Discussion 2: Shared Practice: The Goal, Part 2

Through the lens of the business novel The Goal , you have been following many characters, complex business issues, and various management methodologies proposed for correcting problems. In choosing to write a novel, the authors are able to explore abstract concepts in an informative and accessible format. In effect, they are comparing and contrasting strategies in a realistic setting, rather than presenting their argument in an article.

This week, the Shared Practice is a continuation from Week 5, in which you used critical thinking skills to analyze and evaluate the concepts and decisions concepts presented in The Goal . This Shared Practice will focus on Part 2 of the readings in The Goal.

To prepare for this Shared Practice, select one of the following options, based on the two course level outcomes below, which you will use to frame and analyze this week’s reading assignment in The Goal:

• Create a plan for ongoing improvement and increased capability based on an evaluation of an organization’s systemic constraints.

OR

• Analyze a complex value creation system using management concepts.

Then, using Part 2 of your The Goal readings, research and select three short passages that contain one or two essential concepts pertaining to management that you found to be compelling. Analyze each using the Course Outcome you selected as a framework. Note: A theme this week you can focus on is to explain why the techniques that the team are implementing working, and how “breaking the rules” in this case makes sense from a systems performance perspective).

For this Shared Practice, write a 3- to 4-paragraph essay. Identify the Course Outcome you selected and the passages from Part 2 of The Goal. Explain why each passage you chose is relevant and important in effective business management. Justify your response, and include citations for each passage. As you move on to next week, reflect on this statement, “If I had only known this, back when…”

Post your Shared Practice by Day 5.

Assignment 2: Nanotechnology Applications

Nanotechnology (also called nanotech) is a branch of materials science that deals with manipulating matter on the atomic scale. It is so called because this field deals with engineering on the scale of a billionth of a meter, also known as a nanometer. Nanotechnology seeks to solve a wide range of problems from the construction of atomic scale machines to changing material properties at the atomic level.

Use the Internet, Argosy University library resources, and your textbook to research the field of nanotechnology.

Write a paper discussing some of the basic scientific and technical concepts of nanotechnology. Do the following in your paper:

• Discuss current or future applications of nanotechnology in fields such as medicine, engineering, space exploration, fuel cell development, air and water purification, and agriculture.
• Provide at least three examples of real-world applications in use or in development with reliable references.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc.

By Wednesday, August 21, 2013, deliver your assignment to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox for Turnitin testing and grading.

Subjective

Amelia, a 25-year-old Caucasian female, presents to the primary care clinic with the chief complain of abdominal bloating and diarrhea, worsening over the past 2–3 months.

She goes to her gynecologist annually and considers this here routing health maintenance; her last visit was 6 months ago with no significant findings. She has a self-described long history of non-specific gastrointestinal malaise. She bloats, feels nauseous, and has inconsistent voiding patterns with a tendency to have loose stools. Over the past 2 months, however, more than 60% of her stools have been loose, which is, double the usual. She is voiding about 2 times a day, which feels frequent to her, although her elimination patter has never been consistent. Generalized abdominal bloating has been increasing in frequency and intensity, now occurring 4–5 times per week, generally 1 hour after eating. There is associated generalized cramping and pain that she rates a 6/10, though she has not pain right now. She has vomited 3 times without any resolution of symptoms. The patient denies making herself vomit. She reports that she had to leave work numerous times because of the pain and discomfort. Lying down and applying heat makes her symptoms more tolerable; but this is an unsustainable management technique; and she is worried and frustrated. She has not done any recent traveling.

Family history: Mother and father are alive and well, both with hypertension. Brother, 20, is alive and well with type 1 DM, which he manages well.

She loves her job and sleeps well-though admittedly not enough- usually 6 or 7 hours per night. She goes to the gym for an hour 3–4 times per week, has an active social life, is applying for graduate school, and is generally pleased with her life. If she could change anything, “I would add a couple of hours to the day so I could slow down a little and still get things done. I am pretty type A, which is why this stomach thing is bothering me so much.” She drinks 2-3 cups of coffee a day; skips breakfast; eats a bagel, yogurt, and fruit for lunch; usually goes out or eats “healthy” takeout dinner. She drinks socially about 1 time per week. Denies any tobacco or other drug use.

Medications: Yaz, daily (birth control) multivitamin daily; OTC Claritin, 1 tab PRN for allergy symptoms; OTC Mucinex, PRN for cold symptoms
