Economics Project 2/Change in Supply Activity

 

Directions: A smart business owner knows that when a determinant of supply changes, then the business owner must adjust his or her level of supply. Changing the price of your good is not an option. Make decisions based on the following scenarios so that you can continue to grow your business. Then after you have made the decision, first identify your reason (GETS TIPS), and justify your reasoning in a brief sentence. Then, create an economic model of your choice by graphing the change in supply. Use the knowledge gained from the Change in Supply Notes, the video, and the models above to help you correctly graph your decision. If you make the right decisions, your business will grow exponentially and you will be more successful. Beware: if you make the wrong decisions, you run the risk of having to close your business. When you have completed the activity, click on the Activity Submission tab, then the Activities tab; open the Change in Supply Activity, and follow the instructions to submit your work.
Scenario #1It is the end of a fiscal (financial) year, and you are about to receive the new inventory for the next year. You need to make room by selling off your current product before the end of the year, and the new inventory arrives.
How will you change your supply to accommodate this event?(Identify and justify your reaction here in a brief sentence.)

Graph the change in supply.(To draw a line on the graph click insert, then shapes, then choose line. Place your cursor on the graph, and drag it until you get the length you want. To add words, click insert, then Text Box. Draw the box on the graph, and add the text.)
Scenario #2Your industry has been engaged in a nationwide labor dispute. After many months, the unions have negotiated a pay increase across the board in exchange for less paid vacation time. After all is said and done, this event will increase your labor costs by 1%. Remember, you cannot just increase your price to cover the additional cost.
How will you change your supply to accommodate this event?(Identify and justify your reaction here in a brief sentence.)
Graph the change in supply. Scenario #3Congress passes a bill providing tax incentives (tax breaks) for all small business owners, but increases tax rates for all multi-million dollar corporations to increase government revenue.How will you change your supply to accommodate this event?(Identify and justify your reaction here in a brief sentence.)

Graph the change in supply.Scenario #4One of your competitors in your market goes out of business.How will you change your supply to accommodate this event?(Identify and justify your reaction here in a brief sentence.)

Graph the change in supply. Scenario #5During the mid-term elections, a more pro-active Congress is elected. Immediately, the new Congress pushes through new measures to increase government intervention in business interactions by toughening up safety regulations, health codes, environmental controls, and consumer protections laws.
How will you change your supply to accommodate this event?(Identify and justify your reaction here in a brief sentence.)

Graph the change in supply.
Scenario #6Great news!! You have paid off your small business loan. It is an exciting day because that is one less bill you have to pay every month, and you now own your business outright. The bank no longer has any claim to your property.
How will you change your supply to accommodate this event?(Identify and justify your reaction here in a brief sentence.)

Graph the change in supply.
Scenario #7You have hired an efficiency expert to help reorganized your labor force and increase productivity. She has the magic touch and whips your labor into shape!
How will you change your supply to accommodate this event? (Identify and justify your reaction here in a brief sentence.)

Graph the change in supply.

In this unit, you will be revising your Unit V Illustration Essay, but you will also be looking forward to the Unit VII submission of your Expository Essay. Choosing a topic can be a great challenge to students at times because they want to choose a topic that is reasonable and one that is interesting to them. However, some students struggle with choosing a topic because there are so many possibilities. In the lessons for this unit, we discussed some different ways that you can come up with a short list of possible topics, including talking to those around you, observing important issues, reflecting on issues that are important to you, and thinking about topics in relation to disciplinary categories.

After considering some of these generative methods, what topics have you come up with? Describe them, along with giving a short explanation of how you came to your topics. You might choose just one topic and share your process. If you do not have a topic(s) in mind, then describe some general areas of interest or where you think you might want to find a topic. Sometimes just describing these vague thoughts can be very productive for you and others!

 

 

Your response should be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Details:
During this course, you will develop materials that support the human resource process from acquiring, developing, and leveraging on employee strengths. This project is broken into four separate assignments due in Topics 2, 3, 5, and 7. While you are only required to submit each assignment in its respective topic, you will submit a reflection assignment that provides a brief overview of the learning outcomes from your assignment feedback.
In this assignment, you are conducting a needs assessment and developing two job descriptions for your current organization or a preapproved organization that you have access to interact with in order to complete this assignment. If you are not currently in an organization, please inform your instructor of the organization you will use to complete this project. They must approve your selection prior to beginning your assignment and you must have the ability to observe employees and functions within that organization.
Needs Assessment
Observe and assess the state of your current organization, or another pre-selected organization. A needs assessment is necessary to identify areas for potential growth, both at the employee and organizational level. If you are not in a position to look holistically at your organization, you can focus on a department or team within the organization. Use the “Needs Assessment Matrix” resource to complete your needs assessment. You are required to analyze functions, trainings, jobs, and employment needs in order to complete your matrix and prepare for the next part of this assignment.
Job Descriptions
Once your needs assessment is complete, you are required to select two positions in your organization and develop a one-page detailed job description for each position. It is recommended that you take the time to conduct a job analysis and observe current employees in the selected positions to accurately depict the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics that must be incorporated into the job descriptions. If you are unable to observe, do your best to accurately depict the specific functions of the job. You will submit the completed “Needs Assessment Matrix” and both job descriptions for this assignment.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

