Please read the mini case “Can You Follow an Icon and Succeed? Apple and Tim Cook after Steve Jobs and answer to the followings on page 408 of the textbook and provide an APA formatted written paper, minimum of four (4) pages (and at least six (6) peer-reviewed resources in support of your arguments) and answer the following questions:

●  Please evaluate a CEO’s job, and what makes a CEO’s job so complex? Use the challenges Tim Cook faces as Steve Jobs’ successor to provide examples that support your answer.

●  Tim Cook came from Apple’s internal managerial labor market to succeed Steve Jobs. According to your analysis, do you think that using the internal managerial labor market is the best approach to follow when replacing S. Jobs?

○  Use materials in the chapter regarding the internal and external managerial labor markets to explain your answer.

●  Given their different leadership styles of Steve Jobs and Tim Cook, describe the differences you found in Apple’s culture under Tim Cook’s leadership compared to the culture in Apple when Steve Jobs was CEO.

●  Using information in this Mini-Case as well as you found additional materials through your searches, how do you evaluate Tim Cook as a CEO?

○  Is he an effective strategic leader or not? Use examples from the chapter’s discussion of “Key Strategic Leadership Actions” to justify your answer to this question

Create a PowerPoint presentation summarizing your assessment findings and recommendations on your chosen health policy issue. You will need to provide a written transcript of your presentation; if you choose, you may also record voiceover narration to go with your PowerPoint presentation. Use the work you completed in your Module Three and Module Seven Project Two Preparation assignments, ensuring you have implemented all feedback for these assignments from your instructor, to help you complete this presentation.

You must cite at least five sources to support your claims.

Specifically, you must include the following:

1. Introduction
   1. Health Policy Issue: Describe your chosen health policy issue in a clear, concise manner. Consider the following guiding question in your response:
      • How might this health policy issue be explained to someone who has never heard of it before?
   2. Key Stakeholders and Interest Groups: Identify key stakeholders impacted by your chosen issue, as well as any interest groups that may also be affected. Consider the following guiding questions in your response:
      • Who are the people and/or groups who will be primarily affected by this issue, either positively or negatively?
      • How might vulnerable populations and underserved areas be affected by this issue?
2. Influence on Decision Making
   1. Stakeholder Needs: Summarize the needs of key stakeholders and interest groups with respect to your chosen issue. Do not include financially related needs. Consider the following guiding questions in your response:
      • What nonfinancial needs of the people and/or groups affected by the issue need to be considered, particularly for those in vulnerable populations or underserved areas?
      • Why is it important to consider these needs when making decisions regarding this issue?
   2. Health Policy Influence: Discuss the kinds of influence stakeholders and interest groups can have on health policies. Do not include any financially related influences. Consider the following guiding questions in your response:
      • Which stakeholders have significant or obvious nonfinancial influences on health policies?
      • Which stakeholders have subtle or covert nonfinancial influences on health policies?
