Case Study: Piano Guy

After reading the passage below, you must answer the questions that follow. Your answers must be saved as a MS Word document. Write answers as comprehensively as possible, and document any sources that you use following APA format.

Chapter 6 Case Study: Piano Guy

Officer Smithwick arrested Jon Doreme for drug possession. At the time of the arrest, Doreme was at a bar, and he was also intoxicated, but not grossly intoxicated. He was in fine spirits when he was brought into the station, chatting up people as Officer Smithwick took him through the station for interrogation. Back at the bar, he had told Officer Smithwick that the drugs weren’t his and that someone planted them on him.
Officer Smithwick advised him of his rights and began to ask him questions pertaining to the cocaine she found on him that he claimed was not his.
But Doreme wanted to talk about music. Doreme played keyboards in a local band and had just come into possession of a “sick baby grand piano. You should hear me play this thing. It just sounds so sweet!”
Officer Smithwick continued to question Doreme about how he came to have a baggie of cocaine sticking out of his back pocket at Sometown Pub that evening, but Doreme kept going back to the piano.
“It’s just such a great piano. It’s so pretty. Really, you should hear me play it sometime. But I don’t take it out when I’m playing with the band. So I guess you’d have to come to my house.”
“Mr. Doreme, could we get back to how you came to be in possession of the cocaine, please?”

“Seriously, though. Do you want to know the best part about this piano? I stole it. From Mr. Plink’s Piano shop. I snuck in there three weeks ago with some buddies of mine, and we stole a freaking piano!”

After another 15 minutes of questioning, Doreme confessed that the cocaine was his. In addition to facing charges for drug possession, Doreme was also brought up on theft for the baby grand piano.

Answer each of the following questions in short essay (3-4 sentences) format. Be sure to document any sources you use when constructing your responses.

1. Jon Doreme was not originally arrested for theft. Will his confession about the piano be inadmissible? Why or why not? What specific requirement about confessions applies here?
2. Jon Doreme was intoxicated when he was questioned, or he never would have confessed to stealing the piano. Would his confession be admissible?
3. When deciding to admit a confession, what is the standard of proof the government must meet? Will the government be able to establish this standard in this situation? Explain.

Both of you acknowledge that a major gap may exist in the area of training. She asks you to prepare a report about the following aspects of training:

 

Why would training be a critical component to executing a new performance appraisal system?

 

What value would training bring to the process?

 

Who should be given training within Matrix, and why?

Middle Range or Interdisciplinary Theory Evaluation

 

Assignment 2: Middle Range or Interdisciplinary Theory Evaluation

 

As addressed this week, middle range theories are frequently used as a framework for exploring nursing practice problems. In addition, theories from other sciences, such as sociology and environmental science, have relevance for nursing practice. For the next few weeks you will explore the use of interdisciplinary theories in nursing.

This Assignment asks you to evaluate two middle range or interdisciplinary theories and apply those theories to a clinical practice problem. You will also create a hypothesis based upon each theory for an evidence-based practice project to resolve a clinical problem.

Note: This Assignment will serve as your Major Assessment for this course.

 

To prepare:

 

  • Review strategies for evaluating theory presented by Fawcett and Garity in this week’s Learning Resources (see under list of Required Readings and attached pdf file)
  • Select a clinical practice problem that can be addressed through an evidence-based practice project. Note: You may continue to use the same practice problem you have been addressing in earlier Discussions and in Week 7 Assignment 1.
  • Consider the middle range theories presented this week, and determine if one of those theories could provide a framework for exploring your clinical practice problem. If one or two middle range theories seem appropriate, begin evaluating the theory from the context of your practice problem.
  • Formulate a preliminary clinical/practice research question that addresses your practice problem. If appropriate, you may use the same research question you formulated for Assignment #4.

Write a 10- to 12-page paper (including references) in APA format and a minimum of 8 references or more, using material presented in the list of required readings to consider interdisciplinary theories that may be appropriate for exploring your practice problem and research question (refer to the sample paper attached as “Assignment example”). Include the level one headings as numbered below:

1)       Introduction with a purpose statement (e.g. The purpose of this paper is…)

2)       Briefly describe your selected clinical practice problem.

3)       Summarize the two selected theories. Both may be middle range theories or interdisciplinary theories, or you may select one from each category.

4)       Evaluate both theories using the evaluation criteria provided in the Learning Resources.

5)       Determine which theory is most appropriate for addressing your clinical practice problem. Summarize why you selected the theory. Using the propositions of that theory, refine your clinical / practice research question.

