How should you present data to make it most usable? 

As future nursing practitioners, it is important for you to understand that the results of evidence-based research practice should be written for others to understand and apply to their practice. Research needs to be disseminated as widely as possible at all levels, both national and international. It is important that tailored dissemination tools should be used for various target audiences and the nursing profession. This assignment is designed to help you understand how to make your research usable and available to other people in your field. 

Develop a dissemination plan for your research. Your plan should include discussion about the following: 

  • Audience 
  • Who is most likely to use this research? 
  • What is the practice setting? 
  • End-user needs 
  • How should you present data to make it most usable? 
  • Is there a specific language you should use to ensure your audience understands your purpose? 
  • Does the target audience have a specific type of need based on practice setting? 
  • Publications 
  • What specific journals, newsletters, or publications would you want to publish in to reach your audience? 
  • Presentations at local, state, and national levels 
  • At what conferences, meetings, or panels would you want to present to make sure your ideas were readily available in the field? 

Format your dissemination plan as one of the following: 

  • 18- to 20-slide presentation 
  • 15- to 20-minute oral presentation 
  • 875-words
In your own words, what is the “Black Lives Matter” Movement and what is its primary mission?

This week, we continue our look at some important contemporary social problems in order to get us in the habit of thinking from an interdisciplinary social science perspective.

Trayvon Martin. Ferguson. Freddie Gray. “I can’t breathe.” These names and phrases have taken on special significance in recent years as iconic touchpoints highlighting systemic racial injustice in the United States. These touchpoints have given rise to a modern wave of Black activism that is reminiscent of the Civil Rights movement of the mid 1900’s. Leading the way is the “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) movement which emerged in response to the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012 and continues to have a voice in matters of inequality that impact Black Americans. 

The “Black Lives Matter” movement has sparked a fervid national conversation on the state of race relations that is multilayered and complex. At its core, the movement raises concerns about the treatment of Black Americans across many social institutions (e.g. law enforcement, criminal justice, employment, education, etc.), but other debates have emerged from the movement. Should the concerns of Black Americans be considered separately or as part of a larger conversation that includes all races? Why is the phrase “All Lives Matter” antithetical to the goals of the BLM movement? How does the BLM movement address black-on-black violence? How do minorities reconcile oppression with patriotism?

As social scientists, you may be called upon to provide an opinion on difficult social topics like race and racism. By now you know that an informed opinion should be measured, based on evidence, and take into account multiple perspectives. For this topic, it’s important to understand the historical underpinnings of Black activism that have led to the “Black Lives Matter” movement of today.

Explore this week’s Learning Resources as well as the following pages from the BlackLivesMatter.com site:

• http://blacklivesmatter.com/about/

• http://blacklivesmatter.com/herstory/

• https://blacklivesmatter.com/blm-demands/

After reviewing these resources (and others that you may find), respond to the following questions: 

1) Identify some pivotal moments or issues from before the year 2000 that have shaped the civil rights movement and set the stage for the “Black Lives Matter” movement.

2) In your own words, what is the “Black Lives Matter” Movement and what is its primary mission?

3) How have people from diverse backgrounds reacted to the “Black Lives Matter” Movement? Provide some examples from the news or the Web to support your response. Remember to cite your sources.

4) How might social scientists from different disciplines talk about these issues? For example, what questions would a psychologist ask compared to an anthropologist? What issues would be the focus of a sociologist? How might a gerontologist frame this problem (think about what older people may have witnessed or experienced regarding race relations)? What other social scientists might be interested in this issue?

5) What are some potential controversies inherent in this issue? Think about why this social problem might be difficult to solve. Are there gaps in our knowledge? Lack of resources? Opposing political views? Think broadly and from an interdisciplinary perspective in order to respond to this question. 

6) Where does the solution lie? Are there policies that need to be changed or enacted to resolve the issue? Are there programs or services that might help? What agencies or industries are best equipped to help?

When writing your posts, it is very important that you focus not just on summary but also on analysis. These posts are how I determine your mastery of the material and your critical thinking.

