For Part 1 of this assignment, you will develop a potential topic and locate supporting literature.  The topic is “Integrating High Reliability in Healthcare”    Conduct research using the CSU Online Library to locate three peer-reviewed academic sources that have been published within the last 5 years (attached). Sources chosen should be those you find to be the most relevant and valuable to your topic.   Write a brief introduction explaining your research topic, including a discussion of your research question and hypotheses.   Create an annotated bibliography for your three sources.   Summarize why these sources are important to your upcoming research paper.        For Part II of this assignment, you will design a research plan on the potential topic that you have chosen. You will NOT conduct the actual research; rather, you will simply provide a written plan as if you were going to prepare to conduct the research.          Provide a design specification for your research project. The purpose of the design specification is to set out a detailed plan of the method or methods you have chosen to investigate your research problem.          Next, include the elements below in your research plan.     Explain the research topic and research questions.   Describe the appropriate hypotheses.   Describe the methods (e.g., nature, number of observations/data generation instances).   Provide operational definitions of variables/evidence.   Describe your subject selection and the sampling procedure/rationale for participant recruitment.   Provide stepwise data collection/generation procedures (number your steps).   List the instruments used.   Explain the method for addressing reliability (as applicable).   Indicate your method of analysis.   Detail any ethical considerations for your study.        Support your research plan with two scholarly resources (in addition to those used in part I).          Combined, Parts I and II of this assignment must be at least eight pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.      

Part I: For your first case study, review Creating Synergy in a Four-Generation Workplace (attached).

Evaluate this case, and respond to each of the following prompts. Use both theory and practical managerial thinking as well as supporting research. ·

• Do you believe the description given for the generation your group represents is accurate? Please state the evidence that supports your answer. 
• Do you believe the descriptions given of the remaining three generations are accurate? Please state the evidence that supports your answer.
• Do all people see life from the perspective of the generation they were born into, or are there other factors that shape life perspectives?
• Are personal values, perspectives, and behaviors influenced more by generational cohort (peers) or by parents, extended family members, and teachers who hail from different generations?
• Discuss tactics that can be used to address performance issues in different age groups.
• What challenges do employees face regarding diversity and inclusion?
• How do world events, technology, and trends shape generational perspectives?
• Is the generation gap something that has always influenced work relationships, or is this the first time in history that four generations are present in the workplace? Does this amplify the effect of generational differences at work?

Part 1 of this assignment should be at least two pages in length. You must use at least two credible sources (other than the case study source) to support your analysis.

Part II: For your second case study, review Southwood: A Case Study in Recruitment and Selection (attached).

Evaluate this case by responding to each of the following prompts. Use both theory and practical managerial thinking as well as supporting research.

• Summarize the source and type of employee turnover.
• Discuss the reasons for vacancies at Southwood School.
• Explain the benefits and challenges of employee separations.
• Outline a recruitment and retention strategy for Southwood School focusing on the process, recruitment and recruitment selection tools, employee separations, performance appraisal, and training and development.
• Classify the recruitment and retention strategy using Miles and Snow’s two major types of business strategies. Support your classification with citations and rationale.

Part 2 of this assignment should be at least two pages in length. You must use at least three credible sources (other than the case study source) to support your analysis.

Case studies are an essential learning strategy in business classes; they provide an opportunity for you to critically analyze events that have taken place in real-life businesses. This develops your critical thinking and research skills as you research the competition and industry in which your business resides with an end goal of formulating a recommendation for the challenges faced by the company. The case studies in this course are aligned with The Society for Human Resource    Management Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BoCK). They address the key functional areas of human resources (HR) and human capital management.         Part I: For your first case study, review PAC Resources, Inc.: A Case Study in HR Practices. To access this document, navigate to the Terms of Use for Students webpage, and click on the button at the bottom of the page to agree to the terms    and conditions. Once you are on the Student Workbooks webpage, scroll down to the Strategy section, and select the link for “PAC Resources, Inc.: A Case Study in HR Practices (attached).” To access the case study, select the “student workbook” link.    Evaluate this case, and respond to each of the following prompts using both theory and practical managerial thinking as well as supporting research.    Identify the human capital problems that PAC Resources is facing specific to its functional area, as classified by the SHRM BoCK.    Generate solutions to the problems you identified, and apply HR best practices.    Develop a plan for implementation that increases overall organizational effectiveness.    Anticipate and address legal and ethical problems that may occur with implementation.    Part 1 of this assignment should be at least two pages in length. You must use at least two credible sources (other than the case study source) to support your analysis.         

Part 2: For your second case study, you will review Religious Discrimination and Racial Harassment: What Ever Happened to MarShawn DeMur? To access this document, navigate to the Terms of Use for Students webpage, and click on the    button at the bottom of the page to agree to the terms and conditions. Once you are on the Student Workbooks webpage, scroll down to the Employment Law section, and select the link for “Religious Discrimination and Racial Harassment: What    Ever Happened to MarShawn DeMur?” (attached) To access the case study, select the “student workbook” link.    Evaluate this case by responding to each of the following prompts. Use both theory and practical managerial thinking as well as supporting research.    Describe specific discriminatory situations Maalick encountered in the workplace.    Explain the broader ethical and legal implications of the situation for Treton.    Locate three peer-reviewed empirical research studies (quantitative) published within the past 5 years focused on the    two discriminatory situations identified in the previous prompt. Identify the author(s), and paraphrase the purpose of the    study, research design and methodology, theoretical framework, research findings, and future research    recommendations. Synthesize the research findings of the implications on the organization, teams, or individual    employees.    Create a plan of action to reduce or prevent discrimination in the workplace.    Develop a Nondiscrimination/Equal Employment Opportunity Policy for Treton.    Part 2 of this assignment should be at least three pages in length. You must use at least three credible sources (other than the case study source) to support your analysis.    You can access a Sample Case Study from the CSU Writing Center to assist you when constructing your case studies. Do not use the question-and-answer format; rather, use the essay format demonstrated in the sample case study. Use section headings to delineate topic transitions. Cite to support conjecture.    The title and reference pages do not count toward the listed page requirements. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this entire assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is    needed.

Think of a potential research topic that is appropriate for quantitative research. Explain if this topic would be more effectively investigated using a nonexperimental approach, quasi-experimental approach, or an experimental approach. What differences are there among them that would prompt you to use one approach over the other? Explain and support your response.
