Problem Jenkins Consulting is a company operating in the domestic market and providing organizations and companies with consulting services needed to improve the performance of the business management and the effectiveness of business operations of any kind. The company has about 200 offices across the country and requires assistance in the process of expanding its operations abroad. One of the companies located in London requires full-scale consulting services from Jenkins to launch the new project. It is a large project that should take up to 2 years. Jenkins needs to relocate the chosen specialists to the UK for the time the project is to be developed and implemented. The problem that Dale Kugar, the HR director of the company, has two significant sub-issues. The first issue is the compensation plan that has to be used by Jenkins to provide the ex-pats with fair compensation for their efforts abroad. The difficulty occurs because of the UK’s internal economy processes and dollar/pound exchange course that is unfavorable to the dollar. The second issue is the potential impact this assignment may produce on the careers of the chose specialists. These consultants will be far from the decision-makers that can influence career growth, so they have reasonable doubts regarding this assignment. Options The following three options can be proposed to choose from. Option I is to evaluate the potential trends that can influence the economic situation in the UK, create a compensation plan based on these trends and assumptions, adding an extra 20% to the future salaries of the specialists. As for career growth, it is necessary to promise these consultants that in 2 years, Jenkins will open the office in London, and they will be promoted to the executives. Option II is to connect the salaries with the current economic situation in the UK and adjust compensations according to the upcoming changes. The promotions should be discussed after the completion of the project individually according to the results of the project. Finally, Option III is to send the consultants to the UK with their current salaries and without any promises about promotions and career future. They need to perform the duties that Jenkins delegated to these consultants in any setting and environment. Recommendation After careful consideration, Option II has to be chosen. The reasoning is as follows. Option I is too optimistic, and it can be cost-ineffective. Option III is too discouraging, and the specialists will not work in full, and they can even sabotage the project, disrupting the company’s image
Learning Objectives   * To understand socialization in nursing profession and its impact on the outcome of healthcare practices.   * To know the responsibilities and values of nursing professionals in the context of socialization.   * To identify ways through which socialization is achieved in nursing as a profession.   * To determine avenues and skills through which professional nurses can help new practitioners in the field to integrate fully in the duties. Socialization in a Profession Socialization in a profession refers to the process of insights and skills acquisition, and getting to identify oneself with area of specialization. During socialization, learners get to develop traits, beliefs, rules, attitudes and standards which are essential for his or her success while on duty (Masters, 2018).

Rainmakers are elite financial advisors who offer customized financial services, which depend on their client description. The article explains teachings offered to veteran and rookie rainmakers on how best to handle their current and prospective clients (Boswell and Nichols). They mainly target rich baby boomers whose major concern lies in individual health, family health, financial health and spiritual health. These prosperous clients need personal contact, full disclosure, regular subjective revelations based on an understanding of their family or particular condition. Moreover, they value expert guidance, timely and compressive financial advice, as well as careful asset allocation. Thus, rainmakers must ensure their words match their action and fulfill the expectations of the wealthy clients, by acting more and speaking less (Boswell and Nichols). The article echoes well with the course content because it focuses on the issue of management choices. It explains how the firm spreads the knowledge of its partners to ensure that they remain well poised to handle any changes in market expectations. It handles aspects of strategic management by offering a discussion on how a financial advice firm targets a client niche and remains competitive. It explains how the firm passes competition-sensitive knowledge within its different ranks of employees or shareholders, to ensure the long-term sustainability, and why this is critical. I chose this article because of its relevancy today; it explains a scene affecting baby boomers. Moreover, it captures a growing position of providing personal financial advice at a personal level. Most baby boomers have reached their retirement ages and are seeking to cushion their earnings (Rodgers). Although they have the wealth, they are concerned about associated financial risks and notably shy away from big firms whose management they do not understand. In a way, they are choosing to rely on ethics, which is more visible in smaller firms than big ones (Rodgers). This article explains how the management of a small firm, whose veteran and rookie partners readily mingle, would enhance their product offering by concentrating more on the fulfillment of their customer wants in a made-to-order way. The article was good. The writing captures the task of management to ensure that the firm’s knowledge increases and perpetuates all staff levels to increase their overall competitiveness. It also offers a background, which informs the reader and allows better comprehension of its recommendations. The article is succinct because it offers key i
