...Final Business Proposal: Healthcare Kiosks Nephateri White ECO/561 October 12, 2015 Nancy Irizarry Healthcare Kiosks Intro- The healthcare industry is an industry that has endless possibilities as far as innovation is concerned. This is why I think that improving the whole kiosk movement would be worth the capital for hospitals, pharmacies and other medicinal clinics to use. Not only are these industries taking advantage of kiosks, but so are colleges and universities to better help aid students. Kiosks have been introduced throughout the US as early as 2010 for the healthcare industry to utilize for patient check-ins and/or dispersing some medicines to patients. Let’s further discuss how this could be beneficial to the market. Market Structure- It is said that this is a new age for healthcare kiosks. So many people are adept to new and constantly changing technology. The health care industry is one that has proven to be recession free in terms of the business cycle stages. Unaffected by catastrophic events due to the industry making more in dividends and excelling in marginal revenue (Wunker, 2013). Healthcare self-service innovators such as Allscripts and Fujitsu, Clearwave, Nova Medical, HealthAsyst, MedHost, and Interior Health have turned to KIOSK’s custom design expertise to bring new patient check-in solutions to market (Kiosk, 2015). KIOSK’s ability to leverage modular design efficiency and integrate highly custom peripherals has provided these clients with...

...Market Equilibration Process Lindsey Brito Prof. Boloorian ECON/561 LDR531 Market Equilibration Process The United States of America is essentially a free market economy, because it is facilitated by supply and demand within our society. Although, America is essentially a free market there is still some government regulations put in place to guarantee fair practices. A true free market would mean that buyers and sellers would conduct their business without any government regulations. A free market that we all see and experience is the automaker market. Numerous automakers are in constant competition to ensure that their product is outperforming the other products on the market. The automakers industry is facilitated by supply and demand. For example when we saw automobiles featuring things such as, the rearview camera, blind spot check, and so on, initially in the luxury cars. Now all automakers have innovated to create new features to compete with other automakers. Another example of how efficient and innovative automakers can be is, with the demand for automobiles with better fuel efficiency; we are now seeing cars from mid-size to SUV’s with exceptional fuel efficiency. All this innovation was done without any government regulations or mandates. Now we have American automakers competing with foreign automakers in regards to the features and fuel efficiency that each automaker is introducing into the market. When gas and oil prices began to rise, we then saw...

...Business Proposal Lindsey Brito ECON 561 Professor Ali Boloorian Business Proposal Until recently the United States health care system relied immensely on private health care insurance. In regards to public programs that provide medical coverage for the rest of Americans who cannot afford health care, there are two prominent public programs within the United States; Medicare, which is a federal social insurance program that caters to seniors. The other primary public program is Medicaid which is aimed more towards certain disabled individuals. Both Medicaid and Medicare are funded by the federal government but are managed at the state level. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed by congress and signed into law in 2010 by President Obama. The main objective of ObamaCare is to ensure the affordability and quality of healthcare, the Affordable Care Act Bill is also anticipating to curb the growth in healthcare spending in the United States (Obama Care Facts, 2014). Healthcare in the United States has historically been a private for profit industry, but with the emergence of Obamacare that is likely shift the market a bit. The prices of healthcare are tightly controlled and many practices are considered to be unfair. Only those who are able to afford insurance are the ones who are able to seek and obtain quality healthcare. For those who are unable to afford insurance and are successful in obtaining it through public programs such as, Medicare and or...

...Will Bury Business Proposal Econ/561 March 2, 2011 To: Whom it May Concern From: Will Bury Date: March 2, 2011 I have gathered you here today to discuss the future of my company Will Bury’s Digital Books. My company’s structure is monopolistic competition, which mean as demand increases, prices decrease. To make any profits, I have to make sure that my product is in demand (Halmos, 1995). After that, it is in my best interest to determine ways to increase revenue, minimize cost, profit maximizing quantity, concepts of marginal cost and marginal revenue, pricing and non-pricing, barriers to entry, and product differentiation. The things I have listed will ensure the success of my company. Increase Revenue and Minimizing Cost Increasing revenue and minimizing cost is what we strive to do as an organization. Many things considered in the process of creating a plan to increase revenue and minimize cost. I believe that I first need a budget to be set so I do not overspend; therefore, I will minimize cost because I will not spend any unnecessary money. One way to cut cot is to do just in time processing; orders are produced when orders are complete. This will prevent overstock. Instead of hiring a high school graduate or overseas staff, my plan is to partner with local colleges and getting some interns. I can get interns to work free; this will cut cost and ultimately increase revenue and minimize cost. Minimizing my variable cost is also away to minimize cost and increase...

