Describe the relationships between the organization’s form and functions.

DAT 205 Module Two Assignment Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
An organization’s 
form is made up of the overarching characteristics that define the type of organization, including how and why the organization formed, its size and location(s), the type of ownership, whether it is nonprofit or for-profit, the goods and services it offers, how long it has been in business, and its mission, vision, and core values. As a professional, you must understand the form of an organization to be sure the business aligns to your interests and goals.

Organizations are typically organized, or structured, into groups of 
functions. Key functional areas of an organization develop groups of staff, or departments, to ensure the smooth flow of information and operations within the organizational structure. Understanding the form and functions of an organization can help you identify ways that data can be used to address questions in the organization. As a data professional, you must understand how you will fit within a business, work as a part of a team, and communicate to the right stakeholders at the right time.

Prompt
In the previous assignments, you have explored several business organizations and their profiles using a variety of resources. For this assignment, you may choose a business organization that you are interested in. Take a moment to reflect on what you have learned so far in this course and the experiences you have had both in the course and in your personal and professional life.
Now, choose 
one business organization, also known as a company. Use the 

Handshake Guide
 to help you search for business organizations on Handshake. Use the 

Shapiro Library Guide: Company Research
 page to research the company you chose. You may use any of the databases and resources provided in the guide to research and address the following:

· Identify and describe at least three characteristics of the business organization’s form.
· Identify and describe at least three key functional areas that exist in the business organization.
· Describe the relationships between the organization’s form and functions. Begin by reviewing the characteristics that make up the form of the organization that you just researched and consider how each characteristic of the form influences the various functions. For example, you might consider questions such as the following:
· If an organization is small, how does this influence each department and its role within the organization?
· If an organization is nonprofit, how does this influence the various functions within the organization?
· If the organization has multiple locations, how does this affect how each functional area operates and communicates?

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Case Studies Presentation
By Wednesday, November 25, 2015, create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to educate a group of medical students participating in their grand rounds. There should be at least ten slides in your Microsoft PowerPoint as well as a title slide and a slide listing all your sources for creating this slideshow.

In order to create your slideshow, review the two case studies and then answer the questions following each case study:
Case Study 1: Isaac is a fifty-nine-year-old man. Several months ago, he noticed a slight tremor in his hands. He assumed this to be a normal consequence of aging. The tremor, however, gradually worsened, along with some muscular stiffness and slowness in initiating movement. The tremor was more pronounced when he was not voluntarily moving. Isaac was referred to a neurologist, who diagnosed him with Parkinson’s disease. After visiting the neurologist, Isaac and his family ask you to further explain this disorder. Isaac also asks about L-dopa as a treatment—the neurologist had mentioned L-dopa as an effective medication but had instead prescribed selegiline:

What are the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?
What are the possible causes? Be sure to discuss both hereditary and environmental factors thought to contribute to this disease.
What parts of the brain does this disease affect?
Why do you think the neurologist prescribed selegiline instead of L-dopa?

Case Study 2: Sabrina is a twenty-seven-year-old woman who recently underwent a corpus callosotomy. Initially after surgery, when given a verbal command, Sabrina demonstrated marked apraxia of the left hand. However, the extent of this issue diminished over time. Answer the following questions about this client:

What disorder was most likely being treated by this operation, and how is the surgery performed?
In what way is the surgery expected to help Sabrina?
What are the risks and benefits of the surgery? Compare these to the risks and benefits of an alternative treatment. If the decision were yours, which would you recommend? Explain your decision.
What was the cause of the apraxia?
What does the reduction in apraxia symptoms tell us about hemispheric specialization?

Describe the relationship between nature versus nurture.

 
Childcare class paper
watch the videos from McDowell and Pollack. The debate regarding nature versus nurture and how it impacts child development has been ongoing for centuries. This debate is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e. nature) or environmental (i.e. nurture) characteristics. Throughout history, researchers have often envisioned nature and nurture as separate and opposing influences. Today, developmental theorists increasingly agree that nature and nurture are interdependent, working dynamically together, in child development (McDevitt, 2010). What is nature versus nurture?Watch the following videos:

There are more people in need of an organ transplant than there are donor organs, and as such, there is a long waiting list of patients waiting to receive their transplant. What are the factors that will establish a patients order on the list? How would you ensure that the most urgent cases receive proper attention?

There are more people in need of an organ transplant than there are donor organs, and as such, there is a long waiting list of patients waiting to receive their transplant. What are the factors that will establish a patient’s order on the list? How would you ensure that the most urgent cases receive proper attention? What happens if a patient exaggerates his or her condition in order to receive preferential treatment on the list?

Some of these patients will die before they receive the organ that could save their life. A waiting list is used to maintain the allocation of donor organs to patients.
For this module’s assignment, design your own 1-2 page organ transplant waiting list criteria. Some points to consider include the following: What are the factors that will establish a patient’s order on the list? How would you ensure that the most urgent cases receive proper attention?

Case Study: 
3-2 House Closing       
You’ve entered into a contract to purchase a new house, and the closing is scheduled for next week. It’s typical for some last-minute bargaining to occur at the closing table, where sellers often try to tack on extra fees. You have three options for the closing: (1) attend yourself, (2) send an attorney authorized to close only per the previously negotiated terms, or (3) pre-sign all the closing documents per the current terms and not attend the closing. Consider each bargaining position; which position would you go with and why?
