...Designing a Motivating Work Environment for RN’s It is not a secret that health-care jobs are among the fastest growing and most needed in the nation. Amongst many health-care professions, nursing seems to be the sector of biggest need. We constantly need more nurses, and with increased quantity, we need superior management. With this field being so big and constantly growing it is easy for the nurse staff to be overlooked and be burned out quickly. Because of the high stress nature of staff nursing, motivation, support, and proactive work improvement policies are very important to retain qualified nurses. Hence, caring and motivating staff is a big part of successful leadership in an industry. Motivating nurses is one of the biggest challenges of nursing management that can be met by introducing interactive and proactive processes and avoiding reactive responses. Before, we start to discuss that; we will describe what motivation is in essence and what are need-based theories of motivation, which may be helpful for RN managers to develop appropriate motivating strategies. Thus, what exactly is Motive and Motivation? By definition, a motive is an impulse that causes a person to act. Whereas, Motivation is an internal process that makes a person move toward a goal. Motivation, just like intelligence, cannot be directly observed. Alternatively, motivation can only be reasoned by noting a person’s behavior. Many researchers have developed theories such as Maslow’s hierarchy...

...Using Perceptual Maps in Marketing Using Perceptual Maps in Marketing Using Perceptual Maps is a great way of interpreting what type of impression the buyer has of the product brand. The buyer’s information from surveys are collected as data and entered into the perceptual map. This information is used to get a better idea of how your product characteristics rate in comparison to those of the competition and to determine your products location in the market. Marketing is not just selling and advertising-it is the interaction of key players in an economic system. Marketing is crucial for free markets, because the survival of companies depends on it. To gain an edge, a company has to be different in its marketing approach to gain better positioning than its competitors. A perceptual map can have several parameters, which may overlap in their descriptions. These overlapping parameters are the artificial attributes of a product, and several of them often define a product’s fundamental parameters. An important, fundamental parameter of a perceptual map is Lifestyle Image, which is highlighted by the two-wheeler industry. For more than a hundred years, motorcycles have been promoted as lifestyle products having attributes such as masculinity, mobility, and freedom. From the first motor-driven bicycle in 1901, which cost a princely $200, the heavyweight power cruisers of today, costing more than $25,000, motorcycles have been riding high on image. Lifestyle Image has contributed...

...Question1: Did Eli Lilly pursue the right strategy to enter the Indian market? In 1993 Eli Lilly, one of the leading pharmaceutical firms in the USA, started a joint venture in India with the leading Indian company Ranbaxy. The decision was dictated by the conditions of the US market and opportunities of the Indian market. Costlier manufacturing practices due to strict governmental control, soaring prices in 1990s, invasion of cheap generics to the USA market as opposed to low costs in India and new regulations that opened Indian market to foreign investments (up to 51%) created tempting conditions to enter one of the emerging huge markets of the world. Alliance with Ranbaxy was a smart strategy for Eli Lilly to establish its presence in India. Ranbaxy was the second largest manufacturing company of bulk drugs and generics with domestic market share of 15% in India with established distribution network and the second largest exporter to different countries, including Russia (which Eli Lilly was attempting to reach), with capital cost 50-75% lower than those of comparable US plant and R&D expenses of 2-5% of sales. Besides, Ranbaxy developed its own process for Eli Lilly's patented drug Cefaclor. Since Eli Lilly's product patent for Cefaclor expired in 1992 and the firm was expecting to protect its monopoly with process patents which were due to expire only in 1994, this gave great scope for a mutually advantageous agreement between the two companies. There was also possibility...

...------------------------------------------------- Life Styles Survey Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Personal Thinking Styles 3. Impact on Management Style 4. Genesis of Personal Styles 5. Conclusion My “Life Styles Circumplex” profile is surprising to me on many items. My primary thinking style is dependent and my backup is approval. I would guess my styles would have included perfectionist, humanistic or achievement- oriented style as a primary or back-up. I am an “over thinker” and may have did this on the survey as well, causing some of the results to be a little off. We will further discuss this as we begin to review my primary thinking style. Let’s begin by looking at my primary thinking style dependent. The circumplex shows a dependent style as someone who feels their efforts do not count, a person that has very little control over their lives, difficulty making decisions and feeling of helplessness. I do not agree with this as my primary thinking style because as VP of Business Operations and Finance for our company I make many decisions each day that affect the company and the lives of each of our employees. We are a smaller private company with fifty-five employees so the decisions that myself and the other members of the management team make are critical to the success and the livelihood of our employees. I do not take our employees or their family’s financial stability lightly with the day to day decisions I am required to...

...Project N311 Dr.Peggy Shipley Shannon McKnight 6/14/2014 2. Introduction According to the Institute of Medicine there are more than a million injuries and almost 100,000 deaths associated with medication administration errors every year in the healthcare profession. Administration of medication is a large part of every day nursing care. As the patient’s primary advocates, it is the nurse’s responsibility to make certain these medication errors do not occur and to uphold the patient’s safety. Hebda & Czar (2013) state, “The desire to reduce or eliminate medication errors focuses attention on computerized physician order entry (CPOE), Bar Code Medication Administration (BCMA), and e-prescribing”. With the growing amount of medication errors, many institutions are introducing the Bar Code Medication Administration System. This is a system that will aid in assuring the right patient is getting the right medication and reduce the risk for medication errors. Although BCMA will not be a remedy for medication errors, it can provide a safeguard that is not possible with manual method. The implementation of the Bar Code Medication Administration system has been highly proven reduce the number of medication errors, improve patient safety, and increase the nurse’s job satisfaction. 3. Barrier to the Implementation Understanding the barriers to change is one of the first important...

...Students did not look in their direction, therefore they felt alienated from the school’s mainstream. I began the project to restore the staff’s self-respect; help them live respectable lives in last year’s April vacations. With the help of a few friends, I initiated the project to teach the support-staff every Saturday. We formulated the course content and a time-table and started the project with twenty student volunteers; teaching for three hours, every week. Everyone was enthusiastic at the start and the initiative carried on well for a few months. However, the project started losing momentum, the staff and volunteers’ interest began waning, attendance became irregular, as everyone was bored and preferred to do other things on Saturdays. I started feeling that I was the only one interested in the project and was failing to convert my interest into the group’s purpose. Retaining the support staff’s attention was becoming difficult, people were coming late and once, a few volunteers even preferred to go to the school football field, instead of coming to teach. I was getting concerned and started discussions on how to revive the project. Then I came up with an idea, to merge two...

...Lifestyles Inventory Assessment Strengths, Weaknesses, & Goal Improvements Arik Seiler arikwynn@yahoo.com GM 591: Leadership and Organizational Behavior Professor Sharolyn Hergott November 4, 2011 After an honest and conscious examination of the self, the Life Styles Inventory has probed my responses to several statements, thereby creating an analytical tool of my personal human behavior and orientations. With these results I am able to assess my strengths and weaknesses, which will allow me to fabricate constructive methods to develop myself into a more refined individual. According to the results, my “primary” thinking style is “Dependent,” depicting a score of 75 and indicating that this style is most representative of me. My “backup” thinking style is “Competitive” with a score of 65. I would have to immediately agree to both results as I am extremely competitive, to the point where at times it is seen as unattractive and exhausting to others. In my current situation, I would have to agree that dependency is up there, however generally I feel that I am highly independent. Being “Competitive” is a trait that has been engrained in me since I was a young child, as it is factored into how I was raised and the culture I was born into – that being a German-style upbringing. Combining this form of culture, being a competitive athlete since the age of five, and with a strict father who expected nothing...
