The current trends and changes in the industrial/organizational (I/O) profession will be addressed in this assignment. The impact of these changes also drives how the industrial/organizational (I/O) professionals will help leaders drive change in their organizations. With these changes, leaders will need to understand what challenges they must overcome when managing the change within the organization. In addition, the specific tools that a leader can use to help overcome these challenges will be learned.

Choose one area of change your organization is currently going through and address current challenges and tools or recommendations you can use to overcome the challenges to change management.

In your response, answer the following:

Describe three current trends in the industrial/organizational (I/O) profession.
Describe how these trends change how the industrial/organizational (I/O) professionals will help leaders drive change in their organizations.
State one current change your organization is experiencing.
Identify the challenges leaders must overcome managing this particular change.
Provide recommendations and identify specific tools the leaders of your organization can use when implementing change.

1. M&D Chemicals produces two produces two products that are sold as raw materials to companies manufacturing bath soaps and laundry detergents. Based on an analysis of current inventory levels and potential demand for the coming month, M&D’s management specified that the combined production for products A and B must total at least 350 gallons. Separately, a major customer’s order for 125 gallons of product A must also be satisfied. Product A requires 2 hours of processing time per gallon, and product B requires 1 hours of processing time per gallon. For the coming month, 600 hours of processing time are available. M&D’s objective is to satisfy these requirements at a minimum total production cost. Production costs are $2 per gallon for product A and $3 gallon for product B.

To find the minimum-cost production schedule, formulate the M&D Chemicals problem as a linear program.

(i) Based on the solver report for this question, write total profit, the amounts of Product A and Product B. (15 points)

(ii) Based on the solver report evaluate constraints status whether binding or nonbinding. (10 points)

(iii) Based on the sensitivity report explain the meaning of shadow prices of constraints and reduced costs of variables. (15 points) This is the question for extra points.

1. Jack produces toy soldiers and trains. The selling prices are $27 for a toy soldier and $21 for a toy train. In order to produce a toy soldier, the cost of raw material and labor are $10 and $14 respectively. On the other hand, for production of a toy train, the cost of raw material and labor are $9 and $10 respectively. For each soldier, Jack spend 2 hours for polishing, and 1 hour for carpentry. For each train, he spends 1 hour for polishing, and 1 hour for carpentry. The available amount of raw material is unlimited, but considering that Jack, who can use polishing up to 100 hours in a week and 80 hours for polishing in a week. Additionally, he can sell maximum 40 toy soldiers in a week.

(i) Based on information for this question, construct linear programming model writing objective function and constraints manually. (20 points)

Assignment 2: Discussion—Ethics and IPR
IPR protect drug companies from others making their products without the expense of investing in research and development. IPR also enable drug companies to recoup research and development (R&D) costs by charging more for a drug than the marginal cost of producing it.

One result of this strategy, however, is that unless a company can charge enough to cover the costs of R&D and production, it has no incentive to develop and produce a drug; no matter how important that drug may be to certain populations, for example, the poor in third-world countries.

What ethical dilemmas does this situation pose for drug companies?
Do other types of companies face similar dilemmas?
In addition to the readings assigned for Module 4, identify and read two to three other articles on professional ethics and the concept of intellectual property.

Analysis Group Paper  This week you will begin a group paper that you will develop over the next few weeks. By Day 3 of this week, you will be placed in a collaborative group and provided with a work area for your group (See the Groups area below Week 11 in the left-hand navigation bar. If you do not see your team area by the end of Day 3, contact your Instructor.)    Before you begin to work with your group, read the information below describing the paper. Then join your group, introduce yourself, and begin work on selecting a topic.    To prepare:  · Within your group, select a topic relevant to interprofessional leadership and the health care field on which to focus your group paper. The following are some potential topics for your group to consider:  o Matrix organizations  o Accountable care organizations  o Horizontal and vertical organizations  o Role conflict and ambiguity  o Employee recruitment and selection  o Interpersonal relationships in the C-suite of organizations (the relationships between the CEO, CFO, and CNO)  o Resistance to change  o Succession planning  o Whistle blowing  o “Just” culture  o Team Stepps  · When your group has selected a topic, the group facilitator will submit the topic to the Instructor for approval on the Discussion Board in the Week 5 Group Project Topic Forum.  · Conduct research on your topic using the Walden Library and other credible sources.    To complete:  As a group, write a 3- to 5 (page count does not include title and reference page) page paper that includes the following:  · Section 1: Introduction  · Section 2: Significance of the topic (based on literature that speaks to the relevancy of the concept selected in terms of interprofessional leadership)  · Section 3: Review of the literature related to the concept that the group selects (current best practices, positive or negative impact on leadership or health care organizations, etc.)  · Section 4: Application to nursing (e.g., implications or consequences for nursing leaders)  · Section 5: Conclusion
