1. I need a Vancouver style for my research paper.2. Please check my progress so far in the attachment (Systematic Review Progress with 75 articles). Feel free to discuss with me for clarifications or added value from your side.3. I have to work simultaneously with my research supervisor in the University, and to be in sync with him, meaning every step we finish, we need his approval before proceeding. For example, after the full-text scanning and resulting the extracted articles, and before we jump to synthesizing the result, I have to submit these results to him with the reason for exclusion (in a table) so he can give us the green light to proceed, then we will follow his instructions for the synthesizing stage.1. So can you be patient with me for this matter2. My next steps are than I need from you :(a) Final full-text screening (Extracted Studies for Systematic Review): which for the articles I screened before by title & abstracts. They are around 75 articles in the attached file (Systematic Review Progress). & already downloaded 90% their full text. please download the PDF\’s of most of them from the following link: https://KFSHRC.sharefile.eu/d/sd20d438a7ab4c44bMy supervisor suggested to do a final exclusion for them based on the following criteria: Wrong indication, Wrong intervention, Wrong outcomes, Wrong patient population, Wrong route of administration, Wrong setting, Wrong study design, Not a valid tool, not a Quantitative Study, Not enough sample size (less than 250), Not answering the research questions, and Additional Exclusion Criteria, eg. Editorials, reports, reviews.*this process should be in a clear table as I wrote in the attached file (Systematic Review Progress with 75 articles).(b) Synthesizing the results : I need to consider answering my research questions in your mind to explain the overall status of Access to Care, and try to acknowledge following:1. Different types of access to care in Saudi Arabia such as: access to medications, access to information, and access to physicians…etc.2. Different type of barriers: Geographical, educations, cost & lack of resources, social, religion, transportations, nationalities …etc.3. Different kind of interventions done by the Saudi government to overcome these obstacles.*(It’s advisable to categorize the extracted articles based of these differences and display them in a clear table)3. In Final full-text screening step, it’s recommended to finish the extracted articles with reason for exclusion ASAP with, because this is what will control our start time so my supervisor can give us the green light to proceed.4. In the synthesizing & writing step, my supervisor asked me to target an article (in attachments) with the title: Impact of pay for performance on inequalities in health care: systematic review. He wanted me use it as a standard for my style of synthesizing and writings.5. In addition to above, please consider in your article writing the criteria we use for evaluating and marking in our university, which will be in the attachment titled (Marking Criteria for Student project 2013-2014)6. Number of sources/references: I will allow your writer to use as many as he needs.7. If the writers believes there is a need to add valuable articles and citations, especially for Abstract & Introduction, please feel free to do and change accordingly what’s required in the method sections.8. Some of the above instructions can be modified slightly in the future, thus I need to work step by step with the writers & my supervisor.9. Expect a back & forth feedbacks & communications.10. 4 attachemnets are addedd, including this instructions.11. Please! I’m open for suggestions from the company writers for any added value. But in the same time update me for any further steps to consult it with my supervisor.Good luck

Leadership Paper Please interview a manager or supervisor who has people who report to him/her. This person could be your supervisor.Conduct an interview with that person either in-person or via the phone using the 6 interview questions below. Please also ask a couple follow-up questions or other questions that interest you as well!! If you would like, you could give the 6 questions to the person you are going to interview in advance so they can reflect on them before talking with you.Turn in a 1.5 to 2-page single spaced paper that includes the following:1. Your interviewed manager’s: a) name and position; b) organization; c) number of people he or she manages; d) years experience as a manager; e) how you know this person.2. Summarize and report his/her answers to the 6 questions below as well as any additional questions you asked (i.e., # 7 below). Since you are limited in space, this should be a summary of what you think is most important (i.e., not a dictation of what he or she said). Although it’s ok to leave some stuff out, you should summarize at least part of his/her answers from each of the 6 questions.3. Considering this interview with a manager, your past experiences, and what you have learned about people in this course (i.e. individual differences, motivation, teams, and leadership), do you think you would like to be a supervisor or manager in the future? Why or why not (if you are not sure, explain why)? please incorporate insights gained from your self-assessment results. If possible, please write at least a couple of paragraphs on this one.Interview Questions (Also, don’t forget to get the info for # 1 above):Q1. What are the two or three biggest challenges (i.e. the most difficult part) of managing the people you do? Can you think of any particularly difficult types of people or situations to manage?Q2. Describe something you have done as a manager that has really “worked”. That is, something you did that really motivated people, or made them work harder, or show better teamwork, or helped you or the organization in some significant way. Another way to think of this is something you are pleased or proud of in your managerial life.Q3. Describe something that you have done as a manager that did not work, or caused problems, or seemed like a good idea at the time but was not ultimately successful.Q4. Recognizing that I am an MBA student currently studying human behavior in organizations, what do you know now that you wish you knew then (e.g. before you became a supervisor)? What should they be teaching us that is really important (but you perhaps did not get enough of when in your training or you were in school)?Q5. Describe the best manager you (the manager) have had in your working career. What did he or she do that you found effective? The more specific the examples are the better.Q6. What are some of the things you enjoy most and least about supervising and leading others?Q7. Please ask any additional questions that you may have.

