This assignment will provide you an opportunity to examine the impact of effective management on the overall
success of an organization.
You will need to utilize resources available through the library and other sources
(including the internet) to obtain information.
You will be required to examine an organization from a variety
of points of view with a focus on its leadership, management style, ethics commitment, strategies and strategy
execution.
In your paper you should discuss and identify as many Principles of Management concepts as
possible.
Conclusions should be drawn regarding the effectiveness of the use of the broad range of management
tools and their impact on the success of the company.
In class you will present the summation of your paper as

Introduction:
It has been a belief for many years that the long-term success of an organization is based largely on the quality
of its management.
Much has been written about the “Search for Excellence,” “The Quest for Quality,” “The
Sustainable Competitive Advantage.”
All this research and all the studies of the “100 Best Companies,” have
eventually focused on the importance of the quality of management.
Nothing seems to have a greater impact on
the financial returns, shareholder value or employee satisfaction than the quality of the organization’s
management.
Your challenge is to select a company you can examine from the variety of perspectives covered in this course.
Most specifically, these include
POLC
, Planning, Organizing, Leading, and Controlling.
You will examine the
company you select utilizing a variety of research sources: business publications, the company’s own external
and internal communications, the mass media, etc.
Directions:
Select a publicly traded US company. Companies in the Fortune 500 are strongly suggested. Ideally select a
company that has had new management since 2000.
Research the top management of the organization and
detail the strategies that they advocated to help grow the company. As many companies had problems starting
around 2008 – 2010 which led to lay-offs and retrenchment, that may be a good period to focus on how
management helped move the company through those difficult economic years. Examine the critical issues that
the organization faced, and detail the strategies employed to mitigate them.
All top managers are not
successful.
If the company you choose employed strategies that failed, detail the failure and add analysis as to
why it failed and what may have been done to foster success.
Items that should be discussed with your selected company include:
o
Mission and Vision
o
Values and Ethics
o
Organization structure and culture
o
Leadership style and motivational style

NAME:_________________
Please respond to the following questions in essay format
1. A manufacturing company making small doll parts for a toy manufacturer is having difficulty getting their parts completed on time and the toy manufacturer is threatening to take their business to a competitor. The small parts company has had turnover lately and has needed to train new employees; this has been due to a freeze on wages as the manufacturing costs have increased. The wage freeze has caused longer term, well trained employees to leave the company in pursuit of companies hiring with higher wages. The company has old and outdated equipment and it is questionable whether the equipment is always safe to operate. The company has always manufactured very good parts, but lately has had some minor recalls due to some manufacturing mess ups.
You are one of a team of executive decision-makers trying to keep the business going and keep your customers satisfied. Using the above case scenario, please describe your approach to solving this situation using decision-making theory, motivational theory, goal setting theory, negotiating theory, and leadership theory.
2. You are working in a small accounting firm and have been there for 5 years. Two years ago, the firm hired a young man who had interned there as a student and it seemed, at the time, that he was a motivated, collaborative type of guy. Lately, though you have noticed that he is often sending emails to the managers about the work he is doing individually and not sharing all the work that the team as a whole has contributed that actually makes his individual work possible. Recently, you both were working with the same client as a team regarding some accounting issue that needed to be solved. You collaboratively came up with a solution and he emailed the client the solution. The client was thrilled and emailed your boss sharing how great the firm is and specifically mentioning this particular employee and not mentioning you or your contribution to this solution. You decide to talk to your colleague.
Describe the Social Information Processing Model and apply it to the above case as if you were EACH of the two people involved in the situation (what is each person’s perspective?):
· What is each person’s initial response based on the model?
· What will your action be and what principles of the model are you using?
3. You have been asked to work on a project with a team that is a cross-functional and cross-divisional team from the company, meaning that there are all levels being represented, high level managers to front line staff. You have been asked to facilitate the meetings and make sure that all opinions are being considered when the team finally makes its recommendations to the CEO. The following is a typical sample of the meeting that you just attended:

