A Study On The Efficacy Of The Medicare Bundled Payments For Care Improvement Initiative At A Large Community Hospital In The Southeast United States, Elizabeth E. Kerns

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In 2013, Medicare launched the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) Initiative which linked payments for multiple services for a complete episode of patient care. With this innovative reimbursement model, hospitals accepted fixed target payments for certain types of clinical diagnoses that were intended to support better care coordination and better outcomes for patients at lower cost to Medicare. This was one of many programs aimed at addressing the serious challenges facing United States healthcare, including costs that are skyrocketing to unsustainable levels and lack of coordination of care across venues.

Preliminary Medicare results showed that bundled payments might lead …

Toward A Systemic Model For Governance And Strategic Management: Evaluating Stakeholder Theory Versus Shareholder Theory Approaches, James A. Stikeleather

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The research’s intent is improvement in governance and strategic management initially by comparing Shareholder Theory and Stakeholder Theory and making results useful for both Practitioner and Academic audiences. A conceptual model for how a society establishes and evolves the roles it legitimizes for a business to support reasoning about those roles and the process originating the expectations, responsibilities, obligations, contributions and freedom to act in the roles is proposed. Understanding this process would enable better governance and strategic management of a firm while avoiding unintended consequences when fulfilling the role and consequences for failing the role. The model becomes a …

Overcoming Institutional Challenges To Building The Pipeline Of Women And Girl Leaders, Jennifer Martineau, Abeer A. Alharbi, Cathleen E. Clerkin, Regina Eckert, Susan R. Madsen

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

More and better leadership, quickly. These five words say it all, but how? Answers are complex. Making the challenge more difficult is that females — 51% of the world’s population — still fill only a small percentage of executive leadership positions. The intent of this session is to uncover the institutional barriers and opportunities for girls and women in leadership. Panelists from four countries will illustrate, drawing from research and practice, the ways in which institutions act to narrow the pipeline of women moving into leadership roles and — more importantly — will emphasize opportunities to broaden and fill this …

Reexamination Of The Relationship Between Institutional Ownership Horizon And Corporate Social Responsibility, Otgontsetseg Erhemjamts, Kershen Huang

HCBE Faculty Presentations

Institutional investors are increasingly short-term in their orientation, indicated by the record-short periods of time stocks are being held, rise of high-frequency trading, shortening average CEO tenures, and disproportionate Wall Street focus on quarterly earnings. While the increasing prevalence of short-termism has gained the attention of global forums and policy makers, the case for the long-term investment among institutional investors is far from settled in the academic community. Just like classic agency and stakeholder theories offer opposite views, empirical research on the relationship between institutional ownership and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has produced fragmented and contradictory results. Our paper seeks …
