UNIT 2 - DISCUSSION BOARD – TYPES OF CHANGE Delivery Length: 500-600 words Respond to the scenario below with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear and use research to reinforce your ideas.Now that you have gained an understanding of Red Carpet, Leroy has asked you to join in on a preliminary meeting with the VP of HR and other members of the organization to discuss change. The meeting is important because many employees are unsure of their role in the change process. In fact, the VP of HR has not settled yet on what type of change is needed or how to start the change process. Leroy has asked you to participate in the discussion to help clarify information needed about the change process. Review the Red Carpet scenario for this course*, and with your classmates, discuss the following questions that will provide insight into the change process:In your opinion, what does Red Carpet need to change? Should the change be transformational, developmental, or transitional, and why? What employees or employee groups should be included in the change process, and why? What do you recommend Red Carpet do to begin the change process?Assignment Objectives:Apply various models of organization changeEstablish a foundation for developing the skills necessary to manage change in the organizationEvaluate an organizational process using a qualitative research processINSTRUCTOR GUIDANCE FOR THIS ASSIGMENT: For this assignment, you are “drilling down” to the specifics for your change. When beginning your research, keep the following questions in mind for which you want to address in your initial post:Research transformation, developmental and transitional change. Think about the elements of each, apply to Red Carpet, and then determine which is the BEST option for Red Carpet (defend your choice).When thinking about stakeholders, consider who may be affected (i.e. who may lose their job); think about the impact on the local community; consider customers who may be concerned (deteriorating quality, order lead time, etc..).What would employees question the most? Their job security? Community leaders may be concerned about a downturn in the local tax base, etc..Again, going back to the live chat #2 – define your BASIC CONSIDERATIONS for change. They MUST be concrete and specific. RED CARPET SCENARIO IS ATTACHED TO THIS MESSAGE

The case study examines the transition of an orthopedic surgical group at a premier teaching and research hospital from a system in which the surgeons are compensated with flat salaries to a system where they are compensated based on profitability. Students will critique the MGOA’s Proposed New Plan as proposed by Dr. Herndon that includes the components of base salary, development fund tax, bonus, and adjustment of base salary. Dr. Herndon stated:“Our physicians need to be motivated to be clinically productive (as opposed to being productive in research and teaching). If salaried with no control over their expenses or income, productivity will decline and make them feel helpless in their environment. If empowered with a mechanism to control their expenses and enhance their income, they will respond with increased productivity. “However, the proposal is facing some opposition among the physicians, with some expressing:“Why punish the doctors who are doing more than their share to cover those who aren’t bringing in enough? It’s unfair.” “What if I have a great year and I bring in substantial profits, but the department doesn’t do well—then I may not get a bonus at all?” “An academic faculty practice should provide an environment that supports its faculty in pursuing interests in research and teaching”. Assignment details:In no more than ten (10) pages, APA Style, critique Dr. Herndon’s proposalStudents who support the proposal must substantiate their support, while those who disagree with the proposal must provide a viable alternativeThe primary issues involve the concepts of incentive pay and pay-for-performance, however, students should feel free to discuss other areas of compensation if relevant to their analysisWithin the paper, students must demonstrate knowledge of the relevant labor market for orthopedic surgeons, as well as current salary requirements and structuresThe analysis should include the following topics with the respect to the MGOA plan and any recommended alternative:Physician activities or behaviors that are rewardedThe strengths and challenges of the planPotential modifications that could address issues or concerns associated with the planThe intended or unintended consequences that could occur
