How do nurses impact the health care system every day?
Every Nurse is a Leader By Stacey Whitney
Essential Questions
⦁ How do nurses impact the health care system every day?
⦁ In what ways do nurses empower each other to elevate the profession?
⦁ What important leadership opportunities exist for nurses?
Introduction
Regardless of position, role, or level of authority, every nurse is a leader. While many nurses may identify leadership with the person on the unit occupying the corner office or wearing a suit, leadership takes many forms, and leaders can be found in all areas of nursing. In each nurse lies the fruits of the vocation: compassion, wisdom, understanding, and service.
What is the sunk, or stranded, cost?
In Chapter 5 of Managerial Economics, Froeb discusses post-investment holdup as a sunk cost problem associated with contract-specific fixed investments. The modern theory of contracts is sometimes called the theory of joining wills, which simply means when parties make an agreement they are joining together to complete an endeavor of mutual interest. The problem with all contracts that endure over time is that not all potential challenges can be anticipated. The idea of joining wills is that parties will attempt to seek accommodations to advance their mutual interest, so long as the return on the invested activity pays off. Froeb illustrates the idea by the example of marriage as a contract.
Also see the help provided in the discussion preparation.
Instructions
Review the three scenarios below. Look for which, if any, of these scenarios presents an example of post-investment holdup.
- Your firm conducted a search for a new chief financial officer and hired a highly qualified candidate with a yearly salary of $250,000. After six months, the person left to join another firm.
- Your firm has an exclusive contract to assemble automobile seats for a number of luxury models. Almost 100% of the materials are imported and, of those, over 50% include parts manufactured in China. All of the prices on the parts from China increased by 25% when the United States imposed tariffs on China. Your company has informed all of its customers that increased cost must be passed on for your firm to continue supplying the seats. All of your customers reluctantly agreed to pay the additional cost.
- Your company took note of your progress toward your MBA, and when the director for customer services left the company, you were asked to take over as interim director. You were encouraged to apply for the full-time position once you got your MBA. You served for 13 months, at which time your company was acquired by another company and your position was abolished.
In your discussion post, address the following:
- Introduce yourself to your peers by sharing something unique about your background. Explain how you expect this course will help you move forward in your current or future career.
