The final project for this course is a written proposal.
While healthcare organizations differ greatly, managers in various departments of organizations must propose changes. Some changes managers might propose include updating processes, buying new equipment, and hiring employees. Managers also propose many other changes to executives and boards for approval. For this course, you will place yourself in the role of a manager in an organization of your choice. You will create a written proposal that will add value to an organization and will impact the budget. This may come in the form of adding updated equipment, changing a process to become more streamlined, and so on. You will be submitting your proposal to your instructor, who will be playing the roles of CEO and budgetary board, for consideration. This assessment requires you to defend the value added and the financial impacts to the organization that you outline in your proposal. Defending a proposal is a skill you can use in your future career.
You will select your organization from the list provided in the Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric document. You also have the option of selecting your place of employment within healthcare as approved by your instructor. If you choose your own place of employment, you must ensure that sufficient financial information is available to support your work on this project.
The project is divided into four milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, Four, and Six. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Articulate key managerial accounting principles in healthcare using appropriate terminology
Determine financial impacts in healthcare by analyzing major forces affecting the delivery of health services
Utilize financial statements to inform short- and long-term strategic planning
Craft high-level proposals that address budgeting consideration by justifying spending for healthcare services
Prompt
Your proposal report should answer the following prompt: Considering the major forces in healthcare today, what improvements or changes would you propose for your selected organization? How would your proposal add value to the organization, and what impact would your proposal have in terms of the financial and budgetary considerations?
The proposal that you are creating may require you to address these aspects in a different order. Please organize your report in the manner that seems the most logical for your topic.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Introduction
What are the major forces affecting the delivery of healthcare today? Discuss these forces and their corresponding impacts on today’s healthcare environment.
Impact of Forces: What healthcare service and delivery opportunities and challenges exist because of the forces discussed above? Define the challenges and opportunities that exist for today’s healthcare leaders.
Opportunities: Based on your analysis of the major forces, impacts, and opportunities provided, consider the specific organization that you selected. What opportunities exist for this organization, and how do these opportunities relate to the big-picture view of healthcare?
Proposal: What is your proposal for addressing identified issues or improvements within your organization? In other words, what changes are you trying to incorporate in your selected organization?
Financial and Budgetary Considerations
Financial Statements: What financial statements will you utilize in making your proposal, and how will you use these statements?
Proposal Impact: What impact will your proposal have on the organization’s financial statements? Articulate the impact using appropriate terminology.
Flexed Versus Fixed: How would your proposal be different if using a flexed budget versus a fixed budget? In other words, how would the use of one type of budget versus the other impact your proposal, and how would your proposal impact the budget? (Evaluate the differences between a fixed and a flexed budget.)
Proposal Justification
Ratio Selection: What ratios will you use to support your proposal and why? Select the ratio or ratios that would be the most appropriate.
Ratio Results: Calculate the selected ratios and articulate the results using accurate terminology. What do the results tell you about the viability of your proposal?
Short- and Long-Term Impact: Based on your calculations and financial statement analysis, determine the short-term and long-term impact on the organization and the organization’s financials. What is the short-term and long-term financial impact of your proposal for the organization? How can you plan to strategically mitigate the impact on the financials of the company, or how will your proposal help inform strategic planning in the short and long term?
Closing Statement/ Conclusion
Added Value: What value will your proposal add to the organization? Justify the value or improvement your proposal will add for the organization, in consideration of trends in healthcare.
Justification of Proposal: How appropriate is your proposal based on your financial analysis? Justify your proposal based on the financials and budgetary considerations. If you feel that your proposal is not appropriate given your analysis, explain why, with support of your reasoning.
What to Submit
Your written proposal should be long enough to sufficiently cover all necessary material, including key budgetary information and any external resources used in preparation. The number of pages is less important than the content and organization of the report. Your proposal should be organized logically since it will be used to convince your supervisor and budgetary board (your instructor) to approve your changes. Your paper must use APA formatting throughout, including headings, references, citations, and cover page.

·       The control function of management can be a critical determinant of organizational success. However, control is often discussed solely as a feedback and adjustment process. Often, control is accomplished in three steps: establishing standards, measuring performance against these standards, and correcting deviations from standards and plans. In her article, The Paradox of Coordination and Control, Jodi Gittel argues that “coordination benefits from strengthening the role of supervisors while weakening the role of accountability and performance measurement” (pg.101).

In your final assessment, you will present a high-level plan for the appropriate HR policies and practices that can support a major change or transformation in an organisation.
Identifying, assessing, and addressing issues that affect the long-term objective of an organisation is a key component of HRM; when done correctly, this process results in a solution that can constitute a “win” for human resource management. It is important to remember that successful implementation of HRM practices do not necessarily involve a big budgets and large project teams. Nor do they always require the introduction of a major HRM system to solve the problem. Research highlights that contemporary strategic HR practices can be implemented in a small ways, resulting in huge shifts in many firms.
The purpose of this essay is to conduct an in-depth analysis of a Human Resource Management (HRM) issue in an organisation. The HRM issue needs to be addressed using contemporary HR management theory and practice in order to recommend an initiative that can be introduced in a real-life organisation to solve a particular HR problem. Ideally, the scenario will be drawn from your own experience and be based on HR activities in an organisation that you have worked in or are still currently employed. If you have limited HR experience, please discuss a potential case with your Online Lecturer.
Remember that every single employee is impacted by the HR functions, not just leaders who are partly responsible for HR related matters with their team. As a result, you should think about any relevant challenges your organisation has faced in terms of these various key HR functions. This can be in either a past or current workplace to ensure you have a deeper understanding of the issue.
This assessment targets the following course learning outcomes:
CLO1: Discuss a range of effective HR policies and practices.
CLO2: Recognise how core HR functions are evolving to meet the needs of contemporary organisations.
CLO3: Evaluate the ways in which HR policies and practices impact employee outcomes and organisational objectives.
CLO4: Consider key HR policies and practices in the context of current cases and organisations.
CLO5: Generate recommendations for configuring HR policies and practices that can better respond to current events and meet future demands.
Instructions
You may select any topic or contemporary issue in HRM. The HRM initiative does not need to be a major HRM program as long as it can be considered an HRM initiative. For example, you might identify a problem that is related to:
HR planning
Recruitment
Selection
Induction
Training and development
Contracts
ER/IR
Reward and remuneration
Performance management and appraisals
Employee mentoring and coaching
Employee engagement and talent management
Employee wellbeing and mindfulness
Workplace health and safety
Career development and succession planning
Termination and redundancy
Employee exit and departure
You are welcome to discuss your proposed issue with your Online Lecturer. All organisations can be de-identified or renamed if required. However, keep in mind that this task is only for academic purposes and the information will not be used in any other context. Submissions are completely confidential and will not be shared outside the scope of the course.
The “case” issue that you select will preferably be based on your experiences. However, further academic research is required of both peer reviewed articles as well as relevant industry reports in the field you choose. This task seeks to ensure that you use the HRM literature along with the course content as a foundation for your analysis.
You may wish to consider some of the following aspects in your analysis. These are meant to prompt ideas and be guidelines and do not reflect a comprehensive list of considerations.
Description and evaluation of the HRM issue (overview of the issue/situation)
What is the history or background of this issue?
How did the problem originate?
How was the issue determined/discovered to be a problem?
What challenges have become present from the issue in the organisation?
What are the key features of this issue? What does the marker really need to know about the case to understand the scenario?
Why was it important that this issue be addressed in the organisation?
What forces (if any) were maintaining the status quo (was there resistance to change)? Explain if there was or is a deep embedment of the issue in organisational culture? What was or is required for significant change to occur? (Be careful to not simply tell a story or be overly descriptive here. Instead, focus on a concise yet detailed overview of the issue to present a picture of the situation to the marker.)
Recommendations and proposed solution (strategies moving forward)
What are some major arguments in field of literature around this topic? What is the research suggesting organisations do to support this HR function in contemporary workplaces today?
What is your overall proposed recommendation and solution to help improve the current or past state of play and shift the status quo?
What can be done to successfully plan, manage, communicate and implement a HRM solution?
If there has been any change already to the firm, has the change/initiative gone far enough as yet? Have all aspects of the issue been addressed? What else could be recommended at a strategic level to help offer a more effective solution in contemporary HR today?
Consider are there any downstream effects? How could the organisation ensure that the initiative is successful long-term?
How did or could the initiative solve the challenge and how did or could the organisation measure it?
NOTE: The assignment is to be submitted in a business report format but an extensive reference list should be included to affirm your ideas base on existing research of contemporary HR practices today.
NOTE: The emphasis of this report is on the HRM issue and proposed solution; the problem is important for context but do not focus your document only on telling a story about the issue. Instead focus on the literature and integrating the course outcomes to propose a meaningful solution based on research and contemporary practice in HR today.
IMPORTANT: Please see the following Task Brief for further clarification on your approach to the structure and the guidelines. Feel free to ask your Online Lecturer any questions to support your submission.

INTERNATIONAL NEGOTIATIONS
Vanessa Van Edwards, author and founder at Science of People (n.d.), claims that practice negotiations can help hone assertiveness, which helps negotiators sound confident and speak better. She also refers to a 2008 study which found the participation in mock negotiations can improve confidence, negotiation tactics, and conflict management styles. Throughout this course, you have discussed the impact that culture can have on international business relations and the importance of research in negotiations and preparing employees to work effectively. This week, you explored Learning Resources which focus on the specifics of negotiating theories and beliefs. In your mock negotiation, you will have an opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of negotiation skills and strategies and reflect on your learning and understanding of these strategies. 
To complete this assignment, review the Learning Resources for this week, including Case Files A and B, your Pre-Negotiation Worksheet from Week 6, Negotiation Reflection Journal Instructions Download Negotiation Reflection Journal Instructions, and other resources that you have found in the Walden Library or online. Then, complete your role-playing negotiation with your teammate and respond to the following bullet points in a 2- to 3-page journal (excluding title page and references) that includes the following:
Pre-Negotiation Reflection
Mock Negotiation Reflection
Post-Negotiation Summary 
Post-Negotiation Peer Review
