Instructions/Descriptions
Read the articles Five Questions That Make Strategy Real and Eight Maxims of Strategy [PDF]. From the two articles, specify the main differences between strategy and tactics. Provide support for your response.
Initial Postings: Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook must be the primary source utilized and listed in your reference section (and properly cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion. This means that they support the material from the textbook. Do not use other sources to substitute for or replace the textbook.
Provide a graduate-level response to the question or questions provided within the Discussion Forum. Kloppenborg textbook must substantively support every answer.
Your post must be substantive and demonstrate insight gained from the course material. Postings must be in the student’s own words – do not provide quotes!
Your initial post should be at least 500+ words and in APA format (written , using proper paragraph structure, sources cited within the body of the main text and Times New Roman with font size 12). FYI – Meeting the minimum for length does not meet the standard for superior scores.
Submitting the Initial Posting: Your initial post should be completed by Thursday, 11:59 p.m. EST.
Response to Other Student Postings: Respond substantively (at least 100 words) to the post of at least two peers, by Friday, 11:59 p.m. EST. A peer response such as “I agree with her,” or “I liked what he said about that” or similar comments are not considered substantive and will not be counted for course credit. Also, just repeating information from the course material or your own initial post does not satisfy these criteria.
Continue the discussion through Sunday, 11:59 p.m. EST by highlighting differences between your postings and your colleagues’ postings. Provide additional insights or alternative perspectives. This means an on-going conversation in addition to the two required responses above.
Evaluation of posts and responses: Your initial posts and peer responses will be evaluated on the basis of the kind of critical thinking and engagement displayed. The grading rubric evaluates the content based on four areas: Content Knowledge & Structure, Critical Thinking, Presentation & Writing Mechanics, and Response to Other Students.

Overview
You work as a middle manager for one of the top U.S. producers of luxury and mass-market automobiles and trucks. The chief technology officer (CTO) of the company from the course scenario has been researching new technology developments that the company could integrate into its vehicles to enhance their usefulness and access to sensor data.
Such data is acquired by the many digital sensors that have been integrated into vehicle subsystems over the past 20–30 years. The technology trend of particular interest to the CTO is the internet of things (IoT), the interconnection of embedded devices such as sensors and computers over the internet to share data. For automobiles, the trend points to creating connected cars.
Senior management has decided to explore IoT for the company’s trucks and cars. Your task is to create an internal memo explaining that the company should integrate IoT into its product line using the RWW (real, win, worth it) screening tool from the Module One resources and the information from the CTO Brief, Comparative Growth Data, Comparative Operating Statistics, and Comparative Product Plans documents. Consider the following:
Discuss the feasibility of the product line (refer to RWW screening tool question number one: Is it real?).
Is there a need or desire for the product?
Is the size of the potential market adequate?
Can the product actually be made?
Will the final product satisfy the market?
Discuss the ability of the company to win market share (refer to RWW screening tool question number two: Can we win?).
Will your company’s products have a competitive advantage?
How will your competitors respond?
Can your company understand the market properly?
Discuss the potential benefits to the company of producing this product (refer to RWW screening tool question number three: Is it worth doing?).
Will the product be profitable at an acceptable risk?
Does launching the product make strategic sense?
Does the product fit your company’s overall growth strategy?
Will your company’s senior management support this project?
Based on the answers to the questions above, explain the reasons why IoT and connected cars are strategically important to the company.
Consider the evolving customer needs and desires; how would they impact the company’s product plan?
What do you think competitors will do (if anything) in response to changes in your company’s development plan?
This memo should be a Word document of 1–2 pages in length using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Any references should be cited in APA format. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

