Main Discussion:  As Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss in Chapter 5: Climate Change, reputable scientific studies continue to show that the Earth is warming at an unsustainable rate because of a rise in the release of CO2 and methane gases. 

Task 1) What is the relationship between population increases and climate change? 2) Discuss possible benefits and/or negative consequences of intentional governmental control of an individual or couple’s decision to have children. 

Task 2) From the “World Bank 2020 List of Developing Countries” (See Course Info) or use internet address, https://www.isi-web.org/index.php/capacity-building/developing-countries?Itemid=167 select two (2) developing countries (that might interest you for the Week 4 Assignment).  Post the names of those two countries of the countries you have selected (to this discussion). 

Throughout this course, you have considered the value of developing a health care services marketing plan and have determined the relevance of this process for the practice of health care administration. As you refine your skills for developing health care services marketing plans, you will be able to define, develop, and implement health programs, initiatives, or offer health care services. In addressing the needs for your target audience or community, your organization or agency will be better poised to offer effective health care delivery.

For this Final Project, review the components you submitted throughout the course and reflect on Instructor feedback. Then, revise the components and consider the short- and long-term implications of your health care services marketing plan.

• Component 1 (submitted in Week 2)
• Component 2 (submitted in Week 4)
• Component 3 (submitted in Week 5)
• Component 4 (submitted in Week 6)
• Component 5 (submitted in Week 7)
• Component 6 (submitted in Week 8)
• Component 7 (submitted in Week 9)
• Component 8 
  • In 1–2 pages, explain the short-term and long-term potential impacts of the health care services outlined in your health care services marketing plan.

Be sure to provide 10 to 15 references to support your entire health care services marketing plan submission.

As the HR manager, prepare an overview of how to improve upon the use of Internet advertising for employees. Remember that recruiting must be viewed strategically and tied to HR planning.

3. Where might one find (or collect) the raw data for this metric? How would you implement tracking this metric in an organizational dashboard/balanced scorecard?
4. What, if any, potential difficulties might create challenges in tracking this metric?

metrics