Overall CommentsGood continuation from your first Assessment Kh.docxkarlhennesey
Overall Comments:
Good continuation from your first Assessment Khanh. This paper is moving towards a nicely structured, organized and written paper, with details and supporting examples.
Nice job in further clarifying the issues regarding hiring in a multicultural environment. Critical for this paper is to fulfill the key ambition of this Assignment--to Analyze, to Apply and to Assess! Examples and specifics help a lot. So would the use of key insights from your research. More readings and secondary research add depth. Most important was the connection back to the ethical dilemma/issue. It would be helpful to precede the review of the dilemma with a definition of the criteria for determining a dilemma.
Nice job identifying (room for more analysis, compare and contrasting) some of the five most common theoretical approaches (Justice/Fairness, Universalism, Utilitarianism, Rights and Virtue Ethics). I wish you had discussed more on Rawl's Theory of Justice. This was critical, especially to set the context early in the paper. And of course, you concluded, like others, I think, that none are perfect and that it is important to consider the "practical consequences" resulting from key actions. And yes, while there are a lot of similarities there are some key differences. As you implied, each situation is different too, lending itself often, to a different approach. Most important was your review of the different approaches, application of a Step Model and your rationale for reviewing and applying the different Approaches. Now I wonder which one, leads the ethical decision making--Fairness supported by Utilitarian Approach thinking or something different?!?
As with most papers it is helpful to see clear organization, with a beginning, middle and end. You could work on this in the second half of your paper. For example, generically speaking, an Introduction clarifying what will follow, Background for context, the Discussion and a Summary and/or Conclusion. These beginning and ending sections help a lot and should be sub-titled!
In summary your paper is succinct (too much so at times) and to the point--yet includes some helpful background and context. It is important to exhibit a clear progression from discussion to analysis to new insights. Moving from data acquisition to information to knowledge building to insightful wisdom continues to be important for the learning process this Term.

Development and Change
Description of the organization
Multiplex organization is one organization I would like to be employed in, especially in the future. Specific reasons contributeto my desire of working in such an organization. Multiplex organization deals with the recruitment of persons into different sectors of the market. The main aim is to link job seekers with employment opportunities, for the sake of improvement of basic standards of living and life in general. This is a unique venture, considering that the organization makes maximum profits and that at the same time, gives back to the community. Multiplex organization has branches in more than 20 countries, with more than 2000 employees in different branches. The concern and embracement of maximum corporate social responsibility is what has led to its formation and development.
To a large extent, the company benefits the community, through provision of job opportunities to the members and the surrounding environment as well. Multiplex organization values its employees, and also, gives credit to the recommended workers in different institutions. Recruitments and evaluations are however, first performed by the agency for quality verification purposes.
This shows how much good public image is desired by the organization (Jane, 2013).
Effectiveness in management and personnel interactions is highly emphasized on, for the purpose of profitability and competitive advantage. One major problem is experienced at multiplex, which should .

Professional Scenarios
1. Saban is a top performing industrial equipment salesperson for D2D. After three years of working
with his best client, he receives a text message from Pat (his direct manager) assigning him to a
completely different account.
Pat has received complaints that Saban gets all of the good clients and is not a “team player.”
Saban responds to the message and asks for a meeting with Pat to discuss this change. Pat responds
with another text message that reads: “Decision final. Everyone needs to get a chance to work with the
best accounts so it is fair. Come by the office and pick up your new files.”
Moments later, Saban sends a text message to Karen, his regional manager and Pat’s boss. It simply
reads, “We need to talk.”
2. Amber, Savannah, and Stephen work for Knowledge, Inc. (a consulting company). While on a
conference call with Tim Rice Photography (an established client), the group discusses potential
problems with a marketing campaign. Tim Rice, lead photographer and owner of Tim Rice
Photography, is insistent the marketing is working and changes are not needed.
Amber reaches over to put Tim on “Mute” but accidently pushes a different button. She immediately
says to Savannah and Stephen that the marketing campaign is not working and that “…Tim should
stick to taking pretty pictures.”
Tim responds, “You know I can hear you, right?”
3. James shows up to work approximately five minutes late this morning, walks silently (but quickly)
down the hallway and begins to punch in at the time clock located by the front desk.
Sarah, the front desk manager, says, "Good morning, James," but James ignores her, punches in, and
heads into the shop to his workplace. Sarah rolls her eyes, picks up the phone, and dials the on-duty
manager to alert her that James just arrived and should be reaching his desk any moment.
4. Paul works for the website division of SuperMega retail company. He receives an email late Friday
afternoon that explains a new computer will launch at the end of next June and it will be in high demand
with limited stock. Also contained in the three-page-message is that customers will be able to preorder
the item 30 days before launch according to the production company. Paul is asked to create a landing
page for consumers who are interested in learning more about the product.
By mistake, Paul sets up a preorder page for the product that afternoon (well in advance of the
company authorized period) and late Friday evening consumers begin to preorder the product. Sharon,
Vice President of Product Sales at SuperMega, learns of the error Saturday morning and calls Paul to
arrange a meeting first thing Monday morning. Sharon explains to Paul on the phone that the company
intends on canceling all of the preorders and Paul responds that the company should honor the
preorders because it was not a consumer error. After a heated exchange, Paul hangs up on Sharon
when she insist.

