Critically analyze an industry of your choice and identify the leading players, preferably in a specific country and evaluate the drivers, processes, systems, and strategies that this particular company is employing to foster disruption.

Disruptive Innovation

Various sectors have been affected by disruption. The disruption manifests in several ways- but technology has been one but certainly NOT the only driver. Some of these have been from new disruptors in the market that have driven meaningful change. However, some incumbents have been at the forefront of disruption and making fostering a significant impact for themselves and their customers. As you are aware, most academics and practitioners have been slow to recognize this and build an understanding.
To that end, you are required to critically analyze an industry of your choice and identify the leading players, preferably in a specific country and evaluate the drivers, processes, systems, and strategies that this particular company is employing to foster disruption.

To do so, you will have to:-
Determine and select the interpretation of disruption- One option is to use the criteria adopted by Bartman 2015- and his team at Harvard – see link for reference [you may select other interpretations] – https://hbr.org/2015/05/teslas-not-as-disruptive-as-you-might-think (Links to an external site.)
Select a sector/ industry preferably in a single country or Economic Zone, for example, the European Union [EU], and then a company that operates within it. Publically listed companies will offer more data for analysis (They are required to publish their information- financial performance, strategy direction, etc)
Use evidence-based assertions to support your analysis to support your recommendation.
To address this- rely on the theoretical aspects and practical insights covered in class and through further research
You must acknowledge the strategic direction the business is currently undertaking, the market dynamics, trends, and several other variables
To achieve the above, you will develop a 3000-word report that can be used by practitioners and academia. Therefore, the right blend between theory and practice must be used.

Obesity Bias

What would you say to the nurse who told Mrs. L, “I am sure that delaying your lunch until we get you settled won’t hurt you a bit?” How can the nurse who made these statements improve her biases: “Isn’t it sad that all she can seem to focus on is her lunch? She needs to be on a strict diet.”

Extra Credit Article Summaries

The purpose of this assignment is to write a summary on a news article or video about microbiology, microorganisms, or diseases caused by pathogens (virus, bacterium, protist, fungus, or helminth). Make sure to find and summarize your own articles – do not use the same article as another student, and do not copy from others. Each Summary is worth up to 6 points added to your lowest test grade.

Articles must be a news piece no more than 3 months old, and must have a length of at least 250 words. A news video must be at least 1.5 minutes. A general educational summary or encyclopedia-style article will not count – it must be current events news. Do not use articles posted or covered by the instructor.

Summary Format
Put the title, date the article was published, and source of the article as the heading of your summary.

First Paragraph: In 50 to 75 words, write a summary of the article. Describe what subjects the article talks about, but keep it concise!

Second Paragraph: Address the following questions: 1) “How is this information relevant to me?” and 2) “How is this information connected to microbiology content studied in class?” There is no word limit for this paragraph, but try to keep the entire abstract at 1-2 pages.

Bottom: Put the web browser URL of the article or video at the end. Double check the URL; if the article can’t be found, the abstract can’t be graded. You may wish to save a copy in case there is a problem.

How to Find Articles
When searching, use general terms if you get too few choices and specific terms if you get too many
News Web Sites: The Health and Science sections of Google News (news.google.com) are useful sites for current news. Reputable websites that post news articles should be used. Good examples are USA Today, ABC News, Reuters, Associated Press, WBTV, Charlotte Observer. Do not use newsletters, reviews, personal essays, social media, and websites that are unprofessional or ‘sketchy’.

CCC’s Summon Tool: Go to http://clevelandcc.summon.serialssolutions.com This will take you to a page where you can type in what you are interested in, and pull up articles from multiple sources and databases. Can use on campus or off campus with username and password. Click on and download the articles you want to use. Be sure you save the complete article URL.

 

Define the term thoroughly, in your own words. Explain the importance of the term using evidence. Discuss how the term affects living things and the physical world.
