This  week we will understand our impact on National Parks, and what we should  be doing to preserve them.  National parks can be a controversial  topic, so make sure that you keep your post and your replies respectful!
National  Parks can be defined as an entity that: “preserves unimpaired the  natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System  for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future  generations. The Park Service cooperates with partners to extend the  benefits of natural and cultural resource conservation and outdoor  recreation throughout this country and the world” (NPS, 2018).
We all have probably enjoyed a National Park, and if you would like more information, take time to look around: https://www.nationalparks.org/
For This Discussion:
Find a National Park: https://www.nps.gov/findapark/index.htm
Choose  the state in which you reside. There are a lot of parks, so make sure  you choose one that is different than your classmates, and use it in the  title of your post.
Recall  that this is a biology class, therefore please select a park which  allows you to discuss the wildlife (plants and animals) and ecological  advantages.
Discuss:
How large is the park? 
What types of wildlife are found there?
What kind of recreation is present?
Have you ever visited in person?
What are the ecological advantages to the park?
What are the economic advantages to the park?

50 words agree or disagree to each question
Q1.  Agree with this statement? Nope, for the reason is a business can not run on no structure because without structure everything would be a mess.  Organizational structure in a business is so important for great workflow.  This structure allows you to add positions in a way that the employees know they can follow.  Meaning that you can add a different type of CEO of something because new for the business has come up and having someone in charge of this change is important.  
The structure is like any kind even at home so knowing how to do something and who to follow from is important and any global business would be in the same agreement.  In this portion of the world, a business want’s to expand so that they need to get a new position for the new job at hand.  This means adding to the business and other characters that also go along with this new position.  It carries a very important message to new areas that this company means business and that they know who to put into a new position for the company.  
Without this structure, a business couldn’t really expand because of not having the correct person knowing how to expand the business and its culture can actually hurt a business.  These structures are put into place for that very reason.  Structures play a very big part not just for expanding business in other areas but for the future growth of its own company.  To be able to outsource whatever the company makes is also a structure that the company needs others to help and positions that grow.

Q2. Good Evening All,
I would have to disagree with the initial statement.  I believe for global business organizational structure is crucial to a company success.  Organizational structure is defined as “the way responsibility and power are allocated, and work procedures are carried out among organizational members”(Hao, 2012).  Through research I have come to find out that this concept isn’t a one size fit all matter.  In a paper titled “How does organizational structure influence performance through learning and innovation in Australia and China” it outlined how “Different types of organizational structures perform equally well; stable organization has not found many opportunities to increase profit than changing organization. On the contrary, Leitao and Franco give strong evidence about the relationship between the structure and performance, efficient organizational structure impacts positively on both types of performance: non-economic and economic.” (Hao, 2012).  To me this mean a company needs to be flexible and adapt to the global market.  Roles must be clearly identified, with the understanding that innovation may be introduced into their structure and they must adapt to continue providing the supply the market is demanding.
Organizational structure is the foundation of a company.  Think of it as a blueprint to said company. Without it there may be chaos in an organization due to the fact of work centers not knowing how they contribute to a company.  With defined roles laid out from the structure, each department can focus on their primary duties while trusting that the other departments within the same company are doing the same thing.  Take the Air Force for example, because we have a defined organizational structure, each work center can focus on their primary duties with the understanding that it contribute to the bigger picture of the organization.  Pilots can focus on just flying because they understand that there’s maintenance personnel postured to resolved in mechanical issue they may experience.  Maintenance doesn’t need to worry a great deal about not having a part because there’s a logistics squadron in place to order and receiving any part needed to complete said issue.
Another example is Walmart which has a well defined organizational structure.  Each department focuses on their primary duties with the assumption that the other departments are doing the same, which ultimately provides the consumers with the end product and great shopping experience.  But I want to mentioned similarly with the Air Force, organizational structure tends to adapt to the ever changing marketplace.  Case in point, Walmart logistics does this new method called cross docking which reduces the time it takes for products to get from the supplier to the end consumer in a fraction of a traditional distribution method.  Overall, organizational structure defines how companies should be ran with the expectation of provided superior services to end consumer.

Transitioning From Closed to Open Systems

 

Transitioning From Closed to Open Systems

 

How do effective nurse leaders and others approach problem solving and decision making in organizations? As suggested in this week’s Learning Resources, systems theory provides a valuable way to assess situations and prepare to address problems.

 

For this week’s Discussion, you identify an issue or process that could be improved and apply knowledge and strategies related to systems theory.

 

Note: You may find it helpful to view the Assignment instructions and use the same problem for this Discussion.

 

To prepare:

 

  • Review the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources on systems theory and the difference between open and closed systems.
  • Reflect on the practices and processes with which you are familiar in your organization. Identify one problematic issue or process that could be improved.
  • Consider the problem from a closed-system perspective. Then think about how the issue or process you selected could be addressed by viewing it from an open-system perspective. How would the transition from a closed- to an open-system view help you and others to address the problem and improve outcomes?

 

Post (1) a description of the problem that you identified in your selected organization. (2) Explain the problem from a closed-system perspective. Then, (3) describe how the problem could be addressed by viewing it from an open-system perspective, and (4) explain how this modification would help you and others improve health care outcomes.

    Except from Abstract: A shared purpose is an essential part of developing effective workplace cultures and one of the founding principles of practice development in establishing person-centred, safe and effective practices that enables everyone to flourish. When units within health care organizations recognize their interdependence, they can create an interdisciplinary practice through systems integration.
