Description

No secondary sources are required for this essay, and I would prefer you base your essay on your own interpretation, not on additional research. That said, if you do complete additional research, you must acknowledge whenever words or ideas that you have taken from others appear in your essay. In the case of words directly taken from other sources, these must: a) be presented in quotation marks, b) followed by a complete MLA formatted citation indicating the origin of the words, and c) a work cited list giving all of the required information for an MLA Work Cited entry. In the case of ideas taken from other sources, you must do ALL of the following: a) use signal phases to indicate where ideas originate with others (for instance, “As Smith argues, these costs are too high for a variety of reasons”), b) provide MLA formatted citations that give the required information about where the ideas originate, c) provide a corresponding Work Cited List entry at the end of the essay that gives all of the information required in MLA format for the cited source, and d) ensure that none of the phrasing from the original occurs (for if it did, it should be treated as a quotation).

What are the emerging issues of economic security in South Sudan?

Title: Economic Security in South Sudan

Introduction

It is a considerable fact that economic uncertainty is becoming increasingly institutionalised in an increasing number of organisations, with a notably severe influence on the labor and financial sectors. When it comes to the world’s poorest nations, neoliberal globalisation has made matters significantly worse. It seems likely that for the foreseeable future, the majority of people’s lives will be marked by either risk or economic insecurity (International Monetary Fund, 2020). Difficulties in dealing with sickness, unemployment, a scarcity of food and shelter are all prevalent in a community with an unsteady economic situation (AbouChadi and Immergut, 2019).

Since the beginning of globalisation, human civilization has undergone significant modifications, and we now need to move on to the next chapter of our evolutionary journeys. According to the International Labour Organisation (2014), a broad variety of institutional and legislative adjustments are required in order to have a genuinely safe economic environment. Insecurity and instability in the economy have increased as a consequence of globalisation and liberalization. Economic security and globalisation, as well as flexible markets, informal economic activity, and income insecurity, all constitute a serious danger to the international economy (Jensen and Wenzelburger, 2020).

Research Question

• What are the emerging issues of economic security in South Sudan?
• How is South Sudan’s economic security system developed?
• How is South Sudan implementing economic security policies?
• What are the challenges of South Sudan’s economic security?
• What are the solutions to the problems of economic security in South Sudan?

Aims and objectives

The proposed study aims at identifying the type of economic insecurity generated in South Sudan in recent years and the state responds, particularly addressing how the problem is mitigated at the local level. Following are the objectives developed to achieve the research aim:

• To analyse the emerging issues of economic security in South Sudan
• To investigate South Sudan’s economic security system developed
• To examine the implementing policies related to economic security in South Sudan
• To review the challenges of South Sudan’s economic security
• To evaluate the solutions to the problems of economic security in South Sudan

Overview of the proposed research

It is the overarching goal of the planned research to identify the degree to which South Sudan is experiencing economic instability. The fundamental objective of this study, in addition, is to analyses the state’s response to these economic security problems in order to discover the most effective means of addressing them. In order to come up with significant conclusions, the researcher decided to employ qualitative data into the investigation.

Discuss the strategic opportunities that might exist for MCC through this acquisition

CONTEXT

At the end of 2020, Australian construction firm MC Constructions (MCC) announced its acquisition of Singapore-based technology company SeniorConnect. Plans to integrate the business were stalled as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and SeniorConnect has therefore largely operated independently since the acquisition with the exception of creating consistency in some company policies and processes. Now, more than a year since the acquisition, MCC is reinitiating plans to integrate the SeniorConnect business.

In January 2022, MCC appointed Andi Lafley to the newly created role of Chief Strategy Officer.

Your task

You are a new Partner in your current Business Unit.

Your company have been asked to accommodate a last minute meeting request with the MCC Chief Strategy Officer Andi Lafley later today. There is an urgency to progress, and Andi’s EA would like to take advantage of a block of time that has recently become available in Andi’s calendar.

You have volunteered to attend this meeting with another Partner*. A meeting has been scheduled to allow you and your peer to prepare for this meeting.

