...Heart Surgery at Cabarrus Memorial Hospital Situation It was a clear, crisp October morning in Concord, North Carolina. The board of trustees of Cabarrus Memorial Hospital gathered in the windowless, walnut paneled boardroom for its monthly meet- ing (see Exhibit 19/1 for board members). Board chairman George Batte opened the meeting saying, “Because we do not have an open heart surgery program, patients needing open heart surgery or coronary angioplasty have to be transferred to another hospi- tal, causing inconvenience to the patient’s families and risks from delayed treatment. There are several questions we have to answer in addressing this issue. Should we add open heart surgery to the mix of cardiac services we offer? Does the hospital’s existing service area provide adequate patient volumes to support the program? What This case was written by Fred H. Campbell, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Darise D. Caldwell, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Northeast Medical Center. It is intended as a basis for classroom discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of an administrative situation.

...When American schoolchildren are educated about Europe between the years 1936 through 1975, they are taught about the aftereffects of World War I and about World War II. Europe, in high school history classes, ceases to exist after 1945 and the close of World War II unless, of course, one is learning about the Cold War and the Berlin Wall may be mentioned. They do not learn, however, that World War II era Spain—because Spain was neither an ally or a foe during the war—went through enormous conflict of its own. The three-year Spanish Civil War and the fascist dictatorship that followed are largely kept out of the American history books. Yet, the world is privy to much of its legacy through literature, art, film, and personal memory. Spain certainly remembers three hellish years of war and thirty six years of repression under Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, but how is General Franco remembered by the rest of the world? What legacy did he leave internationally? 2 It is a confused and varied one: to those closest to him he was a husband, father, and statesman; to Hitler, he was an obstacle on the road to world domination; to the Jews who fled from Hitler he was a hero; but to the many Spanish minorities and to his opponents in the Spanish Civil War he was a monster. 3 The answers to the questions posed are addressed in a variety of sources. One of these sources is the book Hitler Stopped by Franco, by Jane and Burt Boyar, who write a relatively straightforward book that explores many...

...HBR CASE STUDY How to Change the World Alan Wilson has several career options but only one ambition – to make a difference. by Howard H. Stevenson Daniel Vasconcellos LAN WILSON PEERED past his Atomics at the skiers whizzing by 20 feet below the chairlift. The sky had darkened, and a light, wind-whipped snow was falling, but the changing conditions certainly hadn’t deterred the diehards. He watched a young woman hurtle down the steep slope, poles and powder flying. He carefully adjusted his goggles. He hadn’t said much to his best friend, Karl, during their 10-minute ride together. Alan was feeling reflective. What was he going to do with his life now that some exciting new possibilities had opened up? People think it’s miserable to have no options, he thought, but in a way, it’s more stressful to have too many. Three-quarters of the way up the mountain, the strengthening wind gently rocked the chair. Karl pulled out the trail map and pointed a gloved finger at one of the black-diamond runs. “The A HBR’s cases, which are fictional, present common managerial dilemmas and offer concrete solutions from experts. hbr.org | January 2008 | Harvard Business Review 29 LEADERSHIP AND STRATEGY | HBR CASE STUDY | How to Change the World Couloir Noir is the one on the right,” he said. “What do you think?” Alan and Karl shared a passion for moguls.

...TOURISM MANAGEMENT Historical Tourism: A study in Malacca, Malaysia’s Historical City Due Date: 12/12/2011 Executive summary Historical tourism is an important component of the Malaysian economy as well as a significant source of its foreign exchange revenues. Few years ago, historical tourism does not seem like an important asset toward the development of tourism industry but yet, we cannot deny that historical tourism is a contributing part to the industry and also toward the economy now. Historical sites can be used to attract tourist and to increase number of visitors. It is a potential asset to improve Malaysia’s tourism development. Strategies that can be implemented by Tourism Promotion Division of Malacca for future such as increase historic preservation awareness towards some key persons and also citizens. They can help to maintain and expand the state-wide inventory of historic properties and develop improved access and comprehension of historic property’s inventory information and also to encourage respectful utilization of historic and cultural resources as a mean to achieve compatibility with sustainable tourism and economic revitalization. In addition, governments determine to promote cooperation and understanding between participants in the historic preservation review process. It gives a view of past activities that carry out by our ancestors. It connects us with the country. Historical places of a country represent a nation’s identity where it...

