OVERALL PRESENTATION: 7%

PART A. ARTICLE SUMMARY AND REVIEW

You are required to find four to five relevant articles from scholarly journals relating to your specialisation topic. The articles should relate directly to your topic area and must be articles from peer-reviewed, academic journals.

Your review should not merely summarise the key points of your articles. Rather, your review should compare, contrast and critique the ideas adopted in the various articles. For example, compare the strengths and weaknesses of each article’s approach, assess any biases or limitations of the studies.

Compare and contrast the arguments and assumptions embedded in your different source materials (i.e. managerialism vs. Critical Management Studies or stakeholder perspectives). Approach the topic from various points of view: Whose voices are dominant or missing? What are the implications? What are the new emerging questions?

Some examples of scholarly journals to look for your articles include (but are not limited to):

Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Managerial Psychology, Journal of Management Studies, Journal of Communication, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Business and Psychology, Asia Pacific Journal of Management, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Australian Journal of Communication, Journal of International Business, Australian Journal of Psychology, Journal of Business Psychology, Positive Psychology Journal, Journal of Happiness Studies, etc.

Full-text articles are available via the University library databases. When referencing articles from journals, please make sure that you reference the original article and not the database URL where it is located!

PART B. IMPLEMENTATION, SUMMARY AND REFLECTION

This section of your project allows you to apply your new knowledge to improve your own personal skills and practical understanding in this area. You may develop a program involving only yourself or you may choose to devise a program for a group of employees known to you or a group of employees you work with.

This part of your assignment has three sections:-

B1. Three Week Timeline of Activities

Develop a timeline of activities, which you plan to implement over a three week period. These activities will allow you or your employee team to improve your applied/practical understanding of your topic area. You should present your timeline graphically or in a table. It should show clearly what activities you will engage in and at what times over the three weeks. Some examples of activities you might choose which develop your understanding and/or skills on the topic will be provided on UTS Online. These are only examples, you should be creative in thinking about other options!

B2. Implementation

Implement your plan over a three week period, keeping an online journal (on UTSOnline) of reflections, notes and observations

B3. Summary and Reflection

Write a summary and personal reflection on your three-week implementation. Specifically, consider:

What have you learned about this topic that might be of use to you as a future manager?

Did your experiences resonate or conflict with anything you read in the literature (reviewed in Part A)?

What did you learn about yourself through this exercise?

What lessons about your topic do you think are critical for managers and employees to learn?

The Structured Assessment in Practice; the Msaf (LIV-MAAS)

Instructions for use

The assessment below contains selected, validated questions from the LIV- MAAS1 checklist that have been adapted here for use in the assessment of independent/supplementary prescribers.

The assessment which takes the form of a patient consultation may take place at any time in the practice placement period but must be successfully passed by the time the practice portfolio is submitted.

Student’s whose scope of practice will include prescribing for both adults and children should complete two observed assessments; one for a child and one for an adult. Please copy and paste so that there are two LIVMASS templates and indicate in the LIVMASS sumamry section which assessment was for an adult and which for a child. In keeping with the existing NMC (2006) Standards of Proficiency for Nurse / Midwife Prescribers any assessment should take place within the context of the students work setting, wherever that might be. A medical practitioner who is experienced and competent in prescribing for children should confirm the demonstration of competence.

Sections not applicable to the student’s area of practice can be discounted. The assessment is divided into three areas; communication and interpersonal skills, the structure of the consultation and prescribing.

Question 2 (15 marks)

It is now June and you have been asked to do a budget for The Flu Shot clinic as the flu season will soon begin.  The clinic will operate for the months of July and August. As the hospital has no spare space it will rent a room in a nearby shopping centre for the clinic.  The clinic will also employ a nurse to give the injections and a receptionist to assist with arranging vaccinations. Vaccines are expected to cost $15 per patient. In addition, the clinic will give each patient either regular or glow-in-the-dark band aids. A regular band aid is budgeted at $2, while a glow-in-the-dark band aid is budgeted at $3. Children always request glow-in-the-dark band aids. It is anticipated that the clinic will be paid $45 for each child and $30 for each adult that receive vaccinations. During last year’s flu season, the clinic saw 400 adults and 700 children each month and operated for 2 months.

The nurse is paid $10 per child and $5 per adult and the receptionist is paid $700 per month. Rent and utilities are $500 per month.

1. Using this information do a budget for the clinic for July and August. You are told to assume that there will be a 10% increase in the number of both children and adults wanting vaccinations this year. (4 marks)
2. The actual results for this clinic are shown below. Management want to know why the budgeted result and actual results for each month are different. Do a budget variance analysis for each month to identify what caused the actual and budgeted amounts to be different. You are told that in July the clinic saw 500 adults and 900 children, and in August the clinic saw 300 adults and 600 children. (7 marks)
3. Write a brief report to your manager summarising your findings and give recommendations for how to prepare the budget for next year. (4 marks)

Reducing New Product Stockouts at Coles

You have been employed in the supply chain management organization of Coles for the past two years. You are very excited when you are asked to join a team being formed to address serious inventory management problems often associated with the introduction of new products. Too often, customers who make a trip to Coles to purchase a highly advertised new product are disappointed to find the store is out of stock of that particular item. Such stockouts result in lost sales for both Coles and the product supplier and the potential loss of customers as shoppers look elsewhere to find the new product. The resulting loss of customer goodwill can have a longterm effect on sales. Solving this problem will require a balancing act; the company needs to carry sufficient inventory of new products to meet customer demand while avoiding excessive inventory levels that increase costs.

The team you have joined consists of nine people representing the finance, marketing, and supply chain management organizations at both Coles and two of Coles’ largest suppliers. The team is charged with looking at a wide range of solutions, including improved analytics and forecasting systems, customer-loyalty analysis tools to provide insights into customer buying patterns, and improved distribution methods to cut costs and delivery times.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. The leader of the team has asked that each member share a brief personal background paragraph that outlines the individual’s knowledge and experience relevant to solving this problem. Create a paragraph for a team member who is a well-qualified, but relatively inexperienced representative of the Coles supply chain management organization.
2. What actions would you recommend to minimize potential start-up issues for this virtual team? each student is also to explain Why they recommended the particular actions that they did to minimize potential start-up issues for the virtual team in question.
3. a) During the first week of the discussion forum assignment, students are required to post a comment to each discussion area as per parameters provided by the instructor.
4. b) Your original post needs to be a minimum of 200 words. I am looking for around 230 words for full points as this should be enough to state a fully developed idea or opinion. You must have a reference cited to support your opinion. The reference cannot be the textbook.
5. c) You will find it easier to get the word count and to configure the References and citations if you do it in MS Word. This also allows you to use the grammar and spell check features.
6. d) References and citation posting should be single spaced but in APA format.
