RE: Finances and Budget
DATE: 2020
ISSUE
The issue is Finances. Money in the Federal, State and Local budgets,
where does it come from? Who decides how it is spent? What is it
spent on? In order to understand, research the following; Federal
Reserve, free market, state and national debt, tariffs and government
spending. How do decisions made by the government effect our
budget? Use articles from two different ideological perspectives as
proof of the effects on society.
Framework for Case Analysis (Adapted from the original document published by the UMass College of Management)
Part I – Analyzing a Case
What is this document?
You will be asked throughout your Graduate experience to analyze cases. Because there are many ways to approach cases, the CM faculty has agreed upon a framework for case analysis that you will be asked to learn in MGT 650. This framework will help you throughout your Graduate experience in thinking about cases as well as in preparing written reports.
UC Note: The SL and DEL curricula are not “case-based.” This document is intended to illustrate and explain my two-step case study assignment. My notes appear in bold blue font throughout.
What is a case?
A case is a story---usually a true story, but not always---that illustrates business and management theories and concepts you are studying in a course and/or presents a problem or series of problems for you to solve. A case usually ends with a dilemma or critical issue faced by a particular character or organization depicted in the case. Sometimes a case will be accompanied by a set of questions, usually theory-based, that your instructor expects you to answer. Some questions will be devoted to figuring out the problems imbedded in the case and the causes of those problems; others will ask you to determine a course of action to take in the future. These questions will be provided between steps one and two. More complex cases usually contain a variety of types of information, e.g. industry and economic data, financial reports, policies and procedures, market share and pricing data, descriptions of personnel and other resources, job descriptions, individual perceptions, and dialogue. Due to their complex nature, these cases demand your careful, sustained attention; indeed, each case contains subtleties that are likely to be discerned only by several re-readings and discussions with other students.
Why do professors ask students in the Graduate Programs to analyze cases?
Through the process of analyzing cases, professors believe that Graduate students can learn the value of: [1] responding actively and constructively to the conflicts of organizational life by: suspending judgment about personalities as well as about courses of action; differentiating between facts and opinions; graciously giving up an opinion if it is shown to be inadequate; integrating what one learns through discussions ...

Case Studies Guidelines
What is a Case Study:
Case studies are stories. They are formatted in such a way that at a glance one could easily determine the “issue” about to be discussed. We look to clearly address the who, what, where, when, why and how to ensure that we have covered the story in its entirety. If you miss one of these factors, you leave the reader guessing and questioning your report. In public policy & administration our case studies/stories are required to be fact based. Make sure your research is based on credible information. Verify, verify, verify. Make a mistake and/or be challenged on one of your “facts”, could create a host of issues. If you are found to be incorrect, the entire report is incorrect and your credibility is suspect. Cite your research appropriately.
We call it an issue rather than a “problem” because a problem presents a negative image/connotation. Issues are not necessarily negative and provides the policy analyst with an opportunity to evaluate each issue based on its own merits without taking a position of negative or positive.
What Does a Case Study Look Like:
A case study should set up similar to story-telling.
Do not write this as you would a thesis.
You don’t want to put in a lot of “fluff & stuff”. Think of the reader as a high level administrator whose in-box is full of documents that require review. To catch this administrator’s attention, consider what he/she would be concerned with. The “issue” clearly delineated, then the people involved “stakeholders”, the positions (where one stands depends upon where one sits), of these people/perspectives” of the stakeholders and then a fact based well thought out “recommendation”. Use the first paragraph or two to set the tone for the issue under consideration. Once you have the reader’s attention then you are prepared to move onto your 4-step policy analyses.
Why a 4-Step Policy Analysis:
We use the four-step policy analysis because of its simplicity and its thoroughness. There are plenty of other models, some with seven-steps and others with ten-steps. It is not the number of steps that makes a case study. It is the report itself that stands on merit.
Do not change the language of the 4-steps or add other language, as new headings could change the report and its intent. It is vital that you understand this foundation as it will be used throughout your baccalaureate curriculum. Learning to use this in both your professional and personal lives will help you with your decision making in a variety of ways.
How Do I Begin:
Case studies are complex and may contain a myriad of issues, stakeholders, etc. It is your job to select one issue and then to stay on course as you work through your critical thinking and 4-step policy analysis. Do not say there are “many” issues as this may confuse the reader of leave him/her questioning why you chose one issue over another. Chose one….

