Your automobile component company is considering taking on a project that requires $10 million in preliminary funding (in other words, the project will acquire $10 million in costs before it becomes profitable). The company currently has $8.3 million in liabilities and $17.2 in assets. The company is midsized; it brings in $17.5 million per year and has 3,500 employees. Should the company undertake this project? Justify your opinion. In principle, undertaking a project involves making financial decisions that could make or break the project. How do you plan to finance the project? There are plenty of financing options, including: common stock, preferred stock, debt (many debt options), bank loans, and internal cash. Is there one financing mix that is better than the rest? Explain your rationale. Support your work with research.

Research the Internet to find out information on current rate of return on risk-free assets, beta, required return on market, and interest rate.

Make sure to meet this criteria:

Recommended whether the company should undertake the project

Explained, with reasons, how to finance the project

Supported analysis and conclusions with relevant evidence and numerical data

How are you motivated for your nursing position? Include intrinsic
and extrinsic factors and Maslow's Hierarchy.

Topic 2: Managing difficult employee situations
Nursing managers are often confronted with dealing with problem employees. To be an effective manager, it is important to apply consistent, structured disciplinary action in all situations.

Topic 3: Measuring performance improvement
Select a quality improvement initiative that you have observed or have been involved with in a health care setting. What was the measure used to demonstrate improvement? How was it measured? Was the initiative successful? Why or why not?

Topic 4: Implementing safety standards
In a 2001 report, ?Crossing the Quality Chasm? the Institute of Medicine [IOM] highlighted the quality issues confronting the healthcare industry. As a result, regulatory bodies, such as CMS and the Joint Commission have released stricter standards for patient care, highlighting issues such as fall risk, wounds, polypharmacy and hospital-acquired infections.
Explore the National Safety Goals at the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Use the standards for either Hospital or Home Care and describe how you could address/implement one of the above mentioned issues in that setting.

Topic 5: Communicating with your staff ? Holiday scenario
As a nurse manager, you wish to change the way staff on your floor sign up for holiday time off. How would you communicate this to staff? Why did you select this method?

Topic 6: HIPAA
All healthcare providers are required by federal law to protect a patient?s privacy. Healthcare workers must ensure that any communication about a patient remains confidential. Based on your readings and videos in your web resources, consider the following scenario:
A hospital staff nurse called in sick on Monday for Monday and Tuesday. Hospital policy was that nurses were not supposed to call in sick more than one day in advance. The nurse?s phone call indicated she was seen in the hospital?s own emergency room for her present illness. The nurse?s unit supervisor got the nurse?s chart from the E.R. and checked to see if the physician had excused her from work both Monday and Tuesday as she claimed. Then the supervisor called human resources to discuss what to do about an unexcused absence from work.
Discuss whether any HIPAA violations have occurred and whether disciplinary action should be conducted on anyone in this scenario. Discuss any HIPAA violations you have seen in your workplace and what actions occurred.

Topic 7: The nurse leader?s role in financial considerations
What involvement should a nurse leader have in financial decision making within a health care setting? What skills are needed to make financial decisions?

Topic 8: The nurse leader?s role in cost reduction
Identify steps that a nurse manager can take to reduce the cost of care within their unit or setting. Identify steps that can be taken to bring in more revenue. Should non nurses make these decisions? Why or why not? Should nurse managers be held accountable for budgets when they are not involved in the budget process? Why or why not?

All the articles are under the required resources.

WEEK 1 DISCUSSION

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 1 in your textbook, the Spencer (2013) and MacKenzie (2000) articles, and view the Ferguson Police Testing New, Less Lethal Gun Technology (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. and Budget Cuts Put State Prison Staffs at Critically Low Levels (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. videos.

The numerous issues that arise in large organizations regarding decision making can be difficult to properly grasp. There are those leaders who base their conclusions solely on empirical data, preferring to engage in a more quantitative decision-making process. Conversely, there are supervisors who approach decision making from a more holistic perspective, engaging in more qualitative thought processes. It is a reality, especially in budgeting and issues affecting criminal justice agencies, that quantitative decision making takes precedent. However, better conclusions are often drawn when qualitative aspects of a problem or issue are also considered.

