One of the major strategic issues, in this case, is the total lack of corporate communication. Viewing internal and external communication as connected functions shifts the focus of corporate communication to answering questions about how an organization can communicate consistently with its many audiences in a way that represents a coherent sense of self pg. 235. During the acquisition period, Sister Mary Theresa had failed to communicate her objectives both internally and externally as she failed to inform the Mt. Mercy board members of her tentative offer. Thus, Auston Transcript article about the acceptance of the verbal offer to MEDICO for the purchase of Abbott Hospital surprised several board members. Immediately following the article,
This case study looks at the challenges faced by Matt Hayes, executive director of Riverview Regional Medical Center (RRMC). Previously named as “The Holy Name of Jesus Hospital”, the facility was owned and operated by Catholic nuns. The Hospital Management Associates (HMA) bought the facility in August 1991 and modify the name to Riverview Regional Medical Center. Hospitals that were taken over by HMA upgraded to state-of-the-art facilities that provided high quality medical care. RRMC run numerous private practices throughout the city and shared common medical staff with their chief opponent, Gadsden Regional Medical Center (GRMC). However, the common staff from the Emergency and Radiology department were not shared. Over the past years, RRMC has been facing multiple challenges concerning the different services provided by the facility (Swayne, Duncan, & Ginter, 2013).
Middleboro Community Hospital is a non-profit hospital founded in 1890 with state licensure, The Joint Commission accreditation, and American College of Surgeons approval. Over 120+ year history, Middleboro has grown to be a respectable facility in the eyes of the medical community as well as its immediate population of patients in Middleboro. Still, Middleboro must continue to fight to remain relevant and up-to-date with the latest medical technology and changing patient demographics and needs. In order to this, Middleboro Community Hospital has set these three goals as part of their corporate strategy:

The external stakeholders are the community, patients, MedKey System members, CMS, HMOs (ie. Blue Cross Blue Shield and Tri-Care), and any other private insurances (Richards & Slovensky, 2004). Medicare reimbursement in Alabama was the lowest rate in the nation. This was a constant struggle for the hospital administrators to try to operate on such low reimbursements for their services, which is a threat. Eighty percent of patients were Medicare or Blue Cross in which there was difficulty-negotiating prices with Blue Cross due to monopoly. Buyers have high bargaining power as reimbursements rates are low from Medicare and Blue Cross held monopoly in the services area so negotiating prices was difficult. Suppliers have lower bargaining power due to low Medicare reimbursements and difficulty negotiating prices with Blue
I feel that Dr. P has a case in this situation. I feel he has the ability to sue for compensatory damages. I would argue that Dr. P is a public figure. As you said he is the foremost academic on exposure to violence and the human psyche. Since he is a public figure and his work is important to public interest. Because of this we have to prove malice. In this case we also have to determine how defamation of DR. P is present. We have to answer how his reputation is being harmed, how his standing in the community is being harmed.

Success is not accomplished overnight and instead rises from the ashes of a companies lowest points. Styker is just like any other company and also faced significant challenges such as a currency debacle of 3.7 percent constant currency that was negatively impacted by a significant second-half slowdown in China and Brazil. The sales declines in China and Brazil were offset by growth in other international markets, especially the developed markets of Europe, Japan and Australia, which had strong constant currency growth in 2015 (Stryker, n.d.). Additionally, with the merge of the Transatlantic Operating Model, Stryker eliminated the role of Group President of International and shifted the reporting of four regions to Group Presidents Lonny Carpenter, David Floyd and Tim Scannell to further strengthen our global business connections. A bold but costly move that over time will work with regional leaders to assess whether additional structural changes are warranted. In conclusion, Stryker has progressively amplified its growth and earnings in the last decade and continues to show consequential promise within the medical technology industry despite the challenges thrown its
Setting up the new project will gradually bring more free cash flow to the corporate. However, at the very beginning, the corporate must continue buying products from the former suppliers.
