For this assignment, you will need to choose a company that you have familiarity with or knowledge of their corporate structure and strategies. You may choose to use a current or former employer as the basis for this assignment.

Directions:

1. Develop a strategic plan for your chosen company based on their corporate mission and objectives.  Follow the six step plan/process for strategic planning as outlined in the textbook in the chapter titled, “Planning and Strategic Management.” Take each step and describe how you will apply it to your chosen organization’s situation.

 

1. Situational analysis
2. Alternative goals and plans 
3. Goal and plan evaluation
4. Goal and plan selection
5. Implementation
6. Monitor and control

 

1. Synthesize these steps and explain how your plan will help the organization achieve its goals.

 

1. Describe how the plan benefits the organization in its overall strategic planning process.

 

1. Create at least one graphical chart which visually illustrates your strategic plan.

Your plan should be in the form of a professional 6-8 page paper.  Provide a title page, introduction summarizing the details of the organization and the scenario, each of the 4 required elements above, a conclusion and reference page. Use at least three outside resources in preparing your plan, one of which should be your text book.

You are the director for an integrated delivery system (IDS) materials-management department. Use the library, course materials, and Web resources to research 1 of the following expansions in your organization:

• Expansion of a labor and delivery wing
• Creation of warfarin infusion center (heart patient treatment)

Then, create a PowerPoint presentation (5–7 slides with speaker notes) for the IDS’s procurement committee. Make sure to respond to the following issues about the supply and demand for this health care solution in your organization:

• Provide an overview of the health care solution.
• What is the demand for this technology in your community?
• Include a supply and demand graph to demonstrate your findings.
• Make sure you use proper formatting for your presentation.
• Include 75–150 words of speaker notes.

EXPERIMENT: Hooke’s Law

 

DATA TABLE 1:  Spring 1

 

  NOTE: Accumulated elongation is the total distance from the reference point, not the sum of increments. 

 

DATA TABLE 2:  Spring 2

 

  NOTE: Accumulated elongation is the total distance from the reference point, not the sum of increments. 

 

 

DATA TABLE 3:  Rubber band

 

  NOTE: Accumulated elongation is the total distance from the reference point, not the sum of increments. 

 

 

Questions:

 

A.    How does the relative stiffness of a spring relate to its spring constant?

 

B.     How does PE change relative to the stretch of the spring?

 

C.     Indicate on your graph for the rubber band where the linear behavior stops. What does this mean?

 

D.    Which is stronger in the region where Hooke’s law is obeyed, the spring or the rubber band? Explain.

 

E.     Explain what happens to the “spring constant” of the rubber band for the non-linear part of your curve.
