TO CONFIRM….BEFORE READING THE ASSIGNMENT, I WANT YOU TO DO THE 4-6 PAGE PAPER INSTEAD OF THE VIDEO. THE SECOND ASSIGNMENT STAYS THE SAME WHICH IS THE POWERPOINT. SO I NEED THE PAPER AND POWERPOINT DONE.

As you have explored in this course, ongoing challenges in the global business environment are mostly attributed to unethical business practices, failure to embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition among businesses. Imagine that you have been appointed as the Chief Compliance Officer of a Fortune 500 company of your choice and must prepare a presentation for your suppliers regarding your Supplier Code of Conduct to deliver via a web meeting.

This assignment has two parts. For the first part, you are to create a five to seven (5–7) minute dynamic video on your company’s Code of Conduct. You may use any type of recording device you have to create this video—smartphone, laptop, webcam, or other type of video recorder. The specific points to cover for this video are listed below.

As an alternative to the video, you may submit a four to six (4–6) page paper that details what you would say in such a presentation following the same prompts as the video assignment below.

For the second part of the assignment, you will create a presentation using PowerPoint (or other equivalent software) summarizing the important changes and explanations regarding the code of conduct that you communicated in your video/paper presentation to email to the suppliers after the meeting for future reference. The specific points to cover are listed below.

You must submit both parts of the assignment to receive full credit.

Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app.

Once you are ready to upload your video to Blackboard, view the Kaltura video tutorial found in your online course shell (Week 9). Please use the following naming convention in the popup window for your video once it is finished uploading:

Part 2: PowerPoint Presentation
Create a six to eight (6–8) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

1. Summarize your chosen company’s Supplier Responsibility information.
2. Discuss your company’s stance on each of the following areas:
   • Empowering Workers
   • Labor and Human Rights
   • Health and Safety
   • The Environment
   • Accountability
3. Identify the key ways that your company’s Progress Report has changed since last year.
4. Examine the manner in which your company’s Supplier Code of Conduct helps the organization operate as a socially responsible organization.
5. Provide detailed speaker notes of what you would say if you were delivering the presentation.
6. Submit a reference page with at least three (3) quality references from the past 2 years that you have used for this presentation / paper. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.
   1. Tip: A good place to look for references is at the Strayer Library – research.strayer.edu
   2. Here is an introductory video on the library and how to use it: Online Library Resources at Strayer University.mp4

Your PowerPoint presentation must follow these formatting requirements:

• Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide and three to four (3–4) relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, etc.), ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and readable from 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a title slide containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The title and reference slides are not included in the required slide length.

Specific Library Resources to help you get started

The Strayer University Library is accessible at research.strayer.edu.

A general introduction to the Strayer Library is available in your course shell on the left-hand menu under Research-Library.

• Introductory Search – Use the home page’s search box to keyword search many, but not all, databases.
• Targeted Search – Scroll to the bottom of the page for an A to Z listing of all databases. Float over each link to see a description of the database and click to load that particular database’s custom search page. Custom search pages include both basic and advanced search options.

These databases are only partially searchable through the general search bar. You will have to search them individually to find resources for your paper.

• Nexis Uni – This contains legal information and would be useful to search for court cases in which your company has been involved.
• Video Explaining Nexis Uni
• Mergent Online – This has company info on both public and private companies. Fortune 500 can be public or private. Mergent is known for financial and accounting info, but also has qualitative information too. They offer news feeds, country reports on business environments, industry-wide reporting, company reports, and Annual Reports—the middle 3 are unique to this database. Starting with looking at a company’s annual report would be very useful for this assignment. Industry reports would also be useful to see if your company is involved in any industry-wide initiatives or is notable in its industry in any way (could be good or bad.)
• Instructional Videos on each of the databases:
  • Library Databases – Mergent Online
  • Company Research – Annual Reports and 10-Ks
  • Company Research – Industry Reports

American City Business Journals – This is probably the most fun way to read business news by metro area. They have over 35 journals based around US cities. Look up the metro area your company is associated with, go to ACBJ, then choose the applicable city, and search for news articles.

