Health Information Technology Annotated Bibliography.

Provide 10 current articles, no longer than 2 years old, unless it is a seminal article. Each citation should have a brief evaluative critique as well. You may want to cite peer-reviewed journals as well as other high-quality e-sites. Your selections are intended to support your personal HIT learning needs. Consider how you can apply this new knowledge to your current practice as an RN and your future practice as an FNP. Some of your articles may come from journals and websites, etc., that are outside of the nursing literature; none of the articles may be those that I have posted as part of this course in the Learning Guides. You can use articles from your personal discussion posts and /or written assignments though.

• The purpose of the brief critique is to inform your peers of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources you cite. Please make your critique/analysis succinct and concise.

• To be critical of an article does not mean to criticize in a negative way. Rather, it requires you to question the information and opinions of the information and to present your evaluation or judgment.

• State the aim of the article and the main finding(s).

• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article?

Your evaluation/opinion of the article can be a positive or negative evaluation or, as is usually the case, a mixed response.

Analyze concerns or opportunities about the firm’s strategic fit with its competition, suppliers, and customers.

In continuation of my Walgreens Project…last paper was not Walgreens and I have to resubmit my order and pay all over again.
Having delivered the Strategic Frame Assessment, and the Strategic Fit of the Firm Assessment to the VP, we now turn our attention to the Strategic Fit With the Industry Environment Assessment, including the corporate strategies to expand the scope of the firm to penetrate the industry environment. Understanding the strategic position of the firm within the industry environment is critical to competitive analysis and an integral component of the due diligence required for strategic decisions on the direction if the firm—to diversify, vertically integrate, or internationally expand.
Industry analysis begins at a macro environmental level with strategic tools such as the PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technological) model to forecast how an industry might change and evolve over time.

Assignment Introduction Unit 4
Here are some key questions to answer in your analysis:
Conduct a competitive analysis of the firm, using resource based theory, or value chain model. Are there vital PEST (Political, Environmental, Social, Technological) factors shaping the industry conditions? Which competitive forces (Porter’s 5-Forces Model) on the firm are most intense?
Analyze the strategic position and direction of the firm. Evaluate its corporate strategy. In which market segments does the firm participate? What are the buyers purchase criteria and basis of competition (Key Success Factors) for the market segment? Should the firm reposition its resources and capabilities (change its product scope, vertical scope, or geographical scope) in anticipation of changes in industry structural factors or competitive forces?
Analyze concerns or opportunities about the firm’s strategic fit with its competition, suppliers, and customers. Go beyond description – give a good analysis. Go above and beyond by assessing the impact of industry environment issues on the strategic position or direction of the firm.
Evaluate how the organizational structure and management systems support the execution of the firm’s strategy. Consider the organization of functional capabilities and/or value chain capabilities of the firm. Assuming the firm employs a diversification or vertical integration strategy, could costs be reduced and/or revenue increased by economizing the scale of diversification? Could costs be reduced and/or revenue increased by downsizing or outsourcing activities in the vertical scope of the firm?
Compose a preliminary strategic fit report on the firm and its industry environment.
Submit your report in a business format, noting submission requirements that can be found in your courseroom assignment page.

“Beyond Epic: Building the Business Beyond a Single Event.”

The “Beyond Epic: Building the Business Beyond a Single Event” Case Study (Fisher & Goldman, 2013) located in the Harvard Business Review is designed to allow the reader to follow the founder and CEO of a mountain bike race in South Africa who wonders how to build on the world-class event that he and his team have created. Although the event is popular and continues to grow in prestige, the business’s dependence on a single event creates both a threat and an opportunity. The founder and CEO is therefore looking for the concept or idea that will provide the business with its next injection of growth. As with the other case study activities in this course, each case study answer should be thoughtfully crafted by utilizing the insight gained in this course as a future sport manager. For this case study assignment, read the article “The Beyond Epic: Building the Business Beyond a Single Event” from the Harvard Business Review and answer the following questions, which represent the specific critical elements that must be addressed for this assignment:
