For Questions 1, 2, 3 address the issue in one page with substantiation.Question 1:  (33.33%) Consider potential patient use of micro-hospitals in view of behavioral economic theory using either the status qua bias or decision fatigue to determine if cost savings of these micro-hospitals will prove effective in controlling healthcare costs in the U.S.  Refer to Chapter 4 and the readings.Question 2:  (33.33%)If economic analysts believe managed care strategies offer the best hope for controlling U.S. health costs by changing what services are provided rather than changing consumer demand  (Rice & Unruh, p. 121), would changing the place of service, using micro-hospitals, be useful to address supply-side policies?Question 3:  (33.33%)If one of the main factors to determine healthcare labor demand is “healthcare delivery system design and financing (including efficiencies, reimbursement rates, and labor substitution),” how would the micro-hospital design impact healthcare labor demand? See Chapter 8

People are a team’s most valuable resource. A major role of a leader is to attract smart and talented people, as well as raise the intellectual level in the team. For this assignment, think of an organization with which you are familiar, and do the following: Discuss examples of leadership practices in the organization that support that humans are the most valuable resource Discuss examples of leadership practices in the organization that suggest that humans are not the most valuable resource To get you started, think about how this pertains to your work, sports, church, or school history. If none of these apply, think of how leadership works in your family structure. Take those examples of leadership practices that support that humans are the most valuable resource and those that suggest that humans are not the most valuable resource.

One negative message AND one short essay. Your negative message should demonstrate an understanding in the application of the negative message principles from the background reading. Your short essay should define and explain the negative principles you used from the background reading, how you used them in your essays, and explain the importance and value of the negative message principles you used. Overview Most employers recoil from having to tell employees that they will be “downsized.” To make a difficult job easier, managers sometimes use euphemisms and jargon to avoid bluntly announcing that someone has been laid off. In fact, cutbacks have generated new words like “rightsizing” and “re-engineering.” Regardless of the language, an economic tailspin forces organizations to explain to laid-off employees that what’s bad for them is best for the company. At eBay, 1,500 employees lost their jobs in a program of “employee simplification.” At Yahoo, the CEO explained layoffs as a way for the company to “become more fit.” No matter how you look at it, people are worried about losing their jobs, and those who remain are worried about whether the company will stay in business. Experts differ on how to reveal possible workforce reductions. Should managers disclose the news indirectly and quietly? Or should they use the direct approach and announce loudly that they are taking forceful action to strengthen the organization in a dour economy? Some say that executives should use bland language to minimize the public relations fallout from mass firings. Vague explanations and even corporate jargon may be appropriate to reduce the negative effect on remaining employees and on recruiting new employees when the economy rebounds. Opaque language and euphemisms may lessen the impact of layoffs. Scenario: Your company has decided to lay off 10 percent of its workforce to maintain profitability. Although every department has participated in cost-cutting measures, expenses continue to mount, and sales are not where they should be. Your direct supervisor, Shirley Schmidt, has asked you to draft an email that goes to the staff whose jobs are untouched by the layoffs. The goal is to assure key employees that management is in control of the situation. You need to emphasize that your company maintains a strong strategic vision, and that management is convinced of the firm’s rosy future in the tech industry. Still, layoffs are necessary to make the company more financially stable. Ever mindful of its people, your company is taking all possible measures to assist those who have lost their jobs. These reductions will help make the firm stronger, says Schmidt. In addressing remaining employees, your message should explain the bad news and strive to preserve employee morale. Decide whether to use the direct or indirect approach. Apply as many concepts as possible from the readings. After you’ve written the letter, write an essay describing how you used the ideas from the readings.

Assignment 3 – Implementation Defend or oppose the statement: “Developing marketing strategy is more important than implementing marketing strategy because, if the strategy is flawed, its implementation doesn’t matter.” This assignment should be between 350-2000 words (excluding references, charts, graphs, etc.) with the focus being on quality content and reasoned arguments.

Part ITo prepare for this Case Assignment, answer the following in paragraph format (one paragraph should be plenty):Define “invasive species” using the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) website: National Invasive Species Information Center. USDA. invasivespeciesinfo.govProvide three examples of invasive species in your region.Define “endemic species,” and provide an example of an endemic species from anywhere in the world. If you can find an example of an endemic species in your region, please include it as well.Now read the following article:Where eagles dare: The more prosperous countries now favour protecting wildlife, not killing it. (2013). The Economist.After you have read the article, answer the following questions in paragraph format by using an introduction sentence, related topic sentences, and a conclusion statement that draws connections between the ideas presented.Name some ways that governments are trying to redress threats against endemic species. Briefly, describe the examples presented in this article.What is described as the biggest challenge for governments?How are governments addressing this challengePart IIWith habitat loss, less land and resources mean lower carrying capacity. For the second part of this assignment, you will apply the readings to two cases in which conservation of habitat applies to carrying capacity and economics. Choose one of these large predators to investigate: One of the large cats (i.e., lions, cougars, panthers, etc.) or polar bears.What size of land/water is required to support this animal?What pressures threaten this organism’s habitat?What role do international trade and political regulation play in protecting this organism? Are these in place and enforced?ResourcesBraun, D. (2012). Lion numbers plunge as African wilderness succumbs to human pressure. National Geographic Society.

This assignment is based on a call to tender for practicum research to be undertaken in collaboration with the organisation outlined in Appendix B. Your practicum research tender report should outline the following:   · Introduction and research motivation: Why is the research or problem an important one for the client to investigate?   · Research question(s): These can be provisionally stated as they may change during the research process. They may be stated as questions or hypotheses. This depends on the particular methodological approach chosen by the researcher and the topic.   · Indicative Literature Review: This should outline previous academic work to date. It should be a statement about the gaps that your research will fill or why particular problems merit investigation. In reviewing the literature, it is useful to look for contradictions and paradoxes. These usually suggest that there is an interesting research question which could be addressed. You will need to cite well known and authoritative material (from academically robust sources), critically reviewing the findings, implications and conclusions from previous work. It should have a logical flow and have headings (and subheadings if appropriate).     · Proposed Research Design: A brief indication of how the research will be carried out including information on your population and sampling strategy and methods you will use and why. There should be a very clear link between the methods you describe in this section and the objectives you have previously defined. Be explicit in your writing and state exactly how the methods you have chosen will fulfil your objectives. Think about why these methods will achieve these over other possible research approaches: in particular, the ‘validity’ and ‘reliability’ of the methods chosen.   · Proposed Research Instruments: Discuss the research instruments that will be used and provide a sample research instrument appropriate to your research design e.g. survey instrument, interview schedule, focus group guide.    Appendix B   Company:   Wedding Services Grace & Ivory provides a curated selection of on-trend modern Wedding and Bridal Accessories. Including bridal and hen party decor, beautiful gifts, garters, bags, jewellery and hair accessory selection. Grace & Ivory handpick each item listed on their website, specially chosen for quality and style.   Affiliate & Influencer Marketing (incl. Affiliate Window)
