4. Discuss implementation of research into practice

Please write in the third person throughout. Extensive use of th evidence base is required to support writing/discussion. In-line referencing will count towards word count.

Please use the below structure

Introduction

• What am I doing – talk about doing a lit critique and why they are useful

• Why am I doing it – links to HCPC, CPD and EBP

• How am I doing it – which framework you are using and why they are useful also can mention the paper you are using at this point too

Search Process

• Where did I look – CINAHL, MEDLINE, etc, with supporting evidence

• How did I search? What tools did I use within the database?

• What did I find?

• How did I decide which paper(s) to review? (inclusion/exclusion criteria) with supporting evidence

• This section should detail your search so that others could follow it and find your paper. You must justify your search, or say what you could have done (if your search was not ideal)

• You must identify the paper you are using at this point

Your search should be comprehensive enough that someone else can find the paper you did in the same way

The search should also be fully justified and supported with references

Main Body

• Use a recognised critiquing framework (e.g. Bellini & Rumrill, or Holland & Rees)

• Divide your main body using the subheadings in the framework you are using

• This section discussed the research process your papers authors have used – it does not discuss the subject matter of the paper

Implications for clinical practice

• Is the paper good enough from a research perspective to use – this is the whole point in undertaking the critique – so you should comment on this

• Can you use a single piece of research to inform your practice? Why not? Support with references

• What do other pieces of research say about this topic? Do they support your papers conclusions?

• Overall should practice be changed based upon your research in this topic

o Your conclusion should be one of the following be:

-Yes practice should be changed by doing……

-No practice should not be changed because….

-More research is required before practice can be changed

Pick a company or brand or business on which to focus, such as cereals, smartphones, or cars. What are the major segments? What are the customer motivations by segments? What are the unmet needs?

Prior to beginning your discussion response, read Managing for Organizational Integrity. In the article, Paine (1994) described scenarios of various organizations. Choose one of the ethics topics: integrity as a governing ethic, emphasizing core values, building shared aspirations, or defining right action.

Summarize the information shared in the article for your chosen topic.

Describe how the ethics topic could be incorporated into your organization or an organization that you are familiar with.

Write a scholarly research paper on cerebral vascular accident (CVA): Identify the healthcare cost Research 2-3 current scholarly articles (less than 5 years) that supports the topic. Give a brief summary/overview of the articles. Identify the key practice recommendations that are noted in the article. Reflections on how these practices can be applied to nursing practice. Acceptable sources are from peer-reviewed journals

Shortcomings of the article (This may include a consideration of whether the findings are new, reliable and repeatable, whether they advance knowledge and whether the results justify the conclusions).

The assignment is designed to test your understanding of corporate finance concepts and principles. Always remember that this is not a strategy or marketing assignment, so focus mainly but not exclusively on the finance.

Assignment Task

Select a company listed on an internationally recognised and well-established Stock Exchange (such as London, New York, Tokyo, Mumbai). It is important that historical share and stock index price data and financial statements for the selected firm and its competitors is available for a minimum of 5 years. It is preferable to select a firm operating in a single industry but not the financial industry since their accounts are more complicated and are regulated through central bank oversight.

Introduction to the selected organisation (what it is, who its key competitors are, how it operates, its industry sector) must be included

Part 1 – historical performance (over past 5 years)

Based on the systematic comparative appraisal of the selected firm’s historical performance:

• Discuss how successful the selected firm has been at delivering value to its shareholders

• Analyse the historical total shareholder return (TSR) and economic value

added (EVA) for the selected firm and its principal competitors (or appropriate benchmarks). You can also pursue or discount SVA / MVA and define you own value drivers based on the organisations annual statement. To estimate EVA: estimate cost of capital x how much capital it has compared to what they actual earn, this explains whether they are creating more or less value then the cost of capital indicates; TSR – note down any significant events, changes in price up or down, price return plus dividends; choose an appropriate benchmark • Although a full ratio analysis for the company is not required and will not be assessed, you may find a ratio analysis supplemented by analysts’ and journalists’ reports on the company helpful in analysing its past performance and as a guide to future performance. you can consider net asset value (total asset minus total liabilities) how has it changed; comparable ratios (price to earnings, enterprise value etc…). when looking at evaluations it is good to look at relative evaluation. This should be compared with competitors and previous history data.

For comparisons you should look at other firms within the same industry as your selected firm to comment on the firms performance using certain financial values and ratios.

Part 2 -prospective performance

Evaluate the current shareholder value of the selected firm.

• Apply discounted flow techniques (DCF) to the selected firm’s projected free cash flow (FCF) performance to determine its current shareholder value. This is derived from the selected firm’s projected financial statements (Profit & Loss account, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statement).

• Your projections, including the firm’s terminal value, must be based on realistic and plausible assumptions that can be fully justified. The projection horizon should be a minimum of 5 years.

• The current shareholder value is obtained by discounting the future FCFs at the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which should be estimated from the raw data.

• A full sensitivity analysis on the more significant assumptions should be conducted. As part of the discussion you should comment on what influenced the share price the most.

Project management: stakeholder analysis. Methodology for future projects to build a team. Scope Statement, including Work Breakdown Structure. Last task: risk management process applying to create risk register with at least 5 risks.