Management of the implementation process is concerned with management support, project risk, training, and user acceptance. Typical consequences of ineffective project management include cost overruns, missed deadlines, system performance that fails to meet user expectations, and inadequate functionality. In the case of IT systems, successful implementation includes managing change as part of systems development to avoid user resistance to business and system changes. Also, write two questions to ask colleagues such as a probing question, or Make a suggestion.

To Prepare:
Consider the following passage: By some accounts, the majority of software implementation efforts end in failureit may take twice as long as planned and cost many times the original budget. These projects may be scaled back dramatically or cancelled altogether. Many other software implementations never gain user acceptance or fail to provide the anticipated benefits.

WRITE an evaluation of what you think is the most frequent cause of IT implementation failures. Justify your answer. Explain how change management can help solve software implementation failures.

The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is the traditional approach used by organizations to plan large IT projects, such as IT infrastructure. The SDLC is a structured framework that consists of sequential processes by which information systems are developed. Whether companies use a structured method such as the traditional waterfall approach or more agile methods, all development projects start with defining the requirements and design before building the system components.

To Prepare:
Consider the following scenario: Your school intends to develop a student management system. The system will need to hold all details of registered students, including personal information, courses taken, and examination grades.

Write a 3 page paper that includes the following:
A description of the core activities in the software development process
An explanation of the distinction between systems analysis and systems design and a description of the activities involved in each
An explanation of the benefits of information systems
An explanation of what the information systems requirements are
An explanation of why the information systems requirements are difficult to determine correctly
An explanation of why the testing stage of systems development is so important.
An explanation of the difference between the three stages of testing for an information system
A description the role of programming, conversion, production, and maintenance in systems development
An evaluation of which of the three (programming conversion, production, and maintenance) is most important to project success and why
An explanation of which of the three (conversion, production and maintenance) is most difficult to do correctly and why
An analysis of the benefits and limitations of each of the following methods of building information systems: traditional waterfall method, prototyping, and component-based development
A recommendation for which method the school should use for developing a student management system and justification of your choice

Short Critical Responses: Each week students will be required to submit a short critical response (no more than 1-2 pages, word-processed, double-spaced) Please note that critical responses are not summaries of the assigned readings. Rather, they should demonstrate your understanding and engagement with the reading materials, draw parallels among the various works, and point out strengths and weaknesses in the various essays.

1. Company overview is not necessary this time. You can leave it out.

2. List and describe the major functional areas of your company; Raw Materials, R&D, Production/Manufacturing, Distribution, Sales etc. (Primary areas). Again for some of you, raw materials will be kind of short. I phones use electronic parts, plastics, rubber etc etc. Can be sourced from many places. For production, some of you have internet companies, so you are providing a service or offering. That service has to be created by either programmers or solution experts. R&D may be doing more analysis of how to bring the components of a service offering together.

3. Don\’t forget the support areas areas as well. HR, IT, Exec Mgmt. etc.

4. For each functional area please give a description of the major processes that occur in each keeping in mind the 4 building blocks of competitive advantage where they may apply, Superior efficiency, superior quality, superior customer service, and superior innovation. Not all 4 will apply in each category, the goal here is to use these building blocks, and key tangible/intangible resources to flush out issues relating to;

1. The creation of value/differentiation or 2. reducing costs where they may apply to each functional area.

Now you don\’t have to list building blocks in each functional area in your paper unless it really applies. But instead use these items as tools to flush out potential issues.

There are other tools to use as well. You may want to use Strengths and Weaknesses from SWOT. SW can be applied to internal more easily than Opportunities and Threats which are used to describe external factors.

At the end of the paper, please include in your conclusions a summary of what you feel is the Distinctive Competency of the company, and what are the potential issues. You may want to read through your external paper to point you to issues that may be related to and give light to issues in the functional areas. Please no recommendations yet in the internal analysis paper.

Hint: start practicing with doing searches on the internet for functional areas within your company. (ex. Hershey and exec management issues), or (key raw materials for Hershey chocolate). You may also want to refer to the company annual report. Take a look at Glassdoor for HR info and what it is like to work at the company. Please list your key references.