Introduction Change management can be said to be a structured shift of individuals and organizations from a current operating state to a future desired state. Change management plan can therefore be said to be a process aimed at aiding employees, management, stakeholders and the organization at large to embrace and cope with changes before and after its implementation in their work places (Cummings & Worley, 2006). Two people who have greatly contributed to the development of change management process are John M. Fisher and John Kotter. These individuals have developed change management models. The John M. Fisher theory seeks to address how peoples tend to respond to change and also identifies eight key stages that people go through upon introduction of the change. The John Kotter’s change model on the other hand seeks to identify key steps needed to make change successful (Filicetti, 2007). This paper focuses on Imperial Law Firm, an organization that has just shifted from a past paper filing system to a computerized one. The firm’s management chooses to interlink both the John M Fisher and the John Kotter models of change management plan to help their staff go through the change process in the smoothest way possible (Filicetti, 2007). They held a view that Fisher’s model would help the change management agent understand the people’s feelings while Kotter’s model would provide key steps necessary for the change to be effective and successful. Change Management Plan Analysis for Imperial Law Firm Change is inevitable and all should be ready to embrace it whenever it arises. Any organizational change is aimed at improving the prevailing conditions and the performance of the organization (Phillips, 1983). Change should therefore aid an organization to cope with developing trends of competitors as is the case with Imperial Law Firm. Communication is also an important aspect of a change management plan (Fisher, 2005). Leaders should communicate their vision honestly to their juniors and also point out the benefits of doing so. John Fisher in his model insists that change should not be imposed on people. It is therefore vital that the change agent listens to the people to understand their fears and concerns with regard to the change. The change agent together with the management of Imperial Law Firm discussed with their employees the importance of using a computerized filing system as compared to the paper filing system Fisher’s model also emphases that Training of workers prior to implementing the change equips them with skills to enable them work efficiently even after effecting of the changes. The Imperial Law Firm thus contracted a local computer college to provide in-service training for the employees. It is cheaper to train the existing workers rather than hiring new ones (Marshak, 2005). This boosts the people’s confidence that they are ready and that they will be able to cope and withstand the changes with time. John Kotter in his model states that a good change management plan should also evaluate future expectations bound to arise as a result of introduction of the change. Imperial Law Firm ev
Introduction Historic role of women . Women had different roles in the American history becoming less powerful or more independent while female roles in the domain of health care changed dramatically with the shifting roles in society. As women gave birth to a child, they had to carry out this very function as well as women that worked as midwives though physicians had more power and authority due to their gender and education which was not available for women. Biases and medical treatment of epidemics . Diseases were treated in accordance with the medications and means available at the time. As such, high mortality rates were typical for women in childbirth until surgeries and antibiotics came to the midwifery. However, it is necessary to analyze the problem of biases and roles assigned to women with the help of psychiatric issues. Lisa Appignanesi takes a historical approach to analysis of the women’s role and treatment of female patients in such domain as psychiatry. “As the discipline of psychiatry developed, diagnoses of mental illness became a means to enforce women’s adherence to certain social norms.” 1 Mad women underwent operations on their genitals; these interventions were claimed to be effective for women’s mental health; as such, operations were widely practiced. Mad and Depressed Women in America Women and their roles . The role of male and female patients was absolutely the same in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in America unlike the role of women in medicine where they were only given the functions of midwives. “Aside from reproductive issues, women and men were diagnosed and treated similarly.” 2 Steven Johnson in his book The Ghost Map (2006) mentions women only as nurses that took care of the diseased people in the period of the horrible epidemic. 3 Women as patients . Satisfaction received from life can be the reason for depression if an individual receives less satisfaction than he/she was expecting. As suggested in the study by Norval D. Glenn and Charles N. Weaver, “Education allegedly can enable individuals to live richer, more interesting, more satisfying lives.” 4 In addition, the researchers analyzed satisfaction levels of white and black males and females to learn what aspects in life make them happier and lack of which makes life more difficult. As a result, women are reported to perceive the overall domains as essential while health was claimed to be the most important aspect for all categories surveyed. As such, health can be considered an integral part of human life bringing people happiness and satisfaction. Healthcare and women . Women were not treated as good physicians or as physicians if at all until the early twentieth century. During the twentieth century, female physicians took the health care domain and became prevalent in it performing all the functions that were earlier assigned to male physicians. Though female nursing staf
