Based on the case study, provide examples for Tesla of at least three strategically required organizational outcomes, and three required workforce competencies and behaviors.
Case Study: Tesla’s Strategy
By 2017 Tesla Motors briefly had a market value higher than the much-larger General Motors. Tesla’s strategic plan, formulated in 2006 by company founder Elon Musk, was to start by offering a high-performance energy-efficient electric roadster “without compromises” and then expand to offer less-expensive family cars, while eventually enabling battery recharging with solar power devices.
By early 2017, it was clear that Tesla was not soon going to achieve its goal of producing 5,000 Model 3 family sedans per week, and the company also faced numerous human resource management–related challenges.
For example, hundreds of workers stopped building Tesla’s battery factory near Reno, Nevada, claiming that outside contract workers were lowering their pay. Workers at Tesla’s car plant complained of high employee accident rates. Musk reportedly said that Tesla wasn’t
skimping on safety to make more profit, but rather to survive and continue to offer employment.
Tesla also laid off about 700 workers at its California manufacturing facility. Many union activists asked why, having to ramp up production of the new Tesla Model 3, the company would dismiss so many employees. Some felt it wasn’t because of poor performance reviews, but because Tesla wanted to fire employees who wanted a union. Elon Musk defends dismissing the 700 workers. Basically, he said (1) most companies have performance reviews and use them to screen out employees, and (2) because it wants the highest-quality cars, Tesla needs to have higher performance standards than its competitors. As Musk says, if a little company wants to compete with a giant one, the little one must have a lot more skill, or it will get beaten.
Some of Tesla’s HR procedures are also somewhat unusual. For example, Tesla requires that new employees sign confidentiality agreements prohibiting them from discussing Tesla’s business strategy and working conditions. The United Auto Workers filed unfair labor practice charges against Tesla, claiming that such agreements violate employees’ rights.
Tesla does use some sophisticated HR tools to improve its HR processes. For example, they used talent analytics to determine if employee referral programs improve their recruitment and retention processes and distributed an employee engagement survey.
By May 2017, Tesla appointed a new HR head, Gaby Toledano, with the title Chief People Officer. In announcing the appointment, Tesla noted that she would help Tesla address its labor and harassment disputes. Ms. Toledano acknowledged that some disputes between workers weren’t reaching the HR office fast enough, but she said she’s working on the problem. Furthermore, Tesla employees receive antidiscrimination and antiharassment training.

What are the primary differences between the two teams?
There are two examples of interprofessional teamwork in the acute care setting—one is a resuscitation team and the other is a rapid response team (RRT). What are the primary differences between the two teams?
Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction?
1. Consider a drug that is used to help prevent blood clots in certain patients. In clinical trials, among 5798 patients treated with this drug, 157 developed the adverse reaction of nausea. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that 3 % of users develop nausea. Does nausea appear to be a problematic adverse reaction?
2.Suppose 221 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 55 of them developed nausea. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that more than 20 % of users develop nausea.
3.Consider a drug testing company that provides a test for marijuana usage. Among 326 tested subjects, results from 26 subjects were wrong (either a false positive or a false negative). Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that less than 10 percent of the test results are wrong.
4.A 9-year-old girl did a science fair experiment in which she tested professional touch therapists to see if they could sense her energy field. She flipped a coin to select either her right hand or her left hand, and then she asked the therapists to identify the selected hand by placing their hand just under her hand without seeing it and without touching it. Among 288 trials, the touch therapists were correct 118 times. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that touch therapists use a method equivalent to random guesses. Do the results suggest that touch therapists are effective?
5.In one study of smokers who tried to quit smoking with nicotine patch therapy, 36 were smoking one year after treatment and 35 were not smoking one year after the treatment. Use a 0.10 significance level to test the claim that among smokers who try to quit with nicotine patch therapy, the majority are smoking one year after the treatment. Do these results suggest that the nicotine patch therapy is not effective?
6. A data set includes data from student evaluations of courses. The summary statistics are n = 85 , x = 3.44 , s = 0.59. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the population of student course evaluations has a mean equal to
3.50. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
7. In a test of the effectiveness of garlic for lowering cholesterol, 49 subjects were treated with raw garlic. Cholesterol levels were measured before and after the treatment. The changes (before minus after) in their levels of LDL cholesterol (in mg/dL) have a mean of 0.4 and a standard deviation of 2.46. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with garlic treatment, the mean change in LDL cholesterol is greater than 0. What do the results suggest about the effectiveness of the garlic treatment? Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
8. A data set lists earthquake depths. The summary statistics are n = 500 , x = 4.37 km, s = 4.24 km. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of a seismologist that these earthquakes are from a population with a mean equal to 4.00. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
9. Listed below are the lead concentrations in μ g/g measured in different traditional medicines. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the mean lead concentration for all such medicines is less than 16 μ g/g. Assume that the sample is a simple random sample.
13.5 11 5.5 22.5 18 22 2.5 21.5 4.5 5
10. Assume that a simple random sample has been selected from a normally distributed population and test the given claim. Identify the null and alternative hypotheses, test statistic, P-value, and state the final conclusion that addresses the original claim. A safety administration conducted crash tests of child booster seats for cars. Listed below are results from those tests, with the measurements given in hic (standard head injury condition units). The safety requirement is that the hic measurement should be less than 1000 hic. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that the sample is from a population with a mean less than 1000 hic. Do the results suggest that all of the child booster seats meet the specified requirement?

You are asked to create a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of your proposed PDSA project as a companion to your findings. To complete this assignment, you are encouraged to practice the skills with data that you create (this does not have to be valid data). The goal here is that you are attempting this comparison to prepare for an actual CBA analysis with the completion of your end of semester project.
This analysis is a comparison of two or more options to determine which option has the most long-term benefits. The analysis details each option’s strengths, weaknesses and estimates the financial implications of each.
Using your PICOT and your PDSA plan, create the current state option, a future state option using Cost Benefit where each is identified by a cost in dollars and compare using examples provided. Note that you may feel your PDSA project may not have a need for a CBA in which case you can submit justification for why no cost analysis is warranted, but you must then c reate from your practice experience some situation where you can complete an analysis to complete the assignment.
