I will pay for the following article Three Value Disciplines: Characteristics of organizations. The work is to be 12 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. In their 1993 Harvard Business Review article Michael Treacy and Fred Wiersema offered a unique strategic framework of three value disciplines. Their work was based on the three-year analysis of 40 successful business organizations. The authors suggested that the companies sell value, which is different for various groups of customers. While it is impossible to satisfy all the customers’ requirements, companies usually focus on some particular value. Depending on the value an organization sells, it operates within one of three value disciplines: operational excellence, customer intimacy or product leadership. The whole culture and operational processes of a successful organization are usually built around only one of the values, while standards are observed in the remaining two disciplines. The idea was later expanded in the best-selling book The Discipline of Market Leaders (Cambridge, Mass.: Perseus Books, 1995). This paper examines characteristics of organizations focused on different values, discusses integrated HRM practices and processes and suitable leadership styles. Organizations within three value disciplines basically differ in cultures, visions, goals, and operational practices.

A. Characteristics of Organizations:

i) A customer intimacy focused organization uses a combination of Porter’s differentiation and focus strategies. Customer intimacy targets segments with products created specifically for those segments.

30— Length bias occurs because fast growing tumors are more likely to be picked up by a screening test tan are slow growing tumors.

True

False

 31— Selection bias is most likely to occur in studies where

Only exposure has occurred at the time of subject selection

Only outcome has occurred at the time of subject selection

Exposure and outcome have already occurend at the time of subject selection

32—- Read the following abstract by lee YC, Chien KL, Chen HH, Lifestyle risk factors associated with fatigue in graduate students. J Formos Med Assoc. 2007 Jul; 106(7): 565-72 National Taiwan University, Taipe, Taiwan.

Background/Purpose: Fatigue is not only common in clinical patients but is also prevalent in the healthy population. This student aimed to estimate the prevalence rate of fatigue and identify significant risk factors among graduate students.

METHODS : Health check-ups were carried out on graduate student who were newly admitted to the National Taiwan University in thi cross- sectional study. A total of 1806 attendees (response rate 84%) agreed to participate in the fatigue survey, which used the Checklist Individual Strength questtionarie (CIS 20). The modiefd Baecke´s questionnaire was used to quantify the intensity of physical activity.

RESULTS: The prevalence rates of fatigue were 45.8% for males and 48.9% for females. Regulars meals (odds ratio [OR], 0.69) and exercise habits (OR, 0.68), insomnia (OR, 2.23), greater amount of sleeping time (OR, 0.7), identity (doctorate vs. Master students; OR, 0,61) and chronic disease history (OR, 1,61) were statistically significant predictors for fatigue. Intensity of physical activity was protective factor (ORs, 0,72, 0,50 and 0,36 in the 2nd, 3rd and top quartiles vs. 1 st quartille; p 0.0001).

CONCLUSION: A high prevalence rate of fatigue among the graduate students was demostrated. The risk factors among young adults are not only relatad to corrent chronic diseade and insommia but are also attributed to the lack of physical activity. When we talk about the results of this study bieng relevant to the etiologic role that lifestyle factors may play in the etiology f tatigue among graduate students, as opposed to the role they may play among the general population at large, we are referring to:

Confounding

Effect-modification

External validity

Internal validity

33—– A public health group conducts blood glucosa screenings at a local shopping center. Individuals whose results fall beyond a certain cut point are referred for further testing. This is an example of:

Diagnostic testing

Primary prevention

Secondary prevetion

Tertiary prevention

34—– In setting the cut point for a screening test to be considered positive, what will happen if the cutpoint is set too low (assuming a highert score is more indicative of tru disease presence)?

The sensitivity will increase and specificity will decrease

The sensitivity will decrease and the specificity will increase

Both the sensitivity and the specificity will increase

Both the sensitivity and specificity will decrease

35—– Removing a precancerous lesión on the skin as to prevent skin cáncer

Primary Prevention

Secondary Prevention

Tertiary Prevention

36———- What type of epidemic is caracterizad by person-to-person transmission that often results in an epidemic curve with two or more modes?

Continuing epidemic

Intermittent epidemic

Poin Source epidemic

Propagated epidemic

37— Chavarro et al (2008) reportd: ¨we examined the relation of fish and seafood n-3 fatty acid intakes with prostate cáncer incidence and mortality. During 382,144 person-years of follow-up. 2,161 men were diagnosed with prostate cáncer and 230 died of prostate cáncer. In crude analyses, seafood n-3 fatty acid intake was associated with prostate cance mortality (p 0,02). Base don this information, what can you conclude?

The association between n-3 fatty acid intake and prostate cáncer mortality is highly valid.

The association between n-3 fatty acid intake and prostate cáncer mortality is unlikely to be due to bias

The association between n-3 fatty acid intake and prostate cáncer mortality is unlikely to be due to chance

The association between n-3 fatty acid intake and prostate cáncer mortality is unlikely to be due to confounding

38—- Endemic means that a disease

Occurs clearly in excess of normal expectancy

Is habitually present in human popullyations

Affects a large number of countries simultaneously

Exhibits a seasonal pattern

39 —Selection bias is most likely to occurs in studies where

Only exposure has occurred at the time of subject selection

Only outcome has occured at the time of subject selection

Exposure and outcome have already occured at the time of subject selection

40- the most important criterion for establishing causality is

Eliminating chance, bias and confounding

Searching for effect modification

Having experimental evidence of biological plausibility

Correct temporal sequence

Need an argumentative essay on Book :Lamanna, Mary Ann & Riedmann, Agnes. Marriages and Families: Making Choices in a Diverse Society. Cengage Learning, 2008. Needs to be 3 pages. Please no plagiarism.

Therefore, a divorce between couples is not a private matter but it is a community divorce. Remarriage in a family most often ends in disharmony.

Divorce leaves everybody shattered. Grandchildren are separated from their immediate grandparents. Usually in a divorce children below the age of 18 are given the custody to the mother. She leaves her in laws’ house and so does the grandchildren. In most of the cases the grandchildren keep in regular touch with their paternal grandparents. Even the daughter-in-law keeps in touch. If the children are handed over to the mother who shifts to her parents’ home for support then they become closer to their maternal grandparents. If the mother remarries with 2 children with a man with kids, the children take time to adjust or never adjust at all.

Stepfamilies don’t bond the same way as the first families do. There are isolated cases where a child is welcomed wholeheartedly into the new household. He may enjoy the love of even 6 grandparents and a large family of cousins, step cousins, aunts and uncles. Due to increase in divorces and remarriages the older parents face mid-life crisis. They feel unwanted and feel lonely. Grandparents may fear that they could lose contact with their grandchildren to the other family.

“Legal divorce is the dissolution of the marriage by the state through a court order terminating the marriage”. The attorney argues and blames both the spouses and wins the battle. A divorce is like a death. It is the death of a relationship. Hence, it needs time for mourning. Generally, the person who has filed for a divorce has went through this mourning period. Therefore, it is the other person who grieves the loss. A legal divorce is usually preceded by an emotional divorce. “Emotional divorce involves withholding positive emotions and communications from the relationship” (Vaughen 1986). There are also psychic divorces where people may remain in marriage yet divorced
