You are employed at a large global high-tech company that has offices worldwide in such places as Tokyo, London, Bombay, Toronto, Mexico City, Chicago, and Seattle to name a few. Although sales have been reasonable these past few months even with the global economic crises, an internal crisis exists related to employee morale being at an all-time low. There are many different beliefs on what is right and what is wrong across the board, especially when it comes to the cultural and communication differences and the technological equipment challenges. There are also concerns regarding the selfishness of the employees; where the employees do not enjoy working as a team. Your supervisor has tasked you as the as the VP of the Service Department to prepare a research paper that will communicate information and solutions as well as provide a foundation of knowledge so that you can work with your peers and employees to solve these problems. At a minimum, your research paper must:

What steps can management take to make the teams cohesive? Evaluate the steps that are necessary in this scenario to create high performing teams.
Evaluate the importance of the internal environmental factors that include the cultural, language, political, and technological differences that will affect the team building process.
What can be done to overcome the communication barriers between locations? What are the best practices that should be implemented going forward?
Present your findings as a Word document of 3-5 pages formatted in APA style.

Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:

Title page: Remember the running head and title in all capital letters.
Abstract: This is a summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third-person voice.
Body: The body of your paper begins on the page following the title page and abstract page, and it must be double-spaced between paragraphs. The typeface should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics except as required for APA level headings and references.

A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
Reference page: References that align with your in-text academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hang indention, italics, and upper- and lower-case usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the reference page is not a bibliography, but it is a further listing of the abbreviated in-text citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-text citation.

Discussion: Understanding Scope of Practice in relation to Certification and Licensure
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a non-profit organization comprised of members from each state board of nursing in the U.S., the District of Columbia, and the four U.S. territories. Their role is to provide a platform for all state boards of nursing to convene, discuss, and ensure all state boards work together to provide the appropriate regulation to ensure that public health, safety, and welfare is the primary focus. A key element of NP licensure is understanding the components of Scope of Practice and subsequent practice within the parameters of the educational program completed and appropriate national certification.

To prepare:
Consider whether primary care NP graduates are qualified to seek employment in acute care settings such as ER, OR, or hospitalist/intensivist
Review and select one of the following case studies to research in depth:

THE OLD RULES OF MARKETING AND PR ARE INEFFECTIVE IN AN ONLINE WORLD

As I write this, I am considering buying a new car. As it is for billions of other global consumers, the web is my primary source of information when I consider a purchase. So I sat down at the computer and began poking around.

Figuring they were the natural place to begin my research, I started with some major automaker sites. That was a big mistake. I was assaulted on the homepages with a barrage of TV-style broadcast advertising. And most of the one-way messages focused on price. For example, at the end of 2016 at Ford,1the all-capital-letters headline screamed, “YEAR END EVENT FINAL DAYS. UP to $1,500 TOTAL CASH.” Dodge2announced a similar offer: “BIG FINISH 2016. GET 20% OFF MSRP.” Other manufacturers touted similar flashy offers.

I’m not planning to buy a car in the next 100 hours, thank you. I may not even buy one within 100 days! I’m just kicking the virtual tires. These sites and most others assume that I’m ready to buy a car right now. But I actually just wanted to learn something. Sure, I got graphics and animation, TV commercials, pretty pictures, and low financing offers on these sites, but little else.

I looked around for some personality on these sites and didn’t find much, because the automaker websites portray their organizations as nameless, faceless corporations. In fact, the sites I looked at are so similar that they’re effectively interchangeable. At each site, I felt as if I was being marketed to with a string of messages that had been developed in a lab or via focus 16groups. It just didn’t feel authentic. If I wanted to see car TV ads, I would have flipped on the TV. I was struck with the odd feeling that all large automakers’ sites were designed and built by the same Madison Avenue ad guy. These sites were advertising tome, not building a relationship withme. They were luring me in with one-way messages, not educating me about the companies’ products. Guess what? When

THE NEW RULES OF MARKETING AND PR

My wife, Yukari, was checking out her Twitter stream one day and noticed that someone she follows tweeted about Hotel & Igloo Village Kakslauttanen.1Yukari clicked the link and learned that the resort is located in the Saariselkä fell area of Lapland in northern Finland. In winter, you can stay there in a private glass igloo, which means that from bed you can check out the stars (or, if you are lucky, the aurora borealis). She found this terribly exciting, so she tweeted a response from her Twitter ID, @yukariwatanabe: “I want to go there!”

