Hello,

This is an assignment for English American Literature II about drama. I need you to watch a play and write a paper them using modernism and postmodernism.

Here is the full info about the paper

“The Final Lesson covers American Drama. We will look at two seminal plays about the American dream, examining those plays through the lenses of modernism and postmodernism. Look for these plays on YouTube. You can watch the plays scene by scene (it’s hard to find full versions all in one take on YouTube) and you will understand them much better if you watch as you read. The famous version of Glen Garry Glenross includes a scene that is not in the book, but it’s pretty terrific and worth watching. It stars Alec Baldwin and many other famous people. The version of Death of a Salesman with Jason Robarbs is my favorite but the one with Dustin Hoffman is also terrific. The paper will also be written during this lesson. No late papers will be accepted.”

The final paper will involve answering the two questions below. Be sure to included quotes from the plays, and the source discussed below. Do not use sources from outside the course. Cite your sources (even those you paraphrase) and create a Works Cited for each answer using MLA formatting. Use Son of citation machine or a site like it to help you if you need it. You will have to use Word to create the paper. If you upload your essay using any other program, I might not be able to open your paper.

Organize your answers with a short introduction and body paragraphs. Create a thesis for each paper that will come at the end of the introduction. Create topic sentences for each body paragraph.

Each answer should be about 700 words long. Provide a word count at the end of the answers from you computer. You can go longer but if you go shorter, you won’t be able to fully answer the questions. Feel free to email each other questions as you work and of course, you should email me questions as well!

Middleville Regional Health Care is one (1) of three (3) hospitals serving a community of 350,000 people. Summary statistics on Middleville and its competitors, from the AHA Guide, are shown below in Table 1. All three organizations are not-for-profit.

Table 1: Middleville, Brierfield, and Greystone Health Care Systems

The governing board of Middleville hired a consulting company to evaluate its strategic performance, specifically in the areas of Human Resources, Information Technology, Financing, and Marketing. As part of the consultant’s evaluation, several leaders of Middleville’s units were asked their perspective of the organization’s performance.

You are working for the consultant. Your job is to identify the issues from the response that should be considered further by the consultant team and possibly discussed with the governing board and the CEO. The firm has a rule, “Never offer a criticism or negative finding without suggesting how the client organization can correct it,” so you must indicate what sort of correction you would recommend as part of your list. Because you know there were about two (2) dozen other interviews, you decide you should rank your issues in importance, to make sure the most critical are discussed.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1. Explain the governing board’s role in these strategic initiatives, determining its responsibility and involvement.
2. Evidence-based management means that operational and strategic decisions are made based upon the evidence that goals and objectives are actually being met. Quantitative measurements must be identified and measured. This data is then used to evaluate the HCO’s performance. Name three (3) performances Middleville can use to measure its success in providing quality healthcare to the community, and identify quantifiable, measureable indicators that can be used to do so. Explain the importance of each performance measurement.
3. Given the statistics of Middleville and its two (2) competitors provided in Table 1, recommend to the HCO what areas it should focus on to maintain its competitive market share as well as continue to provide healthcare to the community in the 21^st century.
4. Some of Middleville’s Board members are very interested in pursuing advanced technology systems over the next five (5) years, while others are concerned about the enormous expense and need assurance that the investment in technology will be worthwhile. In both monetary and process terms, describe the costs and benefits associated with implementing EMR and associated health data systems. Lay out a plan for how various systems can be implemented.
5. Middleville has faced many challenges in recruiting and retaining nurses and other clinical employees. The economy has hit the area very hard and budgetary limitations have reduced the amount of money available for salary increases. The Board knows it needs to provide other benefits to their valued employees. Provide at least two (2) suggestions to Human Resources to promote employee satisfaction and, therefore, retain experienced personnel.
6. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
7. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

1. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

•Joint ventures are a coalescence of two or more companies, that form a jointly held company operating within the foreign market. Using a foreign alliance in this manner is often called a strategic alliance.
•Mergers imply that two previously independent companies combined into one company.

Individuals and households are not self-sufficient. We do not produce everything we consume. The market system facilitates the exchange of money and products.

In an international market, trade allows countries to specialize and produce the good in which they have the lowest opportunity cost (comparative advantage). We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of international trade.