...Business Proposal-Will Bury Through the current economic condition, remaining competitive and growing profit is essential to sustaining a vital business. Mr. Will Bury has developed proprietary technology that will allow him to convert printed text into a digital format for reading, or audio for listening. Since Mr. Bury holds the patent on his digital and audio converting technology, his company fits the criteria of a monopoly. In addition, he is not clear on how to market or price his product, (University of Phoenix, 2003). This proposal will endeavor to provide essential ideas for improving revenue, attaining ideal production levels, regulating fixed and variable costs to maximize profit, and finding methods to lower costs. Current Fixed and variable cost: Currently, Mr. Bury has fixed costs that include a portion of his mortgage and utilities, (his business operation is out of his home). His variable costs include royalty fees for copyrights of book titles, his time, and any resources he uses to transform the text and place them in a digital and audio format. In order for Mr. Bury to maintain his lead he must constantly improve the technology of his product. Furthermore, Mr. Bury will need to employ additional employees to run the transformation process. They will also assist in seeking, and safeguarding the company copyrighted information and resources suitable for conversion. While this will increase his variable costs, it will allow Mr. Bury to increase production...

...Business Proposal Paper Lucionda Garnett ECON/561 October 22, 2014 Mr. David Grier Introduction In today’s society, it is imperative that businesses adopt an efficient and effective strategy, in order to stay ahead in this persistently fluctuating professional world. Every business should have an approach that will align with the shifting economy to sustain or even gain more business. The result of an ineffective approach may result in the loss of customers, profits, and consequently the demise of the business as well. In this paper the author will attempt to write a business proposal, with specifics about Verizon Wireless network, which is vital in this technological savvy industry. In this business proposal, the author will identify the market structure for Verizon Wireless network, identify elasticity of the product, and discuss how pricing will relate to the Network as a whole. The author will also discuss how changes in the quantity supplied as a result of pricing decisions affect marginal cost and marginal revenue, suggest some nonpricing strategies that Verizon will use to increase barriers to entry, and how the changes in operations may alter the mix of fixed and variable costs. And finally, the author will go in depth about the current...

When a fashion company aims to promote sustainability, the main linkage is to develop a sustainable supply chain. This paper contributes to current knowledge of sustainable supply chain in the textile and clothing industry. We first depict the structure of sustainable fashion supply chain including eco-material preparation, sustainable manufacturing, green distribution, green retailing, and ethical consumers based on the extant literature. We study the case of the Swedish fast fashion company, H&M, which has constructed its sustainable supply chain in developing eco-materials, providing safety training, monitoring sustainable manufacturing, reducing carbon emission in distribution, and promoting eco-fashion. Moreover, based on the secondary data and analysis, we learn the lessons of H&M’s sustainable fashion supply chain from the country perspective: (1) the H&M’s sourcing...

...ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Benefits of Influenza Vaccination for Low-, Intermediate-, and High-Risk Senior Citizens Kristin L. Nichol, MD, MPH; J. Wuorenma, RN, BSN; T. von Sternberg, MD Background: Vaccination rates for healthy senior citizens are lower than those for senior citizens with underlying medical conditions such as chronic heart or lung disease. Uncertainty about the benefits of influenza vaccination for healthy senior citizens may contribute to lower rates of utilization in this group. Objective: To clarify the benefits of influenza vaccina- tion among low-risk senior citizens while concurrently assessing the benefits for intermediate- and high-risk senior citizens. Methods: All elderly members of a large health maintenance organization were included in each of 6 consecutive study cohorts. Subjects were grouped according to risk status: high risk (having heart or lung disease), intermediate risk (having diabetes, renal disease, stroke and/or dementia, or rheumatologic disease), and low risk. Outcomes were compared between vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects after controlling for baseline demographic and health characteristics. Results: There were more than 20 000 subjects in each pitalizations (P .001), a 32% decrease in hospitalizations for all respiratory conditions (P .001), and a 27% decrease in hospitalizations for congestive heart failure (P .001). Immunization was also associated with a 50% reduction in all-cause mortality (P .001). Within the risk...
