What seat did this team have in the development of your change project plans?

1. You have developed a very robust implementation strategy here.  In relation to reviewing simulation scenarios, how will this be integrated to provide a supportive and effective learning strategy for the students.  You mention that you will have the support of the simulation lab technician, but have you developed strategy or carved out time for debriefing sessions or peer to peer evaluation of the learning events?  I understand you are collecting the data, but this can support a more enhanced experience and improved comprehension for the students, and drive positive data. Thoughts?

2. Although you have focused your change project on building a higher quality program to support nursing skills and clinical practice, what aspects of this change have you approached from quality standpoint?  Were you able to include the organizational quality team as stakeholders to support your change plan development?  They have so many resources on to support skill, quality, and regulatory guidelines.  What seat did this team have in the development of your change project plans?  How will they continue to be involved?

Select a security or criminal justice organization that has been the subject of recent budget cuts or police defunding in your state.  

An organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, challenges, and threats (SWOC/T) must be identified at the beginning of the strategic planning process.

 

You are part of a team of external criminal justice professionals who are tasked with conducting a SWOC/T environmental assessment for a city/organization that has been the subject of budget cuts and/or a defund the police movement, which reduces their overall operating budget by 10%. The contracting organization’s governing board would like a professional environmental and climate assessment report to gauge the impact these budget cuts would have on the organization. They also want to understand how the strategic planning process would be utilized to accommodate these changes.

Review the following examples: Conduct an Environmental Scan and Conduct a SWOT Analysis to assist you with conducting your SWOC/T assessment.

Select a security or criminal justice organization that has been the subject of recent budget cuts or police defunding in your state.

Conduct a SWOC/T assessment that includes the following:

In Module 7, you interacted with content about racial disparities at different stages of the court system. A contemporary issue related to race, ethnicity, and equity in the justice system involves calls for bail/pretrial detention reforms. For this assignment, you are required to identify pros and cons (at least two of each) of bail reform and then take a position on where you stand on this issue and why. Before you begin this assignment, review this interactive article about the pros and cons of bail reform (also consider the relevant video links and optional readings). In your review, pay close attention to what has been referred to as the “New Jersey Model” for pretrial reform that replaces cash bail with a multi-stage review process that combines risk assessment technology with judicial discretion.

Step 1:  Identify at least two pros and two cons of bail/pretrial detention reforms that generally aim to limit or eliminate the use of cash bail and replace it with alternative approaches.

Step 2:  Using the New Jersey Model as a reference, state whether or not you support moving to a similar model in Florida. Make sure you explain your position

What components of a research format are included in this article?

Assignment

  1. Find a research article – mobile technology is preferred, but any technology topic is acceptable. A research effort is usually placed in the context of a “business problem” that can be understood in terms of carefully designed research questions; this allows for maximum research, understanding, and participation in resolving the problem.
  2. Write a six-eight (6-8) page paper that evaluates the research article you found – your paper should be: typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. See hand-outs provided on graduate and APA-style research papers.

The format, typically, contains components such as Title,   Abstract,   Introduction,   Method,   Results,   Future Works, etc. (see example research paper under this week’s   Learning Materials section). The purpose of your assignment this week is for you to examine components of a   research article and to identify guidelines for conducting critical analyses of published works. The knowledge gained here should be applied when completing your Week 3 research writing assignment.  As you complete any writing assignment it is a good idea to proofread your work and use the University Writing Center to help with APA formatting; both will assist in minimizing grammatical errors and improve conducting research writing.

Evaluate criteria – notice what research components (Title, Abstract, Method, etc.) are used in the article you found (see the article ” Guidelines for Evaluating a Research” in this week’s  Learning Materials section)

  1. State the name of the article you found that is being evaluated and who the author(s) is/are.
  2. What is this article about – talk about its context (what is the topic, its purpose, and significance to what/whom).
  3. What components of a research format are included in this article?
  4. How does its format contribute to the purpose of the writing, that is, Research?
  5. Do the author(s) use this format in a way that furthers research – what other component(s), if any, might be helpful to this purpose?

      Discuss – general guidelines for research writing (not necessarily in this order):

  • What makes research writing different than ordinary information/observation writing?
  • Identify and explain major components of a research paper format
  • Why use peer-reviewed journals in research?
  • Why are keywords used in the Abstract and during the Literature Review process?
  • Why use/apply APA basic citation style in these writing assignments?
  • Why is academic integrity important (see syllabus)?

Use at least five different quality resources in this assignment.   Note: Wikipedia, Blogs, Info articles, and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources for research writing. Include a cover page containing: the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.

Instructions

The prevalence of social media has had a huge impact on society in the area of how we tend to relate to each other and on what is considered to be normal in general. Taking a look at the ways in which social media changes attitudes and “norms” makes for an interesting study, and one that is applicable to understanding how society is slowly changing over time.

For this assignment, you will first conduct your own research on the effects of social media on societal norms (Part 1), then you will examine what has been found through previous research conducted by others (Part 2).

 

Part 1:

Compare and contrast the attitudes of two cohorts of people; one that consists of five people that rarely use social media and one cohort of five people that uses social media 2 or more hours a day.

 

Create a list of five people that you know that use social media at least 2 or more hours per day. This group of people will make up your first cohort. Then create a list of five people that you know that either do not use social media or use it very rarely. Take into account age when creating the cohorts, and try to keep the ages as similar as possible between the cohorts. Keeping a certain level of consistency in the two cohorts will help to negate the potential effects of generational differences. Provide a brief description of each of the ten people you are going to interview divided into their respective cohorts.

 

In other words, list the five people in the social media at least 2 or more hours a day, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them. Then provide a list of the five people that rarely or never use social media, and provide a brief description of each along with why you chose them.

 

Interview the participants to learn the similarities and differences between the two cohorts as it relates to attitudes, lifestyles, and relationships. Write a two-page paper comparing and contrasting what you learned about the two cohorts. Be sure to relate your findings to cultivation theory and socialization theory in the paper.

 

Part 2:

Now you will compare your research with research findings through previous research conducted by others. Look up at least 3 articles in the Rasmussen Library that relate to the topic of social media and its impact on society. You are not limited to articles that are strictly written on the specific topic of social media and norms. Articles that are covering social media and society are available from a wide number of angles. After studying these articles, write a two-page paper on what you learned on the topic of social media and its potential impact on societal attitudes, customs, and norms.

What might the advantages be for a business of using SWOTT over SWOT analysis?

For nearly every profession, there are sets of tools that are used to perform specific functions and accomplish certain tasks. Landscapers use shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows to renovate the laws and gardens outside of someone’s home. Recording studios use microphones, guitars, and audio software to create an album. Similarly, businesses can use analytical tools (such as SWOT analysis and environmental analysis) to achieve their goals. It is important to understand how the tools work and which ones would be best for different circumstances in order to achieve the best outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will examine various analytical tools and how they are applied in a business.

 

Post a 225- to 300-word (3- to 4-paragraph) analysis of how an organization can use analytical tools to create value and develop a strategy to achieve and maintain competitive advantage. In your analysis, address the following:

  • What might the advantages be for a business of using SWOTT over SWOT analysis?
  • Are there any other aspects of the environmental analysis that would be important to consider that are not covered by SWOTT?
  • How can analytical tools be used to create value for an organization?
  • Why is it important to do such an in-depth environmental analysis before creating a strategy?
  • To support your response, be sure to reference at least one properly cited scholarly source.