Executive Summary This presentation highlights different aspects of my firm. The Headhunting firm would be located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Having discovered that most companies need qualified people to work for them, my firm would conduct recruitment activities on behalf of other firms seeking to fill vacant positions. The firm would carry out a thorough interviewing process in order to select suitable, highly qualified candidates with the capability to perform duties assigned to them effectively. The firm would therefore offer quality services to other firms that would like to hire employees. Key Partners For any business organization to succeed and run its activities effectively, business partners are important. This creates the need to invite key partners who assist in provision of specific goods and services. The company would require other companies to provide web design and IT services. They would also be mandated with the responsibility of maintaining the website and supplying it with vital data. In addition, the company would require websites like Monsters.com to provide data on human resources. Job boarders like LinkedIn would also be crucial. These are basically the key partners that the company would require. Key Activities One of the most important activities that the company would carry out is to find executives for potential employers. This would be done through human resource websites and job boarders. This method would be helpful to the company since it would reduce costs. Reduced costs would consequently lower commission rates, something that would increase the competitiveness of the company. Marketing would also be an important activity of the company in order to inform potential clients and employers about its products. Social media is an effective marketing tool hence the company would combine it with verbal messages to promote its activities. Another important activity that the company would perform is carrying out interviews to get the best candidates to fill vacant positions in other companies. Key Resources The firm would use two important resources in order to carry out its activities. The first resource that would be of great importance is the firm’s website. Advancements in technology have made it convenient for firms to communicate with their potential customers and enlighten them about services provided through their websites. The second important resource for the firm is its information database. This would ensure that clients are provided with high quality services due to availability of adequate data. Value Proposition The company would concentrate on value proposition by ensuring that it hires candidates with the right professional attributes for other firms. This would enhance credibility of my firm among potential clients. Value proposition would also be achieved through charging lower commissions as com
Introduction Virtual Reality Tourism has its roots in the vastly intricate and complex computer system that is more widely known as Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality is a computerized graphic image that represents an area of space that exists in reality. Such representations were originally used for military training purposes before it was adapted by airline industries for training of commercial pilots. Eventually, the program founds it way to video games, medical procedures, and more recently, the tourism industry. A virtual reality can be created not only on a computer screen but in rooms as well. These rooms are known as “immersive theatres” or “immersive walls” and use 8-24 feet long screens to fill the peripheral vision of the person. This is not to be confused with desktop reality that is used in computer games in 3D. Main Text In order to understand what Virtual Reality Tourism is all about, we first need to understand what it means. Virtual Reality Tourism is a concept of a place and time that is based within a virtual world, or rather, a computer based simulated environment whose purpose is to promote interaction between users who interact via avatars. A Virtual Reality Tourism concept is something that is based upon 3 dimensional graphic representations and auditory and touch stimulants. In the world of v
Article Summary The selected article for this discussion is “Reducing Racial Health Care Disparities: A Social Psychological Analysis” by Louis Penner, Irene Blair, Terrance Albrecht, and John Dovidio. Within the past six decades, the United States’ health sector has recorded positive achievements such as reduced mortality rates and improved medical outcomes. However, the authors of the above article indicate that pervasive disparities continue to exist between Black Americans and Whites. For example, African Americans have been observed to have around 20 percent higher death rates than those of Whites (Penner, Blair, Albrecht, & Dovidio, 2014). This predicament associated with increased levels of racial bias has resulted in poorer health outcomes in the country. Evidence has suggested that the decisions and perceptions made by many physicians and caregivers tend to create disparities in the provision of health care. The article offers several reasons to explain why racial bias has remained a major challenge in the targeted sector. The authors indicate that any form of discrimination makes it impossible for practitioners to establish meaningful communication channels with targeted citizens. Consequently, the disoriented provider-patient relationship has continued to affect the health outcomes of many people