Kaplan University Writing Center Resource Library Case.docxDIPESH30
Kaplan University Writing Center Resource Library Case Study Analysis September 2010
This handout provides you with information about how to analyze a case
study and write up your analysis in a professional report, letter, or memo
format.
What exactly does it mean to analyze a case study? Analysis means you
look at a situation from various angles paying attention to even the smallest
details, as it is usually details that lead you to understanding a situation to
its fullest and help you make effective decisions. To analyze a case study,
follow these basic guidelines:
1. Read carefully
2. Identify major issues
3. Identify alternative courses of action
4. Recommend a course of action
5. Provide a rationale for your decision
Read Carefully
Every case study you encounter will be different. Generally, there is no set format or formula for how
these documents are written (except that, normally, they are written chronologically), so it is important
that you pay attention to all of the details. Read slowly and carefully, taking notes or annotating the
document. If appendices are included, read those carefully too, as the smallest detail can make a
difference in what you determine is the best course of action. Read tables and figures carefully, and
interpret them in relation to the information contained in the case study.
Identify Major Issues
Your main job when analyzing a case study is to learn to identify major issues of concern for you or your
company. Do not focus on minor issues (issues that have no bearing on the case, such as personal
biases or preferences), but stay focused on major issues, such as actions or decisions that affect other
people, the company’s financial bottom line, or a company’s reputation. It is important to clarify here
that details are not minor issues. Details are individual instances of action, but details can provide
evidence for how a major issue is being affected. For instance, if someone is consistently sending out
poorly written letters with misspellings and grammar errors to clients, that’s a detail; however, that
detail is evidence that the company’s reputation is at stake.
Once you identify major issues, look at how they are being presented or compromised in the case study
so that you have a basis for how to effectively deal with the situation and solve the problem. Typically,
case studies are written in chronological order, so it may take several readings to identify major issues
correctly (O’Rourke, 2007) and from various perspectives.
Analyzing a Case Study
What is a Case Study?
A case study is a narrative used to
help students practice real-life
analysis and communication skills. It
is a learning tool. It provides readers
with “enough detail…to understand
the nature and scope of the
problem, and…serve as a
springboard for discussion and
learning” (O’Rourke, 2007, p. 391).

A case study helps students learn by immersing them in a real-world business scenario where they can act as problem-solvers and decision-makers. The case presents facts about a particular organization. Students are asked to analyze the case by focusing on the most important facts and using this information to determine the opportunities and problems facing that organization. Students are then asked to identify alternative courses of action to deal with the problems they identify.

A case study analysis must not merely summarize the
case. It should identify key issues and problems, outline and
assess alternative courses of action, and draw appropriate
conclusions. The case study analysis can be broken down
into the following steps:
1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.
2. Identify the key issue or issues.
3. Specify alternative courses of action.
4. Evaluate each course of action.
5. Recommend the best course of action.
Let’s look at what each step involves.
1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.
Read the case several times to become familiar with
the information it contains. Pay attention to the infor-
mation in any accompanying exhibits, tables, or fig-
ures. Many case scenarios, as in real life, present a great
deal of detailed information. Some of these facts are
more relevant that others for problem identification.
One can assume the facts and figures in the case are
true, but statements, judgments, or decisions made by
individuals should be questioned. Underline and then
list the most important facts and figures that would
help you define the central problem or issue. If key
facts and numbers are not available, you can make
assumptions, but these assumptions should be reason-
able given the situation. The “correctness” of your con-
clusions may depend on the assumptions you make.
2. Identify the key issue or issues. Use the facts provided
by the case to identify the key issue or issues facing
the company you are studying. Many cases present
multiple issues or problems. Identify the most impor-
tant and separate them from more trivial issues. State
the major problem or challenge facing the company.
You should be able to describe the problem or chal-
lenge in one or two sentences. You should be able to
explain how this problem affects the strategy or per-
formance of the organization.
You will need to explain why the problem occurred.

