Each student will write an 8 to 10 page individual research paper in APA 7 format including properly formatted in-text citations and a reference list. The paper will describe how to create a health care organizational culture that embraces change and innovation using concepts from this course and other courses in the MS in Management program to make specific recommendations.
Using the readings from this course on leadership, materials from other courses, and the Library Instruction Module to facilitate your own independent research, explore issues related to change management and innovation in the health care industry.
In your paper:
Include an introduction that previews the organization of your paper and previews your major recommendations.
Describe organizational culture and change management. Are standard definitions relevant or do health care organizations need more focused ways of discussing these concepts? Explain.
Select the leadership approach that you recommend for creating a health care culture that embraces change and innovation. Describe this leadership approach clearly. How is it different from other approaches to leadership? Why is it particularly salient in the health care setting? How does it facilitate an organizational culture that embraces change and innovation? Why do you recommend this approach above styles/approaches to leadership?