The modern business environment has become very complex, competitive and dynamic. An organization has to keep scanning the environment to see what it can do differently so as to increase its productivity. Management problems have been around from time immemorial, but their impact on the performance of the organization cannot be ignored. These challenges, then, have to be sorted out in the most effective way possible so as to mitigate their effects on the organization. Some of these problems include transparency, human resources challenges and change management. In this research paper, we are going to focus on human resource challenges experienced at MTS Systems, evaluate their effect on the company performance and measures that can be put in place to mitigate the effects of this challenge.
One of the biggest challenge in the workplace today is retention of skilled and talented workers. The way the workforce is constituted today, there is a need for more than a good salary to keep the talented people motivated and satisfied. It has been observed that employees move and job-hop as they seek to move up the ladder at the shortest time possible and also in an attempt to meet their expectations and motivations which are ever-changing and dynamic. The situation has been compounded by the generational difference in the company where there are older generations and the millennial, who are driven, motivated and simulated by different factors. For instance, the older generations are much more loyal to the place of work and are less likely to job-hop. They are also more patient and are much more responsive to financial rewards. On the other hand, the younger generations are less loyal to the company they work for, are less patient and will respond better to recognition as well as feeling valued.
Today, managers have woken up to the realization that their skilled staff has more options on their hands, especially now that there are more advances in technology, given the explosion in startup and entrepreneurs who are revolutionizing the way things are done. Managers have to evaluate the hunger in the workplace and focus on feeding it (Bondarouk & Ruel, 2009). There is need to focus on much more than just providing a potential opportunity for promotion and job security. Managers should focus on working with the other members of top management in order to define roles, come up with career progression paths that are extensive, enhancing creativity in the workplace, enhancing the working environment, encouraging a culture of collaboration and providing a system-wide mission that will be adopted by employees in their daily operations.
Management of human resources extends even to the communication amongst the different generations that are found within the workspace in the organization. A youn ...

Observation Paper
Observation Paper for Equity Management
Taihessa Lee
Organizational Leadership
Professor Stephen D. Griffin
June 30, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to describe the observable aspects of my current organization’s culture. I will address my perceptions using the following three viewpoints: vision, mission and core values. I am currently employed at Equity Management Corporation, which is a leading third party management company throughout the property management industry. It is a highly competitive organization that works on creating opportunity for their employees and managing with integrity. On the grounds that I work for Equity Management I know first-hand the extent they will go to meet their expectation out of every department and one thing they will always strive to be number one in the housing market. The greater part of these things are expressed inside Equity Management’s vision and mission statement. Their vision and mission are similar as it precisely what the company does and how it plans to develop.
The Mission: Managing with integrity. The Vision: Creating opportunity. The Core Values: will focus on the heart of our company. There are many other parts of Equity. Leasing Agents are the face of Equity. Property Managers are the arms of Equity. Regional Directors represent the head of Equity. But it takes one fundamental body part to keep all this going- the heart. Ultimately, the heart has to beat to make the parts all function together. The heart is where love, care and concern reside evidenced by our commitment to the job, one another and the people we serve. As Equity pays attention to the condition of our personal and corporate heart they can experience a deeper commitment to our everyday activities. The owner’s vision is to improve the heart of Equity in a deeper way. The owner realizes that our hearts inspire us to be our best, and create loyalty in ourselves. Becoming #1 in the industry means being financially strong and growing. But being #1 is also found in a company filled with loyal employees with high integrity, stellar performance while showing you care. I have witnessed this in my current employment with Equity.
Working at the corporate office was hard for me at times because of how clan culture the company is however it likewise has numerous motivating forces as well. I started my employment with Equity Management three years prior. This employment has been assisting me to develop passionately and also professionally. They are showing me to strive to be passionately and the best constantly. The major lesson I am learning while at Equity Management is their Core Values which is the heart of an employee to keep it functioning properly.
A great deal can be learned about an organization by analyzing and exploring the various aspects of organizational observation. My observation of Equity’s leadership and organizational culture would be healthy organization culture. .

