Contemporary Issues in Business Administration ” focusing on the healthcare industry “

Assignment Overview
I have a two-part assignment for a DBA module titled “Contemporary Issues in Business Administration,” focusing on the healthcare industry. Both parts must address the same subject, focus, and title—a single contemporary issue in healthcare.
The parts must complement each other and maintain academic rigor at a PhD/doctorate level.

Part 1: Presentation (Slides + Workshop) — 25% of Total Grade
Develop a case study presentation (slides) about a single, well-defined contemporary issue in healthcare (e.g., digital transformation, AI in patient care, employee burnout, mental health, etc.).

Case Study Context:
Demonstrate how this issue has impacted a specific healthcare organization or area (well-documented in the literature).
Citations from the literature must be included in most of the slides.

Content:
Introduction:
Briefly introduce the organization, industry, and contemporary issues (why they are significant, recent statistics).
Impact on the Organization: Analyze challenges and opportunities posed by this issue; discuss how it influences social and organizational dynamics, referencing relevant theories (change management models, culture frameworks, strategic leadership, etc.).

Sources:
Integrate statistics, facts, and evidence—all cited and referenced in Harvard format.
Workshop/Discussion: Create interactive slides for debates or group tasks. Incorporate feedback into your summary or recommendations.

Recommendations:
Provide actionable suggestions for future research and practice, linking them to the case study organization and the broader business management field.

References: All in-text citations and a final reference list (in Harvard style), ensuring each piece of data or claim is backed by recent (≤5 years old) academic sources.

Assessment Criterion: Must show deep analysis, understanding of the contemporary issue, use of current data, robust referencing, and effective time management.

Part 2: Literature Review (Report) — 75% of Total Grade
Topic Link: The same issue was explored in Part 1.
Word Limit: Maximum 5,000 words, excluding references.
Focus: A critical literature review addressing relevant academic scientific research published in the last 5 years.

Structure:
Introduction
Clarify the contemporary healthcare issue, its relevance, and the specific research questions or problem statements you aim to address.

Theoretical/Conceptual Background
Define key terms.
Summarize important theoretical frameworks or models relevant to the issue (e.g., organizational change, strategy, leadership, digital transformation, mental health, etc.).

Critical Review of Literature
Group sources thematically or methodologically (not simply listing each source in isolation).
Compare, contrast, and critique different findings, highlighting strengths, limitations, gaps, and controversies.
All claims must be supported with references.

Discussion
Synthesize the reviewed material, showing how the literature answers (or fails to answer) key questions.
Identify specific gaps or unresolved areas.
Recommendations for Practice and Future Research
Propose how healthcare organizations or leaders can address the issue based on evidence.
Suggest avenues for further investigation grounded in the identified gaps.

Conclusion
Recap how this literature review advances our understanding of the issue.
Highlight implications for healthcare practice, policy, or DBA-level research.

Reference List
Must follow Harvard style meticulously.
Only include sources cited in the review.

Style & Rigor:
Third voice academic, scientific Doctoral-Level Argumentation: Every paragraph should present an argument or critique—avoid pure description.
Citations: Harvard style (author, year). If you use direct quotations, include page numbers.

Academic Sources:
No older than 5 years (unless critically needed for a seminal theory) from peer-reviewed journals, credible academic publishers, or authoritative industry/government reports.

Originality: Turnitin score must be under 5% (excluding references). No AI-generated text. Thoroughly paraphrase and credit sources.

General Requirements
Academic Level: Must reflect Level 10 (PhD-level) writing—critical, argumentative, data-driven, and theoretically informed.
Coherence & Linkage: Part 1 and Part 2 must be clearly connected (same topic, complementary arguments).
Harvard Referencing: strict compliance, both in-text and in the final reference list.
Recent Literature: Focus on high-quality, peer-reviewed academic literature from the past 5 years.
No AI Text and a Turnitin Similarity <5%.
Professional Presentation: Proofread thoroughly; well-structured headings and subheadings; polished style.

Use of Course Materials
I will provide the module’s PowerPoint slides and instructions. Please review them to incorporate relevant theories, frameworks, and best practices (e.g., Lewin’s or Kotter’s change models, strategic leadership, organizational culture, and mental health approaches).

Deliverables & Format
Part 1: Slides (e.g., PowerPoint) suitable for a 25-minute presentation (including an interactive element).

Part 2: Literature Review max 5,000 words excluding references list, demonstrating comprehensive research, critical argumentation, and academic precision.
Quality & Timing
The final work must reflect an advanced academic tone, clarity, coherence, and credible referencing.
Each section should be argumentative and evidence-based.
