Evaluate a survey to measure the attitude of hospital employees regarding patient safety. The survey can be found as part of Case 15.1 (Zikmund et al., 2013). 

More information about the survey, its constructs (see Survey Items and Composite Measures), and survey guidance is available in the AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) website.  This survey is the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture.

For your evaluation be sure to consider:

• the information that is being sought,
• the content and words of individual questions,
• the response forms to the questions,
• the level of measurement,
• and question sequence.

Length: Your paper should be between 5-7 pages, not including title and reference page.

References:  Include a minimum of five (5) scholarly sources.

Nozick rejects Rawlsian redistributive schemes, arguing as follows:

The major objection to speaking of everyones having a right to various things such as equality of opportunity, life, and so on, and enforcing this right, is that these rights require a substructure of things and materials and actions; and other people may have rights and entitlements over those.  No one has a right to something whose realization requires certain uses of things and activities that other people have rights and entitlements over. (Nozick, Anarchy, State and Utopia, p. 238)

Evaluate this specific argument from Nozick against the idea that people can have positive rights (e.g., a right to equality of opportunity, shelter, health care, etc.) and that society can enforce this right.

In Chapters 8 and 9, we reviewed several types of global expansion strategies a company can undertake when entering new markets. For this assignment, you will read a case study about Starbucks expansion into the Indian market (p. 413 in the textbook) and then respond to, and make decisions, based on the following questions:

1. What inspired Starbucks to venture in to India? What were some of the companys early concerns and other obstacles? 
2. How would you describe Starbucks approach to entering India and how Starbucks was influenced by cultural differences to adapt its offerings for the Indian market?
3. Why did Starbucks want to enter India through a joint venture? Specifically, what benefits did Starbucks and the Tara Group both gain by partnering with one another? What synergies were present? What conflicts occurred and how were they resolved?
4. Now, assume the role of the Director of Starbucks Indian strategic planning team. You have been tasked to explore the benefits and challenges of expansion into foreign countries through joint-venture partnerships. Describe the opportunities, benefits, and concerns that Starbucks might face by doing so. Summarize the cultural environment, choose an entry strategy from the text, and describe how you would implement this entry strategy. Make sure you are very detailed in your explanation. 

 Your should meet the following requirements:

• Be 5-6 pages in length, which does not include the title page, abstract, or required reference page, which is never a part of the content minimum requirements.
• Use  APA (7th ed) style guidelines.
• Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.

 Critical Thinking:

 Scope of the Modern Company 

In this module, we looked at technology-based industries and the management of innovation review Case 12: Tesla: Eni SpA: The Corporate Strategy of an International Energy Major, p. 503 (in your textbook). Remember: A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:

1. Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the situation described in the case study.
2. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
3. Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
4. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
5. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.

Case Study Questions:

1. Evaluate Enis corporate strategy in terms of its alignment with the characteristics and requirements of its industry environment and its resources and capabilities.            
2. Looking ahead over Enis next four-year planning period (2019-22), what changes in Enis corporate strategy would you recommend? 
3. How should Eni allocate its resources across its different businesses and between different geographical areas? In particular:
4. Should Eni continue to focus most of its capital investment on its upstream business?
5. Should Eni divest (i) its chemicals business, and (ii) its engineering, construction, and oilfield services subsidiary (Saipem)?
6. Should Eni continue with its vertically integrated strategy in natural gas? 
7. Should Eni invest more heavily in renewable energy sources (e.g., wind power, solar power, and geothermal power)?
8. Evaluate the recent changes to the organizational structure that Mr. Descalzi has introduced. What further organizational and management changes would you recommend? 

You should meet the following requirements: 

• Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
• Use  APA style guidelines.
• Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.
• It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments into the Turnitin Originality Check before submitting it to your instructor for grading.

AFFECTIVE FORECASTING

AFFECTIVE FORECASTING

Hypothesis explanation

The principal objective is to demonstrate the difference of participants expectations before solving anagrams, and their feeling after the same exercise. We are going to manipulate their expectations adding three different levels, low expectation, medium expectation, and high expectation, and they have to solve ten anagrams, which only five of them have solution and the remaining five do not have a solution. In other words We have two basic predictions. First, when they were told to imagine the average participant solved 5 out of 10 anagrams, we predicted that if participants were told that most people solved 8 out of 10 anagrams (high expectation condition), then they would expect to feel less satisfied than participants who were told that most people solved 2 out of 10 anagrams (low expectation condition), with those participants who were told that most participants solve 5 out of 10 anagrams (middle expectation condition) falling in between the high and low expectation groups. However, for our second hypothesis, we predicted that there would be no differences in participant satisfaction between the high, low, and middle expectation conditions after participants completed the anagram task.

Significant finding: “Using Expectation Condition as our independent variable (High, Middle, or Low) and recall of how many anagrams participants were told the average person solves the event as the dependent variable, we saw a significant effect, X2(4)=122.97, p<.001. Most participants in the “High” condition recalled being told that the average person solves 8 out of 10 anagrams (80,5%); most participants in the “Middle” condition recalled being told that the average person solves 5 out of 10 anagrams (74.4%); and most participants in the “Low” condition recalled being told that the average person solves 2 out of 10 anagrams (82,90%). Cramer’s V was strong for this analysis. This indicates that participants saw our manipulation as intended. “See Table2.
