Experiments are studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement. The usual intervention is to manipulate some variable in a setting and observe how it affects the subjects being studied (e.g., people or physical entities). The researcher manipulates the independent or explanatory variable and then observes whether the hypothesized dependent variable is affected by the intervention.  Discuss what essential characteristics distinguish a true experiment from other research designs.

In relation to this week’s course material, how do you think the disproportionate burden of other health issues (e.g., diabetes, asthma, and disability) will impact your contemporary public health issue by gender, race/ethnicity, and class?

Worksheet 5: Gathering Input and Support, Policy Idea
 
How would you engage your agency (employees, and other stakeholders) in developing ideas for a new policy to eliminate the disparities in the contemporary public health issue and among which communities? This part is important because it will provide the foundation to justify what and how you will do what you propose. Identify a new policy to improve the contemporary public health issue (e.g., eliminate COVID-19 incidence, prevalence, or mortality). Use resources currently available at the agency, interviews with stakeholders, a review of literature, and additional resources from reputable organizations.
 

What is the name of the policy or activity you are going to implement?

Who have or will you talk to about this policy/activity? How will you obtain their input? 

Who is going to be impacted by this policy?  (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, social class, community) 

What is the estimate for how much your policy implementation will cost? Provide and justify a budget for the planning and/or implementation.

In the last month, Mrs. G. has fallen twice sustaining injuries, though minimal. Her home health nurse comes weekly to check in on her. Mrs. G. likes her very much and wishes she could come more often. Mrs. G.’s daughter who lives in the next town over, has been worried and decided with the urging of her siblings and the doctor to start looking for an assisted living facility for her mother. She found one last week and talked with the Director who said she would be happy to help in whatever way was best. The daughter decided to tell her mother that it was time for her to move, so she can be cared for and be safe. When she told her mother, Mrs. G. cried and said, “This will not happen ever.

Write a research paper about mechanistic organizational structure and organic organizational structure in which you address environmental considerations and changes and compare and contrast the two types of structure in terms of their differences and their application to the current environment.
Introduction
It is useful to focus on the importance of designing organizations that are flexible and responsive in the hyper-competitive and rapidly changing global marketplace of today. Because of the nature of today’s environment, it is absolutely critical that organizations be flexible, adaptable to change, and completely focused on the customer. This requires that they are able to completely reinvent themselves as necessary. It can literally mean the difference between success and failure.
What do we mean when we talk about mechanistic and organic organizational structure? How do these types of structures influence organizational performance and the ability of an organization to learn and adapt to changes in the environment? Is one type preferable over the other?
Complete the following:

Briefly define mechanistic organizational structure and organic organizational structure.
Compare and contrast the main differences between the two types of organizational structure.
Explain how environmental changes translate into mechanistic versus organic organizational structure.
Describe how the current environment is changing and where you see it heading.
Compare how mechanistic organizations handle the turbulence of hyper-change and hyper-competition versus how organic organizations address the same issues.
Explain which type of organizational structure you feel is more applicable to the current local and global environment, and why.

To successfully complete this assessment, you will need to conduct some research into mechanistic and organic organizational structure. You should format this assessment as a research paper following current APA guidelines for style and citing sources, making sure that you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each bullet point, while also being as clear and concise as possible.
Please note: The term environment is used throughout this course to mean all of the external factors that affect an organization. These include, but are not limited to, the overall global market, the industry as a whole, and the financial market.
