Your assignment consists of two parts: · Part A, a problem-solving case study; and · Part B, a micro-credential (an alternative is provided for students who are offshore).  PART A: PROBLEM-SOLVING CASE STUDY (FOR ALL STUDENTS) THE SITUATION The year is 2035 and you are the senior policy advisor in the State Government Department for Jobs, Precincts, and Regions. This department is responsible for jobs and innovation within the state. You have worked your way up to this position, having successfully completed formal management studies that have developed your analytical and critical thinking skills. Among other responsibilities, the Department you serve runs employment programs and is responsible for developing creative solutions that stimulate economic growth. A global pandemic is again sweeping the world. The situation is volatile and changing every hour. The Head of the Department of Jobs, Precincts, and Regions, which is the Department where you work, has been asked by the Premier’s office to staff and manage a quarantine program for travellers returning from overseas. This is a complex task. It involves the recruitment, training, and management of the quarantine program, but the program must also be managed in accordance with official public health advice. The Department of Health is therefore a key stakeholder, yet the operational boundaries of your department and the Department of Health are separate. Successfully managing the quarantine program also involves working closely with border control, which has responsibility for incoming overseas travellers. Yet, border control is a Federal responsibility; again, the operational boundaries of your department and border control are separate. Moreover, Trades Hall (an affiliation of 40 unions), while supporting the government’s slowing down of the economy to date, are pressing the case that only unionised firms be employed to provide quarantine services, and is particularly concerned with the idea of the Government hiring private security firms, which have a reputation for labour law violations and sham contracting. Yet, the Head of the Department, whom you are to advise, is attracted to a mix of providers, some unionised, some non-unionised. While this is a crisis situation, it also presents opportunities. The Head of the Department has connections with job service agencies (agencies that place unemployed people into work) that focus on supporting disadvantaged unemployed people; the Head is keen to provide employment opportunities to organisations that provided supported employment opportunities to disadvantaged workers. YOUR TASK This complex situation has clear parallels with events that took place in 2020, when Covid-19 swept the globe. As the senior policy advisor in the Department responsible for jobs and innovation, the Head of the Department has asked you to research and learn from the events in 2020, in particular the hotel quarantine inquiry. With the above case in mind: Research the 2020 Covid-19 hotel quarantine inquiry (see the resources provided at the end of the assignment). Theoretically analyse the problem by drawing on the neo-humanist perspective, the radical structuralist perspective, and at least one concept / theory discussed between Weeks 6 to 11. Develop theoretically-informed reflections on key organisational errors that were made setting up the quarantine program in 2020 (Devote approximately 25% of your effort and words to this portion of your report). Develop a set of theoretically-informed principles to guide decisions and action by drawing on the neo-humanist perspective, the radical structuralist perspective, and at least one concept / theory discussed between Weeks 6 to 11. This concept / theory may be the same as that which you have used for point 1. These principles must be explicit in your brief to the Head of the Department. (Devote approximately 25% of your effort and words to this portion of your report. Principles are fundamental, guiding rules for action. For example, a principle informed by neo-humanism, might be: “Maximal communication and critique of ideas across groups and boundaries is critical”. A decision-making principle informed by radical structuralism might be: “Opportunities to advance the interests of workers must be seized”. Identify the implications of your principles and provide advice for action. For example, an implication of the principle “Maximal communication and critique of ideas across groups and boundaries is critical” might be, “it is vital that cross-team and departmental collaboration be facilitated; this may make it challenging to make quick decisions, and further thought must be given to this”. (Devote approximately 25% of your effort and words to this portion of your report) Reflect on the limitations of your advice. Your reflections will display an awareness of the limitations of the neo-humanist and radical structuralist perspectives. You may introduce the paradigms of functionalism and social relativism, here, to aid your reflection, if you wish. Your reflections will also be guided by at least one concept / theory discussed between Weeks 6 to 11. The limitations of your advice must be explicit in your brief to the Head of the Department. (Devote approximately 25% of your effort and words to this portion of your report) OTHER INFORMATION There is no template for this assignment, but you may use the bullet points above as a guide, including for your wordcount distribution. It is time to learn to work with ambiguity and find a way to professionally express your ideas in a coherent form. Organisations will not always provide a template for you. If you can structure your own report, this will stand you in good stead for times when you will be asked to share your views without guidance or precedents.

