Naivete or Boldness?
Case analysis: write up Naiveté v. Boldness

• Who are the relevant stakeholders and what is at stake for each of them?
Foley: She believed that the advice of consultant was not correct. She did not want CEO to sale the hospital. First, she was just promoted to be Senior Vice President and COO. She was quite satisfied with this job because she had more responsibility for the hospital and more chance to complete her MAB. What is more, she had a strong mentor, CEO. Right now, CEO was counting on her support. If she disagreed with him, he might lose confidence on her. So she might lose career opportunities in the future. In the meanwhile, she thought such disagreement means that she betrayed CEO and let him down. She might also leave the hospital if it was sold. If so, she had to find another job again. It was time-consuming and the position may not be as better as COO. Such a disruption can also have negative influence on her family. As a mother, she has to give her son better life. Moreover, she, as COO of the hospital, bears the responsibility of providing good healthcare to the community. If the hospital was sold, community would be hurt and that was Foley last thing want to see.

CEO: He had to solve his institution’s financial problems and the sale of hospital would be the best solution right now.

Consultant: He offered an advice to CEO and if CEO agreed, he could not only earn reputation but also earn much more income from this deal.

CFO: He was isolated by the analysis because CEO did not trust him.

Consumer: If the hospital was sold to for-profit institution, there would be one local hospital left. Without competition, that local hospital could manipulate the price and it might provide terrible service to consumer. Therefore, consumers would be hurt if the sale happened.

Community: Community needs all kinds of healthcare. If the hospital was sold, its service array, such as mental healthcare, charitable offerings might be cut because

    Hcs/531 Week 1 Term Paper

    • There are 3 reasons that hospitals merged or consolidated and they are: drawing on the strengths of the other facility, seek help with struggling finances, and the gain of a demographic advantage that makes it more convenient for patients to travel to (healthcarefinancenews.com, 2013). This would impact the hospital by helping those hospitals struggling to make it financially (healthcarefinancenews.com, 2013). Capital needs and technology needs are assisted with merging into a bigger system (healthcarefinancenews.com, 2013). This also allows for a rise in accountable care organizations amongst merging…

    Hilary Rodham Clinton's Three Major Issues In The Healthcare System

    Throughout history we have seen a transformation in the health care system. Before 1870, hospitals, for example were constructed and operated on a charity-based foundation, and were home for strangers and the poor (Starr 171). Doctors on the other hand, would work without pay, and majority of their health care took place in patient’s homes, which required a more personal patient-doctor relationship. Nonetheless, today, we see that none of this applies. Hospitals have become an essential part of our existence, and as the health care demand increases, so did the need for technology and specialization, driving costs up and causing the charity based foundation to shift to a profitable business.…

    Healthcare System in Turmoil

    In the United States as the health care system continues to be in turmoil the patients are continuing to struggle to keep their medical care and that can be either if they are trying to maintain at least a standard of care or just simply hoping that the medical facility that they may prefer, such as a local hospital or community center will be able to stay in business, or that they will have continued accessed to emergency rooms even if they are the uninsured. In the midst of this health care system turmoil there are other segments in the health care sector that may be experiencing financial problems, such as hospitals in these three states, (New Jersey, California and New York). In New York several hospitals are already seeking protection under the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy code after the Berger Commission proposed fast moving changes to their health care system.

    Managing Conflict and Interpersonal Relationships

    After reading the case study, I felt like the CEO had a good vision but did not execute it correctly. From readings, I have learned that “conflict is inevitable and necessary for a vibrant organization” (Johnson, 2009, p. 151). “Conflict that is channeled and managed is a rational route to change, improvement, thought creation, and organizational longevity if not survival. The existence of conflict means there are opportunities to find improved alternative solutions to the current state of affairs” (Johnson, 2009, p. 151). As the CEO, once he decided to take the organization in a different direction, the first thing he should have done was communicated this to his staff, especially subordinates to get there feedback and maybe receive some advice on how to effectively implement these changes as well as identify potential issues that could arise. Since the subordinates are the ones directly affected by the change, it is very imperative to include them in the change. Including the staff gives them a sense of belonging; they feel a part of the organization and will be more motivated to see that the change is executed as smooth as possible because it reflects their work. Communication is also vital when trying to build strong positive interpersonal relationships. “Interpersonal relationships are vital for leaders and mangers in healthcare organizations, while communication, along with other factors, serves as a foundation for relationships” (Johnson, 2009, p.157). The second thing that the CEO should have done was ensure that his staff was knowledgeable on the changes taking place as well as knowing their jobs and enhancing their skills. This can only be…

    Blind Optimism

    (FORTUNE Magazine) – Sudha Shah is at the peak of her game. As one of the top sales reps for a big software company, she's won the respect (and perhaps envy) of her co-workers, and she has earned a bucket of money in commissions. Last year Sudha blasted through her sales quota by more than 400%, bringing around $40 million in revenue to SAP, the German business-software maker--more money than all but one of her 300 sales colleagues in the U.S. She won't hint at what her commissions were for 2000, but one former SAP rep estimates that Sudha's total compensation may well have exceeded $800,000.…