A Guide to Case Analysis2
In most courses in strategic management, students use cases about actual companies to practice strategic
analysis and to gain some experience in the tasks of crafting and implementing strategy. A case sets forth, in
a factual manner, the events and organizational circumstances surrounding a particular managerial situation.
It puts readers at the scene of the action and familiarizes them with all the relevant circumstances. A case on
strategic management can concern a whole industry, a single organization, or some part of an organization;
the organization involved can be either profi t seeking or not-for-profi t. The essence of the student’s role
in case analysis is to diagnose and size up the situation described in the case and then to recommend
appropriate action steps.
Why Use Cases to Practice Strategic Management?
A student of business with tact
Absorbed many answers he lacked.
But acquiring a job,
He said with a sob,
“How does one fi t answer to fact?”
The foregoing limerick was used some years ago by Professor Charles Gragg to characterize the plight
of business students who had no exposure to cases.1 The facts are that the mere act of listening to lectures
and sound advice about managing does little for anyone’s management skills and that the accumulated
managerial wisdom cannot effectively be passed on by lectures and assigned readings alone. If anything had
been learned about the practice of management, it is that a storehouse of ready-made textbook answers does
not exist. Each managerial situation has unique aspects, requiring its own diagnosis, judgment, and tailor-
made actions. Cases provide would-be managers with a valuable way to practice wrestling with the actual
problems of actual managers in actual companies.
The case approach to strategic analysis is, fi rst and foremost, an exercise in learning by doing. Because cases
provide you with detailed information about conditions and problems of different industries and companies,
your task of analyzing company after company and situation after situation has the twin benefi t of boosting
your analytical skills and exposing you to the ways companies and mana gers actually do things. Most college
students have limited managerial backgrounds and only frag mented knowledge about companies and real-life
strategic situations. Cases help substitute for on-the-job experience by (1) giving you broader exposure to a
variety of industries, organizations, and strategic problems; (2) forcing you to assume a managerial role (as
opposed to that of just an onlooker); (3) providing a test of how to apply the tools and techniques of strategic
management; and (4) asking you to come up with pragmatic managerial action plans to deal with the issues
at hand.

This discussion will explore the quantitative approach sampling and design by analyzing a single study quantitative research article related to your specialty track. WEEK 4 - Developing New Evidence: Qualitative Research Studies Overview of the Qualitative Research Approach
Qualitative research studies phenomena in their natural settings. By using the natural settings, this design interprets phenomena in terms of the meanings that people bring to them. Qualitative research aims to get a better understanding through firsthand experience because subjects share thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Qualitative research involves the collection of a variety of empirical materials. These materials include, but are not limited to, case study, personal experience, life story, interviews, observations, historical perspectives, interactional, and visual texts. All of this information becomes data that describe routine as well as problematic moments with the meanings these moments have in individuals' lives.
Often, the qualitative approach is used as the initial research study in an area of interest because it will help to explore and define the phenomena. By gaining an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations, it provid ...

Introduction to the U.S. Legal System
Midterm Examination Checklist (Fall 2019)
Overview and Purpose: The midterm examination (exam) for GOVT/CRJU 2392 is scheduled
for Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. The exam is designed to assess your comprehension of important
concepts described in the course textbook (Banks and O’Brien), lectures, and in-class
discussions.
Procedure: The exam is closed book and closed notes: Students will not have access to any
resources during the exam session. Students must complete their own work and avoid looking at
their neighbors’ exam booklets. Communication with another student during the exam session
will be considered cheating, resulting in a failing grade and a report filed with appropriate
university authorities.
If possible, students should avoid bringing excess personal belongings to the exam session. All
cell phones must be placed in “silent” mode prior to beginning the exam, and all phones or any
other communicative devices (i.e. Apple Watches) should be stored away in students’ pockets,
backpacks, purses, etc. Similarly, all study aids must be stored away prior to beginning the
exam. Any use of devices during the exam session will be considered cheating and disciplinary
proceedings will be initiated.
Once a student begins the exam, that student will not be permitted to leave the room. If a student
leaves the room, the exam will be considered completed. All university and department policies

lecture/discussion slides emphasizes the most important, or fundamental, themes of each chapter.
While the exam will draw heavily from the lecture/discussion slides, a few exam items are designed to
assess whether students have actually read textbook chapters. This is inevitable, as our meetings do not
provide enough time to cover all legal system concepts in extreme detail. However, students should pay
particular attention to the following terms and concepts:

Women's Reproductive Rights
Women's reproductive rights are controlled in a myriad of ways through both pro-natalist and anti-natalist policies.
Pro-natalist polices prohibit use of birth control and abortion in an attempt to grow populations. Romania is a perfect example.
Anti-natalist policies put restrictions on women's ability to have children. China's one child policy is a good example of an anti-natalist policy. Women from marginalized and historically oppressed groups in many cultures are sterilized in an attempt at controlling those populations seen as undesirable. This happened so frequently to black women in the U.S., that it was called the "Mississippi Appendectomy." Latinas, Puerto Rican women and Native American Indian women were also sterilized against their will in large numbers.
Answer the following questions 2 pages
1). In Kligman's Political Demography: The Banning of Abortion in Ceacescu's Romania, how were women's bodies tied to reproduction and pro-natalism?
2). How were women's bodies policed under these policies? What did women do when abortion was criminalized?
3). How does reproduction serve as an opportunity to control women's bodies across cultures including here in the U.S.?

Kaplan University Writing Center Resource Library Case Study Analysis September 2010
This handout provides you with information about how to analyze a case
study and write up your analysis in a professional report, letter, or memo
format.
What exactly does it mean to analyze a case study? Analysis means you
look at a situation from various angles paying attention to even the smallest
details, as it is usually details that lead you to understanding a situation to
its fullest and help you make effective decisions. To analyze a case study,
follow these basic guidelines:
1. Read carefully
2. Identify major issues
3. Identify alternative courses of action
4. Recommend a course of action
5. Provide a rationale for your decision
Read Carefully
Every case study you encounter will be different. Generally, there is no set format or formula for how
these documents are written (except that, normally, they are written chronologically), so it is important
that you pay attention to all of the details. Read slowly and carefully, taking notes or annotating the
document. If appendices are included, read those carefully too, as the smallest detail can make a
difference in what you determine is the best course of action. Read tables and figures carefully, and
interpret them in relation to the information contained in the case study.
Identify Major Issues
Your main job when analyzing a case study is to learn to identify major issues of concern for you or your
company. Do not focus on minor issues (issues that have no bearing on the case, such as personal
biases or preferences), but stay focused on major issues, such as actions or decisions that affect other
people, the company’s financial bottom line, or a company’s reputation. It is important to clarify here
that details are not minor issues. Details are individual instances of action, but details can provide
evidence for how a major issue is being affected. For instance, if someone is consistently sending out
poorly written letters with misspellings and grammar errors to clients, that’s a detail; however, that
detail is evidence that the company’s reputation is at stake.
Once you identify major issues, look at how they are being presented or compromised in the case study
so that you have a basis for how to effectively deal with the situation and solve the problem. Typically,
case studies are written in chronological order, so it may take several readings to identify major issues
correctly (O’Rourke, 2007) and from various perspectives.
Analyzing a Case Study
What is a Case Study?
A case study is a narrative used to
help students practice real-life
analysis and communication skills. It
is a learning tool. It provides readers
with “enough detail…to understand
the nature and scope of the
problem, and…serve as a
springboard for discussion and
learning” (O’Rourke, 2007, p. 391).

alternative courses of action to deal with the problems they
identify.
A case study analysis must not merely summarize the
case. It should identify key issues and problems, outline and
assess alternative courses of action, and draw appropriate
conclusions. The case study analysis can be broken down
into the following steps:
1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.
2. Identify the key issue or issues.
3. Specify alternative courses of action.
4. Evaluate each course of action.
5. Recommend the best course of action.
Let’s look at what each step involves.
1. Identify the most important facts surrounding the case.
Read the case several times to become familiar with
the information it contains. Pay attention to the infor-
mation in any accompanying exhibits, tables, or fig-
ures. Many case scenarios, as in real life, present a great
deal of detailed information. Some of these facts are
more relevant that others for problem identification.
One can assume the facts and figures in the case are
true, but statements, judgments, or decisions made by
individuals should be questioned. Underline and then
list the most important facts and figures that would
help you define the central problem or issue. If key
facts and numbers are not available, you can make
assumptions, but these assumptions should be reason-
able given the situation. The “correctness” of your con-
clusions may depend on the assumptions you make.
2. Identify the key issue or issues. Use the facts provided
by the case to identify the key issue or issues facing
the company you are studying. Many cases present
multiple issues or problems. Identify the most impor-
tant and separate them from more trivial issues. State
the major problem or challenge facing the company.
You should be able to describe the problem or chal-
lenge in one or two sentences. You should be able to
explain how this problem affects the strategy or per-
formance of the organization.
You will need to explain why the problem occurred.
Does the problem or challen.