Based on information from the required sources, compare and contrast the differences between quantitative and qualitative decision making in public finance. Based on the required videos, provide at least two quantitative and qualitative observations.

In addition to noting the differences between quantitative and qualitative observations, respond to the following elements:

Explain which basic method of decision making you feel provides the most accurate information for budget management; quantitative or qualitative.
Analyze both qualitative and quantitative-based budgetary decision making and describe your preference between the two provided you were in a position of power. Provide a rationale for your preference.
Explain the potential benefits of quantitative observations.
Explain the potential benefits of qualitative observations.

WEEK 2 DISCUSSION


Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.


Henri Fayol and Systematic Management
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 2 and 3 in the textbook and the Moynihan (2009) article, The Response to Hurricane Katrina (Links to an external site.).

Every organization within the field of criminal justice has a management hierarchy of some sort. Included among the many tasks assigned to managers are budget planning, financial decision making, and effecting personnel decisions. However, what is missing at times in criminal justice agencies is effective leadership. Too often policy makers confound leadership with management. The two can be, and often are, quite dissimilar.

In the City of New Orleans immediately after Hurricane Katrina, a variety of political and local managers and leaders congregated in the Central Business District in an effort to arrive at a consensus as to the wisest course of action. Among those present was Michael Brown, the director of FEMA, Ray Nagin, the Mayor of New Orleans, and various state politicians. No action plan could be developed as each respective politician was so focused on their own needs that they soon became blinded to effective alternatives. Added to those problems were the combined effects of serious deficiencies in communication and coordination of rescue efforts.

Consider the information provided in your required sources for this discussion and include the following elements in your initial post:

Explain the major characteristics of leadership. Describe the primary traits of management.
According to the five functions of management developed by Henri Fayol, explain the ways in which the response to Hurricane Katrina failed.
Evaluate the financial constraints that affected the situation at the time and describe which organization or individual you believe offered the most effective leadership after the storm. Provide a rationale supporting your statements with evidence from the required readings.

WEEK 3 DISCUSSION(1)

The ideas of quality assurance and control can often appear quite clear and salient with respect to corporations and private businesses. However, rarely does one hear direct conversation about these concepts concerning the functions of law enforcement and corrections. It almost seems like a misnomer to hear of ?quality assurance and control? when discussing aspects of a law enforcement or correctional organization. Despite the fact that it might appear on the surface as though issues of quality assurance and control are absent from law enforcement and corrections, the opposite is actually true.

Law enforcement and correctional agencies spend a great deal of time and money devising innovative plans to offer a better product to the general public. Programs such as community policing and problem-oriented policing are but two mechanisms through which law enforcement leaders have attempted to increase quality in their organizations. Within correctional organizations, programs aimed at mental health treatment, work programs, and educational offerings have been created in an effort to provide a better quality product.

Based on your required readings, examine how the concepts of quality assurance and control are addressed in a law enforcement or correctional organization of your choice. In your post, identify your chosen organization. Explain the issues pertaining to budgetary considerations and how those affect communication, ethics, and coordination. Analyze how the respective organization\'s leaders ensured that their agency provided a quality product to the general public. In addition, provide an example of how a law enforcement agency or correctional organization failed to provide a quality product. Describe what the agency did, or failed to do, to ensure quality control and assurance.

DISCUSSION(2)

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapter 5 in the textbook in addition to the Ridgeway (2014) article.

The practice of benchmarking has been defined as, \"a structured approach for identifying the best practices from industry and government, and comparing and adapting them to the organization\'s operations\" (Doss, 2012). Benchmarking and the noting of best practices by leaders and policy makers within the fields of law enforcement and corrections can be essential for a host of financial purposes. Organizational grants are often based on benchmarks as are policy development and training practices.

Carefully consider the information provided in your required sources for this discussion and include the following elements in your initial post:

Explain how a SWOT analysis would enable a law enforcement or correctional agency to better benchmark itself against other similar organizations.
Explain the ways a SWOT analysis would contribute to an agency\'s strategic plan.
Analyze the ramifications of a SWOT analysis and benchmarking for an organization\'s budgetary requirements.