6)       conclusion

MY PRACTICE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWED:

 

P: Patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

 

I:  Who are involved in diabetic self-care programs

 

C: Compared to those who do not participate in self-care programs

 

O: Are more likely to achieve improved glycemic control

 

THE THEORIES USED FOR THIS MODEL ARE:

Dorothea Orem Self-Care Theory and The Self-Efficacity in nursing Theory by Lenz & Shortridge-Baggett, or the Health Promotion Model by Pender, Murdaugh & Parson (Pick 2)

Ernesto Sabato.
Works Cited slide in MLA format
Citation of sources throughout the presentation in MLA format
Need to address these points:
What’s the nation’s literary History?
Does the nation have long, well known history of literary production? Or are we currently only discovering the depth of this culture?
What genre or style of literature has been most prominent or most well known in the country?
When reading some information about Argentina music and literature went hand and hand. Maybe we can incorporate that into the presentation

but optional if you don’t think thats correct.

o Build a metrics-driven business.
o Give management access to real-time information, and support the ongoing decision process.
• Key Business Drivers
o Operations (project and employee lifecycle)
o Business visibility – Making better business decisions
o Finding new opportunities (new clients and new service offerings)
o Focusing on the customer lifecycle
• Lifecycle Approach
o The three lifecycle processes of customers, projects, and employees are the core of a successful consulting business.
o Each must be managed with trusted operating metrics as well as a workflow that fits across the complete lifecycles.
o Prospect to customer (and ongoing client), project proposal to completion, and employee hire to retire
o Firms need to gain deeper visibility and the capability to manage each lifecycle for firm success.
• Increase Visibility
o Make better business decisions – Modernizing IT systems can provide business visibility into the key operating metrics tied to the customer-

project-employee lifecycle.
o Get IT systems that “fit” your business – There are deeply verticalized/specialized systems available “off the shelf” that are more effective

and efficient than building your own systems.
o Simply put, they “fit” your business better, they are maintained and updated by an expert, and they free up your resources to focus on critical

business activities.
• Find New Growth Opportunities
o Find and grow the “right” business. – Build new offerings and find new opportunities needs.
o Establish a process that leverages operating and market data to support building the “right” services.
o Eliminate unprofitable offerings, and grow the business by expanding into existing clients and into adjacent offerings’ clients.
o Firms need a highly evolved new service introduction process with underlying IT systems to take advantage of growth opportunities.
o Get a complete and integrated lifecycle view of your business so you can make “better” business decisions.
o Gain deeper visibility and the capability to manage the lifecycle of the project.
o Maximize the value of clients through systems that provide a lifecycle view of the client and key client metrics.
• Are In-House Systems Ineffective?
o Across the board, many firms continue to develop and manage IT systems, even though the financial and business advantage of buying systems is

an accepted approach and has many advantages.
o This trend was first observed in a previous global survey of consulting firms 2 years ago and continues to be commonplace.
o In-house developed systems are often ineffective, difficult to manage and upgrade, and in general, not built using current technology.
o Developing and maintaining your own IT systems takes business resources away from business-critical activities.
• Best Consulting Firms Use Industry-Specific Systems
o A surprising number of firms (potentially over 80%) do not have industry-specialized financial and project systems in place.
o This is despite the demonstrated advantage that they can deliver over generic financial management and customer management systems.
o Despite the critical nature of resources in a consulting business, most firms do not have HCM and talent-management systems.
o Firms do not have the systems to manage the customer-project-employee lifecycle.
• Cloud Is the Future
o 73% of consulting firms are moving to the cloud.
o The cloud provides many firms an obvious route to app modernization that helps firms move scarce resources into business-critical areas while

solving business visibility challenges with new, modern IT systems.
o This also helps to address firms’ priorities by providing ways to more effectively manage the customer, project, and employee lifecycles.
• Network and Client Server Architecture
o Network
o Client-server architecture
• The Future for HR Professionals
o The future for careers in HR seems brighter than ever.
o Firms need to seek balance between attracting, motivating, and retaining the very best talent and keeping costs as low as possible.
o Finding such a balance requires HR leaders who have a deep knowledge of the business combined with knowledge of HR issues, tools, processes,

and technology.

 

 

Montreaux Chocolate USA Case Study

The Montreaux Chocolate USA case is a good example of a company that has been successful in specific markets and is now entering a new market. While the target demographic profile may be similar, differences are attributable to culture, customer values, and substitute products in one market.

To prepare for this Assignment, review the case study introduced in Week 2: “Montreaux Chocolate USA: Are Americans Ready for a Healthy Dark Chocolate?” Then, consider what you learned from the readings this week. Continue to put yourself in the role of the market research director and create a memo that informs the company leaders who are considering how to improve their value proposition in the eyes of the customer by applying online survey techniques to market research.

Submit your memo that demonstrates how Montreaux could facilitate co-creation of a value proposition that survey respondents would embrace, using a self-completion type of question design.
In addition, formulate three new questions for measuring customer values for the online survey Montreaux Chocolate USA will use. Explain the customer insights you expect to obtain from your questions
