ecological approach

/in /by

The Premise requires you to create an outline of your selected topic and population . In health research, this is done using an ecological approach. Ecology is the science of relationships between organisms and their environment, and between the various elements of that environment. Therefore, an ecological approach takes into account the wide range of physical, mental, spiritual, social, economic and political environments that affect health and diseases. Sometimes also called a systems approach, an ecological approach is always holistic and multifactorial.

The Premise then requires a statement of the problem you wish to explore, the research questions you plan to ask about that problem, a secondary data source, and finally the positive social change that could result from your study. As mentioned in this week’s Introduction, you are required to select a topic and develop a research question for which secondary data are available.

For this Discussion, you will develop a potential topic for your Premise, and you will examine how your topic and proposed study could contribute to effecting positive social change.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Submit a 3- to 4-paragraph post that includes consideration of the following:

  • A topic for which secondary data are available that could serve as the foundation of your Doctoral Study Premise
  • The broader system or ecology of which your topic is a part
  • The ways in which your proposed doctoral study could contribute to effecting positive social change

Assignment: Environmental Forces and Trends

Environmental forces and trends (i.e., competitors, new technologies, socioeconomic, population and business factors, and changing regulations) can have a tremendous impact on the success of an organization’s marketing plan. Therefore, it is important for health care leaders to continuously assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of these forces and trends to ensure that their organizations are applying the appropriate marketing strategies. For this Assignment, you need to conduct a SWOT analysis of an environmental force or trend and consider how it might impact your own health care organization.

To prepare:

  • Select a contemporary environmental force/trend, such as politics in health care, new technological advances in health care, the impact of recession/economic issues on utilization of health care, etc. Using the Walden Library, locate and review a scholarly article that discusses this force/trend.
  • Reflect on your own health care organization. Imagine you have been hired as a marketing consultant to help guide your organization in understanding evolving environmental forces/trends that may impact marketing.

    Note: If you do not currently work for a health care organization, you may select one that is of interest to you.

The Assignment

In a 4- to 5-page report, address the following:

  • Analyze the environmental force/trend you selected. Include how the organization in the article is using the force/trend to better understand itself.
  • With your selected health care organization in mind, conduct a SWOT analysis of the environmental force/trend you selected.

    Note: Be sure to use the SWOT Analysis Template in this week’s Learning Resources.

  • Analyze how the force/trend might impact the marketing of your organization. Recommend strategies to maximize opportunities and overcome threats.

Note: Your Assignment must be written in standard edited English. Be sure to support your work with at least five high-quality references, including two from peer-reviewed journals. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct. See the Week 2 Assignment rubric for additional requirements related to research and scholarly writing.

Assignment: Marketing Health Care Services

Strategies used to market health care services are typically different than strategies used to market health care products. From intangibility to the natural inconsistencies in the delivery of services, traditional marketing strategies must be modified so that there is a greater focus on marketing relationships and quality care. Therefore, when developing marketing plans, it is important for organizations to consider the 5 I’s of marketing health services: inconsistency, inseparability, intangibility, interaction, and inventory. For this Assignment, use the 5 I’s to examine the health care service in the Aravind Eye Care System: Providing Total Eye Care to the Rural Population case study provided in the Learning Resources. Then provide recommendations for marketing the service.

To prepare:

  • Review the Aravind case study in the Learning Resources.
  • With the 5 I’s of marketing in mind, reflect on the health care service provided by the organization and its personnel.

The Assignment

In a 4- to 5-page paper, address the following:

  • Using the 5 I’s of marketing, analyze the health care service provided by the organization in the scenario.
    • Inconsistency: Is there consistency in the quality of care?
    • Inseparability: When providing the service, do providers demonstrate biases toward or against patients and their families (i.e., racial biases, age biases, gender biases, etc.)?
    • Intangibility: What are the intangible characteristics of providers (i.e., demeanor, posture, etc.)? How do providers behave toward patients?
    • Interaction with consumers: Is the organization patient-centered or physician-centered?
    • Inventory: How much time is spent on providing the service and how much time is spent on non-service-related activities?
  • Recommend strategies to market this service to health care consumers. Include how these strategies might improve operations.

Note: Your Assignment must be written in standard edited English. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct. Be sure to support your work with at least five high-quality references, including three from peer-reviewed journals. See the Week 4 Assignment rubric for additional requirements related to research and scholarly writing.

report on setting up your own business

/in /by

Description:
The purpose of this project is to help you evaluate some of the decisions that prospective
business owners need to make by setting up a business of your choice. Before you start,
however, I strongly advise that you conduct some independent research over the Internet at
the secretary of state’s office in the state in which you plan to establish your business. You can
usually start with a Google search that uses terms such as “your state name, secretary of state
corporation forms.” Your search will usually result in information for setting up business
entities in the state you have chosen. You will use this information to prepare your written
report described under the instructions.
Instructions

1. Prepare a written report that contains the following information about your new
business:
a. Name of your company/business
b. Be sure to use the proper ending in your name to show your type of business
entity, e.g., corporation, LLC, LLP, etc.
c. State in which you are forming your business
d. Brief description of what your business does
e. Explain why you selected the type of business entity you chose
f. This explanation should be based on independent research that compares
various business entity types
g. At a minimum, you should discuss the following issues:
i. Ease and cost of creation (you should be able to determine this at the
secretary of state’s website for the state in which you plan to establish
your business)
ii. Owners and ease of transferring ownership interests
iii. Liability
iv. Duration
v. How will profits be taxed
Page 2 of 2
h. A list of at least three properly formatted references
i. One of your references can be your text

2. Prepare an annotated outline of an operational document for your business entity

3. An annotated outline is more than an outline that uses key words, but not the same as a
fully completed document

4. I don’t want you to simply cut and paste a set of corporate bylaws or an operating
agreement into this component of your Final Project

5. Rather than using key words in your outline, you will write a description of what you are
proposing in outline form, but do not write the final language

6. Your operational document should address the following topics, but may include other
subjects you think are important for your business:
a. Describe the business managers/officers with subtopics concerning number of
managers, how they are elected, how they are removed, and duties
b. Meeting schedule for owners and managers with subtopics concerning when
notice of the meeting must be sent, whether actions can be taken without a
meeting (explain how), and the quorum and voting requirements for a meeting
c. General provisions related to the following topics:
i. Who must sign company contracts and checks
ii. Policy concerning gifts to various stakeholders
iii. General employment safety policy
iv. General environmental policy
v. Statement concerning ethical behavior, decision making, and social
responsibility of the company owner(s), manager(s), and employee(s)
d. This should be your own work
e. If you do use resource material to prepare your annotated outline, be sure to
provide properly formatted references
