You’ve become a trusted resource for your selected organization, and they’ve asked your advice on having a competitive advantage in the field.

As you’ve learned throughout this course, organizations are constantly changing. Whether the change is in its strategies, structure, culture, demographics, or technology, it is important for business leaders to understand the effect these changes have on the organization, its business strategies, and organizational structure. The demographics of the organization influence some of these changes. Marketing and sales managers are very interested in the demographics of the organization’s customers and potential customers’ needs and desires. HR managers are interested in the demographics of employees because this knowledge can help recruit and retain appropriate employees. IT and general managers want and need the organization to be current with technology so the organization can remain competitive and relevant in the industry.

Consumer choice becomes crucial when seeking specialized medical treatments that may not be available in their home country.

Post 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member. Be constructive and professional
THIS IS WHAT A CLASS MATE WROTE:
Consumer choice becomes crucial when seeking specialized medical treatments that may not be available in their home country. Medical tourists actively look for destinations with reputable specialists and advanced facilities that can cater to their specific health needs. The quality of medical care, including the reputation of healthcare providers, accreditation of facilities, and success rates in specific treatments, is a paramount consideration. Medical tourists often seek destinations that have high standards of healthcare. Social media platforms provide a space for customers to leave feedback and reviews. Positive reviews and testimonials can enhance the reputation of a medical tourism provider, while negative reviews provide an opportunity for the provider to address concerns and demonstrate transparency. Providers actively involving patients in their healthcare decisions, treatment planning, and post-treatment care are likely to have higher customer involvement. Educational resources, consultation sessions, and transparent communication contribute to patient engagement. However, distance and limited face-to-face interactions can challenge maintaining continuous customer involvement. Telemedicine, online consultations, and digital communication tools can help bridge this gap. In healthcare, involving patients in treatment decisions results in better outcomes and patient satisfaction. Active customer involvement is crucial in medical tourism, where patients often have to make significant decisions about their health and travel. Medical tourists actively involved in their healthcare decisions are more likely to make informed choices. Providers that facilitate patient education encourage questions and include patients in the decision-making process, contributing to a sense of empowerment and impacting the decision-making process positively.