in the United States. The article also reveals that implicit bias portrayed by many physicians discourages many citizens from minority races from seeking adequate medical support. It is therefore evident that this kind of malpractice is against the existing code of conduct for clinicians and physicians (Mathur, Richeson, Paice, Muzyka, & Chiao, 2014). The misbehavior has been used to explain why the level of professionalism exhibited by many medical professionals has reduced significantly. The authors have gone further to examine and analyze different solutions that have been implemented to reduce this kind of disparity. The first one has been for physicians to offer services without focusing on the race of the targeted patient. The second approach revolves around the use of an effective strategy to transform the country’s healthcare delivery system. Unfortunately, such initiatives have been counterproductive. This means that evidence-based strategies can be implemented in an attempt to deal with the current disparities making it impossible for many citizens to receive timely and high-quality medical services. Penner et al. (2014) encourage healthcare professionals to minimize disparities by promoting patient-centered care delivery and communication systems. Individuals seeking medical services should also be encouraged to embrace the power of self-affirmation practices. Additionally, the use of relational communication can ensure that positive patient-physician alliances are established in every medical facility. Standardizing treatment is something that has the potential to minimize racial disparities (Penner et al., 2014). This is true since the
Introduction CHIP, or Children’s Health Coverage Programs, are low-cost or no-cost insurance options available for children residing in the United States. The health of children is vital to the continued well-being of the nation, and as they do not earn money and their parents may be unable to supply the necessary funds for full coverage equivalent to that of an adult, CHIP provides an affordable option without compromising quality. This essay investigates the options available to residents of Virginia, discusses possible lacking services, and elaborates on the promotion of the services. CHIP in Virginia CHIP programs are typically segregated based on the family’s income. This division is the case in Virginia as well, with two options available for parents to choose from. The Virginia-specific program is known as FAMIS and is open to families that are below a specific income limit. It includes a variety of services, such as vaccinations, doctor and hospital visits, numerous care options, and prescription medicine (“FAMIS,” n.d.). It does not come with enrollment costs or monthly premiums, although some services will require a co-payment. The program’s materials are available in a variety of languages, including traditional Chinese and Hindi. Medicaid, also known as FAMIS Plus in Virginia, remains an option for lower-income families. According to “Medicaid” (n.d.), it comes with all the services offered by the regular FAMIS, but also provides access to the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment program for children. The program is available to adults as well as children as long as they meet several eligibility criteria. People with incomes that are considerably higher than the Federal Poverty Level may still receive limited coverage. Information about the program is available in the same languages as that about regular FAMIS. Possible Additions Both FAMIS and Medicaid cover a broad variety of services, particularly dental care, which is critical to children as their teeth develop and grow. However, insurance does not include several options that can become necessary for a child. In particular, the programs make no mention of surgical attention should it become necessary. Furthermore, while the programs mention hospita
Introduction Nowadays, we live in the world, in which the most of the leading countries declare the supremacy of law based on the democratic values and the human rights. However, the discussions of the problem of the human rights protection are still urgent in the society. The cases of their violations do still occur in the modern world. The aim of this essay is to discuss the problem of human rights in the USA and all over the world. The Definition and Explication of the Human Rights Various organizations as well as the individual scholars explain the term of the human rights from their own point of view. Many of them describe it in context of the issues actual for the society of their native countries. The United Nations Organization proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 1948 (“Universal Declaration” n.pag.). The document was signed one year after the end of the World War II, when the mankind was concerned about the recovery of the social well-being and about the prevention of the repeat of the terrible events of the WWII in the future. The document laid the foundations of the law protection of the human rights. The first article of the Declaration states, “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood” (“The Universal Declaration” n.pag.). The text of the document supports the highest human values and encourages people to behave ethically in relation to each other. However, we know from history that the simple declaration of the human rights is not enough to make the society free from the bias, hate, and violence. The racial discrimination in the United States was the obvious example in this respect. The decades were necessary to overcome it. The activity of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), which is responsible for the protection of the human rights in the United States, is based on the following key principles: striving to learn the truth and state the facts, takin