Health care is expanding and changing as the patients themselves. Health care is delivered in various settings for a variety of reasons. Nursing professionals have an essential role in ensuring patient safety. The healthcare technology trend observed in my organization is Voalte phones. The Voalte nurse phones allow nurses to receive secured messages, respond to the patient call lights; make and receive direct calls, and receive critical alarms regarding emergencies.
These efficient workflows are essential for reducing communication failure between nurses and patients and quality improvement (Hansen et al., 2018). According to the National Patient Safety Foundation, one of the top patient safety issues is falls (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2017).
Often, patients fall in the room after attempting to get up independently. The failure of getting help is attributed to the nursing call bell. 4 out of 5 times, patients’ calls never get to the nurse or the nursing assistant, and patients get frustrated after a long wait time, thus get up independently. The nurse Voalte phones send patients’ calls directly to the appropriate caregivers to respond faster.
There are challenges associated with the use of Voalte technology. The first challenge is the connectivity issues like hanging network, interrupted calls, and dropping calls. The second and the most crucial challenge, in my opinion, is the alert fatigue caused by the disproportionate number of warnings received while providing care to patients.
This can lead to nurses paying less attention or ignoring important alerts, limiting the effectiveness of the systems. Prioritization and safety here are crucial. A nurse administering a high alert medication like chemo or pulling narcotics for another patient from the pyxis cannot be interrupted for graham crackers and juice. All patients are essential, but nurses must prioritize. This is very challenging for many novice nurses because management pushes nurses to attend to every need of their patients.
After all, patient satisfaction means everything. I have observed many nurses getting burned out at work. They cannot deliver care true to their nursing values because they are constantly getting calls on their phones while they are with other patients. Some nurses have mentioned that they have not taken an uninterrupted lunch break since we have started using the Voalte technology phones.
The nurse must go to the patient’s room for every alert and physically turn off the alarm. This takes the nurse away from their lunch breaks. Nurses’ passion for wanting to help patients is taking the best from them, their love of nursing. We need to be consciously present rather than emotionally numb in our patient interactions.
One potential benefit of data safety, legislation, and patient care is the ease of getting their questions answered, and their needs met from their nurses without talking to the receptionist. We often see an information gap from one person to the next. This loss in information can be critical to patient care or experience.
With Voalte technology, the patient gets to the nurses right away, and the nurse can then directly secure message the provider regarding patient needs. The smooth transferring of information leads to patient safety resulting in patient and staff satisfaction. The downside or potential risk concomitant with this mode of patient care is patients lacking the required knowledge and skills to use the application.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant disruption in the everyday workflow in the healthcare sector. I believe telemedicine is most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice. Many immunocompromised patients are opting for televisits for fear of the virus.
One of the great benefits of telemedicine for providers is downsizing or eliminating their costs relating to staffing or office space (renting). One great benefit for patients is travel and time for the follow-ups or consultation. Many patients prefer the zoom call conference for visits that do not require invasive approaches or interventions. This promise will improve patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management because more patients engage in their health care through mobile apps.
The use of patient portals and mobile health apps allows patients to stay connected and informed. Due to the growing healthcare engagement, healthcare professionals must have the required digital tools to provide better guidance to patients and their families (Skiba, 2017). 3APA reference

Health care has changed from paper charting to computer charting to virtual visits for patients. When covid first started, office visits were canceled, and patients were set up with virtual appointments for health care. I have virtually had at least four appointments, and my daughter was seen for two virtual appointments.
These appointments can have risks due to patients not having internet services or not being not able to connect correctly to the virtual appointment. Also, specific patient populations need to be seen in person for certain types of mental health patients, medical care, or pain issues.
The whole person, which includes body language, should be observed in some instances of medical care. There is also a chance of private information being disclosed, which can’t be protected on the other side of the screen. Nurse Practitioners noted that CVT (Clinical video telehealth) alters sensory data collection during visits and alters building provider-patient relationships (Gopal et al., 2021). This too can be an issue with visits.
The benefit of using virtual visits is the patients can stay remotely to have their appointment. Another advantage is that covid is being ramped; this makes for less exposure. People without transportation can quickly get answers via telehealth and have prescriptions ordered.
I had gone to a clinic the other day, and I thought how I just wanted to leave because people were sick and coughing. I felt that my daughter and I were exposed because she had to get a shot. Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do virtually. As the validity and reliability of these tools for virtual appointments become established, the use of adapting online health information criteria could be eliminated (Skiba, 2017). This service puts less stress on nurses and doctors with physical appointments that can be made virtually.
Patients are now becoming engaged in their health care and choosing what health care options they want to select. By leveraging interactive patient care technologies, patients and families were committed to taking an active role in pain treatment plans and evaluating treatment outcomes (Rao-Gupta et al., 2018). The changes with virtual appointments give patients more involvement with their care.
I have seen a drastic change over the years with patient care. Patients ask for appointments virtually and go through the motions to ensure access is available for proper care. Many appointments can be made virtually. With the rapid onset of covid, it just makes more sense to see the patient effectively and plan of care if it warrants that the patient does not physically need to be seen. This will improve health care and keep the health care organization on a safer path from covid and crowding of clinical. 3 APA References
