Moore AIU Online April 22, 2013 Abstract In this unit I was asked to describe an organization basic legal, social, and economic environment. I am asked to describe the management structure and its operational and financial issues. Research and identify the impact of potential change factors including the role of technology. UNIT 5 IP Introduction The organization that will be discussed in this paper is healthcare this organization is important to this writer because it is her chosen field of employment. It is important to learn about healthcare because of all the recent changes to the law on a state, local, and federal level. This writer feels in order to learn about the healthcare regulations you need to learn about your rights as either a provider or as a patient. Basic Legal Environment The healthcare industry has come up on several changes over the past years that lead to lawsuits. Some of the legal issues that the healthcare has to deal with would be HIPPA which is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information. OSHA assures the safe and healthful working of men and women by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education and assistance. Patient documentation and communication which sparked the malpractice lawsuits over a decade ago, in keeping the patient informed...

...States. I know that the U.S. has the most advanced engineering technology in the world, so I am excited by the possibility of continuing my education there. My parents support the idea wholeheartedly. In all the generations of my family, I will be the first to attend college—they would be proud if I pursued my studies in the United States. While there have been many events in college that have convinced me I am well-suited for the study of mechanical engineering—such as building a “mouse trap car” during a physics class I took—my interests have been shaped most dramatically by a college robot competition. The robot competition took three weeks to complete. It was the first time I tried to build a model robot, but my mentor in the project taught me everything I needed to know. Professor Mason took me through the process step by step until I had built a complete...

...employing the U.S. workers will not solve the high unemployment problem the country is facing. In this global marketplace, the United States will not only need to make improvement in the economy to create jobs that are robust and sustainable, but will also need to build a workforce that is strong and trained with the right skills (Baily & Bosworth, 2014). This paper will first look at the significant events of the history of U.S. labor to understand the current situation of the U.S. economy and how it has affected the workers. In this paper, U.S. labor, workforce or labor force refers to a pool of people who are employed in the United States. Since manufacturing is a significant source of employment for U.S. workers, the government has made advanced manufacturing as the center of its economic agenda to help with recovering the U.S. economy. Advanced manufacturing, as described in the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) report, is an effort to improve the U.S. industry in systems engineering using materials that are cutting edge with innovative technologies (PCAST, 2012). Therefore, this paper will focus on how advanced manufacturing will affect the future for U.S. labor and help decrease unemployment. It will also discuss the different participants of the U.S. labor and how the economy could affect the participation rate of the workers, labor shortages, and skills gap in the future,...

...A critical analysis of AstraZeneca plc.’s shareholder wealth creation in the five-year period from 2010-15 * Xiaoyu Zhang August 2016 MSC in Accounting and Financial Management Global Pharmaceutical Industry Overview Pharmaceutical industry is closely bound up with people’s living standard, which also correlates general economic and deserves thoroughly research and analysis. Due to favorable demographic trends and significant unmet medical needs, the pharmaceutical industry is expected to enjoy long-term growth. According to the research conducted by AstraZeneca, there is 9.5% growth in 2015 of global pharmaceutical sales (AZ annual report 2015, p12). The number of people accessing healthcare is increasing, as is healthcare spending, particularly by the elderly. For example, WHO estimated that, by 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and older is expected to total two billion, up from 900 million in 2015 and that, by then, 80% of all older people will live in low- and middle-income countries. Emerging markets are expected to continue to boost pharmaceutical growth. Furthermore, the increasing threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cancer and cardiovascular, metabolic and respiratory diseases, has killed tens of millions of people. It is estimated that NCDs kill 38 million people each year and especially affect low- and middle-income countries where nearly three-quarters of these deaths occur (WHO, 2011). As reported, NCDs are often associated...

...Teaching Critical Thinking with Electronic Discussion Steven A. Greenlaw and Stephen B. DeLoach Abstract: One of the products of a liberal undergraduate education is the ability to think critically. In practice, critical thinking is a skill that economics students are supposed to master as they complete their studies. However, exactly what critical thinking means is generally not well defined. Building on the literature on critical thinking, the authors examine how electronic discussion can be used effectively to teach this skill. Because of the multiplicity of views expressed, the asynchronous nature of the technology, and the inherent positive spillovers that are created, electronic discussion appears to provide a natural framework for teaching critical thinking. Key words: class discussion, critical thinking, distance learning, electronic discussion JEL code; A2 One of the products of a liberal undergraduate education is the ability to think critically. This should be particularly true for economics students who. after all, are ostensibly taught the discipline's version of critical thinking—the economic way of thinking. It is ironic then, that relatively little has been published on effective strategies for teaching critical thinking in economics.' This is not an original criticism. In his seminal article on research in pedagogy, Fels (1969) identified critical thinking as an area ripe for teaching and exploration by economists, Fels's critique, "rarely is a concerted effort...

...Article Self-oriented Masculinity: Advertisements and the Changing Culture of the Male Market Journal of Macromarketing 33(2) 160-171 ª The Author(s) 2012 Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/0276146712463823 jmk.sagepub.com Blaine J. Branchik1 and Tilottama Ghosh Chowdhury1 Abstract This research chronicles the changes in the understudied and rapidly evolving male market segment using two related studies: (1) a content analysis of advertisements in fifty-one years of Sports Illustrated magazine and (2) an experiment involving age-based differences in consumer ad perceptions. Both investigate changing ad values and the ethnic diversity of ad models. Results indicate that the male market is becoming increasingly self-oriented in its values orientation as a result of broad societal changes and changing gender roles. Increasing use of black or African American models in key positions indicates a growing acceptance of minorities as representations of the ideal self among younger men, who express a preference for black or African American models. This finding speaks to the increasingly multicultural nature of society and the impact of minority celebrities on American culture. The results are indicative of the power of advertising in both reflecting and facilitating societal change. Keywords advertising, male market, societal change, ethnicity, gender, culture, macromarketing Introduction American men, as a cultural...
