Module 2 – PESTLE

 

Scenario

Effective change plans are created by understanding several external factors influencing an organization, including p olitical, e conomic, s ocial, t echnological, l egal, and e nvironmental, or PESTLE, forces. Experienced executives carefully examine PESTLE forces to identify major opportunities and threats and then adjust their organizational change strategies accordingly.

Previously, you informed the VP about potential reasons why an organization fails to change and suggested ways to avoid them. Now, you have been asked to analyze the situation and recommend a change management plan to the VP. As part of your analysis, you need to evaluate and report to the VP about workforce change readiness and external forces that may affect the change management processes in the organization.

Prompt

Identify social and technological factors that can affect change readiness in an organization. Consider how these factors may influence the employees at the U.S. branch of the Singaporean software solutions provider. Then, write a report explaining your analysis to the VP.

Specifically, you must address the following criteria.

  1. Explain how social factors influence the change requirement of the organization.
    • Use the to identify social factors and refer to the for data about the U.S. branch.
    • Which social factors will significantly influence the change requirements of the U.S. units workforce?
    • How will social factors influence change readiness in the workforce?
    • How will you visually present and emphasize social factors depicted through demographic data?
  2. Explain how technological factors influence the change requirement of the organization.
    • Use the PESTLE Forces Guide to identify technological factors and refer to the U.S. Branch Overview for data about the U.S. branch.
    • Which technology factors will significantly influence workforce planning and training requirements?
    • How will technology factors influence change readiness in the workforce?
    • How will you visually present and emphasize technological factors depicted through demographic data?

Guidelines for Submission

Submit a Word document using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. This assignment should be 12 pages in length and include references cited in APA format. Consult the for more information on citations.

distinctive aspects of Mayan, Aztec and Incan agriculture

Please write 250-300 words, on the following: 

Topic: Describe the distinctive aspects of Mayan, Aztec and Incan agriculture. Identify lessonsgood or badthat contemporary agricultural systems might take from these different forms of agriculture. You may want to consider what climate might benefit from any of these techniques or identify a crop that might be suitable for these ancient techniques.

Healthcare Staff

APA format-intext citation, references include, 1 page

While the US healthcare system represents around $3.5 trillion in annual spending and is the largest single sector of the overall economy, it also sits inside larger “macro trends” that help define the landscape of jobs. 

Factors to consider: globalization, the state of the general economy, the rapid pace of innovation, digitalization of medicine and genomic technology, and demographics of the U.S. population (e,g, aging population, and higher healthcare utilization) and changing values and beliefs.

So what difference do all these big changes mean to us?

The answer is both obvious and complicated. I will answer the obvious part and leave the complicated part to you to explore. 

The obvious answer is that these big changes are changing the way we live our lives. Just think; it was not that long ago that classes on the internet were considered unusual or suspect. And now, such classes are the norm. 

The obvious part is that such factors as globalization, the economy, technology, an aging society, and changing cultural values are all working together to change pretty well everything that used to be — into something else. 

The hard part — and the part you need to think about — is what do all the changes really mean for healthcare? Not only what skills will you require in the future, but who will you be hiring and what role will they fulfill?

If we think that healthcare professionals will continue to do exactly what they are doing now over the next ten years then we are not paying attention to how much the work world has already changed from the way it was ten years ago (does anyone remember when you couldn’t text?).

So…

How will healthcare systems evolve to best leverage a global job market for their services? 

What will a growing share of healthcare dollars mean to the healthcare workforce in a stagnant or slow-growing general economy?

How will smartphones or other technologies create new jobs in healthcare? 

Will genomic research eliminate certain diseases by modifying a person’s DNA? What ethical issues might this raise? How this change will affect the workforce skill and volume demand? 

How will the massive chronic care needs of older people create new career opportunities? 

What new jobs may be created to best meet new consumer demands for more patient-focused care? Less institutionalization of the elderly? And better access to culturally appropriate caregivers? 

So what do you think? What human resources needs are you likely to be encountering and managing — in ten or so years? Consider the questions above but develop your answer based on your own ideas and supporting evidence to present.

Please follow the student guide! You must go through the entire video…do not skip!!!!!

Pay very close attention all the way through the video to the end and take notes.

Please use one page and create the following list, table, and summary:

 1. List the following abbreviations: 

     FDA, 

     OTC, 

     ADE, 

     HCP, 

     CDER,

   Again, this is a list!

   Next, do two things: A.) State what the letters stand for, and

                   B.) Briefly describe the entity and activities directly related to the abbreviation 

 2. Make a table and list different members of the family and then in corresponding cells state:

     who took what kinds of drugs, why they were taken, and the dosage.

3. Please write a brief two-paragraph response. In the first paragraph describe the video. Then discuss it as an interactive learning tool for different age groups, and then, in the second paragraph, clearly state and then discuss your opinion of ways you feel the tool promoted your learning and then clearly reflect on the process and take a stance related to the effectiveness of this interactive video in your learning! 

Again, I only want three things: a list, a table, and a response.

Leadership impact on organization performance

 Overview: Rather than writing a full-length literature review for your topic, you will practice developing your theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic in this assignment and then develop your literature review funnel for assignment 7.2.                             

  • The purpose of the theoretical framework is to tie the dissertation together. As the researcher, you should approach the proposed research from a theory or set of theories that provide the backdrop for the work (researchers do not create theory; they use established theory in which to embed their work).
  • This section should describe how this study will relate to existing theories and discuss how the methodology being used in the study links to those theories
  • The theoretical framework justifies the methods you plan to use for conducting the study and presents how this research will contribute to the body of knowledge and/or practice. Further, it describes the context within which to locate the intended project and suggests why doing such a study is worthwhile.

Directions:

  1. Review the attached sample for format.
  2. Develop a 1 page (more is fine) theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic.  Consider (but do NOT directly answer) the following questions when you write your theoretical framework:
    1. Is the theoretical foundation strong?
    2. Are the theoretical sources apparent?
    3. Are they appropriate for the topic?
    4. Do they need further explanation?
