Assignment 2 Suggested Length: 750 to 1000 words Ethical Theories to Apply: Utilitarianism and Universal Ethics 1. Task You work in the Ethics Department for ABC Company (ABC). Your department is dedicated to advising its employees about their ethical obligations in the corporate setting. You are an internal consultant who provides advice and most importantly, recommendations for action to employees of the firm. All communications you receive in this capacity are confidential. Luke, an employee of ABC, comes to you with the following scenario and asks for your advice. He wants to fully consider the situation. Your task is to advise and recommend a course of action based on the specified ethical lenses and facts as given. Below are the facts that Luke provides to you. ***** Luke has been asked to work on a project that involves developing land recently purchased by ABC to build an adult entertainment retail store. According to the plan, the land is located on the corner of the neighborhood where Owen, Luke’s brother, lives. Luke knows that as soon as the plans for the store are made public, property values for the surrounding neighborhood will decrease significantly. ABC plans to publicly announce the project one month from today. Luke is concerned about his obligations of confidentiality to his company. However, Luke is also very close to Owen, who recently told Luke that he received an offer to sell his house at an “okay” price given the current real estate market. Owen is considering selling but hasn’t made any final decision yet. He wonders if he might get a better offer a few years from now when the real estate market improves. What is the ethical issue, why is this an issue, and what should Luke do about it? ***** For assignment 2, prepare a memo, setting out your analysis and recommendations, that considers ONLY the following two theories: Utilitarianism and Universal Ethics (i.e., Kant’s categorical imperative). 

What criteria or needs determine the type of health program or initiative that will be implemented? How might health care administrators identify the needs of their target audience or community when planning health programs or initiatives?

Formative evaluation processes aid health care administrators in determining the needs of a target audience or community. The identification of these needs, in turn, help to outline the type of health program or initiative that is to be developed. Once the needs and type of health program or initiative are identified, health care administrators can then determine how best to install this type of health care service and to determine measures that might be used to gauge the success or effectiveness of the service, once installed. Engaging in formative evaluation is a critical tool for the health care administrator and is a process that you will most likely encounter in practice.

For this Assignment, review formative evaluation processes in the resources for this week. Then, consider how formative evaluation might be used to develop your marketing plan. Reflect on how you might include formative evaluation methods in the design of your health care services marketing plan and consider why this might be important for the practice of health care administration.

Note: The completion of this Assignment will consist of the elements necessary for Component 6 of your Final Project.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

• Describe two examples of formative evaluation for health programs that you might use in your marketing plan.
• Describe how you will include formative evaluation methods in designing your health care services marketing plan and explain why.

Assignment 3b: Analysis on the Threats Defense Argument

Due in Week 10 and worth 100 points

The information you provided in your PowerPoint presentation on Threats to the Global Environment has led to productive debates at the United Nations General Assembly! Hence, they are now asking you to create an additional analysis report to respond to the issues raised in these debates.

Your fourth project as a consultant for the United Nations is to develop a report that addresses the issues raised by some of the member states of the United Nations.

Step I. Consider the Issues

In Assignment 3a, you were asked to create a PowerPoint identifying the four most critical threats out of eight threats provided in the table below. 

Energy sources 

Civil war

Globalization

Poor health of entire populations

Lack of educational opportunities

Cultural taboos 

Inappropriate uses of technology

Climate change

There are four remaining threats that you did not discuss in your PowerPoint. This assignment will focus on two of those four. Here are the specific tasks you will complete:

• Review the remaining four threats that you did not use in Assignment 3a.
• Pick two of the four to focus on in Assignment 3b. 
• Identify the reasons why you think these two threats are less critical than the four threats you chose for your PowerPoint presentation. 

Step II. Prepare Your Report 

The UN has given you the following guidelines. 

Introduction

Briefly introduce the topic of the analysis (about 100-150 words). 

1. State the topic and intent of the paper. 
2. Identify the two threats you will discuss in the paper in the order in which they appear in the paper.

