week 2 assignment 1 Informed Consent

Informed ConsentScenario: Imagine that you are the lead researcher at a pharmaceuticals laboratory. You have just discovered a new pill that has the potential to cure Type 1 diabetes in human beings. A five-year randomized controlled study using chimpanzees found that diabetes was cured in the animals who took a daily dose of 500mg of your new drug, DIA123. Specifically, the research found that:After two years of taking 500mg of DIA123, diabetes was no longer an issue among 78% of the chimps, and they no longer needed insulin injections.The dosage was decreased to 250mg for year three, and the diabetes never returned.DIA123 was eliminated in years four and five, and the diabetes never returned.No additional exercise or dietary restrictions aided in the study. Therefore, the analysis strongly supported the hypothesis that DIA123 was the primary cause of the elimination of diabetes.While the diabetes issue was eliminated, the research discovered a few side effects:2% of the chimps suffered from moderate to severe diarrhea, which started within a month of taking the pills. This led to the possibility of dehydration, so careful monitoring of liquids was necessary.15% of the chimps suffered from excessive heart palpitations during the three years taking DIA123. Due to the length of the study, the long-term impacts of these heart palpitations are unknown.18% of the chimps suffered from a loss of libido, which did not dissipate after discontinuing DIA123 in years four and five.Must be one to two pages in length, formatted appropriately as an informed consent form.Must include a separate title page with the following:Date submitted

DDHA8450 Walden University Evaluation Plan for Accountable Care Organization Formation

Evaluation Plan for Accountable Care Organization FormationConsider the following scenario:You are a health care administrator for a large community hospital in an urban market. Your hospital has already made substantial investments in health information technology and physician participation. In response to health care reform, several competing hospitals are starting to form ACOs to participate in new payment models designed to reduce costs and improve population health.The board of directors for your hospital has requested that you lead the development of an evaluation plan to assess the potential impact of ACO formation. In particular, the board wants to understand how the ACO will align with the organization’s strategy and what information will be required to assess the impact of the ACO on your organization’s performance.For this Assignment, reflect on the scenario presented, and consider how you might implement an evaluation plan for the desired outcomes and goals described. Consider what steps you might take as a current or future health care administrator and how an evaluation plan should be developed for a project such as that described in the scenario.In (15–20 pages):

MRKT 3001 Walden University Organizational Change and Marketing Five Cs Discussion

If everyone at a company, from its leaders to its employees, lacked the skill sets and knowledge necessary to work with modern technology, you would not expect that company to become the next disrupter of the technological world. If suppliers could only deliver raw materials for a product at $10, you would not expect a company to offer the final product to customers at $5 each, unless the goal of that company is to go out of business. Companies do not want to enter a market for something that is in the last stages of being a fad, nor would they want to expand their offerings into an area that will soon be heavily regulated or where superior products or services already exist, which would make it difficult to turn a profit. By having an understanding of the marketing five Cs and using its principles to make strategic decisions, managers can have a better understanding of what their capabilities are (company), who they need to work with (collaborators), whom they are trying to sell to (customers), which existing products or services they need to outperform (competitors), and how larger aspects of the global economy can impact their businesses (climate).In this Discussion, you will locate an example of a real company that has gone through a change and apply your understanding of the five Cs to determine their effect on the decisions that were made.To prepare for this Discussion:By Day 3Post a 150- to 225-word (2- to 3-paragraph) analysis of the environment for the organization featured in the news article using the five Cs of situational analysis. In your analysis, address the following:

Complete 2 AIU Discussions

Discussion 1:This assignment has two parts.Review the Terminal Course Objectives, accessed by clicking on the “Course Information” tab at the top of your screen, scrolling down to the “Course Objectives” and then selecting View class objectives. How will accomplishing these objectives support your success in management? What risks or challenges might a manager encounter if they have not mastered these objectives? Explain.Technicians at FOY have indicated they could recall and reformulate Eternally Yours, but that would result in significant revenue loss, negatively impact share price for stockholders, and jeopardize your position as chief executive officer (CEO).The accounting department advises that the likelihood of customers formally filing a complaint is fairly low (under 10% of all purchasers) and that the typical claims can be settled easily, since no one has experienced lethal responses to using Eternally Yours. The legal department states that the product packaging says it is not FDA-approved, and that most people that sustain an injury is mild and are unlikely to file a claim. As CEO of FOY, it is your task to report to the Board of Directors and shareholders at next week’s annual meeting and discuss what steps are being taken in response to this product defect. As you prepare for this meeting, you research and prepare to answer the following questions:Do you keep Eternally Yours on the shelf or recall the product and reformulate it? Identify the ethical theory relied upon in making your decision in question 1 and explain why that theory was selected and is best for FOY in this matter. Based on your reading of the course learning materials, identify the stakeholders (those who are impacted by your decision) and explain whether FOY has a corporate social responsibility (CSR) to those identified or not. 