We discussed the resort that evening over dinner. Why not go? Our daughter was off to university, so we had the time. The next day we booked the trip for several months later. Done deal.

Now, I know that a winter vacation above the Arctic Circle might seem like a punch line to a bad joke. Heck, the sun didn’t even rise when we were there in mid-December (the “day” consists of just four hours of twilight at that time of year). But for us it seemed perfect, because we’ve traveled all over the world and are always looking for unusual adventures.

How did we know that we wanted to go? By the resort’s website, of course. The site lists all sorts of winter activities for guests. When I saw “Husky Sledding Safari,” I was ready to pack my bags (bucket list…). But Yukari wanted to do a little more checking, so she Googled the resort, looked at the reviews on TripAdvisor, and also read about it in a New York Timesarticle.

Everybody I know has a story like this. Somebody makes a comment via a social network site. It leads someone else to a website where the content educates and informs. And that person ends up becoming a customer of a company that he or she had never heard of moments before. We’re living in a new world of marketing and PR.

If you are the seller in this transaction, it all comes down to content: What are you creating, compared to what are others saying about you?

Practical Theology and Empirical Research Essay –Due by 11.59pm EST on Thursday April 11th .

this essay of 4000 words students have to address the following two-part question: ‘What are the opportunities and challenges for practical theologians using empirical research methods derived from the social sciences? How might your experience of the Holy Spirit in the ministry of the Church inform your answer’? I am expecting a discussion of the field, a critical evaluation of sources and independent judgment on the framing an answer.

Please look at the attached document for detailed instructions on this assignment.

In this essay of 4000 words I am asking students to address the following two-part question:

‘What are the opportunities and challenges for practical theologians using empirical research methods derived from the social sciences? How might your experience of the Holy Spirit in the ministry of the Church inform your answer?’

The essay has two parts:

The first section of the essay discusses empirical research methods. Define them. Give examples of them. Then relate it to the key component of the first part. But it is framed in the context of practical theology. So look at these methods through the disciplinary eyes of a practical theologian. What is practical theology and how might a practical theologian use empirical research methods. Given this disciplinary context and approach, there are opportunities and challenges.

The opportunities – an opportunity is a possibility of something. It is like a door that is opened and you have to walk through it to find out what is on the inside. So, what kinds of things does the use of empirical research methods give you that you could not have without them? Think in terms of people and their situations.

The challenges – a challenge is a difficulty or a problem that you have to overcome in order to succeed. So, what kinds of issues are presented with the use of empirical research methods? How will you overcome these challenges?

The second part of the question asks about your experience of the Holy Spirit in the work of ministry in the Church. How does this experience influence (1) what you investigate; (2) how you investigate it; and (3) what resources you use to interpret what you investigate?

I am expecting:

(1) a discussion of the field, that is the field of practical theology and the use of empirical research methods within in.

(2) a critical evaluation of sources – what are the strengths and weaknesses of some of the positions you discuss?

(3) and independent judgment on the framing of an approach, given your own experience of the Holy Spirit in ministry and the Church.

About the number and kind of sources for the essay let me clarify my expectations for you.

1. This is a major essay and so I expect a range of sources as well as detailed and critical engagement with the central or key sources used.

2. I expect around 10-12 sources to be cited, showing breadth and depth. Some sources will be central to your argument and some will be more supportive to it. This is normal in academic writing.

3. There is a range of material in Blackboard that you can use, as well as the textbooks, but you will need to identify a number of “extra” sources as well. I have identified nine texts in the practical theology and empirical research recommended section of the syllabus. You don’t have to use all of these, but they are examples of the kinds of texts that might be useful to you.

4. Sources from the “specific empirical approaches” section might also be used depending on which kinds of example you are thinking about, e.g. interviews or focus groups.

5. A number of sources can be found in academic journals and I would encourage you to conduct a literature survey in the journals to identify two or three that can illustrate the kinds of approach that you are considering. So, these would be “outside” sources, i.e. not already identified by me.

I hope these points are helpful to you. I am trying to walk a line between supporting your work and not telling you what to write because at doctoral level I am expecting a fair amount of independence. There is no right or wrong way to write this essay, just better or worse ways of doing it. I hope this makes sense to you. If you have any specific questions, then please do send me an email directly.
