Thought Paper 2

/in /by

Thought Paper 

There are three goals of the Thought Paper assignment enabled in two written parts (Part A and Part B). 

Goal One 

The first goal is to enable you to think over pressing issues in employee compensation and benefits to help you determine your position on the issue. A sample issue: Should companies abandon the use of compensation surveys? 

In your paper, you will take a position on the issue (e.g., I believe that companies should not abandon the use of compensation surveys because…), and provide a rationale for your position, calling on outside sources to help substantiate it. Your position stated before the word because is Part A of the written paper. 

Goal Two 

The second goal is to find your voice as an aspiring professional. Your opinion should be informed by an analysis of credible sources and experiences to earn respect in your profession, and your opinion and analysis is the information that follows the word because in Part A. This section is Part B of the written paper. 

Goal Three 

The third goal is to provide an opportunity for you to express information clearly and concisely in written form. This is a general goal. 

Your Role 

In preparing this assignment, assume the role of a compensation professional who is briefing HR colleagues on a timely employee compensation topic. In the example, you would provide a rationale for each point that you raise after the word because. 

Base your paper on two or three articles from HR-practitioner publications (e.g., HRMagazine, published by the Society for Human Resource Management), business periodicals (e.g., Forbes), major newspapers (e.g., New York Times, The Wall Street Journal), or other news outlets (e.g., cnn.com). Please cite your sources in the text using a consistent style and list each source as a reference on the last page of your assignment. There should be sufficient information to enable me to obtain the item (that is, author name, source such as a website, year if it is a book or journal, and the pages numbers if it is a book or journal). And formulate a rationale for your position based on your chosen sources and professional experience. 

Assignment Grading 

You will receive credit for this assignment (20 to 30 points based on the quality of your answer) if you satisfy Parts A and B. Stating your position (Part A) without providing any coherent rationale based on your thoughts and outside sources (Part B) earns you 3 points—10% of the total points. Stating your position (Part A) and providing a rationale that does not include your own thoughts or information from relevant sources to substantiate it (Part B) earns you 15 points—50% of the total points.  Please spell- and grammar check your work. Having more than two errors will lead to a reduction of 1 point per error (that is, 1 point for the 3rd error, 1 point for the 4th error, and so forth). 

Thought Paper 2 (Due November 10, 11:59 pm, Central Time) 

Your Topic for This Assignment 

U.S. chief executive officer compensation is excessive compared to nonexecutive employees. 

Your Task 

Indicate whether you believe that U.S. chief executive officer compensation is excessive compared to nonexecutive employees. This is Part A. 

Provide a rationale for your position. This is Part B. 

Please limit your write-up to 250 to 300 words (excluding references).

Budget Development

Overview

If your organization makes frequent business transactions, one of  the tasks you face as a manager is budget preparation. A budget is a  tool used for planning and controlling financial resources. It guides  your future plan of action in financial terms within a set period of  time. A budget does not have to be complex; however, it should support  the organization’s strategic plan. We will need resources to achieve our  goals and objectives.

For this assignment, you will focus on the operating budget. An  operating budget shows the company’s projected revenue and associated  expenses for an upcoming period—usually the next year. An operating  budget starts with revenue and then shows each expense type. This  includes variable costs—or the costs that vary with sales—such  as the cost of raw materials and production labor. The operating budget  includes fixed costs, such as the monthly rent on office space or the  monthly payment for a photocopier lease. The budget also includes  operating expenses, such as interest on business loans, and the noncash  expense of depreciation. These items enable the company to compute its  projected net income and net profit percentage.

Instructions

Imagine you are the health care administrator for a nonprofit  clinic, home health agency, or outpatient surgery center. Your first  task is to locate the strategic plan for that organization or determine  its strategic direction through the vision statement, mission or purpose  statement, and strategic priorities or goals. You will also need the  audited financial statements for the organization.

Using the information from your research, develop a one-year  operating budget for the chosen entity, which will include operating  revenues and expenses. Include a 1–2 page document to justify the  approach you use in constructing the operating budget with the strategic  plan or strategic direction.

  • Upload the strategic plan or strategic direction and audited financial statements as an attachment or include the Web link.
  • Complete your operating budget using Excel.
  • Support your work with at least three quality references, one  being your course textbook. These should be cited per the Strayer  Writing Standards. 

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For  assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing  Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your  professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Develop a budget for a department within a healthcare organization.
