The different Market structures In this section the report will look at the different market structures and show examples of the types of companies, which trade within them. Also the report will look at the advantages and disadvantages to each of the market structures. Perfect competition This market structure has a vast amount of companies with no barriers to entry new companies can join easily. Product pricing rarely changes, and is usually low, as no one company has the resources to develop the product or business image. E.g. advertising. The downside to this type of market is that there is little reason for competition, as the price will not have a significant difference when consumers go to a different company. Another is that there is no chance of the market being able to innovate as all business in the sector are small and cannot afford a research and development. Oligopoly Market An oligopoly market has a small number of firms, which are all able to make supernormal profits. The advantages are that these companies have the...

...Call Center Planning Process Carrie "Shellie" Cobbs Health Care Management HCS 325 Karissa Stewart May 05, 2013 Call Center Planning Process The process in place for answering phone calls at Synergy Orthopedics needs additional resources to allow better customer service. The call volume has doubled in the year since the Physicians have started taking more ER, emergency room, call. The hold time for patients calling to schedule appointments has also increased that is a direct reflection on the office. To promote better customer service I am proposing the idea of rotating the current staff through a schedule of solely answering the incoming phone calls. With the $20,000 allocated to Synergy Orthopedics, I propose that the empty office become equipped with a desk, chair, computer, and phone to create a single person call center. To complete this change, the staff will have to rely more on teamwork to allow the office to continue to run efficiently. Health care teams Teamwork is not a new process in health care. Since the beginning of organized health care individual health care providers have had assistance from other providers. The teamwork model is changing in modern health care to include the staff involved in the implementation of the decisions of the team. Diverse and synergistic teams are established to create procedures, accomplish goals, and brainstorm possible outcomes for problems presented...

...Effective Communication Health care organizations require multiple communications on a daily basis with inside and outside resources as well as the communities they serve. Effective communication is encouraged for better understanding and is essential for positive patient outcomes and the success of the health care organization. If communication is absent, errors occur which jeopardize the health care organization’s reputation as well as patient outcomes. Communication is an essential function of health care organizations, as it is the way information is shared across service lines and departments. Also, the organization’s structure plays into whether or not effective communication is possible. Effective communication is developed and enhanced through an organizational model or structure that the health care organization follows. According to Hearst Newspapers, LLC (2016), "an organizational structure defines an organization through its framework, including lines of authority, communications, duties and resource allocations... it is driven by the organization’s goals and serves as the context in which processes operate and business is done” (What Is an Organizational Model?). Effective communication as defined by the organization’s organizational structure ensures that barriers are overcome and clear communication is shared throughout the health care organization.
