Hedgefund activism

/in /by

Please take a stand on the following question: Is hedge fund activism good for society?

Please provide a compelling analysis, based on data, to support your answer. This analysis should consider: 1) Is activism good for target firm common stock holders? 2) Is activism good for target firm bondholders? 3) Is activism good for employees of target firms? 4) Is activism good in a broader societal sense: governance, environment, social?

While this question is complex, I want you to choose a side based on your interpretation of the evidence that is available to you. There is not a correct answer, but like many complex issues, there are costs and benefits of activism that accrue to different stakeholders. I would like you to take a stand on your view of the net cost or benefit (benefit minus cost) that activism has on society.

You should use at least two sources of information to answer this question, which can be analyses by others (academic or otherwise), opinion pieces by others, or books by others. You do not need to attach your source material, but you should clearly reference the material (for example, with a web link if possible or a citation if the work is academic in nature).

Regardless of your exact answer, I will be grading you primarily on the strength of the analysis that you conduct and whether this analysis supports your final decision.

Discussion—The Literature Review Process

As the community assessment is completed and the statement of the health problem is clearly stated and appropriately quantified using the available epidemiologic tools, one must now start looking at an adequate and suited intervention or policy to address the particular public health problem. The availability of scientific literature is an invaluable source of information to begin searching for the most ideal and best-suited intervention, program, or policy to specifically address the targeted objectives emanating from the community assessment.

Because of the considerable amount of scientific literature, a systematic approach to literature searching is imperative to locate credible, high-quality evidence as efficiently and exhaustively as possible. To be systematic, a guide must be applied to aid in what literature is important, where to search for related literature, how to find evidence-based literature, and how to organize the results of a search.

In your analysis and evaluation of the three related peer-reviewed scientific articles for Week 3 Project, please share with your peers any difficulties, strategies, or techniques that you developed, discovered, or utilized to simplify or enhance the literature review process.

The steps for reviewing the Scientific Literature and Organizing Information are listed below. Please note that you do not need to follow the same order.

  • Review the issue statement and purpose of the search
  • Select a bibliographic database
  • Identify key words
  • Conduct the search
  • Refine the search
  • Select and organize documents for review
  • Abstract pertinent information from each document
  • Summarize and apply the literature review

If you found that some sections of the literature review process were more difficult compared to some other steps, please talk about this difficulty in this discussion thread.

Provide reasons or evidence in support of your responses.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words.

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the week, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Consider commenting on their difficulties and your thoughts for suggestions or resolutions.

Support your answers with examples and research. Your responses should clarify your understanding of the topic. They should be your own, original, and free from plagiarism. Follow the APA format for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources.

Evaluation Criteria:

  • Reviewed the issue statement and purpose of the search.
  • Selected a bibliographic database.
  • Identified key words.
  • Conducted the search.
  • Refined the search.
  • Selected and organized documents for review.
  • Abstracted pertinent information from each document.
  • Summarized and applied the literature review.
  • Shared with peers any difficulties, strategies, or techniques that you developed, discovered, or utilized to simplify or enhance the literature review process.
  • Responses demonstrated in-depth research and analysis.
  • Justified your answers with appropriate research and reasoning.
  • Commented on the postings of at least two peers.

For the above assignment,  use the following guide:

  • Describe the current policy/status, which organization regulates and determine if it needs to change; if opposed to change, state why.
  • Provide the process required to make the change with key players and parties of interest; identify the groups who are opposed
  • Explain how AP roles (which ones) could lead the effort to make or influence the change in policy or keep the policy the same and the impact in healthcare quality.
  •  Demonstrate group cohesiveness

Offer a solution in which you recommend evidence-based strategies to improve communication within the team and explain how the strategies benefit the team and patients.

The ability to effectively communicate as part of interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for patient safety and successful health care delivery.

  • Competency 1: Explain the principles and practices of highly effective interdisciplinary collaboration.
    • Describe communication barriers that can occur within an interdisciplinary team.
    • Recommend evidence-based strategies to improve communication within an interdisciplinary team.
    • Explain how specific communication strategies benefit both team members and patients.
  • Competency 3: Explain the internal and external factors that can affect the health of individuals, families, communities, and populations.
    • Explain how communication barriers between members of an interdisciplinary team can affect patient safety and health care outcomes.
  • Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations of a nursing professional.
    • Write content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, APA formatting, and mechanics.

Directions

Create a 6–8-slide PowerPoint presentation to examine the communication issue and the risk it creates for positive health care outcomes.

  • Describe the types of communication barriers that occur within an interdisciplinary team.
  • Explain how the communication barriers can impact patient safety and health care outcomes.
  • Recommend specific evidence-based strategies to improve communication within the team.
  • Explain how the strategies will benefit team members and patients.

Use the notes section of each slide to expand your points and cite your supporting evidence. Also, include a title slide and a reference slide that lists the resources you used in this assessment.