Post

Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Rita
Rita is a 22-year-old, heterosexual, Latina female working in the hospitality industry at a resort. She is the youngest of five children and lives at home with her parents. Rita has dated in the past but never developed a serious relationship. She is close to her immediate and extended family as well as to her female friends in the Latino community. Although her parents and three of her siblings were born in the Dominican Republic, Rita was born in the United States.
A year ago, Rita was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance of a male coworker. Rita and a female coworker met Juan and Bob after work at a local bar for a light meal and a few drinks. Because Rita had to get up early to work her shift the next day, Bob offered to drive her home. Instead of taking Rita directly home, however, he drove to a desolate spot nearby and assaulted her. Afterward, Bob threatened to harm her family if she did not remain silent and proceeded to drive her home. Although Rita did not tell her family what happened, she did call our agency hotline the next day to discuss her options. Because Rita’s assault occurred within the 5-day window for forensic evidence collection of this kind, Rita consented to activation of the county’s sexual assault response team (SART). Although she agreed to have an advocate and the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) meet her at the hospital, Rita tearfully stated that she did not want to file a police report at that time because she did not want to upset her family. The nurse examiner interviewed Rita, collected evidence, recorded any injuries, administered antibiotics for possible sexually transmitted infections, and gave Rita emergency contraception in case of pregnancy. The advocate stayed with Rita during the procedure, supporting her and validating her experience, and gave her a referral for individual crisis counseling at our agency.
My treatment goals for Rita included alleviation of rape trauma syndrome symptoms that included shame and self-blame, validation of self-worth and empowerment, and processing how it would feel to discl.
According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition si.docxaryan532920
According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition since people began to live in groups.

In this assignment, you will explore different types of criminal conduct and the goals of criminal law.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
Determine whether or not the Ex Post Facto Clause can be used as a defense to prohibit the increase in federal minimum/mandatory sentencing guidelines after a federal defendant has committed the crime. Provide a rationale to support your position.
Explain the distinction between criminal, tort, and moral wrongs. Next, support or criticize the premise that the standards set by moral laws are higher than those set by criminal law.
Identify and discuss the differences between solicitation of another to commit a crime and a conspiracy to commit a crime. Next, support or criticize the use of the unilateral approach to conspiracy convictions.
Identify the four (4) goals of criminal law, and discuss the manner in which these four goals effectuate the purpose of protecting the public and preventing the conviction of innocent persons.

According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5 Eng.docxaryan532920
According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice:
Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation.
Walden’s MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to:
Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents.
Demonstrate critical thinking skills that can be used to inform policymakers and influence policies that impact clients/constituents and services.
This assignment is intended to help students demonstrate the behavioral components of this competency in their field education.
To prepare
: Working with your field instructor, identify a social problem that is common among the organization (or its clients) and research current policies at that state and federal levels that impact the social problem. Then, from a position of advocacy, identify methods to address the social problem (i.e., how you, as a social worker, and the agency advocate to change the problem). You are expected to specifically address how both you and the agency can effectively engage policy makers to make them aware of the social problem and the impact that the policies have on the agency and clients.
The Assignment (2-3 pages): Social Problems is Ex-cons finding Jobs Opportunities in State of California. The Agency is Called "Manifest" the website is Manifest.org
Identify the social problem
Explain rational for selecting social problem
Describe state and federal policies that impact the social problem
Identify specific methods to address the social problems
Explain how the agency and student can advocate to change the social problem
You are expected to present and discuss this assignment with your agency Field Instructor. Your field instructor will be evaluating your ability to demonstrate this competency in their field evaluation. In addition, you will submit this assignment for classroom credit. The Field Liaison will grade the assignment “PASS/FAIL,” see rubric for passing criteria.

Overall Comments:
Good continuation from your first Assessment Khanh. This paper is moving towards a nicely structured, organized and written paper, with details and supporting examples.
Nice job in further clarifying the issues regarding hiring in a multicultural environment. Critical for this paper is to fulfill the key ambition of this Assignment--to Analyze, to Apply and to Assess! Examples and specifics help a lot. So would the use of key insights from your research. More readings and secondary research add depth. Most important was the connection back to the ethical dilemma/issue. It would be helpful to precede the review of the dilemma with a definition of the criteria for determining a dilemma.
Nice job identifying (room for more analysis, compare and contrasting) some of the five most common theoretical approaches (Justice/Fairness, Universalism, Utilitarianism, Rights and Virtue Ethics). I wish you had discussed more on Rawl's Theory of Justice. This was critical, especially to set the context early in the paper. And of course, you concluded, like others, I think, that none are perfect and that it is important to consider the "practical consequences" resulting from key actions. And yes, while there are a lot of similarities there are some key differences. As you implied, each situation is different too, lending itself often, to a different approach. Most important was your review of the different approaches, application of a Step Model and your rationale for reviewing and applying the different Approaches. Now I wonder which one, leads the ethical decision making--Fairness supported by Utilitarian Approach thinking or something different?!?
As with most papers it is helpful to see clear organization, with a beginning, middle and end. You could work on this in the second half of your paper. For example, generically speaking, an Introduction clarifying what will follow, Background for context, the Discussion and a Summary and/or Conclusion. These beginning and ending sections help a lot and should be sub-titled!
In summary your paper is succinct (too much so at times) and to the point--yet includes some helpful background and context. It is important to exhibit a clear progression from discussion to analysis to new insights. Moving from data acquisition to information to knowledge building to insightful wisdom continues to be important for the learning process this Term.