Abstract
COVID 19 outbreak affected all the countries in the world the government authorities used different methods and strategies for managing the issues related to the spread of the virus. The government officials started the lockdown approach as well as they used the quarantine strategy. We know the fact for controlling the spread of the virus we have to provide information to the people also the government au
thorities use infrastructural facilities for protecting the people. The state department has to implement productive strategies and plans for improving the healthcare of the people. Most of the government agencies are arranging the quarantine program for travellers returning from overseas. For providing the quarantine programs, the government has to spend more time moreover they required skilled and competent staff to manage the people who are in quarantine (Zhu et al 2020,p.32). In this research paper, we are analysing the various aspects related to hotel quarantine program. We are also critically evaluating the theories related to the application of quarantine programs. 
                For managing the problem due to the COVID outbreak and for implementing the quarantine program, we required the support of the top officials and employees. While analyzing the case, we can understand that the organization is facing different problems and for managing the problems and for utilizing the resources fruitfully we have to consider the different theories and practices. Due to COVID outbreak, most of the government failed to implement an integrated action and it created different problems. Hotel quarantine programs can be called as an effective way of reducing the threat, but we have to manage the internal and external issues that are influencing the hotel quarantine program (Hong et al 2020,p.31).
Develop theoretically-informed reflections on key organizational errors
From the case study, it is clear that the government is organization is facing serious issues and problems. For implementing the program, we have to identify an effective way of removing the barriers. First issue in selecting the private parties in protecting the people. We know the fact that they are unionised, some non-unionised firms are there. While selecting the firms the department has to face some problems. Radical structuralist perspective, clearly states that for making changes to the current system we have to empower the individuals and theory also states that the origin of every health problems lies in structural issues. As the senior policy advisor in the Department responsible for jobs and innovation, I have to make changes in the current structure and it helps for improving the connection between the government and people (Zhu et al 2020,p.232). The major issues related to current system lack of effective facilities for accommodating the overseas travellers.
The facilities of healthcare centres are playing a major role in offering quality service, care, speed up recovery time as well as patient satisfaction. Facility Management in health care centres has to concentrate on continuous obedience as well as constant promptness. The facility management should maintain the facilities of health care centres based on standards and guideline (Coversation.com 2020). It ensures the physical environment is adequate for offering good service to the patients and working for the healthcare staff. A-American S-Society of H-Healthcare E-Engineers (ASHE) recommends standards for facility management. The facilities offered by health centres decide the quality of service received by patients. The facility, as well as system information, depends on designing, construction and continuous maintenance activities (Jiang et al 2020,p.20). These tasks are part of the facility life cycle. The designing of a facility depends upon the standard and polices. As the senior policy advisor in the Department responsible for jobs and innovation, I have to make drastic changes in facilities provided to the people for managing the issues related to the spread of the virus. While analyzing the case study we can also understand that the organization is also facing problem-related with lack of information. Information can be called as a valuable asset for every company, the success of the company depends upon the effective management of information by using different methods. With the help of knowledge management systems and models, the government can provide flexible services to the customers in a productive way. The knowledge management systems are highly useful to the company to integrate the new technologies effectively. Knowledge management can be called as a process which collects, distribute and use the information and knowledge for improving the performance of the organization (Vale et al 2020). The modern management guru Peter F Drucker (2000) stated that KM mainly deals with the organizational resources and knowledge for developing a sustainable competitive advantage for the organization. According to the words of Davenport & Prusak (2000), KM mainly deals with tacit and explicit knowledge for improving the performance of employees and organization.
Medical error poses a severe challenge for the patient lives in the health care industry. Patient security is the foremost factor in health care, with the help of a knowledge management system we can able to protect the life of the people. The knowledge management system is an interactive software system. The system implemented on this concept of the expert system. The system provides support as well...