Section I. Threat 1

1. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.
2. Write one page giving three reasons that explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in Assignment 3a. 
3. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources.

Section II. Threat 2

1. Write an opening statement describing the perception of the threat.
2. Write one page giving three reasons to explain why you saw this threat as less critical than the four you chose for your presentation in Assignment 3a. 
3. Support these reasons with at least three credible sources. 

Conclusion

• Offer a summary (one page or less) of your defense of your choices that the United Nations can use to address their prioritization concerns.

Formatting Requirements

• Your paper may consist of up to four pages (not including the cover or reference pages). 
• Create headings for each section of your paper as follows: 
  • Introduction
  • Threat 1 (include the name of your chosen threat)
  • Threat 2 (include the name of your chosen threat)
  • Conclusion
• Use and cite four to six credible sources in your analysis. You may use the same source for more than one threat as long as you use a minimum of four different sources. A list of potential resources is available at the end of this course guide.
• Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines; refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference. 
• Include a cover page with your name, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor’s name.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is as follows:

• Examine the factors that account for why the growth in the world’s population can negatively affect the global society. 

Topic #1 – Designing Training to Motivate Learning

How can training be designed to motivate learning and accommodate trainee differences? Consider learning styles, adult learning theories, and motivation. Use at least two resources from the class.

Topic #2 – Your Motivation to Participate in Training

What is your motivation for participating in training and applying training to your job and future development? As you develop your answer, consider need-based theories, process-based theories, and intrinsic vs. extrinsic factors.

Please answer both questions 

4 pages

Find and interview two people who have managed organizational change, or who have been directly involved in change implementation. Design a “topic guide” for your interviews.

Using the empirical research article that your instructor approved in the Week 5 assignment, ask yourself: “Is this a quantitative research article or a qualitative research article?” Remember, in quantitative research, the emphasis is on measuring social phenomenon because it is assumed that everything can be observed, measured, and quantified. On the other hand, in qualitative research, it is assumed that social phenomenon cannot be easily reduced and broken down into concepts that can be measured and quantified. Instead, there may be different meanings to phenomenon and experiences. Often in qualitative research, researchers use interviews, focus groups and observations to gather data and then report their findings using words and quotations.

Consider how these different methods affect the sampling design and recruitment strategy, and ask yourself how the recruitment of research participants will affect the findings.

For this Assignment, submit a 3-4 page paper. Complete the following:

• Read your selected empirical research article, and identify whether the study is a quantitative or qualitative study. Justify the reasons why you believe it is a quantitative or qualitative study. (Your instructor will indicate to you if you are correct in identifying the research design. This will point you to whether you will use the “Quantitative Article and Review Critique” or the “Qualitative Article and Review Critique” guidelines for the final assignment in week 10.)
• Using the empirical research article, focus on the sampling method in the study and begin to evaluate the sampling method by answering the following:
  • Describe the sampling methods in your own words (paraphrase, do not quote from the article).
  • Describe the generalizability or the transferability of the research finding based on the sampling method.
  • Discuss the limitations the article identified with the sample and how those limitations affect the reliability or credibility.
  • Explain one recommendation you would make to improve the sampling plan of the study that would address these limitations in future research.

Trait Theory suggests certain individuals have innate characteristics or traits that may assist in particular leadership situations. Researchers in the field have identified specific traits necessary for effective leadership. As a future leader in health care administration, it is important to know how particular traits may impact effective leadership. 

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources to highlight the strengths and limitations of Trait Theory of leadership. Select an effective leader/health care administrator to use for this Discussion. Think about the traits of the leader you selected. Consider how useful Trait Theory is in assessing the leader’s effectiveness.

Post a brief description of the leader you selected and two of his or her essential leadership traits. Then, describe two strengths and two limitations of Trait Theory. Finally, explain the usefulness of Trait Theory in assessing the effectiveness of the leader you selected.

In this discussion, You will be Partner 2 that represents the citizens in a community and will argue against the broken windows theory.   Debate why the broken windows theory should or should not be implemented. Make your own argument in favor of your assigned position in your initial post.