The modern business environment has become very complex, competitive and dynamic. An organization has to keep scanning the environment to see what it can do differently so as to increase its productivity. Management problems have been around from time immemorial, but their impact on the performance of the organization cannot be ignored. These challenges, then, have to be sorted out in the most effective way possible so as to mitigate their effects on the organization. Some of these problems include transparency, human resources challenges and change management. In this research paper, we are going to focus on human resource challenges experienced at MTS Systems, evaluate their effect on the company performance and measures that can be put in place to mitigate the effects of this challenge.
One of the biggest challenge in the workplace today is retention of skilled and talented workers. The way the workforce is constituted today, there is a need for more than a good salary to keep the talented people motivated and satisfied. It has been observed that employees move and job-hop as they seek to move up the ladder at the shortest time possible and also in an attempt to meet their expectations and motivations which are ever-changing and dynamic. The situation has been compounded by the generational difference in the company where there are older generations and the millennial, who are driven, motivated and simulated by different factors. For instance, the older generations are much more loyal to the place of work and are less likely to job-hop. They are also more patient and are much more responsive to financial rewards. On the other hand, the younger generations are less loyal to the company they work for, are less patient and will respond better to recognition as well as feeling valued.
Today, managers have woken up to the realization that their skilled staff has more options on their hands, especially now that there are more advances in technology, given the explosion in startup and entrepreneurs who are revolutionizing the way things are done. Managers have to evaluate the hunger in the workplace and focus on feeding it (Bondarouk & Ruel, 2009). There is need to focus on much more than just providing a potential opportunity for promotion and job security. Managers should focus on working with the other members of top management in order to define roles, come up with career progression paths that are extensive, enhancing creativity in the workplace, enhancing the working environment, encouraging a culture of collaboration and providing a system-wide mission that will be adopted by employees in their daily operations.
Management of human resources extends even to the communication amongst the different generations that are found within the workspace in the organization. A youn ...

Observation Paper
Observation Paper for Equity Management
Taihessa Lee
Organizational Leadership
Professor Stephen D. Griffin
June 30, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to describe the observable aspects of my current organization’s culture. I will address my perceptions using the following three viewpoints: vision, mission and core values. I am currently employed at Equity Management Corporation, which is a leading third party management company throughout the property management industry. It is a highly competitive organization that works on creating opportunity for their employees and managing with integrity. On the grounds that I work for Equity Management I know first-hand the extent they will go to meet their expectation out of every department and one thing they will always strive to be number one in the housing market. The greater part of these things are expressed inside Equity Management’s vision and mission statement. Their vision and mission are similar as it precisely what the company does and how it plans to develop.
The Mission: Managing with integrity. The Vision: Creating opportunity. The Core Values: will focus on the heart of our company. There are many other parts of Equity. Leasing Agents are the face of Equity. Property Managers are the arms of Equity. Regional Directors represent the head of Equity. But it takes one fundamental body part to keep all this going- the heart. Ultimately, the heart has to beat to make the parts all function together. The heart is where love, care and concern reside evidenced by our commitment to the job, one another and the people we serve. As Equity pays attention to the condition of our personal and corporate heart they can experience a deeper commitment to our everyday activities. The owner’s vision is to improve the heart of Equity in a deeper way. The owner realizes that our hearts inspire us to be our best, and create loyalty in ourselves. Becoming #1 in the industry means being financially strong and growing. But being #1 is also found in a company filled with loyal employees with high integrity, stellar performance while showing you care. I have witnessed this in my current employment with Equity.
Working at the corporate office was hard for me at times because of how clan culture the company is however it likewise has numerous motivating forces as well. I started my employment with Equity Management three years prior. This employment has been assisting me to develop passionately and also professionally. They are showing me to strive to be passionately and the best constantly. The major lesson I am learning while at Equity Management is their Core Values which is the heart of an employee to keep it functioning properly.
A great deal can be learned about an organization by analyzing and exploring the various aspects of organizational observation. My observation of Equity’s leadership and organizational culture would be healthy organization culture. .

Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Rita
Rita is a 22-year-old, heterosexual, Latina female working in the hospitality industry at a resort. She is the youngest of five children and lives at home with her parents. Rita has dated in the past but never developed a serious relationship. She is close to her immediate and extended family as well as to her female friends in the Latino community. Although her parents and three of her siblings were born in the Dominican Republic, Rita was born in the United States.
A year ago, Rita was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance of a male coworker. Rita and a female coworker met Juan and Bob after work at a local bar for a light meal and a few drinks. Because Rita had to get up early to work her shift the next day, Bob offered to drive her home. Instead of taking Rita directly home, however, he drove to a desolate spot nearby and assaulted her. Afterward, Bob threatened to harm her family if she did not remain silent and proceeded to drive her home. Although Rita did not tell her family what happened, she did call our agency hotline the next day to discuss her options. Because Rita’s assault occurred within the 5-day window for forensic evidence collection of this kind, Rita consented to activation of the county’s sexual assault response team (SART). Although she agreed to have an advocate and the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) meet her at the hospital, Rita tearfully stated that she did not want to file a police report at that time because she did not want to upset her family. The nurse examiner interviewed Rita, collected evidence, recorded any injuries, administered antibiotics for possible sexually transmitted infections, and gave Rita emergency contraception in case of pregnancy. The advocate stayed with Rita during the procedure, supporting her and validating her experience, and gave her a referral for individual crisis counseling at our agency.
My treatment goals for Rita included alleviation of rape trauma syndrome symptoms that included shame and self-blame, validation of self-worth and empowerment, and processing how it would feel to discl.
According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition si.docxaryan532920
According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition since people began to live in groups. Ancient documents indicate that conduct we now call murder, theft, or robbery was identified as criminal by civilizations that existed thousands of years ago.

