Contemporary Management Technique Research Paper

Based on your evaluation of an organization or a segment of an organization in Individual Learning Project 1, select 1 contemporary management technique (listed in the Blocher et al. text) not currently being implemented in the organization/segment that could aid the organization/segment in achieving its critical success factors (CSFs).

Using the electronic databases provided by the Jerry Falwell Library and other sources, search for journal articles in professional, peer-reviewed accounting and business journals that pertain to the contemporary management technique chosen.

Write a research paper in current APA format. The paper must be 10–15 double-spaced pages, with 1-inch margins and current APA pagination. The font must be 12-point Times New Roman. The paper must include references from at least 5 different sources. Be sure to include a title page and a reference page in addition to the essay pages. The title page and the reference page do not count as part of the 10–15-page length requirement.

The paper must address the following in order:
1. Rationale for the contemporary management technique selected
2. In-depth analysis of the technique, in which you fully describe the technique, its implementation process, its application by other organizations, its applicability to your organization/segment, and your plan for implementation

Additional guidelines:
1. Avoid using first and second person (e.g., “I,” “we,” “you,” etc.).
2. You must reference a minimum of your textbooks and 5 additional scholarly sources. Wikipedia, Investopedia, and the like are not considered scholarly sources and should not be used. Any use of these sources will be grounds for a 50-point deduction.
3. Any personal communication should be cited appropriately within the text; however, citations of personal communication are not needed for the reference section.
4. An abstract and table of contents are not needed.
5. The final assignment must be submitted via the SafeAssign submission link.

In this journal, work with the article Alcohol Consumption to explore how and why statistical results can be used differently by different practitioners looking at the same information. For example, how will a health administrator use the information? How will someone in community health use the information? How will someone in health information management use the information? How will someone in nursing use the information? You will respond according to your major.
Consider the following two questions in your work:
• If you could only use one statistic to describe this population, what would it be and why?
• How is this information important in your particular field?

ARTICLE: Alcohol consumption among first-time mothers and the risk of preterm birth: a cohort study
Abstract
Purpose
Our aim was to explore the association between alcohol consumption, before and during pregnancy, and the risk of preterm birth among 46,252 primiparous mothers.
Methods
We obtained information on alcohol consumption from questionnaire responses at pregnancy week 15 from the prospective, observational Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study. Data on preterm birth, categorized as delivery before gestation week 37, were retrieved from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway.
Results
Among the participants, 91% consumed alcohol before pregnancy and fewer than 20% reported consuming alcohol during pregnancy. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for preterm birth associated with pre-pregnancy alcohol consumption was 0.81 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70–0.95). We did not find a risk reduction for overall drinking during pregnancy, aOR = 1.03 (95% CI, 0.90–1.19). However, dose-response analyses showed tendencies toward adverse effects when drinking 1–3 times per month during the first 15 weeks of pregnancy, aOR = 1.51 (95% CI, 1.14–2.00).
Conclusions
We did not find any effects of alcohol consumption during pregnancy, whereas pre-pregnancy drinking was associated with reduced risk of preterm birth. Residual confounding may have influenced the risk estimates, especially before pregnancy, as nondrinkers have lower socioeconomic status and well-being than drinkers.

HW3 – Data Modeling

All diagrams need to be embedded into the file as images or Visio objects. PDF submissions are preferred because they always display accurately in Blackboard. Submitting solutions to a wrong problem will result in a 50% grade reduction for the corresponding part of the HW.

1. Using Visio create ER diagrams for problem 8.99 A and B on p.304 (10 points, 5 per diagram) (Just write step by step detailed instructions like: what you clicked, what and where to drag what you typed, etc.)

2. Using Visio create class diagrams for problem 8.99 A and B on p.304 (10 points, 5 per diagram) (Just write step by step detailed instructions like: what you clicked, what and where to drag what you typed, etc.)

3. Based on the preliminary understanding of your team project data requirements create an ER diagram representing key data entities and relationships underlying your proposed solution.  Provide a short textual explanation for your diagram.   The diagram should be created in Visio. (5 points bonus) ( your company is non profit organization: NTO Annang) (Just write step by step detailed instructions like: what you clicked, what and where to drag what you typed, etc.)

The following are guidelines on how to write your critiques.

o What do you think is the main point of the speaker or video/film?
o What do you think are the most important aspects of the research or work presented and why?
o What are its strengths and weaknesses?
o What impacted you the most and how did it provide context to the material covered in lecture?
o When the viewings present causes and consequences of environmental change and/or propose solutions to those changes, are experts and peer-reviewed research involved? If unsure, do a quick search to find out using the methods discussed in class.
o When the viewings address solutions to environmental impacts, how well do the approaches follow principles of sustainability and/or the process of science?
o When watching documentaries, be sure that you can distinguish between fact and opinion, bias and objectivity.
o Are experts presenting findings or are celebrities or politicians or representatives of special interest groups voicing opinions?
o Are any issues being overstated or conversely, downplayed?  If so, how?
o When the viewings provide further description or detail on science concepts covered in class, comment on how well they helped clarify and/or expand on your understanding of the material.
