Data Analysis Plan

By Academic Wizard Blog

Data Analysis Plan

This upcoming task will ideally, but not necessarily, be focused on a topic you are interested in as a possible topic for the project you will conduct. The purpose of this project is not for you to draft parts of the project you will conduct. The purpose is for you to demonstrate how to formulate a data analysis plan that will fulfill the purpose of a practice change project. Here is the outline of part of the content of a proposal for a hypothetical DNP project with a focus on statistical analysis. DNP projects are a type of translational research – translating previous research into practice. For this task, you should use a previously published project or research study as the basis for the methodology of a hypothetical project. When this is done in an actual project, the previous research methodology is adopted to the specific setting, patients, and time frame for the project. Cite the research study that you are using as a basis for your proposal Use this outline to organize your contribution this week.

State the purpose of the project. Cite the research that is the basis for the proposal.
Transform the purpose statement into a PICOT-formatted project question (See the Gallagher & Melnyk, 2019, editorial for additional information cited under the Instructional Resources for this week.).
- P = Population – who will be included in the project and how many groups will be studied in the project.
- I = Intervention – the treatment or intervention that will be manipulated or changed during the implementation phase of the project.
- C = Comparison – the usual treatment or intervention used prior to the project.
- O = Outcome – the characteristic that will be measured to determine the effect of the intervention.
  - Find or identify a data collection instrument to measure this variable and give the name of the instrument.
- Data Analysis Plan
  - Indicate what type of variable this instrument collects (categorical or continuous) and what level of measurement it is (nominal, ordinal, interval, variable).
- T = Time: Total time for data collection from the start of data collection to the end.
Data analysis – Descriptive statistics:
- Identify the descriptive statistics that will be used to organize and summarize the data collected that will fulfill the purpose of the study – choose one of the descriptive statistics listed below and give the rationale for your choice based on the type of data produced by the data collection instrument:
  - Measure of central tendency with measure of variability and range.
  - Frequency with percentages.

Data Analysis Plan

Describe the most effective method to use for illustrating the descriptive statistics with a graph or histogram.,
Data analysis – inferential statistic:
- Name the most appropriate inferential statistic to use to fulfill the purpose of the study:,
- Give the rationale for your choice based on the purpose statement PICO-formatted project question, and the type of data produced by the data collection instrument.,
- What are the assumptions for this test?,
Write the null and alternative hypotheses for the inferential statistic in words and in an equation using the same designations of the population variables and time that were used in the purpose statement and PICOT-formatted project question.,
How will the effect size of the findings be determined? Give the rationale for your choice based on the inferential test used.,

Organizational Structure & Change Management

By Academic Wizard Blog

Organizational Structure & Change Management

Flexibility, adaptability, and responsiveness to the external environment is essential if organizations are going to survive and thrive in a rapidly changing environment. Therefore, leaders and managers must know how to implement change successfully in their organizations or departments in response to rapidly shifting conditions. The ability to respond to change is partially determined by an organization’s structure and culture, along with having the knowledge of how to implement change effectively. The purpose of this project is to examine your understanding of the roles and skills of managers and to build a set of skills that will help you understand how to implement organizational change strategies. Using a case study, you will be asked to demonstrate how motivation, relationship building, and trust affect organizational effectiveness as change is implemented.

Step 1: Carefully read the case study below.

Step 2: Comprise a 5-6 page paper (excluding the title page and reference list page) that includes ALL of the following points:

Research the concepts of organizational structure and change management and use this as the basis for creating your change management plan.,
Research the concepts of motivation trust and behavior as they individually and collectively relate to the ability for leaders to create sound management relationships that ultimately lead to successful organizations and the concepts of organizational structure and change management as they relate to the creation and implementation of a global organizational structure.,
Apply your research on the concepts of motivation trust and behavior to the relationship-building issues identified in the case study. ,
Develop a forward strategy for leadership and management that focuses on relationship building diversity and trust that will help the organization implement these new strategies.,
Consider change management and global organizational culture as you develop your plan.,
Explain the reasoning/conclusions behind your plan elements and support them with your research class materials and case-study facts.

You are expected to understand the Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy and know that it is your responsibility to learn about instructor and general academic expectations with regard to proper citation of sources.

Case Study

Ann McConnell is chief information officer (CIO) at Jackson Spice Ingredients (JSI), a large Maryland spice and food ingredient company. In an industry that has a large national market presence, yet is global in its need for raw materials, JSI is always looking for ways to increase productivity and speed things up while staying connected to its worldwide sources. The mission of the organization is “to profitably expand its global leadership position in the spice, seasoning markets while being good stewards of the environment.”

Two years into the job, McConnell suggested to company president, Charles Jackson, that it implement a new global organizational structure that is focused on divisions or geographic areas, thus enabling a stronger focus on local environments and sustainability. One of the first steps would be to reorganize the current functional structure and moving or hiring new managers for each of the new divisions. The new divisional structure will enable more of a focus on the local environment, thus assisting managements in understanding how they can impact each demographic area.

Organizational Structure & Change Management

In a meeting with managers, Charles and Ann need to introduce the new strategies. They know that 3 of the 7 current managers will be reluctant to change to the new organizational structure and strategy. Charles and Ann need to consider what management strategies they will need to focus on how to get all the managers on board and they need to consider what management skills will be most needed to implement the new strategies.

Taking into consideration what you have learned the past few weeks on learning organizations, culture, and human capital, develop a strategy for leadership to use that will help management in their new roles and that will focus on the organizational vision and purpose

Managing Difficult Employees

By Academic Wizard Blog

Managing Difficult Employees as a health care supervisor

Find/read/submit an article on the above topic: In summarizing the article, be sure to focus on the Key Terms: Difficult Employee & Labeling highlighted in your textbook (Term listed below)

Difficult Employee: Usually, a standard or minimally acceptable performer, this is the employee who is seen as exhibiting an attitude problem: a bad attitude, a poor attitude, or a generally negative attitude

Labeling: The tendency to apply simplistic labels to employees based on their behavior, for example, “grouch,” “know it all,” “hothead,” and such. Labels will forever be used as a matter of convenience, but it must be recognized that labels tend to stigmatize, and rarely if ever is a label completely descriptive of an individual.