IntroductionThe views held by radical behaviorists offer a unique conceptual framework for understanding human behavior. There are differences between basic behaviorism and
radical behaviorism. The basic concepts of behaviorism hold that individuals are essentially passive, and respond to their environmental stimuli. Behavior is shaped
through positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement. Either forms of reinforcement determine antecedent behavior of individuals. Radical behaviorism holds that
behavior is more than an outcome of environmental stimuli, and that it can be viewed as a natural science. As a natural science, radical behaviorism adopts a counter-
intuitive stance: that behavioral events involve no agency, and can be explained by other natural events (Baum, 2005).This work uses a radical behaviorist approach to develop behavioral goals, determine appropriate reinforces, select procedures for changing behavior, and to implement
procedures and record results.Behavioral GoalsThis section will highlight a number of behavioral goals for Rad. For most part, these goals will focus on the wellbeing of Rad by presenting opportunities for
personal development.The first behavioral goal is to impart self-control skills that will be aimed at avoiding any form of destructive addiction. Compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli
is a serious concern due to its adverse consequences. Based on the concepts of radical behaviorism, it is possible to condition Rad to exhibit self-control by avoiding
harmful addictive behaviors.Another behavioral goal will be to condition Rad to a healthy lifestyle. This will mostly focus on a healthy diet, and engagement in physical activities. Since
achieving a heathy lifestyle can be done through different means, the specific course of action that will be used is open to changes. Some of the considerations that
will be taken into account include; feedback from Rad, duration needed to attain the behavioral goal, and the input of healthcare practitioners.The final behavioral goal will be for Rad to be more tolerant and patient. These attributes are closely linked, and will be imparted on Rad at the same time. Patience
and tolerance are important virtues to a healthy lifestyle. The choice of these two attributes is closely linked with the need to support the other behavioral goals.Appropriate ReinforcersAppropriate reinforcers are important in assisting the attainment of the behavioral goals (Constantine, 2006). In the case of Rad, three key reinforcers will be used;
personal items, family, therapy sessions.As an adult, the capacity for Rad to make critical decisions is more advanced. This is one of the main considerations in determining the appropriate reinforcers. Some
personal items that Rad cherishes will be taken away, and will be used as reinforcers. It is important for these items to be luxuries that do not directly affect Rad’s
wellbeing. It is also important to ensure that Rad will notice the absence of such items, and be motivated to regain them.Family members will also be used to support Rad in attaining the behavioral goals. Relatives have played key roles in the study and performance of behavioral
psychology. People tend to form strong bonds with close family members and friends. The field of behavioral psychology has exploited this fact to facilitate the
conditioning of individuals by using such close friends and family members as reinforcers.The final reinforcer will be in the form of therapy sessions. Behaviorists will conduct therapy sessions with the aim of identifying Rad’s performance relative to the
preset targets. These sessions are expected to be productive where they offer positive reinforcement where success has been achieved, and negative reinforcement in the
case of failure. Radical behaviorists in charge of offering ensuring the success of the success of therapy sessions as an appropriate reinforcer have to be aware of
the behavioral goals.Procedures for Changing BehaviorThe process for changing behavior will take a maximum period of six months. The intention will be to achieve the behavioral goals as soon as deemed possible. However,
the six-months period should be observed as the phase when all efforts to change Rad’s behavior will end.With relation to the personal items to be used as behavioral reinforcers, they will be taken with the consent of Rad. Further, Rad’s input will be considered where he
exhibits obvious signs of participation in the behavioral change process. these items will be offered in exchange for positive signs of behavioral change. To
successfully achieve this, these items will be complementary; continually attracting the interest of Rad. This will partly be used as a measure of success in behavior
change.The therapy sessions and family support methods will be used in a similar approach. Positive support will be offered when considerable achievements have been achieved
towards behavior change. It is important to focus on this positive support as opposed to offering any form of negative reinforcement. In the case of Rad, only positive
support will be offered. The aim of the change process is to allow for change. In a personal encounter involving close family members and professionals in behavior
psychology, negative reinforcements will not be offered.Procedures and ResultsThree procedures were used to facilitate behavior change in Rad: use of personal items, use of close family members, and offering therapy sessions. The most successful
approach was the use of close family members and behavioral psychologist for support. The aim was to form a bond with Rad, and support any clear indications of
behavioral change. Rad was happily responsive to the requirements of the change process. one of the main reasons for the success of this reinforce is that the bond
presented a lot of opportunities to facilitate behavioral change. For instance, it was possible to effectively communicate to Rad about the individual efforts that
allowed for progress in the process. Rad was hence in a position to focus on such efforts. The use of personal items as a reinforce was not as effective as the other
two methods used. A possible explanation for this development is that the participation of Rad in the selection of personal items to be used.Evaluation and RevisionIn order to determine the success of the behavioral change methods used on Rad, a number of approaches were used. the main approach was the feedback from behavioral
psychologists. These professionals were present from the start, and monitored progress all through the change process. this presents them with a chance to present
credible evolution of the behavioral change process. although used as a secondary evaluation technique, observation of Rad’s behavior also presented evidence of
successful behavioral change. At the end, Rad exhibited self-control tendencies, tolerance, patience and a healthy lifestyle as intended at the start.

Ethics in Health Care Finance

 

Ethics in Health Care Finance

 

As a health care administrator, you will undoubtedly be faced with the responsibility of making decisions that may be impacted by ethics. Sometimes, the best approach
to a given situation is clear, whereas others require you to carefully consider laws, regulations, and the impact of potential outcomes. How do you ensure you will
make the best decision for your health care organization? For this Discussion, you examine the following scenario and consider whether there is a breach of ethics.
Scenario:
An organization is developing a business plan. The intent of the organization is to provide a service for a community in need, but it appears they might have trouble
obtaining financing. The board is trying to decide whether to be transparent in their financials or over-predict so they can properly finance their venture.

Post a cohesive response in 4 -5 paragraphs to the following:
Evaluate whether overstating financials would be a breach of ethics for the organization in the scenario. Why or why not?
Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.