• Client meeting (role play) (30 mins): After your preparation time, you will have 30 minutes to conduct your meeting with the ‘client’ – the Chief Strategy Officer of MCC Andi Lafley.

Information about the meeting with MCC

Subject: Meeting

Hi – thanks for accommodating this meeting at short notice – we really wanted to take advantage of Andi’s availability today.

Andi has requested that I provide you with the following notes about what they would like to cover at the meeting but wanted me to let you know that they are also happy to be guided by your team as to what is covered. Given integration of SeniorConnect was impacted by COVID, there is a strong sense of wanting to regain momentum, so we are keen to understand which professional services partners may be able to partner with MCC on this journey.

Andi has shared the following objectives for the conversation:

• Discuss the strategic opportunities that might exist for MCC through this acquisition
• Meet some members of your firm who may be working with us if we were to appoint you as a trusted supplier
• Anything else you wish to present or discuss

I attach our information pack which we have circulated to interested suppliers in advance of these preliminary conversations.

Thanks again,

EA to Chief Strategy Officer

MCC and SeniorConnect Information Pack

Overview

MCC has historically specialised in medium density residential builds. Recently, industry issues related to construction standards, oversupply and combustible cladding to name a few, have significantly impacted MCC’s pipeline and profitability. These challenges have been exacerbated by COVID-19. Prior to the pandemic MCC had refreshed its 2025 strategy and the key pillars of that strategy were cost leadership and expansion into emerging markets.

MCC acquired SeniorConnect at the end of 2020.

Founded in 2012, SeniorConnect’s mission is to use technology to drive wellbeing, connection and quality of life for older people. Its core business – Networks – connects seniors to assisted living, leisure and wellbeing services in their area (creating a ‘virtual retirement village’). In 2016 it established a Devices division in response to growing interest in the role of technology in aged care.

Headquartered in Singapore, SeniorConnect has experienced strong growth particularly as consumers and their families are more digitally literate than ever before, and have strong preferences (and in south-east Asia, cultural expectations) to ‘age in place’. SeniorConnect has had some success in the nearby markets, but has been interested in expanding in Australia and New Zealand for some time.

The acquisition of SeniorConnect represents MCC’s aspiration to disrupt the global residential aged care marketplace through a ‘home first’ model – luxury residential apartments which happen to be enabled through technology to support older people to age in place, with onsite healthcare and social support. MCC has previously been focused on the provision of mid-market residential and retail builds. The new strategic direction would involve leveraging this construction capability, and building new capability in smarthome and telehealth specifically related to ageing and senior living.

Full integration of SeniorConnect was stalled during 2021 and aside from the implementation of some MCC policies and processes, SeniorConnect has continued to operate largely independently. There was a significant increase in demand for SeniorConnect services due to the pandemic and seniors spending more time at home.

MCC is looking for a commercially-savvy and future-focused partner to support us in successfully defining and executing the new business direction in light of the acquisition. There is a desire to move at pace, having lost a year of momentum as a result of the pandemic. As the scope of work is by its nature, likely to be dynamic, the preference is to partner with a smaller number of providers who can support across the spectrum of likely services and supports over time rather to engage with a larger number of niche providers.

Determine whether the law and the ANA’s standards support or conflict with that action.

Read the following scenario: Lena is a community health care nurse who works exclusively with HIV-positive and AIDS patients. As a part of her job, she evaluates new cases and reviews confidential information about these patients.

Lena would like to protect her sister from harm and begins to consider how her sister can find out about her boyfriend’s health status.   Consult at least two resources to help you establish Lena’s legal and ethical position. These resources might include your state’s Nurse Practice Act, the ANA’s Code of Ethics, ANA’s Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, and internal or external standards of care. Consider what action you would take if you were Lena and why. Determine whether the law and the ANA’s standards support or conflict with that action. Question; Description of the actions you would take in this situation, and why. Justify these actions by referencing appropriate laws, ethical standards, and professional guidelines.
