Part A

 

MKD Transportation owns and operates a fleet of container ships and tankers that transport goods around the globe. Company executives have just been contacted by the media with a credible report that one of their ships is leaking an oily substance off the coast of Belize. If true, some of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs could be in danger. On the other hand, the captain of the ship in question has not notified the company of any problem, and cleanup could be very costly. Environmental groups and the government of Belize have demanded that the company admit responsibility and immediately begin cleanup.

 

1. Managers at MKD claim to exercise ethical behavior toward their employees. Describe three (3) matters this behavior might cover.
2. What might the general public begin to think about MKD’s responsibilities toward the environment? Provide one (1) example.
3. If MKD adopts an obstructionist stance, how will the company respond to this media report? Provide one (1) supporting fact.
4. If MKD adopts a defensive stance, how will the company respond to this situation? Provide one (1) supporting fact.
5. If MKD adopts an accommodative stance, how will the company respond to the media and demands by the government of Belize and environmental groups? Provide one (1) supporting fact.
6. How might this situation have been different in the event that MKD had initially adopted a proactive stance to social responsibility? Provide one (1) supporting fact.

Part B

 

Describe one (1) example of a situation in which a company might adopt a pricing objective other than profit maximization. Provide two (2) supporting facts.

Performance analysis utilizes techniques and tools from various disciplines. A complete performance analysis should include the following five (5) techniques: extant data analysis, needs analysis, knowledge task analysis, procedural task analysis, and systems task analysis. In this week, you will analyze the process of performance analysis. Maximizing performance is the desired end result. Two excellent resources for performance analyses (including organizational environmental, gap, and cause analysis) are case studies 2.1 and 2.2 within Fundamentals of performance improvement: A guide to improving people, process, and performance.

HPT tools
GaryPlatt. (2010, June 24). From performance gap to needs analysis

For this assignment, write a paper in which you thoroughly analyze the cases to provide a comprehensive report that includes the following:
• Identify the key issues, goals, and options.
• Identify the causes of the performance gap.
• Identify potential interventions.
• Evaluate the intervention/recommendation from a cost/benefit perspective and implementations (ramifications of the actions).
• Compare and contrast the processes used in the cases.
• Recommend solutions and interventions to the organization that you would do differently.
• Discuss how you could apply the cases to your organization and the rationale.
Length: 6 pages not including title and reference page
References: Minimum of 7 scholarly resources.
The first phase in the HPT model is performance analysis. Performance analysis is important because it identifies the cause of the problem or the opportunities available to use as powerful sources of innovation. During performance analysis, training and performance specialists see two broad types of information: direction (vision, mission, values, etc. that impact performance) and performance drivers (internal and external factors affecting performance positively or negatively).
In the HPT Model, performance analysis focuses on four areas:
1. Desired performance state
2. Actual performance state
3. The gap between desired and actual performance
4. Causes of gaps in performance
In the next few activities in the module, you will utilize techniques for performance analysis, select an intervention, and evaluate performance.
Review the following video: From Performance Gap to Needs Analysis
Afterwards, reflect on the following questions:
1. What are the linkages between needs analysis, performance analysis, organization analysis, and gap analysis?
2. What similarities do you see in the video and from your reading?

 

 

 

Nursing Assignment: Application:
Drawing Conclusions About Research Findings and Their Implications for Clinical Practice
As a current or future nursing researcher and professional, your ability to draw reasonable conclusions from research findings will determine the effectiveness of proposed solutions for clinical nursing practice. As you continue to develop your skill set to become a nursing leader, your exposure to a multitude of research designs, research findings, and evidence-based practice will likely inform how you will absorb this knowledge into meaningful clinical practice. Throughout this course and program, your exposure to different research questions, research study designs, and approaches to addressing serious issues in both nursing and health care confirms the ever-changing landscape in which you have elected to practice. While this is in its own right challenging, it also offers several opportunities to create new knowledge, improve upon current nursing practice, and exercise research skills for positive patient outcomes.
For this Assignment, review the research methods and findings of the Verweij study conducted in 2014. The primary purpose of this quantitative research study was to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention to decrease medication errors in a hospital. The citation and discussion/conclusion information is intentionally deleted so you can draw your own conclusions.
In a 2- to 3-page, double-spaced paper, describe three conclusions you have drawn from the findings in this study, taking into consideration the limitations of the study. Next describe three implications for clinical practice. Once you have submitted the assignment, you will be given the full article for review.
Refer to the Academic Writing Expectations (AWE) Checklist document and use the Walden template from this week’s resources. No abstract or reference list is required for AWE 2000/3000.
