Faculty Comments:

 

I have included some links from the course site for assistance with APA. There are many parts of your SA report that indicate material taken directly from other sources without appropriate citation such as direct verbiage. I believe this to be an issue with APA errors rather than plagiarism. Please rewrite the assessment and highlight your changes to reflect credit to the sources. For instance “In the wake of a global nursing shortage, maldistribution of the health workforce, increasing healthcare costs and expanding workload, it has become imperative to examine the role of nurse managers leadership styles on their staffs outcomes.” This is taken directly from the article.

You may want to review your SA report with your coach for guidance as well in understanding the report as I will have to report future concerns as an academic honesty breach.

Please use headers per APA guidelines to assist with flow of the assessment.

Application Paper At the end of the course, your final exam will be an application paper, which describes how you anticipate the concepts from this course will apply to your professional life. This paper should be written with your current situation in mind and looking forward, but not applying the courses concepts retrospectively to a past situation.
Among the questions you should address in this paper are:
What are the most relevant concepts from the course to you?
How do you anticipate those concepts impacting you professionally?
How will you apply these concepts to your future work?
(Optional) What from this course has made an impact on you personally or professionally as you have progressed through this course?
What from this course do you anticipate having the greatest impact on you professionally as you move forward in your career?
Knowing what you know after taking this course, what will you do differently from now on?
As you answer these questions, be as specific as possible. Dont just say, I found the concept of culture to be relevant to me. Write specifically about how you would apply a certain model to a situation.
The important criteria in this paper are application and specificity. Your success in this paper will depend not only on how well you demonstrate an understanding of concepts, but on how well you can apply them to real world situations. The more specificity you bring to your discussion, the better the application will be.
This paper should be written at a level consistent with a graduate program. However, as this is a highly personal paper, it is acceptableand advisableto write in the first-person. Think of this paper as telling a storya personal one about you and your work.

“The Triple Bottom Line”

The concept behind the “triple bottom line” is that companies are responsible to all their stakeholders. This includes everyone who is involved with the company whether directly or indirectly, as well as the planet on which we all live. This approach sees shareholders as part of the stakeholder group, but only as part of it. Before writing your response to this weeks discussion, please review the following resource for more details on the triple bottom line: https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newSTR_79.htm.

For this week’s discussion, please respond to the following:

How would you implement the concept of Triple Bottom Line (People, Planet, Profit) at the NAB company you created? 
Notes:

Your response should have three headings, each focusing on an aspect of the triple bottom line as outlined below.
Check out Chapter 14: Social Responsibility & Sustainability for more information.
You will use this week’s information in Assignment 3: Ethics and Social Responsibility Plan.
Keep the following format in mind as you complete this week’s discussion:

Profit – When looking at profit from this theory’s perspective, the idea is that profits will help empower and sustain the community as a whole, and not just represent a benefit for the shareholders. (Briefly explain your approach.)
People – Discuss your approach to care about suppliers, customers, community, employees. (For example, to care about employees you can provide a good working environment, training and development opportunities, healthcare, etc.)
Planet – Discuss your approach to minimize your impact on the environment. (An example would be to create processes to minimize waste or reduce energy usage; maybe you are using recycled materials, etc.)