Grantham University On Triumph of The Will Discussion Questions

I don’t understand this History question and need help to study. DISCUSSION 1:[On Triumph of the Will – please watch the first 50 minutes of this video, which is a record of the Nazi Party rally at Nuremberg in 1934:] Keeping in mind that the German people had just been through years of war and inflation, and were going through the Depression, why might the scenes portrayed have made viewers want to join the Nazi Party? DISCUSSION 2:[On Triumph of the Will] In what ways was Hitler’s speech to the youth similar to ordinary political speeches such as one might hear in an American election? In what ways was it different? Would you say it is more similar or different? DISCUSSION 3:[On Triumph of the Will – please watch the first 50 minutes of this video, which is a record of the Nazi Party rally at Nuremberg in 1934:] Keeping in mind that the German people had just been through years of war and inflation, and were going through the Depression, why might the scenes portrayed have made viewers want to join the Nazi Party?

Culture Of The Organization Discussion

reply to discusion post:The primary driving force for risk management is determined by the culture of the organization. I say this because the policies, procedures, and guidelines used to eliminate or respond to risk must be practiced daily in every facet of the organization. These underlying beliefs and values that contribute to mitigation directly relate to the competency of the individuals implementing them. On the complacency end of the spectrum agencies may believe that certain things will never happen in their district, so why prepare for them. Using the growing concern of active shooters as an example, some departments are not spending the time or purchasing equipment for a nationally excepted rescue task force model. Their mentality is that “we are a small, family town” and there is no need to spend money on something that will never happen here.               Unfortunately, I have witnessed this type of culture carry over to the critical infrastructure for public safety in these areas as well. For example, adequate fire suppression requires a couple of factors such as people, water, and equipment. The risk of destruction from fire is mitigated through the local fire department which relies on CI to be in place during catastrophic events. If a city does not have any systems in place for secondary back-up on water pumps and communications. A single storm event can take out all the hydrants along with the radio service for the fire and emergency services.  Crippling the ability to provide needed services.               The reason for not having plans, procedures, and equipment in place is directly related to the leadership attitude. Risk cannot be managed with a complacent mindset. The question should not be “if” something should happen; instead managers should view it as “when” something happens.

Trident Time they have to spend in meetings

One of the biggest complaints among managers is the huge amount of time they have to spend in meetings. Ideally the purpose of meetings is to put everyone’s heads together to solve a problem or make a decision. But far too often they can lead to unproductive, time-wasting conversations and even conflict.For this assignment, think about some recent meetings you’ve attended where a significant decision had to be made. Think carefully about how some of the problems regarding group decision making that were discussed in the background readings apply to what you’ve experienced. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following issues:SLP Assignment ExpectationsAnderson, D. R. (1990). Increased productivity via group decisionmaking. SuperVision, 51(9), 6.

BA 4101 TU Improvement in Technology Discussion

THIS DISCUSSION IS ALSO THE TOPIC OF THIS WEEK’S WEBEX – COME PREPARED.Forecasting, Failure and Strategic Adaptation:This is an assessment, not a political preference, discussion topic – Nobody cares what you WANT or whether you LIKE what is happening.It is fair to judge that most major firms and governments based their strategies around the idea of ever greater globalization – less nationalism and and further integration of everything from supply chains to markets to hiring practices (both greater human migration so domestic hiring is more diverse and also more international hiring so that INTERNAL firm diversity is increased).There is currently a significant backlash to globalization in MANY countries with changing political, economic, societal, cultural and thus operational realities. The CEO’s of firms must now reconsider. Discuss 1) What happens to your strategy when you were wrong – When UNANTICIPATED BY YOU increasing nationalism and populism appears and changes the rules? 2) How will you ADAPT? 3) How can you get better at forecasting the future?This summary discussion looks for specific examples, properly referenced, and adequately thought out using significant critical thinking. There is no other assignment this week so you have the time to do the research and serious critical thinking.
