About Your Signature Assignment

Signature/Benchmark Assignments are designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. Signature/Benchmark Assignments are graded with a grading guide or an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for course/program improvements.

Format your assignment to APA standards.

Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab as a Microsoft® Word document.

Identify a specific job within a specific company that you might be interested in applying for after you graduate from the University of Phoenix. 

Research the job and the field in general, as well as ethical issues managerial accountants have faced that would pertain to that field. Also, educate yourself on the basics of operations within the job and company you have selected.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper to include the following:

• Summarize the main duties of the job.
• Describe a specific ethical issue you might face in that position using 2 credible sources to support your description.
• Summarize the IMA’s standards of ethical practice and conflict resolution guide. 
• Analyze how the IMA’s standards of ethical practice and conflict resolution guide applies to the ethical issue.
• Predict how you would handle the ethical issue.
• Hypothesize what would happen if no one in the company followed the IMA’s standards of ethical practice.
• Assess why it is important to follow the IMA’s standards of ethical practice.
• Design or name any methods of internal controls you think could prevent or detect the unethical behavior in the future.

Instructions

Literature review

In consultation with your instructor, choose a specific business research topic and complete a full literature review on the topic. The topic for this assignment should be different than your topic in the W3 project.

In your review:

• Synthesize relevant and relatively current (last 10 years) literature in a focused field or topic. Although the review should focus on recent literature, include any historical development that clarifies the topic. Grading assessment of this item will consider the thoroughness of the reviewed literature for covering your topic. For example, if you are doing a literature review on some area of transformational leadership but do not include works by James MacGregor Burns or Bernard Bass, then you have not appropriately reviewed the literature on the topic.
• Assess the primary concepts, theories of interests, and methodologies within the literature on this topic. Grading assessment of this item will consider the depth of your review. For example, if you are doing a literature review on transformational leadership but do not note aspects such as inspirational motivation, idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, then you have not adequately reviewed the literature on the topic.
• Appraise the current state of research (where are we now according to the literature) and the opportunities for new research that would further the field. Your appraisal might propose supported relationships between concepts or factors in the written research that have not yet been tested. Or, your appraisal might defend the existence of apparent gaps or contradictions in the existing research. Grading assessment of this item will consider the clarity of your arguments and strength of your documented support for the proposed relationship or apparent gaps and contradictions. For example, if you propose that no one has clarified whether transformational leadership is inherently ethical, then you need to make that connection (support) from each piece of literature that you review.
• Propose the next step(s) to address identified problems or opportunities. Building from the currently un-researched relationships or gap you defended in the literature review of your topic, articulate a general framework for how you might address the gap or test the relationships. Include possible benefits to both the academic discipline and professional practice that your proposed research or next steps would provide. Grading assessment of this item will consider the persuasiveness of your proposed framework and benefits.

Submission Details:

• Complete your response to this assignment in an 8- to 10-page Microsoft Word document, using APA style.

Assignment:

Exercises: 

1. How is strategy formulation related to situational analysis?
2. How might a retrenchment strategy and a penetration strategy be linked together? What are some other logical combinations of strategies? How may a combination of strategies be related to vision?

Professional Development: 

1. Collect examples of mission, vision, and values statements from various health care organizations — be sure to include those that are for-profit, not-for-profit, public and private. The Internet provides a useful tool for obtaining real-time examples to review and evaluate. Utilizing the criteria discussed in the textbook readings, determine the extent to which the actual statements apply the principles discussed. Identify the similarities and differences between “for profit” and “not-for-profit” examples. Compare and contrast statements obtained from public and private health care organizations.
2. Work through Exhibit 6-4 (p. 212), “Strategic Thinking Map – Hierarchy of Strategic Decisions and Alternatives,” for an organization with which you are familiar. Practice selecting different alternatives under each strategy type.

In this Lab Assignment, you will analyze an Episodic note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.

To Prepare

Review the Episodic note case study your instructor provides you for this week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your Episodic note case study.

• With regard to the Episodic note case study provided:
  • Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
  • Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.
  • Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
  • Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

The Assignment

1. Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
2. Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
3. Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or why not?
4. What diagnostic tests would be appropriate for this case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
5. Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.