Discussion Question:

Please provide at least a 250 word response, utilizing references from the text and/or supplemental reading. Please also be sure to respond to at least two of your peers on the forum.

Leadership strategies associated with effective project management. Certainly, these leadership strategies are essential to the high performance of any organization. Put another way, in order for everyone to demonstrate good project management skills, leaders are going to have to indeed behave in a way that allows for that better project management to emerge. Describe the steps the authors recommended for helping to make sure that the leaders in this case truly did behave in a way that would support the emergence of quality outputs in relationship to project management. What specific strategies were recommended? How do you see these strategies working for leaders today?

In September 2001, they announced that it will shut down outlets in some small cities and a delivery outlet in Delhi. Do you think the closure of the outlets would affect the growth of Domino’s?

Business Strategy

Rethinking Domino’s Expansion Plan—The Case of India

“It is a lesson for every retailer. Unviable units should be shut down. A pizza joint or a burger joint should realize that in a fast-expanding market, they are not just competing with outlets which have similar interests but also with other kinds of food outlets as well.” Arvind Singhal, MD, KSA Technopak

November 1999 to March 2001– “Sky is the Limit”

In November 1999, Pavan Bhatia took over as the CEO of Domino’s. He seemed to be very ambitious and wanted to make Domino’s the largest fast-food chain in India. Pavan went about opening Domino’s outlets across the country. According to a company handout released in early 2001, the increase in number of outlets was fourfold during March 2000-January 2001. It was the fastest growth Domino’s had in any of the 63 countries it operated in. From an average of four stores every year in its first four years of operation, Domino’s expanded to more than 100 outlets in 10 months across 30 cities in India.

Dominos entered into an agreement with a real estate consultant CB Richard Ellis to help with locations, conduct feasibility studies, and manage the construction. Pavan said, “We are in the business of selling pizzas, and one of the biggest barriers in retailing is real estate, so we decided to hand over the entire real estate operations to estate consultants CB Richard Ellis.“ Pavan realized that fast track growth could be achieved only by focusing on the core business of selling pizza. Incidentally, CB Richards was already working with oil companies, advising them on how to go about making their petrol pumps ready for competition once private players came in. therefore, CB Richards made a recommendation to Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) to let Domino’s operate in its petrol pump premises. In December 2000, Domino’s entered into an agreement with IOC to provide food products at the latter’s 7,500 outlets across the whole country.

Meanwhile, in early 2001, Pavan signed an agreement with the CEO of Jet Airways to launch their ‘ultimate deep dish,’ and ‘sweetie pie’ products on Jet Airways flights. He wanted quantum growth and felt that Domino’s needed to tie up with airports, railway stations and petrol pump stations. In early 2000, Domino’s had opened an outlet at the corporate office of Infosys, Bangalore, which was very successful. It also had outlets at cinema halls – in Delhi, Bangalore, and Kolkata. Pavan said, “For Domino’s, sky is the limit. We like to deliver hot, fresh pizzas everywhere, anytime.”

During March 2000-January 2001, Pavan opened Domino’s outlets in small towns and cities. Pizza consumption in these places was very low. Analysts felt that even those willing to choose the product, found the price unacceptable. The cost per meal was too high. In September 2001, due to low footfalls and lower volumes, the top management representative, Hari Bhartiya, planned to shut down Domino’s outlets not only in some small cities but also a delivery outlet in the wealthy Gujranwala Town in North Delhi.

Hari said, “We realized we’d be wasting too much time, money and resources trying to do it all ourselves. For instance, just acquiring a bunch of permits for each store in each city is itself a big job. Then there are the brokers, city laws, markets, licensing, title, infrastructure, water, power, lease agreements, and most important, dealing with competing restaurants.” However, Domino’s officials felt that there was nothing wrong with increasing the number of outlets andHari commented, “We needed to grow to effectively utilize the expensive back-end infrastructure (like distribution centers) that we had set up by March last year (1999) but, we feel that the growth had taken place on a business model that was not able to support it.”