...1. LETTER TO ADDITIONAL SECRETARY, HOME DEPARTMENT, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA DETENTION C AMP, January 27, 1944 ADDITIONAL S ECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA (HOME DEPARTMENT) NEW DELHI SIR, Some days ago Shri Kasturba Gandhi told the Inspector-General of prisons and Col. Shah that Dr. Dinshaw Mehta of Poona be invited to assist in her treatment. Nothing seems to have come out of her request. She has become insistent now and asked me if I had written to the Government in the matter. I, therefore, ask for immediate permission to bring in Dr. Mehta. She has also told me and my son that she would like to have some Ayurvedic physician to see her. 1 I suggest that the I.G.P. be authorized to permit such assistance when requested. 2. I have no reply as yet to my request2 that Shri Kanu Gandhi, who is being permitted to visit the patient every alternate day, be allowed to remain in the camp as a whole-time nurse. The patient shows no signs of recovery and night-nursing is becoming more and more exacting. Kanu Gandhi is an ideal nurse, having nursed the patient before. And what is more, he can soothe her by giving her instrumental music and by singing bhajans. I request early relief to relieve the existing pressure. The matter may be treated as very urgent. 3. The Superintendent of the camp informs me that when visitors come, one nurse only can be present. Hitherto more than one nurse has attended when necessary. The Superintendent used his discretion as to the necessity. But when...

...Physician Groups: A Changing Landscape Final Report Team Four: Fearless Leaders Leading Healthcare Organizations May 10, 2015 Rachel Gutman Josh Freeman Brad Mountcastle Alicia Spitznagel I. Executive Summary Physician care is the cornerstone of patient health and could possibly be the gateway to comprehensive wellness on a national scale. Research demonstrates that a monumental shift is underway in America’s physician industry as more and more doctors are “voting with their feet” and curtailing their practices by joining larger institutions, retiring early or joining concierge medicine (Rabin, 2014). Studies show that physicians are frustrated with our current ‘value by number’ system; they argue that they are overworked due to discounted insurance payments and increasing oversight. Our research foretells two alarming trends within the US physician landscape. The first concern is that there will be a shortage in primary-care physicians as early as the year 2020 and secondly, most medical practices will be owned by a hospital or affiliated with a large network within the next ten years (Kirchoff, 2013). The former concern places population health at risk and could reduce access to care while the latter has the potential to increase overall costs and reduce competition and innovation in the health care industry. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) marks a milestone in our nation’s history; it requires every U.S. citizen to obtain medical insurance or pay...

Marathe is a vice President in a construction equipment company in the city of Mumbai. One day, his subordinate Bhonsle requested that Kale, a project manager, be transferred to the Chennai office from the Mumbai office. In Chennai, Kale would work alone as a researcher. Bhonsle gave the following reasons for his request: “Kale is known to frequently fight with his colleagues. Kale is conscientious and dedicated only when working alone. He is friendly with seniors, but refuses to work with colleagues, in a team. He cannot accept criticism and feels hostile and rejected. He is over-bearing and is generally a bad influence on the team." Marathe called upon Gore, another project manager, and sought further information on Kale. Gore recalled that colleague, Lakhote (who was also Kale's former boss) had made a few remarks on his appraisal...

SOCIOLOGICAL AFFECTS Daniel 36 INTRODUCTION Technology is applying science to improve on an existing task to make it easier. Technology can be used for all types of things, from science applications to mechanical engineering. Changing the way something is done often improves it. This is the heart of technology. Technology has evolved into nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is a “technology executed on the scale of less than 100 nanometers, the goal of which is to control individual atoms and molecules, especially to computer chips and other microscopic devices.” Nanotechnology may one day improve the quality of life, thereby extending the life span of humans, by using “small autonomous robot, or nanobot, that can be sent into the human body to repair cells and cure cancers.” (nanotechnology). It is the continued advancement in nanotechnology that has been used to downsize the combative drones that we associate with the war, to the small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAV), and into the hands of hobbyist all over the world. The technology for radio-controlled aircraft has been around for decades with guidelines set forth from the FAA that restricted the use of the radio-controlled aircrafts to specified areas. Where there were once groups of radio-controlled flyers is now groups of drone users....
