Question 1
With the advancements in technology, it has never been easier to conduct business in the global marketplace. Although this has expanded the possibilities of where one can conduct business, it is not without its disadvantages. What are some of the issues that one faces when dealing in a global marketplace? What advice would you give to a business that wants to become international?
Respond to this… Business that would like to go international face many challenges. Everything from cybercrime, exchange rates, ethics, law, politics and the list can go on play a part wherever the company decides to place their company or production. Unless the owner is well versed in the political, ethical and culture of a location they would be wise to hire a consultant or two. A business owner can see numbers and where a particular product may be useful in an area, though how to get it there can be a bit a challenge. They must research as to how their product will affect the local culture. For example, when google and apple moved into China there was lots of resistance they were forced to make concessions to their product and block certain things. They also had to allow the government to watch everything as they did not want certain information getting to the general public. When the owner wants to expand into other countries and become global they must be willing to make concessions to that country in order for it all to work. They would also be wise to find what the ethical nature of the country is and if they agree with the practice. A good business owner will not just think about the money they can make as that should not be the bottom line (at least that is my thoughts). In the end, the global business has many challenges that they face, how they approach them can make or break the company in that area.
Question 2
answer the following questions:
• What concept(s) did you find to be the most/least enjoyable? Why?
• Which concept(s) do you think will be most applicable in your chosen career? Explain.
• Are there any concepts that you continue to struggle with that you would like more resources for before you begin your final exam?
On the response post discuss the similarities and differences among your postings.
Respond to this… The idea I find enjoyable are from module 2 and 3; the reason is that we used Z-distribution or the t-distribution to construct confidence intervals for a proportion or a mean, and we used Chi-Square distribution to create confidence interval estimates of a population standard deviation or variance. The concept(s) I think will be most applicable in my nursing career I think are, Hypothesis testing, P value, and Probability will be the most applicable for me. The reason is, we used probability in everyday clinical practice and the concepts behind hypothesis testing. The P-value is the probability of obtaining a value of the test statistic as large as or greater than the one computed from the data when in reality there is no difference between the different treatments. In other words, the P- value is the likelihood of being incorrect when attesting that a disagreement exists. We must recognize we do not discover proof by hypothesis examination, and doubt will always reside in experimental research; at the most, we can only quantify our uncertainty.
Question 3
Environmentalists argue that military, economic, and environmental security are interrelated. If a nation’s environment is degraded to the point that soils become widely infertile or numerous workers get sick from pollution, the economy will deteriorate. If economies fail, unemployment and poverty will increase and national security may be threatened by internal unrest. Hostile nations or foreign criminal groups may also take advantage of a nation’s weakened environment, chaotic social structure, and poor economy. Others argue that while the environment is important to a nation’s security, terrorism, unemployment, hunger, and inflation are more urgent and short-term threats.

Do you believe that environmental security is just as important as economic and military security?

Heinz’s dilemma is a frequently used example in many ethics and morality classes.Write a justification for all 3 possibilities in the Heinz Dilemma.

Heinz’s dilemma is a frequently used example in many ethics and morality classes. One well-known version of the dilemma, used in Lawrence Kohlberg‘s stages of moral development, is stated as follows:

A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: “No, I discovered the drug and I’m going to make money from it.” So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man’s laboratory to steal the drug for his wife. Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?

Heinz dilemma. (2015, February 12). In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 17:23, February 25, 2015, from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heinz_dilemma&oldid=646764520

Theresa, Jose, and Darnell all have different opinions about the best option in the Heinz dilemma.

Theresa agrees with option 1: Heinz should steal the drug and not go to prison, because this is unfair.

Jose agrees with option 2: Heinz should not steal the drug because he would be breaking the law.

Darnell agrees with option 3: Heinz should steal the drug and accept any prison sentence.

Write a justification for all 3 possibilities in the Heinz Dilemma. This will require you to take 3 different perspectives on the dilemma, including ones that you may not personally agree with. For each possibility, include these points:

Why would a person believe this is the right option?
What age do you think this person might be?
What kinds of problems and successes is a person with this point of view likely to encounter during their lives?

Assumptions
Two hospitals report their annual projected revenue for five years to the local newspaper for a story on the area’s future economic outlook. However, Hospital 1 has applied a cumulative inflation factor of 5% per year while Hospital 2 has not applied any inflation factor. Thus the information is not properly comparable.
Projected Revenue
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Hospital 1 $20,000,000 $22,500,000 $27,500,000 $27,500,000 $30,000,000
Hospital 2 $20,000,000 $21,000,000 $25,000,000 $24,000,000 $26,000,000
Required
Revise Hospital 2’s projections by applying a cumulative inflation factor of 5% per year.
Assignment Exercise 14–3
The head of your department is a prominent researcher. A health research foundation has asked him travel to London to give an important speech at a conference. He will then travel to Paris to tour a research facility before returning home. Although his travel expenses are being funded by the foundation, he will still need to take along some personal money. Consequently, he asks you to figure the exchange rates for $500 and for $1,000 in both pounds and euros. He explains that he is trying to judge the spending power of U.S. dollars when converted to the other currencies so he can decide how much personal money to take on the trip.
Required
Locate the current exchange rates for pounds and euros and compute the currency conversion for $500 and for $1,000.
Assignment Exercise 14–4: The Discovery
The Chief Financial Officer at Sample General Hospital has just discovered that the hospital’s Chief of the Medical Staff’s son Jason, a student at the local community college, is paid $100 per week year-round for grounds maintenance at the hospital’s Outpatient Center.
The CFO, no fan of the Chief of Medical Staff, now wants you to prepare a report that compares the relative costs of lawn care at each of three locations: the hospital itself, the outpatient center, and the hospital-affiliated nursing home down the block.
Required
Review the available information for grounds maintenance at the three facilities. Decide how to convert this information into comparable data. Then prepare a report, based on your assumptions, that presents comparable costs of grounds care. Also provide your assessment of what the best future course of action should be.
