Business Budget

Electronic spreadsheets are useful tools, especially when creating a business budget. Once a spreadsheet is set up correctly in Excel®, values

can be modified at any time, and the electronic spreadsheet will automatically update itself. Students will create a spreadsheet of computer

equipment for a small fictional business where they are the owner. They will include the cost of all hardware and software needed for their

employees, and calculate a monthly budget for the equipment. Scenario: Imagine you are the owner of a small internet business where you employ

five people. You need to budget for the cost of hardware and software needed to run company operations. Each employee is required to work both

in the office and remotely, and needs access to company data at all times. Choose the hardware and software that will provide your employees

with the ability to stay connected to internal company data, communicate and collaborate with coworkers, and process data and sales information

using wording, processing, and spreadsheet software applications.
Create a business budget sheet using Microsoft® Excel®. In the budget sheet, do the following: List the make and model of desired hardware

devices and their cost. List software operating systems and applications for each device and their costs. Sum up the cost for both hardware and

software for each employee, and then calculate the average monthly costs to maintain these systems. Insert a graph or chart displaying total

costs graphically. Label columns/rows with titles reflecting data they contain. Use no more than two sheets in one workbook to display required

data. Format data to highlight important totals. This assignment only requires that you submit an Excel® Workbook file. There are no written or

APA guideline requirements.

Discussion: Organizational Structures and Leadership

 

In most health care settings, it is unlikely that you would hear the terms “ad hoc” or “matrix” as you walk down the hallway. Although it is helpful

for any organization to delineate pathways of responsibility and authority in an organizational chart, the lived experience of these structures is most

apparent through the inquiries and behaviors people share everyday.

In your own workplace, you may find yourself wondering, who should I turn to when I have a practice dilemma? or Where can I go to learn more about this

issue? These questions speak to the intricacies of formal and informal organizational structure and leadership.
To prepare:
• Review the information presented in Chapter 12 of the course text. Focus on the information about formal versus informal structure as well as the

types of organizational structures.
• Consider the overall structure or hierarchy of your organization or one with which you are familiar. Which organizational structure best describes

your organization—line (or bureaucratic), ad hoc, matrix, service line, or flat?
•
•
• Note: It is possible to have a combination of structures in one organization. Is decision making centralized or decentralized in this organization?
• What is the role of committees, task forces, and councils in the organization, and who is invited to join? Consider how this relates to formal and

informal leadership.
• Reflect on how decisions are made within a specific department or unit. Which stakeholders provide input or influence the decision-making process?

Assess this in terms of formal and informal leadership.
• To support your analysis, consider your own experiences and investigate these matters by speaking with others at the organization and reviewing

available documents. Be sure to consider how the concepts of formal and informal structure and leadership relate to one another and are demonstrated in

the organization and in the particular department or unit.

Post a depiction of your organization’s formal structure, indicating whether it is best described as line, ad hoc, matrix, service line, flat, or a

combination. Describe how decisions are made within the organization and within one department or unit in particular, noting relevant attributes of

centralized/decentralized decision making. Explain the influence of formal and informal leadership on decision making within this department or unit.
