Tasks:

 

• List the first eight assumptions of the free market.
• Discuss how each assumption is important.
• Explain your conclusions for each of the assumptions relating to today’s provision of healthcare.

 

Submission Details:

 

• The project should be 500 words or more and contain at least three references from peer-reviewed articles written in a Microsoft Word document

Accounting is the language of business, and it is not a dead language! The FASB is responsible for ensuring that all relevant and material financial information is properly codified in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

The Good Night Inn is located on downtown St. Clair. It is operated by the Paul Bryant Group which has a number of other downtown hotels. The company has over 100 full-time employees. 

 

Camilla worked full-time at the Good Night Inn for 18 months as a front desk clerk. She became pregnant and requested from her super- visor a 12-week leave of absence beginning 4 weeks before her due date. The supervisor granted the leave. Camilla left her job as agreed 4 weeks before her due date. The delivery went well and she had a healthy baby girl. Two weeks before her leave was to end she contacted the supervisor and informed him she would be returning to work as agreed. The supervisor informed her that she could come back to work but the only position he had open was a dishwasher position in the hotel’s restaurant at a lower wage. Camilla thanked him and hung up. 

 

The Paul Bryant Group received a notice from John Liu, an attor- ney, that Camilla was  lling a lawsuit against the company. 

 

Case Study Analysis Questions 

 

• What basis might Camilla have for a lawsuit against the Paul Bryant Group?
   
• What speci c steps could have been taken to avoid the current situation?
   
• What, speci cally, can be done to overcome the challenges and generate motion in a positive direction for the Paul Bryant Group?

• Choose one risk or contingency that you may uncover as part of your due diligence in planning for an HRIS implementation. Identify in detail why it is critical, and why it occurs.
• In your response, identify a phase of the project that is impacted by the risk or contingency you identified.

It may help you to be familiar with the concept of poor governance, because this often plays a significant part in why a country is underdeveloped. According to the World Bank, governance is defined as how power is exercised in the management of a country’s economic and social resources for development. Therefore, if good governance is synonymous with sound development management, then poor governance means a government has failed to deliver desirable outcomes for its people. This could mean that officials are corrupt, not transparent with their decisions, unqualified to make decisions in the first place, or prone to make decisions based on racism, tribalism or ethnicity — all of which are very common practices in LCDs.

 

6. The most common factor used to decide whether countries are underdeveloped nations is through the Human Development Index. Countries that are underdeveloped in nature offer poor health care, few educational opportunities, a low average life expectancy, a low number of job opportunities, few recreational facilities, poor economic growth, a low standard of living and a poverty-stricken life.

Part 2

 

Assignment 2: Project WBS & Schedule 

 

Note: This is the second of four assignments which,  as a whole, will cover all aspects of the project life cycle relevant to  your selected project.

 

Now, it is time to develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and  project schedule for the project that you discussed in Assignment 1.  This assignment requires you to:

 

1. Create a WBS for your project using the proper format (MS Word, MS  Excel, Visio, or any other applicable format) to depict WBS graphically  (see Figure 4.1 from Chapter 4 of the Gedo textbook). Alternatively, you  may use a coded format using MS Word (see Figure 4.3 from Chapter 4 of  the Gido textbook as an example). The example is in MS Project format  but the same could be done in MS Excel.
2. Create a project schedule that lists all of the core activities,  dates (start and finish), and resources to complete your project. While  it is recommended that you use MS Project, you can use MS Excel to  create your schedule. Your project schedule must contain at least 30  separate activities/tasks.

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

 

• Analyze project management processes for scheduling and sequencing work components.
• Appraise the process of determining the cost and relevant budget required for a project component.
• Evaluate systems for cost tracking and budget monitoring.