According to the Council on Social Work Education, Competency 5: Engage in Policy Practice:
Social workers understand that human rights and social justice, as well as social welfare and services, are mediated by policy and its implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. Social workers understand the history and current structures of social policies and services, the role of policy in service delivery, and the role of practice in policy development. Social workers understand their role in policy development and implementation within their practice settings at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and they actively engage in policy practice to effect change within those settings. Social workers recognize and understand the historical, social, cultural, economic, organizational, environmental, and global influences that affect social policy. They are also knowledgeable about policy formulation, analysis, implementation, and evaluation.
Walden’s MSW program expects students in their specialization year to be able to:
Evaluate the implication of policies and policy change in the lives of clients/constituents.
Demonstrate critical thinking skills that can be used to inform policymakers and influence policies that impact clients/constituents and services.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Case Study: Productivity at Sanderson Soaps
8. Company Profile
Sanderson Soaps is a small, family-owned and family-operated
company based in Portland, Maine. The company was founded
in
1978 by Emily Sanderson and her husband, James, in the early
years of their marriage, with Emily as the chief executive and
James as the vice president of product development. Together,
they combined Emily’s love of fragrance and knowledge of the
cosmetics industry with James’s degrees and experience in
organic chemistry. Armed with a small business license, two
patents,
and big dreams, these company founders quickly developed a
corporate philosophy and overarching mission, a few custom
personal care products, and goals for the success of their new
venture.
For more than 35 years, Sanderson Soaps has experienced
steady growth and modest success, with very few changes in
operational philosophy or structure. As the business grew,
employees were added, with family members receiving top
priority in
the hiring process. As with many small, family-operated
businesses, positions were often created whenever a relative
expressed
an interest in working for the family business. With over $3
million in gross sales last year and more than 30 employees,
Sanderson Soaps is on the verge of becoming a much larger
enterprise, with a loyal customer base and tremendous potential.
The company currently supplies more than 200 retailers in New
England with high-quality soaps, shampoos, and other
beauty products, with 24 individual products in six product
lines. Their signature classic floral scents are Rose and Lilac,
and they
also specialize in various coastal-themed products designed to
appeal to both male and female lovers of the New England
9. shoreline. The Sandersons have long wanted to expand into
other markets and eventually have a nationwide presence but
have
lacked the knowledge and resources necessary for such
expansion. In addition, the company experienced issues with
productivity
last quarter and was barely able to fill orders. The founding
couple also wants to develop a succession plan, as they are
nearing
retirement age and have begun to experience health issues. They
realize this will require a thorough review of their staff and
structure, as well as the identification and resolution of issues
stemming from the organization’s family-oriented operational
philosophy.
While Sanderson Soaps does not have a large cash reserve, there
is sufficient room in the budget to acquire expertise
and make necessary adjustments for the long-term success of
the company. There is also room for the company to acquire
debt
for the purposes of expansion, as Sanderson Soaps currently has
no long-term debt from facilities or equipment.
Of their 32 employees, Sanderson Soaps employs 18 family
members, including the 4 Sanderson children and 5
grandchildren, as well as several spouses, cousins, and other
relatives. The company’s vice president of marketing and sales
is
Emily Sanderson’s youngest sister, Margaret. There are four
divisions at Sanderson Soaps: product development and
production,
marketing and sales, distribution, and accounting.
Chief Executive Office
Emily Sanderson (61) is both a cofounder of the organization as
10. well as its chief executive officer (CEO). For many years, she
served as both the mother of four young children and as the
company’s one-stop-shop officer, handling marketing, sales,
accounting, human resources, and all other operational
responsibilities until the company’s growth enabled her to hire
additional
employees to help with some of these tasks. Known to be a fair
but strong-willed leader, Emily has a soft spot for family. Other
than her husband and her sister, she would not appoint any other
executives to lead divisions until her children became ready to
fill those roles. She tends to make excuses for the failings of
her loved ones, but she has tried to develop them to meet the
company’s needs and to provide them with secure employment.
Recently diagnosed as being in the early stages of Parkinson’s
disease, Emily is eager to identify a successor and begin
transitioning the business before her symptoms worsen.
Throughout all the years she has worked closely with her
family, she has
tried very hard not to show favoritism or to clearly pinpoint a
successor. While she believes that was in the best interest of the
company as a whole to this point, she knows she now has a very
difficult decision to make.
Emily employs one executive assistant in her office, her niece
Allison (31). Allison is Margaret’s daughter. Allison provides
clerical support to the entire organization and serves as the
backup receptionist. She has been working in Emily’s office
since she
graduated from college, and is very familiar with the
organization and its operations at all levels. Her leadership style
is much the
11. same as Emily’s, but she is not as blind to the flaws of family
and realizes that some changes are needed to move the
organization forward.
Product Development and Production
James Sanderson (62) is both a cofounder of the organization as
well as its vice president of product development and
production. (The “and production” part of the title was added in
1983, when the company hired Margaret as well as several more
employees and needed to clarify organizational structure.) An
organic chemist with a nose for fragrance, he is adept at turning
his wife’s ideas and suggestions into quality lotions, soaps,
shampoos, and other products.
There are six employees in James’s division: two who work
with him in developing and testing new products and four
who work to produce existing product lines. His eldest
daughter, Janet (37), is considered his “right arm” in developing
new
products. A brilliant mind with a degree in organic chemistry,
Janet loves working with her father, and together they make a
very
strong team. Her younger sister, Amy (30), and Amy’s husband,
Sanjay (34), work in production along with two non-family
members. Sanjay also has a degree in organic chemistry, but his
ideas differ greatly from those of Janet and James. Not only
does
he resent being the only non-white employee at Sanderson
Soaps, but he is a fierce animal activist and disagrees with some
of
the research practices employed within the new product lab.
Arguments erupt regularly, creating a difficult environment for
all
seven employees in this division. Amy often serves as the
mediator in these disagreements but dreads confrontation with
Janet
12. and tends to agree with her husband and his views on animal
cruelty. Although her family is unaware, she is the one who let
the
rabbits out of their cages when she was in high school, creating
a major setback in production in the late 1990s.
The atmosphere of this division is tense. Absenteeism and
turnover are fairly common in the production area, creating
an additional workload for others. Janet has been torn between
