Week 10 Assignment – Cultural Information Report

Scenario

The company you work for recently acquired several international locations. You were informed that multiple positions will be moving overseas over the course of the next few years. Your manager has asked you to provide a comprehensive cultural information report to help employees make the transition to overseas employment.

Instructions

Select a country where a specific job will be stationed. You may select from the United Nations’ list of developed economies (Table A, page 169) in World Economic Situation and Prospects [PDF].

• If you wish to select a country other than those listed in the UN document, you must request permission from your instructor.
• Make sure the county of choice is logical for the company you are using.

Develop a 6–8 page cultural information report that will help an employee better understand how to make the transition overseas. Include the following:

1. Write an Executive Summary that explains the organizational strategy for expanding company operations to this particular country.
   • What is the company strategy for working in this country?
   • What are the expectations of leadership (ROI)?
2. Prepare an overview of the critical information an American would need to know to live and work in the selected country.
   • Language(s) spoken.
   • Currency, economy, political climate.
   • Housing, cost of living, transportation.
   • Health care.
   • Recreation.
3. Develop a list of advice on successfully assimilating into the selected country and culture.
   • Local customs, values, and traditions.
4. Determine the type of immigration laws or visa requirements needed to work in the selected country.
5. Discuss three ways company leadership can provide human and material resources to support employees in foreign locations.
   • What will help these employees succeed before, during, and after the transition period?

Note: The numbered assignment requirements outlined above correspond to the grading criteria in the assignment scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. The bulleted content below the numbered criteria is there to clarify, support, and contextualize the assignment instructions.

Format

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Develop an informational report that provides cultural information necessary for successful job performance in a foreign country.

• For this assessment, you will develop a Word document or an online resource repository of at least 12 annotated professional or scholarly resources that you consider critical for the audience of your safety improvement plan, pertaining to medication administration, to understand or implement to ensure the success of the plan.Communication in the health care environment consists of an information-sharing experience whether through oral or written messages (Chard & Makary, 2015). As health care organizations and nurses strive to create a culture of safety and quality care, the importance of interprofessional collaboration, the development of tool kits, and the use of wikis become more relevant and vital. In addition to the dissemination of information and evidence-based findings and the development of tool kits, continuous support for and availability of such resources are critical. Among the most popular methods to promote ongoing dialogue and information sharing are blogs, wikis, websites, and social media. Nurses know how to support people in time of need or crisis and how to support one another in the workplace; wikis in particular enable nurses to continue that support beyond the work environment. Here they can be free to share their unique perspectives, educate others, and promote health care wellness at local and global levels (Kaminski, 2016).You are encouraged to complete the Determining the Relevance and Usefulness of Resources activity prior to developing the repository. This activity will help you determine which resources or research will be most relevant to address a particular need. This may be useful as you consider how to explain the purpose and relevance of the resources you are assembling for your tool kit. The activity is for your own practice and self-assessment, and demonstrates course engagement.Demonstration of Proficiency
  By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
  • Competency 1: Analyze the elements of a successful quality improvement initiative. 
    • Analyze usefulness of resources for role group responsible for implementing quality and safety improvements with medication administration.
  • Competency 2: Analyze factors that lead to patient safety risks. 
    • Analyze the value of resources to reduce patient safety risk or improve quality with medication administration.
  • Competency 3: Identify organizational interventions to promote patient safety. 
    • Identify necessary resources to support the implementation and sustainability of a safety improvement initiative focusing on medication administration.
  • Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based strategies to communicate in a manner that supports safe and effective patient care. 
    • Present compelling reasons and relevant situations for resource tool kit to be used by its target audience.
    • Communicate resource tool kit in a clear, logically structured, and professional manner that applies current APA style and formatting.

