Operational Barriers to Success
Delivering on a value proposition demands constant improvement and innovation as competition changes over time along with evolving customers’ needs and wants. How an organization delivers is not only dependent on its ability to serve the market but also on how well it adapts and overcomes the challenges of its own structure, culture, incentives, and design. However, an organization may face many barriers that hinder its ability to overcome these challenges.
Using the module readings, ABC University online library resources, and the Internet, research operational barriers. Based on your research, address the following:
What tools might an organization use to help identify barriers?
Identify at least three barriers that impede an organization’s ability to adopt innovative practices and processes.
Identify at least one organization that faced these barriers, describe the approach used to address these barriers, and explain whether it was successful or unsuccessful.
Explain what you would you have done differently to overcome these barriers.
Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc.
Competitive advantage implies the creation of a system that has a unique advantage over competitors. With the advent of globalization, the competition has become stronger and can be located anywhere in the world. The idea behind competitive advantage is to create customer value in an efficient and sustainable way. One approach to address this issue would be the use of resource-based theories of competitive advantage.
Resources are not simply raw materials but include all the inputs, such as intellectual capital, necessary to produce a good or service. Consider this as you address globalization strategies for Fortune 500 firms in this assignment. Be mindful of constraints, such as transportation costs and cultural barriers, as you complete this assignment.
Review the article “Resource-Based Theories of Competitive Advantage: A Ten-Year Retrospective on the Resource-Based View” by J. B. Barney from the readings for this module.
Based on your analysis of this article and other readings for this module, respond to the following:
Explain how resource-based competitive advantage drives globalization strategies for Fortune 500 firms.
Why are application of project management principles critical to effective business operations?

Assignment 1: Discussion—Characteristics of Effective Teams
Based on your knowledge from a past or present job, explain the difference between a group and a team. Would you say you were a part of a group or a team while working in that job?
Now, identify a team that you were a part of and describe the advantages that you derived from being a member of the team. Include responses to the following:
Would you characterize your role as effective? How could you have been a better team member?
What role(s) did you or the leader play in making the team effective? How could the leader have made the team more effective?
Application: A Stimulus for Health Information Technology in Health Care Organizations
The HITECH provision of ARRA will facilitate the use of new health information technology in a range of health care organizations, from hospitals to physicians’ practices. To encourage a timely transition, HITECH includes incentives for providers and organizations based on how quickly and how well they incorporate certain kinds of technology in their practices.
Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows:
In light of this week’s Learning Resources, what do you think are major challenges facing health care organizations as they seek to interpret and implement ARRA/HITECH?
Select a particular health care setting, such as a physician’s practice, academic hospital, or outpatient clinic, and consider the management implications of ARRA/HITECH in your selected setting. Do further research in the Walden Library and elsewhere online to understand the issues facing this type of organization as they expand their use of health information technology. (You will be examining the technological issues in some detail later in the course; for this Application Assignment, focus on the breadth of management challenges that ARRA/HITECH raises.)
What solutions have been found? How might you, as a manager in this particular setting, contribute to the process? What tools and knowledge would you need to be effective?
Then write a 1- to 2-page paper that addresses the following:
Summarize the purpose of ARRA/HITECH and the key benefits it offers your selected health care setting.
What kinds of management challenges does ARRA/HITECH pose to this kind of organization? How are these being addressed?
What additional solutions might you propose, and why?