Research Starters are like the academic version of Wikipedia. Search on a topic to get an overview with links to other information within that topic. It will help you get ideas for keywords for your own searches and what you need to know in order to successfully write your paper.

• Library Databases – Research Starters Instructional Video

Note – This is an exception example. Research Starter articles do appear in a feature box above the results list when using the general search box on research.strayer.edu.

Don’t stress over writing papers! Watch this video on writing papers and essays. Topics include how to start your research, how to organize your research, how to draft your paper, and how to revise it.

Background Information

The working bibliography is not an exhaustive search for information on your topic, only those sources in the early stages of your research that you feel might be useful in the construction of your applied hr management capstone project. It is not necessary for you to use all of the sources of your working bibliography in the final narrative of your project, nor are you limited to those sources in your working bibliography to be included in your narrative, as you will continue to conduct research throughout the six weeks of your capstone’s preparation.

Note that the working bibliography is a separate document submission and is not to be included as a component of your final document submission for the applied hr management capstone project. It is graded separately as a step in the process, as a way for you to initiate the research necessary to complete the required component sections of the applied hr management capstone project.

Instructions

1. Develop your “Working Bibliography” according to the information contained in the Applied HR Management Capstone Project Outline.docx, as guided by the Sample Working Bibliography.docx file.
2. Each bibliography entry is to include: (a) complete APA reference; (b) block indent abstract (article or report), summarized introduction or description (book), and (c) a brief paragraph identifying how the article will support your capstone project, with varied inclusions that will be supportive of the Capstone Project, such as: direct quotes, theories, concepts or practices; a biblical reference; name and page number of a bulleted listing, table, or other illustration. See Sample Working Bibliography.docx.

An architect provided design services to a contractor who was building a retaining wall for a developer. The contractor selected a proprietary retaining wall system utilizing precast, prestressed concrete modules to be assembled into a crib wall and reinforced earth type retaining structure. The retaining wall system vendor provided sample calculations to the architect as an example of how to design the wall, but the method included errors. The architect used the calculation method provided. After the wall was completed, during heavy rains, a portion of the wall failed.

Was the architect negligent? Did the architect fail to uphold the Standard of Care? Why?

Read the following articles from the EBSCO host database:

• Covall, M. (2005, January). Medicare prospective payment comes to psychiatric hospitals. Behavioral Health Management, 25(1), 54–57.
• Oss, M. E. (2005). What’s next for managed behavioral health. (Cover story). Behavioral Health Management, 25(6), 11-14

You should also search the Internet to further learn about additional factors that influence the business model of behavioral health.

Your paper introduction (one page) should include the following points:

• An overview of the research paper
• The purpose or objective of the research paper

The body of the paper (four to six pages) should address each of the following topics using information learned in the course, in combination with outside references:

• In today’s healthcare scenario, are behavioral health services viewed as a profession? How? Is behavioral health service different from the rest of the healthcare industry? If yes, how? If no, why?
• Describe the main reasons why behavioral healthcare may be reimbursed differently than any other healthcare services, in general. What factors need to be addressed based on the population served? Utilize your course and text readings to support your answers.
• What are some of the challenges faced by behavioral healthcare providers who operate in a managed care environment? What are some of the areas of conflict between behavioral healthcare providers and managed care? Which amongst these conflict areas do you think is the most crucial, and requires immediate attention, and why?
• Will the managed care environment be able to support the services required to provide effective residential treatment? In your opinion, what will a residential treatment facility need to continue providing effective treatment while still being able to get reimbursed, especially through Medicaid or Medicare services? (You can use the the CMS.gov Web site to get more information on these topics.)

Your conclusion (one page) should include the following points:

• What conclusions can you draw from your research that would demonstrate the role played by managed care in the behavioral health industry?
• If you were a manager of a behavioral healthcare organization, what changes would you bring to your ways of doing business to meet the consumers’ needs while still being able to be reimbursed for the services provided to the consumer?