    Nurses are often asked to implement processes, concepts, or practices—sometimes with little preparatory communication or education. One way to encourage sustainability of quality and process improvements is to assemble an accessible, user-friendly tool kit for knowledge and process documentation. Creating a resource repository or tool kit is also an excellent way to follow up an educational or in-service session, as it can help to reinforce attendees’ new knowledge as well as the understanding of its value. By practicing creating a simple online tool kit, you can develop valuable technology skills to improve your competence and efficacy. This technology is easy to use, and resources are available to guide you.Scenario
    For this assessment, consider taking one of these two approaches:
  1. Build on the work done in your first three assessments and create an online tool kit or resource repository that will help the audience of your in-service understand the research behind your safety improvement plan pertaining to medication administration and put the plan into action.
  2. Locate a safety improvement plan (your current organization, the Institution for Healthcare Improvement, or a publicly available safety improvement initiative) pertaining to medication administration and create an online tool kit or resource repository that will help an audience understand the research behind the safety improvement plan and how to put the plan into action.
  3. Preparation
     Google Sites is recommended for this assessment; the tools are free to use and should offer you a blend of flexibility and simplicity as you create your online tool kit. Please note that this requires a Google account; use your Gmail or GoogleDocs login, or create an account following the directions under the “Create Account” menu.Refer to the following links to help you get started with Google Sites:
  • G Suite Learning Center. (n.d.). Get started with Sites. https://gsuite.google.com/learning-center/products…
  • Google. (n.d.). Sites. https://sites.google.com
  • Google. (n.d.). Sites help. https://support.google.com/sites/?hl=en#topic=
  • Instructions
    Using Google Sites, assemble an online resource tool kit containing at least 12 annotated resources that you consider critical to the success of your safety improvement initiative. These resources should enable nurses and others to implement and maintain the safety improvement you have developed.It is recommended that you focus on the 3 or 4 most critical categories or themes with respect to your safety improvement initiative pertaining to medication administration. For example, for an initiative that concerns improving workplace safety for practitioners, you might choose broad themes such as general organizational safety and quality best practices; environmental safety and quality risks; individual strategies to improve personal and team safety; and process best practices for reporting and improving environmental safety issues.Following the recommended scheme, you would collect 3 resources on average for each of the 4 categories focusing on safety with medication administration. Each resource listing should include the following:
  • An APA-formatted citation of the resource with a working link.
  • A description of the information, skills, or tools provided by the resource.
  • A brief explanation of how the resource can help nurses better understand or implement the safety improvement initiative pertaining to medication administration.
  • A description of how nurses can use this resource and when its use may be appropriate.
  • Remember that you must make your site “public” so that your faculty can access it. Check out the Google Sites resources for more information.Here is an example entry:
  • Merret, A., Thomas, P., Stephens, A., Moghabghab, R., & Gruneir, M. (2011). A collaborative approach to fall prevention. Canadian Nurse, 107(8), 24–29. www.canadian-nurse.com/articles/issues/2011/octobe… 
    • This article presents the Geriatric Emergency Management-Falls Intervention Team (GEM-FIT) project. It shows how a collaborative nurse lead project can be implemented and used to improve collaboration and interdisciplinary teamwork, as well as improve the delivery of health care services. This resource is likely more useful to nurses as a resource for strategies and models for assembling and participating in an interdisciplinary team than for specific fall-prevention strategies. It is suggested that this resource be reviewed prior to creating an interdisciplinary team for a collaborative project in a health care setting.
  • Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.
  • Identify necessary resources to support the implementation and continued sustainability of a safety improvement initiative pertaining to medication administration.
  • Analyze the usefulness of resources to the role group responsible for implementing quality and safety improvements focusing on medication administration.
  • Analyze the value of resources to reduce patient safety risk related to medication administration.
  • Present compelling reasons and relevant situations for use of resource tool kit by its target audience.

Disc 1. During 2017, Amazon made its first major foray into bricks-and-mortar retailing with the acquisition of Whole Foods Market, the up-market supermarket chain. The acquisition followed Amazon’s entry into online food retailing with Amazon Fresh. The shares of Kroger, the biggest supermarket chain in the United States, fell by 11% on news of the deal.

How might Kroger use the competitor analysis framework outlined in Figure 4.4 to predict Amazon’s competitive strategy in the US grocery market?

Disc 2. By 2018, the online travel agency industry had consolidated around two leaders: Expedia (which had acquired Travelocity, Lastminute.com, Hotels.com, Trivago, and Orbitz) and Priceline (which owned booking.com, Kayak, Rentalcars.com, and OpenTable). These two market leaders competed with numerous smaller online travel agents (e.g., TripAdvisor, Travelzoo, Skyscanner, Ctrip), with traditional travel agencies (e.g., Carlson Wagonlit, TUI, American Express—all of which had adopted a “bricks ‘n’ clicks” business model), and with direct online sales by airlines, hotel chains, and car rental companies. Amazon and Google were both potential entrants to the market. The online travel agents are dependent upon computerized airline reservation systems such as Sabre, Amadeus, and Travelport.

Use Porter’s five forces framework to predict the likely profitability of the online travel agency industry over the next ten years.
