management analysis target

/in /by

Introduction: Introduce the firm, it’s background and recent history. Do not provide too many unnecessary details about the company’s history, etc. Provide some summary of the firm’s financial performance over the past five years and how that performance compares to its competition. That performance should include gross and net profit margin and stock price and how all three compare to key competitors in the industry. From this and more qualitative data, evaluate your general sense of how the firm is performing. This should take approximately two pages with any graphs or tables you create placed in the appendix.

SWOT Analysis Conduct a high-level SWOT analysis of the firm, based on information that is not more than a year old. At this stage a solid but not extensive analysis is expected. Your SWOT analysis should take up about two pages and should provide more than a thumbnail sketch in a table.

Problem statement: Combine the most critical points from the Introduction and SWOT analysis to define a problem statement. The problem statement should summarize the essence of what the firm is facing as a critical issue or issues. Clearly indicate the specific points from your SWOT analysis that lead to this problem statement. Be pragmatic in your identification of a critical problem statement with due consideration to data availability. Do not just state profitability, growth or survivability as the critical problem because its not specific enough. Argue why the selected problem is critical in terms of its impact on profitability, growth or survivability. This should take about one page.

philosophy paper 62

/in /by

Thinkers in the Medieval Period were preoccupied with problems surrounding the existence of God. Avicenna took up the problem of the necessity of God’s existence. He solves the problem by resolving a series of issues surrounding it. Our reading this week provides a good explanation of his proof and does so in only one and a half pages of text. The shortness of this argument provides us with a good opportunity to examine a complex philosophical argument and to judge its effectiveness. The author of our text explains the argument step-by-step, and shares with us both the difficulties with each step and the insight it provides.

Avicenna - Ibn Sina

What insights do the steps provide in our understanding of God? Can you think of any arguments that would counter Avicenna’s claim?

Submission:

  • Must be a minimum of 1 1/2 pages with standard 1-inch margins in Times New Roman or Garamond font.
  • Must be double-spaced.

***Comment this***

Continuous quality improvement is the responsibility of all nurses. This process aims at addressing issues such as the quality of care, patient safety, and cost of care (Helbig, 2018). Thus, quality improvement initiatives can be implemented on a daily basis all the way from the bedside to the boardroom. One thing that is for sure is that we live an age where healthcare is consumer-driven. That means the issue of patient satisfaction is of great importance.

Among the suggestions pointed out by the Institute of Medicine 2001 report is customizing care according to the needs and values of the patient (Helbig, 2018). This is one area that I think I could have significantly helped in my previous job. Providing care that is respectful and responsive to the unique needs of every patient is very crucial. Hence, one of the ways through which I could improve the patient‘s satisfaction by conducting a spiritual assessment. The United States is a melting pot of different cultures. Hence, it is very likely for a nurse to come across a patient with a different culture or religion. Identifying those values and beliefs held by the patient is crucial in providing care that is sensitive and responsive to the spiritual needs. However, talking about spiritual issues with a patient has always been a problem. This because sometimes the worldviews held by the patients differ from ours. Hence. Nurses avoid this sort of discussion to avoid creating an uncomfortable situation. However, as the evidence demonstrates, addressing the patient’s spiritual needs is critical in improving patient satisfaction and overall healthcare outcomes (Zehtab & Adib-Hajbaghery, 2014).

2 pages and a half paper

Part 1: This module proposes a variety of rather interesting modern statistics on women in the workplace. Among these statistics include the notion that women currently outnumber men in higher education, occupy nearly half of all management positions, and a quarter of CEO positions despite still being underrepresented in high-end roles in both industry, politics, and military.

  • In your own experiences and/or anticipated work setting, do you believe women are/will be equally-represented as well as men in terms of status, power, and position?
  • What are some steps that can be taken in order to maximize the impact that women have in the workplace? Be sure to use a combination of both your own experience, opinions and of course support from the course materials when addressing this prompt.

Part 2: The concept is self-efficacy is discussed as a core component of empowerment. Take the attached (and validated) measures for both self-efficacy as well as self-esteem. Do you believe these measures to be an accurate representation of yourself? Do you believe this information could be useful for leaders to possess? Regardless of your opinion, be sure to elaborate as to how and why you believe in your stance.

Notes:

  • For Part 2, refer to the attachment measure questionnaire
  • I would like to use the power point slides and book for referencing, external references are accepted too.
  • APT, Time New Roman, 12 points, and double-spaced
  • 2 – 2.5 pages without counting references (references should be in a separate page)

discussion criminal profiling

/in /by

While many cases have evidence that provides clues to the offender, some cases leave investigators with no apparent information at all. In these situations, criminal profilers are often assigned to the investigation. In many cases, the developed profiles may help detect, apprehend, and convict the offenders. There also are situations where the profile of an offender might be off the mark. As a result, it is important to bear in mind that while criminal profiling might be useful in tracking down offenders before they commit another crime, profiling should not be viewed as being 100% accurate. Much of the success of profiling hinges on whether profilers accurately identify key characteristics of offenders, such as age, race, gender, and lifestyle. Missing the mark on these characteristics might lead investigations down the wrong path and ultimately allow offenders to inflict additional harm on society.

For this Discussion, search the internet for violent offenders, and choose two. Consider how criminal profiling might have been effective in earlier detection and apprehension of the violent offenders you selected. Next, consider specific factors that might be important to include in a criminal profile.

  • Describe the two violent offenders you selected.
  • Include a citation for at least one article, website, video, or another source for each violent offender you selected.
  • Explain how criminal profiling could have been effective in earlier detection and apprehension of each violent offender.
  • Describe at least three factors for each violent offender that might be important to include in a criminal profile and explain why for each.