Finally, in March 2001, at a board meeting, Domino’s top management, represented by Hari Bhartiya concluded that “Pavan’s performance during his 18-month tenure was not up to the mark.”The board felt that Pavan had initiated an expansion strategy that was ‘rush, thoughtless, and not properly thought out.‘ Therefore, in May 2001, Pavan Bhatia, CEO, Domino’s Pizza India Ltd.1 (Domino’s) stepped down from his post.

However, many analysts did not agree with the board’s conclusion as they felt that the board was not considering the possible long-term benefits of Pavan’s strategy. The analysts felt that there was nothing wrong with Pavan’s expansion plan, and a consultant associated with the expansion plan said, “One has to take risks to reach economies of scale. Domino’s also shook-up competition when it reached a target of 100 outlets.”

Domino’s officials who supported Pavan Bhatia’s expansion plan were of the view that only 5% of all stores were in places where business was poor and this was a globally accepted trend. They further argued that the profitable stores cross-subsidizing the unprofitable ones was also a common practice globally. However, Hari Bhartiya, without whose approval the expansion could not go ahead, insisted that the increase was only 100% in 2000-2001.

Analysts were divided in their opinion about Hari Bhartiya’s role in all these developments. While some felt that Hari Bhartiya was kept in the dark, others felt that he was a silent observer. Still others felt that Hari Bhartiya agreed with Pavan Bhatia’s strategy, only to make him a scapegoat when things went wrong. Officials who supported Pavan Bhatia’s expansion plan felt that Hari Bhartiya was completely aware of all the developments. They said that he had actively supported some of Pavan Bhatia’s plans including expansion of outlets.

However, others claimed that Pavan did take some initiatives without prior consent of Hari Bhartiya. For instance, marketing expenses of about Rs.50 million were allegedly spent without prior budgetary approvals. It was also believed that there were no records to account for an expenditure of about Rs.20 million on the Sri Lankan operations which was not completed. However, Pavan Bhatia’s supporters claimed that such claims were meant to harm Pavan and nothing of the sort could take place in a professionally run organization.

To Grow or Not To Grow?

By mid-2001, Domino’s future growth plans were also slowed down. (Refer Exhibit II) In early 2001, Domino’s had announced plans of adding 100 outlets every year, and an investment of Rs.500 million in 2001. Hari Bhartiya said, “The board had never approved either the investment or the plan to start 100 new outlets in a year’s time.” The plan to open new outlets in Bangladesh was also postponed. These corrective measures were expected to be over by late 2001. Explained Hari Bhartiya, “When you grow the way we did last year, (2000), there are bound to be problems. Now, we are dealing with them.” He was also looking for a new CEO.

Questions for Discussion:

1. Most strategic analysts would agree with Pavan believe that “fast track growth could be achieved only by focusing on the core business of selling pizza”. So, what went wrong? Explain.

2. Some analysts felt that Domino’s expansion had taken place on a business model that was not able to support it. Do you agree with them? If yes, what were the drawbacks of Domino’s business model?

3. A comment on the performance of Domino’s– “Pavan Bhatia’s expansion plan would not have come under criticism if the actual sales matched the projections.” Why do you think the new outlets were not contributing to Domino’s growth?

4. In September 2001, they announced that it will shut down outlets in some small cities and a delivery outlet in Delhi. Do you think the closure of the outlets would affect the growth of Domino’s?

  • Nonconstant Growth Valuation: The company recently paid a dividend, D0, of $2.75. It expects to have nonconstant growth of 18% for 2 years followed by a constant rate of 6% thereafter. The firm’s required return is 12%.
    • How far away is the horizon date?
    • What is the firm’s horizon, or continuing, value?
    • What is the firm’s intrinsic value today, P0?
  • Weighted Average Cost of Capital: The company has a target capital structure of 35% debt and 65% common equity, with no preferred stock. Its before-tax cost of debt is 8%, and its marginal tax rate is 40%. The current stock price is P0 = $22.00. The last dividend was D0 = $2.25, and it is expected to grow at a 5% constant rate. What is its cost of common equity and its WACC?
  • Capital Budgeting Criteria: The company has an 11% WACC and is considering two mutually exclusive investments (that cannot be repeated) with the following cash flows: 
  • What is each project’s NPV?
