Northwell has hired to review their situation and make recommendations.
Part 1 (900-1100 words)
As a consultant, convince Northwell upper management of what you believe are the important issues that

8. Recommendations pertaining to issues discussed in Part 1 of your paper from topics found in Chapter 4
Hints for Completing the Assignment
2000 words is not a lot of space to write about issues and recommendations. What you will need to do is choose the
most important/critical issues involved in the case. If you have room to spare, mention the other important issues, but
do no sacrifice your ability to complete the task at hand. Also, choose your words carefully. Avoid repetition unless
necessary for clarity. Pick one issue per chapter, and don’t forget that you need both short- and long-term
recommendations for each issue.
