Final Project Milestone Three: Organizational Analysis

Prompt: In Milestone One, you selected an organization to analyze from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR database and received approval and feedback from your instructor on your proposal. In Milestone Two, you submitted a draft of the policy research report and received feedback. Now, for Milestone Three of your final project, you will apply the economic principles you have examined through the first seven weeks of the course to your chosen organization by submitting a draft of the organizational analysis report. Based on instructor feedback and direction to this milestone, you will revise your organizational analysis report for the final submission of the policy research and organizational analysis report in Module Nine. Your analysis of your chosen organization must address the following elements: I. Organizational Impact and Recommendations: A. Organization Introduction: What organization is the focus of your report, the sub-industry or type of organization it belongs to (home care, hospital, etc.), and what is the financial background of the organization? B. Nonprofit or For-Profit: Is the organization you selected a nonprofit or a for-profit? What differences will this make in terms of economic policy impact? II. Financials, Market, and Demand: A. Demand Theory: Explain how demand theory is reflected in the organizational financial statements. B. Market Behavior Impact: Explain how and why market behavior affects the financial statements at various times throughout the calendar year for your organization. III. Economic Legislative Changes: A. Legislative Changes: Considering the economic and legislative changes you researched, what changes are most likely to impact your organization, and why? B. Policy Changes and Impact: Considering the legislative changes and type of organization you have selected, what possible organizational policies may result? Discuss the possible resulting policy changes that may occur within the organization. What is, or will be, the impact of these policy and legislative changes on your organization? C. Statement Impact: In what ways would you expect to see the financial statements to be impacted because of these changes, and why? D. Potential Disparities: Would the legislative changes cause disparities in care that could further impact your organization, or that your organization could plan to combat? How would you recommend planning for these? Guidelines for Submission: Your report should be in APA format and all resources and references should be cited appropriately. A well-written, concise report will fall within the range of 4–6 pages, not including a title and reference page.

Proposal

For this report, the organization that I would like to focus upon will be St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. This hospital specializes in treating children that have pediatric cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Since their inception in 1962, the organization has focused upon having a 100% survival rate for every child that has come through their doors and medically treated. Back in 1962, the survival rate was 20% for childhood cancer, and as of right now, more than fifty years since first opening their doors, it is at 80% (Stjude.org, 2020).

St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital is a nonprofit organization. As per their mission statement, “St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay. (Stjude.org, 2020). The majority of this organization’s funding comes from individual contributors and generous donors. They also have an operating model unique to this organization, called American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities (ALSAC). The sole purpose of ALSAC is to raise money and awareness for St. Jude’s (Charitynavigator.org, 2020). Annual reports and other financial data is easily found to be analyzed and researched for this class and final project.
