Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link “Doing Discussion Questions Right,” the expanded grading rubric for the forum below, and any specific instructions for this topic.

Before the end of the unit, begin commenting on at least two of your classmates’ responses. You can ask technical questions or respond generally to the overall experience. Be objective, clear, and concise. Always use constructive language, even in criticism, to work toward the goal of positive progress. Submit your responses in the Discussion Area.

Organizational Strategy

The business plan of a healthcare organization describes the purpose of the healthcare organization and the structure to its organizational goals. The strategic plan is used as a road map on how the organization will accomplish its purpose and put ideas into action. The strategic plan also prioritizes the organization’s resources as a way to fulfill the business plan. One could summarize the business plan as the “what,” and the strategic plan as the “how.”

Tasks:

In a minimum of 200 words, post your responses to the following to the Discussion Area:

· List the similarities and differences between a healthcare organization’s business plan and a strategic plan? Be sure to include the purpose (the basis of the plan) of each plan and how they relate to one another. 

· Discuss why is it important for a healthcare organization to develop a strategic plan?

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Your initial posting should be addressed at 200 words as noted in the attached Adobe PDF. Be sure to cite your sources using APA format.

MHA5010 Week 5 Project

 

Instructions

This final project assignment is associated with the NCF (non-completion failure) grade. Failure to complete this assignment will result in the issuance of a grade of NCF if the course average would result in a failing grade in the course. Students should contact their Academic Counselor or Program Director if they have any questions regarding the NCF grade and its implications.

Review the following lecture: BARRIERS TO CHANGE

We live in a very complex and culturally diverse society. When we bring individuals together from diverse backgrounds in a work environment, conflict can arise when expectations are not realized or met. Rather than hoping that the conflict will go away, this paper will explore and identify the reasons for conflict and how to successfully address them in a team environment.

Tasks:

· Describe a conflict within an organization or team that you are familiar with. Identify and describe the source(s) and level of the conflict, and support with evidence. 

· Analyze how an individual’s conflict management style influences the outcome of a conflict situation. 

· Apply various strategies for managing and resolving interpersonal conflict.

· Describe a minimum of three conflict outcomes that could reasonably occur because of the conflict resolution. Support your reasoning for each possible outcome.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings as well as the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.
