Differentiate between global companies that acknowledge risk and those that do not

/in /by

Today’s marketplace and economic situation are moving too quickly for global companies to be merely reactive when it comes to their risk management capabilities. Risk management is now becoming a means of supporting growth and future development. Global organisations that are able to master a range of integrated elements – involving risk management in key decision-making processes, putting in place leadership with board-level visibility and infusing risk awareness across the organisation – are creating the means to differentiate themselves from the competition.
You are required to search the Online Library and web for any risk management articles that discuss the concept of risk management. (Please see https://catalyst.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/CAT.18.0197 and use this article as a reference.)
Evaluate the problems of:
1. managing the people side of risk
2. creating a powerful risk culture without turning the organisation upside down
In addition:
1. differentiate between global companies that acknowledge risk and those that do not
2. identify five techniques that could be used to mitigate risk
How the above can be used to sustain a proactive risk management culture?. Learners are required to search at least 3 or 4 academic articles and identify all sources/sites used.

Evaluate the proposed ideas. What should Mr. Stevens do?

Operation Management: Read the case and answer the 2 questions.
The H&S Motor Company assembles a single model motor from purchased kits. Each kit contains
enough material to make one motor. The 20 workers produce a total of 100 motors per day. Each
worker cost $20.00 per hour (including all benefits). The factory is open 50 weeks a year, 5 days per
week, 40 hours per week. The kits cost $40. Due to accidental damage during assembly, they use an
average of 102 kits per day. Capital costs are $1200 per day (cover all costs besides labor, materials and
managers salaries). The company has three managers (including Mr. Stevens, the owner). Each manager
costs $60,000 per year. H&S sells motors for $120 each.
Mr. Stevens, the boss, has been given three ideas for improving his operation.
1. Hire a purchasing manager. The marketing manager has suggested that they hire a purchasing
manager. A purchasing manager will be able to buy the same materials as those in the kits in
bulk. In bulk the materials will only cost about $36 per kit. Two additional workers will be.
required to sort the materials. These materials handlers would cost as much as other workers.
The purchasing manager would be paid the same as other managers.
2. Buy improved machinery. A vendor has shown Mr. Stevens a new assembly jig that would mean
that 20 workers would be able to produce 112 motors a day. Each of the workers would need a
jig, since worker assembles a full kit. Each jig would raise capital costs by $20 per day.
3. Improve procedures. One of the workers has shown Mr. Stevens a new procedure that would.
reduce the chance of damage during assembly. If all of the workers used this procedure, they
would use an average of 101 kits per day. Adopting the procedure would mean taking one hour.
for the worker who suggested to train all the other 19 workers. No motors will be.
assembled during this training period. This training only needs to occur once.
Question:
a. Evaluate the proposed ideas. What should Mr. Stevens do?

b. What assumptions do we need to make to complete this analysis?

What types of things would lead you to decide that evacuating the patients is necessary?

/in /by

Please analyze the ethical considerations and team-based approach to leadership by reading the brief case study below about a hospital in a flood and making decisions to mitigate the circumstances.
In August of 2007, the patients and staff at a hospital in Dyer, Indiana, experienced rising waters from excessive rainfall. As such, an evacuation took place to protect everyone inside St. Margaret Mercy Hospital. Evacuations sound easy enough; however, they can be a bit tricky if the plan does not account for all of the important factors. In this case, 70 patients of the hospital had psychological difficulties, which prevented them from being able to effectively care for themselves. For example, the patients’ charts indicated descriptors such as suicide risk, severe depression, high levels of anxiety, and lack of proper medication.
Using the foundations of this event as a learning platform, the challenge to address for this case study is how to effectively evacuate 70 dependent patients from a hospital by using ethical decision-making and a team-based approach to leadership.
Consider each of the following details as you describe how you would effectively manage such an emergency as a leader:
What types of things would lead you to decide that evacuating the patients is necessary? (You can address ethical decision-making.)
Where would you place the patients? In other words, what would serve as your evacuation shelter? Be sure to explain why this would be an effective evacuation shelter by describing the location and its surroundings.
How would you transport the patients and their medication to the evacuation shelter?
Who would monitor the patients at the evacuation shelter?
How would you apply team-based leadership in an emergency like this (e.g., interagency collaboration and cooperation)?
Compile your answers in a three-page case study. Use APA 7.0 style to format the paper, with headlines, and make certain to include a title page. You are expected to conduct research for this assignment by including at least two references on a reference page. The research should focus on ethical decision-making and team-based leadership. NOTE: All sources MUST be US or Canadian based.

Based on your analysis, what are the general solutions and suggestions? And why they are important?

/in /by

In the form of a memo, review this case: “This American Life The Right to Remain Silent, Part 2 http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/414/right-to-remain-silent” and form a managerial decision or policy solution (classical approach or human relations school approach. Has Compstat been worth it? Should it continue?

The memo should contain the following criteria:

1. Start with a short opening paragraph that summarizes the problem and briefly describes why this problem matters. (1 paragraph)
o What is the central dilemma or problem in the case?
o Think why it matters (or why this is an issue in your opinion)

2. After identifying the problem, analyze the case. (2-3 paragraphs)
o Think about linking a (specific) case to a (broader) theory. Use a well-understood theory as a lens to look into a practical case.
o Focus on/use case detail to support your claim and to show causal process in action. Good arguments usually require a close and insightful reading of the case.
o Use readings as warrants: readings will be employed in a way that strengthened your argument. For example, if you identify leadership problems in a case and you would like to make a good claim why they matter and how to resolve the issues, you will need to rely on leadership literature (aka. readings in leadership) to support your argument. In doing so, it will help you to generalize your arguments.
o You must take account of the pros and cons of the approach you are recommending, supporting your answer with evidence from the case and theoretical insights from the readings.
o Suggest general solutions based on your analysis.

3. Provide a short conclusion that restates why you come to that conclusion. (1 paragraph)
o Based on your analysis, what are the general solutions and suggestions? And why they are important?
o What does it mean for public managers and policymakers (generally practitioners)?

Throughout this course, you will work in a CLC group on a strategic case analysis project. This project consists of different parts you will complete each week that build on each other.

Go to the Strategy Club website and review the Sample Strategic Plan for Colgate-Palmolive (2019) under the student resources section. This sample strategic plan is an example of what your completed strategic case analysis should look like at the end of the course.

Every strategy will have associated costs. Determining how to provide enough necessary capital to adequately cover the projected costs is one of the more critical steps required to keep firms competitive. For each of the following parts, use your CLC group’s Strategic-Planning Template.

Part I: EPS / EBIT Analysis

Prepare an EPS/EBIT Analysis for your CLC group’s company by doing the following:
