Strict Egalitarianism
3. The Difference Principle
4. Equality of Opportunity and Luck Egalitarianism
5. Welfare-Based Principles
6. Desert-Based Principles
7. Libertarian Principles
8. Feminist Principles
There are different theories of how to make the basic distribution. Among them are:
Strict Egalitarianism
One of the simplest principles of distributive justice is that of strict, or radical, equality. The principle says that every person should have the same level of material goods and services. The principle is most commonly justified on the grounds that people are morally equal and that equality in material goods and services is the best way to give effect to this moral ideal.
The Difference Principle
The most widely discussed theory of distributive justice in the past four decades has been that proposed by John Rawls in
A Theory of Justice
, (Rawls 1971), and
Political Liberalism
, (Rawls 1993). Rawls proposes the following two principles of justice:
· 1. Each person has an equal claim to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic rights and liberties, which scheme is compatible with the same scheme for all; and in this scheme the equal political liberties, and only those liberties, are to be guaranteed their fair value.
· 2. Social and economic inequalities are to satisfy two conditions: (a) They are to be attached to positions and offices open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity; and (b), they are to be to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged members of society. (Rawls 1993, pp. 5–6. The principles are numbered as they were in Rawls' original
A Theory of Justice
.)
Equality of Opportunity and Luck Egalitarianism
Dworkin proposed that people begin with equal resources but be allowed to end up with unequal economic benefits as a result of their own choices. What constitutes a just material distribution is to be determined by the result of a thought experiment designed to model fair distribution. Suppose that everyone is given the same purchasing power and each uses that purchasing power to bid, in a fair auction, for resources best suited to their life plans. They are then permitted to use those resources as they see fit. Although people may end up with different economic benefits, none of them is given less consideration than another in the sense that if they wanted somebody else's resource bundle they could have bid for it instead.
In Dworkin's proposal we see his attitudes to ‘ambitions’ and ‘endowments’ which have become a central feature of luck egalitarianism (though under a wide variety of al.

Quality Analysis Select a well-known company and a product or .docx
1. Quality Analysis
Select a well-known company and a product or service that is
produced by that company (be sure to avoid products that are
simply purchased by the company and sold to the company's
customers, which is often the case at many retail stores).
In a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document, respond to the
following:
· Provide a brief description of the company that you have
selected and the product or service that you are analyzing.
· Discuss what quality means for this product.
· Perform a SWOT analysis of the organization.
· Select a method for focusing the organization's attention on
quality.
· Explain what elements of a quality culture are lacking (and
needed) by the organization.
· Identify who the customers of the organization are (remember
to consider whether there could be internal customers in
addition to external customers, although this will not be the
case with every organization).
· Recommend a method of implementing changes that are
needed based on the needs of the customer.
· Recommend potential strategic alliances that can improve
quality for the organization.
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.