her father’s views and Sanjay’s vocal opposition to company
policies and procedures, but she does not know how to deal with
the situation. Everyone recognizes Sanjay’s value to the
company, but Janet knows her father would never agree to the
changes Sanjay would want to make.
Concerned about Emily’s medical condition as well as how
much the weather in Maine has begun to bother him as he
ages, James is also interested in moving forward with the
development of plans to turn operations over to others.
Although he
wonders what will happen to the company and wants to make
sure the credibility of the Sanderson Soaps brand remains
strong,
he has never enjoyed the business side of the organization. He
ignores Sanjay and Amy, and leaves most decisions to Emily
and
Janet. James prefers to be in his lab, developing and testing new
products.
Marketing and Sales
Margaret Bennett (57) is vice president of marketing and sales
13. at Sanderson Soaps. As Emily’s sister and senior employee, she
has often been seen as the most likely successor as CEO. Emily
and James readily admit that the company never would have
grown to its current level of success without Margaret’s
expertise and ability. A master at developing and building
business
relationships, Margaret manages client relations herself
throughout six states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts,
Connecticut, and Rhode Island), traveling frequently to
maintain those relationships and create new ones. She knows
she is
considered as the most likely successor to her sister, and she
welcomes the opportunity. However, Margaret is easily
influenced
and worries that she may not be strong enough to maintain the
current direction and operational philosophy of the company
against those with very strong opinions, such as Sanjay.
Regardless, she has been training her great-nephew, Scott (20),
in sales
and marketing and has taken him with her on several trips, but
she wants Scott to go to college for a degree in marketing
before
she is willing to relinquish much responsibility to him. He is
not happy with this and has become extremely vocal about his
desire
to assume more territory and handle client relationships on his
own. Margaret has come to rely on him so much that she hates
the thought of losing him to higher education for several years,
anyway, but cannot help but think that the company would be
better served by someone with advanced marketing knowledge.
Margaret also has one other employee, a non-family member—
Rachel (28), who helps with advertising and serves as the
organization’s receptionist. Rachel does have a degree in
marketing but lacks Scott’s charm and savvy in building
14. relationships.
She has a particular knack for advertising, though, with an eye
for what appeals to the market, as well as great research skills.
A
recent analysis by Rachel revealed that 78% of Sanderson
Soaps’ market is female, between the ages of 24 and 70. The
largest
percentage of those (65%), are between the ages of 45 and 65
and have been loyal customers for many years. Also, sales
demographics and a client distribution analysis showed that
although 70% of Sanderson Soaps’ client-base resides in Maine
and
another 20% resides in Vermont, two states over. This was
unexpected, since the majority of Sanderson Soaps’ product
lines are
coastal themed.
Distribution
John Sanderson (38) is the Sandersons’ eldest son and is the
vice president of distribution. Having worked for his parents
since he
was old enough to be helpful, he believes he knows everything
about the business. John feels his success as a future CEO of the
company is secure, even if Margaret takes the reins for a few
years first. He likes that his wife and all three of their children
work
for the company, and he has hopes that Scott will take
Margaret’s place someday as the vice president of marketing
and sales. He
enjoys his current role, although he does not like dealing with
personnel issues. He employs ten staff members (six in
packaging
and four in transportation). Of the six who package products,
two are Janet’s twin sons, Ed and Andy (18), and one is a
cousin. Of
the four in transportation, one is a cousin and one is his uncle
15. Dave (James’s brother).
All ten of the employees who report to John say he is difficult
to work for, but John tells them they are just slackers and
that is why he is tough on them. He frequently complains to his
mother that they are all lazy and the reason production is falling
behind. He has caught the twins sleeping on the job twice; they
contend this is because their uncle John has them working 12-
hour shifts with no breaks. Every time John lashes out at them
for being lazy, they tamper with his food in the lunchroom,
hoping
he will get sick and leave for the day, since he never seems to
do any work anyway. Uncle Dave doesn’t stop them, because he
feels John is out of line. He has witnessed how hard the twins
work, and he knows that John complains about him too, even
though he works countless hours scheduling transportation
routes, driving trucks, and serving as the company’s mechanic
on
their three delivery trucks. Dave does damage control behind
the scenes, attempting to improve morale. He’s the only thing
that
keeps the others from walking out, but because he is not the
boss, there is only so much he can do. It’s not enough to
motivate
them to be more productive. They hate John and his bullying
attitude.
Accounting
Anthony Sanderson (33) is the company’s chief financial officer
(CFO) and has always been considered the most level-headed
and
responsible of the Sanderson sons. His role encompasses all
16. billing, bookkeeping, purchasing, mailroom, housekeeping, and
human resources (HR) functions. Anthony has a staff of eight.
This includes two in HR (one is John’s daughter), three in
billing
(one is John’s other daughter and another is John’s wife), and
three who handle purchasing, mailroom, and housekeeping
services. Only three are non-family members, but all eight of
these employees enjoy working together and for Anthony. He
has
cross-trained them all to cover for one another, and all are
willing to pitch in and do whatever needs to be done, because
they do
not want to disappoint Anthony or his parents. John’s wife, who
handled many of Anthony’s responsibilities before he became
CFO, is much happier now with Anthony in charge.
Anthony has no aspirations to become the company’s CEO; he
knows John well enough not to even think he has a shot at
that. However, he loves his parents’ company and is extremely
loyal to Sanderson Soaps. Anthony enjoys what he does, takes
pride in his staff and the work they do, and is always looking
for ways to improve. He also encourages his staff to come up
with
new ideas, and whenever one of those ideas is related to another
area, he passes it on in executive staff meetings. The other vice
presidents give those ideas due consideration and readily accept
those that are feasible; however, Anthony has learned not to
give credit to John’s wife or daughters in those meetings,
because John becomes angry with them for “overstepping their
bounds”; John believes everyone should stick to their own areas
of responsibility. The two brothers have had many heated
arguments over the years related to John’s leadership style and
treatment of the women in his household. Not wanting to cause
more trouble for John’s wife and daughters at home, Anthony
looks for other ways to make sure their ideas are heard and does
his best to let them know how much they are appreciated by the
17. company.
Anthony has also noticed high absenteeism and turnover in both
John’s area and on the production side of his father’s
area, especially amongst non-family member employees. This is
a frequent topic of discussion amongst employees in the
company’s common areas. With Emily’s encouragement,
Anthony has been working with his sister Janet and his aunt
Margaret
to develop an incentive program to encourage more ideas and
increase productivity, but has not yet figured out how to deal
with
John on this project. He has been considering working with his
uncle Dave for the distribution areas but knows that would also
cause problems and is not the right solution.
