Seek an organization via the Internet that has closed or been taken over and use the example on page 45 and the worksheet in your textbook on page 47 to analyze the organization. Provide one PEST factor and explain the issue-impact-implication it had on the community and healthcare business surrounding the failed site. Do not use your book as a reference, it is just a tool to provide the best way to seek your sources. Discussion Rubric Simplified: Requirements for posting in your discussion boards this quarter are listed in each discussion and as an attachment in the library under discussion forums. It is important to understand what is acceptable and what is forbidden. APA standard rules apply so be sure you review them! The forbidden list is located in your course library. Each discussion must be researched and do not use the book as a reference as we all have the same information and this is redundant posting. A minimum of 250 words are necessary for your first post. Two responses are required to fellow students be sure you watch for commentary from your instructor and respond accordingly. A minimum of three sentences per response please. "Great and good job" does not qualify as a sentence or a response. Do not use your book to as a reference to the discussion board as it is redundant and everyone has the book. Always seek an outside resource for discussion posts. Do not post your discussion as a word doc attachment. A zero grade will be applied. Use an outside resource for your initial post. Seek information through healthcare news articles and journals. Follow APA standards on referencing. Please use the NAU Library APA guide for assistance. Use full APA standards for all references. A URL reference link post alone will lose 12 points per discussion before grading. Be professional in your grammar and punctuation use spell check and capital letters where needed. Points lost if not professional.
