Introduction

Highly effective leaders need to be able to develop and communicate their vision to their followers. This discussion is designed to help you develop your visionary skills.

Tasks

Formulate a vision for your organization and communicate it to your classmates. If you are currently not working in a healthcare organization, formulate this vision for your organization. If you are not working, use this discussion to communicate your personal vision. In doing so, be sure to include:

• The organization’s or your mission
• Your vision for the organization or for yourself
• Your vision of where the organization or you will be not only in reference to healthcare but also in other industries

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed at 500–1000 words as noted in the attached PDF. Submit your document to this Discussion Area by the due date assigned. Be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

Respond to your classmates throughout the week. Justify your answers with examples, research, and reasoning. Follow-up posts need to be submitted by the end of the week.

Application: Design-Build

Floods, storms, landslides, earthquakes, and many other types of natural disasters can leave an affected area without the ability to evacuate or to receive needed provisions. For example, transportation was severely limited on the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina due to the destruction of major highways and bridges. Several communities became “islands” due to the destruction of these bridges. Because people could not leave or receive needed materials and goods, a different approach was applied to re-building the highways and bridges there.

Design/Build was the process used, and this provided for the quick rebuilding of three major bridges. This process contrasts with Design/Bid/Build and combines the design, permit, and construction into one overlapping process. Design/Build involves hiring the same designer/contractor to oversee a project’s design, bid, and construction. This process was so successful in Mississippi that the first bridge built, the St. Louis Bay Bridge, won an America Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Transportation Award in 2007. Might this same process be applied to disaster recovery when re-establishing communication, business and industry, housing, and human services?

To prepare for this assignment:

• Review Chapter 9 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, and think about challenges to organizational learning in crisis management and how you might address them.
• Review the article, “What is Design-Build?,” and focus on the strategies involved in the design-build model and the challenges that might be presented by it.
• Think about the importance of keeping cultural and social justice considerations in mind when developing a design-build model.
• Use the natural disaster you chose for Week 8 or choose a different one, other than Hurricane Katrina, and research the demographics for the area where the disaster occurred. Think about the various cultures involved and challenges there might be regarding languages or traditions.
• Review the article, “Design-Build Effectiveness Study,” and think about how the concept of design-build can be applied to the natural disaster you chose.
• Review Table 9-2 in your course text, Crisis Management in the New Strategy Landscape, and think about the new learning areas related to the natural disaster you chose.
• Keep the natural disaster you chose in mind as you review the article, “The Dirty Dozen: Twelve Failures of the Hurricane Katrina Response and How Psychology Can Help.” Think about ways to avoid the failures presented in the article.
• Review the discussions related to grief and loss in Chapter 12 of your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, and think about how they might impact the survivors of the natural disaster you chose.
• Review the article, “Social Justice Advocacy: Community Collaboration and Systems,” and think about related issues as they apply to the natural disaster you chose.
• Review the PBS video, “The Journal: Katrina Recovery Gone Wrong,” and think about how programs like the STEPS program might effect design/build strategies.
• Consider ways to incorporate cultural and social justice consideration solution strategies into your design/build plan.

The assignment: (4-6 pages)

• Briefly describe the natural disaster you chose. Be sure to include a brief description of the demographics of the area and references for information used.
• Describe ways you would address multicultural and social justice issues related to rebuilding and recovery.
• Describe and justify “design/build” strategies for the natural disaster you chose.

PART 1: Read this article, “In Sneaker Wars, It’s Also Curry (Under Armour) vs. James (Nike)”, on the use of celebrity endorsements in the competition between Nike and Under Armour. Think about a time when a celebrity endorsement influenced you to buy a product. In the discussion thread, describe the following:

1. The product and the celebrity endorsing it
2. How the endorsement influenced your decision to buy the product

 Question: Thoroughly discuss the Internal recruiting.(in Human Resource Management)

 discuss the chosen topic.

 prepare a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 5 slides per student not including the cover slide and the reference slide. Every slide needs to include 100 words in the Notes section. 

 You must use at least one reference, in addition to your book. You need to use in-text citations. Your in-text citation and your reference (on your reference slide) must be in APA format. 

Please respond to the following:

• Compare and contrast the major similarities and differences between tacit and explicit knowledge. Then, determine the two most effective and the two most ineffective dissemination mechanisms in a virtual learning environment for each type of knowledge. Justify your response.

In your opinion, determine the most challenging aspect of a physician’s role as the administrator of a group practice. Justify your response.

Module 6: Discussion Forum

Briefly explain the role the international human resources function played in the pre-work phase, due diligence phase, merger phase, and post-merger phase of the two companies, Marel and Stork, detailed in Chapter 8 (Edvardsson & Danielsdottir, 2012). Then create a “best practices” human resources tip for each of these phases that demonstrates a key factor or perspective that human resources must take into consideration when seeking to successfully bring together two vastly different companies.
