How could you diagnostic test for immunity to change process to better understand employees’ immunity to change? Provide examples for two employees (either employee in a current change situation at your work, from a situation you find on the internet, or some hypothetical example.

Situation:

You work for a clothing manufacturing company that makes high quality light weight denim jeans and tee shirts. All of your products are 100% cotton of the highest quality and are known for their excellent workmanship. The company marketing department recently held a brainstorming activity with key customers and other stakeholders and has recognized there is a great deal of short-term potential in the idea of making facial masks which are increasingly required to be worn in response to the COVID 19 outbreak. Though many companies and individuals are making masks, your company is in a unique position to do this with a creative twist. Here is the idea:Facial masks increasingly render facial recognition software in all its various forms and uses useless. The idea is to use technology that would allow customers to upload a photo of their face, then graphically transfer the lower portion of the face to a custom-made mask that would effectively show an individual’s entire face while wearing it. Senior management agrees that this has some great potential in the short term and would like to convert one of the tee shirt manufacturing lines to custom mask production. You have been asked to create a project plan and report your plans back to leadership within 3 days.

Your Task:

Your project is to convert the line and make it ready for production of 5000 custom masks a week for 4 weeks (total of 20,000 masks), with the project starting in just three weeks. Said another way, you have three weeks to get things ready for production. The shipping department will take the completed masks and make them ready for shipping, so this will not be included in the scope of your work. You have been told that time is the most critical constraint so your budget is flexible.

Question 6 (Corporate Strategy & Development): You are consulting to a growing company with a profitable South African business based off its core product. It faces the following choices: i. Competition in its core market is beginning to intensify. It needs to protect its market leadership position and its margins which are under pressure. ii. They say offence is the best defence. The company has employed this approach to develop a new product which is adjacent to its current offering. The product is not market leader but has been doing well and is growing faster than the core business at present. It needs further funding in terms of marketing and promotion iii. There is significant opportunity in growing other African markets. A major partner has already done most of the groundwork for introducing the core product to new markets that could vastly increase the revenues and profitability of the business. Of course, there is some risk to consider. iv. The company was part of a government initiative that has recently ended. The government allowed it to keep the associated intellectual property as it has no relevance in the South African market. This technology can however be exploited to create new products in a neighbouring market and some reputable partners have expressed interest. The Questions: a. How should the business think about taking advantage of the above opportunities? b. What deliberate and emergent features could be deployed by the organisation to manage their strategy process going forward?

Q1:

Some commentators suggest that the US should have learned from its experiences in the Lebanon conflict (1980's) not to become involved in the Syrian Civil War. What factors might have prevented such a conclusion?

Group of answer choices

The Lebanese civil war was mainly a political conflict, while the Syrian civil war is based on ethno-religious identity and has inherently different dynamics

Intervening in Lebanon did not incur any real costs, so the US was not sufficiently wary about Syria

The Israel lobby drove US intervention in Lebanon, but is less interested in Syria

Cold War dynamics limited the role that other great powers would take in Lebanon, but Syria occurred in a post-Cold War world with different rules

Q2:

Which of these statements is true regarding US intervention in Africa during the 1990's?

Group of answer choices

Despite failures in intervention during the 1990's, the US has been able to foster successful development and growth in both Somalia and Rwanda during the past two decades

The US experience in Somalia played a central role in shaping US action during the Rwandan Genocide

Criticism of US inaction during the Rwandan Genocide pushed the Clinton Administration to intervene in Somalia, with disastrous results

There was no real relationship between the Somalia and Rwandan interventions

Standard-Form Categorical Syllogisms

In order to employ the conventional techniques for properly identifying and analyzing categorical syllogisms, you must first make sure that the syllogism is a standard-form categorical syllogism. To be in standard form, a categorical syllogism must meet all of the following four conditions:

The first condition requires that each statement have a proper quantifier, subject term, copula, and predicate term. The second condition requires that terms are expressed in the same words throughout the argument, and that alternative wording is not used to express the same meaning. The third condition rules out the possibility of equivocation. And finally, the fourth condition simply specifies a standard order for listing a syllogism's statements.

When conditions 1, 2, and 4 are violated, corrections to the argument usually can be made so that it is easily rewritten in standard form. For example, if condition 2 is violated, you simply choose one wording for each term, then use that wording consistently throughout the argument. However, when condition 3 is violated, the argument cannot be rewritten in standard form because when a term takes on a different sense within an argument, it actually represents a different term. In other words, when an argument violates condition 3, it in fact contains more than three terms and, consequently, it is not a categorical syllogism at all (because, by definition, categorical syllogisms employ exactly three terms).

Each of the following arguments fails to meet one of the conditions required for standard-form categorical syllogisms. Inspect each argument and determine which of the four conditions is violated. Then determine which (if any) of the proposed reconstructions would succeed in putting the original argument into standard form.

Given Argument 1

An area hospital adopted a commercial Electronic Health Record and plans on adopting and integrating a Personal Health Record (PHR). The hospital CEO drafts the following vision statement “By using the latest technology, our hospital will improve how our patients experiences and engagement in their healthcare. Instead of patients coming to us for help, we will be there wherever and whenever they need us, asking, “How can we help you?” This initiative will make healthcare easier to access and more convenient to use, improve patients’ health, and reduce the rising cost of healthcare in our area.”

You are the Chief Health Informatics Officer and the CEO is seeking your input. The CEO asks you to prepare a response to this vision statement.

In your response include discussion about pros (at least 3) and cons (at least 3) of using a PHR. Consider the shifting demographics and discuss whether you think older adults (65+ years old) are receptive to using PHRs and social media and why (support your stance with scholarly evidence). Explain how social media data could be beneficial in the context of patient care or population health (in about 1 paragraph). Describe how patient-centered care is facilitated by using the PHR (at least1 paragraph). Lets shift gears and now think about the impact remote home monitoring could have on older adults. Describe one pro and one con of using remote home monitoring with this population.

PHR pros and cons - 3 points
Are older adults receptive to PHRs and social media - convincing argument - 5 points
Social media data in patient care or population health - 3 points
Patient-centered care - 5 points
Remote home monitoring - pros and cons - 2 points
