The question I need to answer is – Explain why you chose these competitive strategies and estimate how they might affect sustainability of long-term organizational performance.

Please answer this question in no more than 250 words

Please include reference and in text citations. Please use the competitive advantages below for each company I am working with as a reference to answering this question.

Apple, Inc. has a competitive advantage/strategy on brand with customer loyalty, and technological innovation – their knack for simplicity. Apple Inc. uses Differentiation Strategy.

I have the Measurement Guideline to verify Strategic Effectiveness if that helps for each Apple and Starbucks. For Riordan you would have to tell me where to look for that as I have their income statements and such. This may be a good article to use –

or http://www.apple.com/environment/reports/

Starbucks has a competitive advantage/strategy of delivering quality products and excellent customer interaction while remaining green and sustainable enables Starbucks to stay a step ahead of the others. Starbucks offers a mobile app that allows customers to order and pay conveniently from the app.

Riordan has a competitive advantage/strategy of them being a leader in the industry. Riordan has several locations, which can be used to implement production capabilities, which then ultimately lower costs. Riordan identifies opportunities through holding an organization comprehension market study so they can gain knowledge and establish directional strategies.

I have a bunch of PDF’s on this company (Riordan) if you need them please just ask and I can send to you on what you need.

social determinants of health

/0 Comments/in /by

Health disparities and the social determinants of health can be influenced by many factors, some obvious and some you may never have considered until now. What does health equity mean to you? What can be done to improve the health of vulnerable populations in your community, nationally, and even globally?

To prepare for this Application Assignment, review your Learning Resources and the Discussion posts from your classmates this week. Think about your community, and particularly the vulnerable populations and their health risks, as you answer the questions in this week’s application. Find at least two additional resources to add information to your application. One resource should be from a recent (last 5 years) peer-reviewed journal (from the Walden University Library). For suggestions to help with your search, visit the Library http://library.waldenu.edu/908.htm. The other additional resource should be from an online source with “.edu”, “.org”, or “.gov” in the web address to ensure you are accessing a reliable resource.

To complete this Application Assignment, write a 2- to 3-page paper that discusses how health equity and the social determinants of health, as described in this week’s Learning Resources, relate to a racial, ethnic, or geographic group of your choice. In your paper, answer the following questions:

What does health equity mean to you? What is the impact of health equity from the perspective of a health care professional?
What racial, ethnic, or geographic population are you basing this application on? What types of issues related to health equity are reported in the population you selected for this application?
How does your definition of health equity and diversity relate to Walden’s mission of social justice?

Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources, as required.

Assignment: Conflict Analysis

Conflict Analysis Part 1: Observe an instance that happened last week, that you are not personally involved with where conflict is present (you will need to be a bit of a covert operator to accomplish this). Answer the following:

In several detailed paragraphs, describe the conflict scene.

1a.Who was involved in the conflict? What was the relationship between the participants prior to the conflict? Did it appear as if the relationship between the participants had any impact on how either person responded to the conflict?

1b.When and where did it take place? Was it formal or informal? Planned or unplanned? What impact did the location and time have on the outcome?

1c.What transpired? (Be specific.)

Many times when we face conflict, there is a surface-level problem and an underlying problem. The surface-level problem acts only as a symptom of the real problem. Consider both.

1d.What was the surface problem?

1e.What was the underlying problem, or the real problem? If this is unclear, what might you speculate the real problem to be?

There are many conflict management strategies that can be employed when dealing with conflict. Consider which were present in this conflict.

1f.Which conflict management strategies were employed by each of the participants? Did the conflict management strategies change during the course of the conversation? How do you know? 

1g.What was the outcome? Was there a winner? A loser? Did there appear to be an impact on the relationship? If so, what was that impact?

1h.Looking back, describe at least two variables that could be changed in this scene to alter the outcome.

Conflict Analysis Part 2:Much of the learning in this course requires you to draw conclusions about your experiences and observations based on the concepts we have read about and discussed. Take this into consideration:

2a., 2b. List two specific things you learned about conflict as a result of this exercise. Reference material from the text, discussions, lecture, terminal course objectives, and so forth. Answers that demonstrate application of the course material and effective critical thinking will earn the greatest number of points.

Your submission should be approximately one page in length: one paragraph per item for 1a.–1h., and 2a. and 2b.

Chose a topic you can work with, then i will post a different question for you to work on the topic you chose. But my prof has to approve it first. Then the second part is the main question.
