A. Trends Healthcare is in a period of dramatic change with trends causing an impact on the cost, access, and quality of the national healthcare in this country. Healthcare costs prevailed through the past three decades and made employers take control over costs. Hospital competition increased with insurance, which caused hospitals to take action wherever they could to reduce costs.

Nevertheless, most entrepreneurs’ efforts in changing organizations have failed to achieve the expected outcomes in terms of revenue growth, cost reduction, productivity and employees’ commitment” (Marks, 2006). “Although the failure of organizational changes is attributed by several various elements, Seo et al (2012) suggested that the human factor, particularly leaders, plays the most significant role in delivering the effectiveness of organizational change.

David Zhang Ms. Khan ENG3U1-08 25 March 2012 Oryx and Crake: Climate Change Climate change is a tough subject for humans to deal with; ever since the Industrial Revolution, our dramatically increased consumption of energy over the century has brought about immense consequences.
