Using 1,800-2,000 words, write an individual research paper on the project you have chosen for Activities 1-6. and answer the following questions.

As a minimum, the research paper will include the following areas:

What is the background of your problem statement?
Why did you select the specific problem statement?
The decision to perform an acquisition is heavily influenced by how it relates to the strategic business goals of an organization. Explain why you think the acquisition you are detailing in your submitted Activities potentially supports the strategic business goals of the organization.
Risk analysis is a critical part of the acquisition process and is often not done very well. Looking back at the risks you identified for your submitted project, which ones do you believe would be most likely to be identified and accurately measured and which ones either less likely to be identified at all or measured correctly. Explain why. Does your analysis allow you to draw general conclusions on the type of risk that would be likely to be overlooked or mis-analyzed in future projects you might work on? Final Leadership in Health Care Research Paper