A Guide to Case Analysis2
In most courses in strategic management, students use cases about actual companies to practice strategic
analysis and to gain some experience in the tasks of crafting and implementing strategy. A case sets forth, in
a factual manner, the events and organizational circumstances surrounding a particular managerial situation.
It puts readers at the scene of the action and familiarizes them with all the relevant circumstances. A case on
strategic management can concern a whole industry, a single organization, or some part of an organization;
the organization involved can be either profi t seeking or not-for-profi t. The essence of the student’s role
in case analysis is to diagnose and size up the situation described in the case and then to recommend
appropriate action steps.
Why Use Cases to Practice Strategic Management?
A student of business with tact
Absorbed many answers he lacked.
But acquiring a job,
He said with a sob,
“How does one fi t answer to fact?”
The foregoing limerick was used some years ago by Professor Charles Gragg to characterize the plight
of business students who had no exposure to cases.1 The facts are that the mere act of listening to lectures
and sound advice about managing does little for anyone’s management skills and that the accumulated
managerial wisdom cannot effectively be passed on by lectures and assigned readings alone. If anything had
been learned about the practice of management, it is that a storehouse of ready-made textbook answers does
not exist. Each managerial situation has unique aspects, requiring its own diagnosis, judgment, and tailor-
made actions. Cases provide would-be managers with a valuable way to practice wrestling with the actual
problems of actual managers in actual companies.
The case approach to strategic analysis is, fi rst and foremost, an exercise in learning by doing. Because cases
provide you with detailed information about conditions and problems of different industries and companies,
your task of analyzing company after company and situation after situation has the twin benefi t of boosting
your analytical skills and exposing you to the ways companies and mana gers actually do things. Most college
students have limited managerial backgrounds and only frag mented knowledge about companies and real-life
strategic situations. Cases help substitute for on-the-job experience by (1) giving you broader exposure to a
variety of industries, organizations, and strategic problems; (2) forcing you to assume a managerial role (as
opposed to that of just an onlooker); (3) providing a test of how to apply the tools and techniques of strategic
management; and (4) asking you to come up with pragmatic managerial action plans to deal with the issues
at hand.

This discussion will explore the quantitative approach sampling and design by analyzing a single study quantitative research article related to your specialty track. WEEK 4 - Developing New Evidence: Qualitative Research Studies Overview of the Qualitative Research Approach
Qualitative research studies phenomena in their natural settings. By using the natural settings, this design interprets phenomena in terms of the meanings that people bring to them. Qualitative research aims to get a better understanding through firsthand experience because subjects share thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Qualitative research involves the collection of a variety of empirical materials. These materials include, but are not limited to, case study, personal experience, life story, interviews, observations, historical perspectives, interactional, and visual texts. All of this information becomes data that describe routine as well as problematic moments with the meanings these moments have in individuals' lives.
Often, the qualitative approach is used as the initial research study in an area of interest because it will help to explore and define the phenomena. By gaining an understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations, it provid ...

Midterm Examination Checklist (Fall 2019)
Overview and Purpose: The midterm examination (exam) for GOVT/CRJU 2392 is scheduled
for Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. The exam is designed to assess your comprehension of important
concepts described in the course textbook (Banks and O’Brien), lectures, and in-class
discussions.
Procedure: The exam is closed book and closed notes: Students will not have access to any
resources during the exam session. Students must complete their own work and avoid looking at
their neighbors’ exam booklets. Communication with another student during the exam session
will be considered cheating, resulting in a failing grade and a report filed with appropriate
university authorities.
If possible, students should avoid bringing excess personal belongings to the exam session. All
cell phones must be placed in “silent” mode prior to beginning the exam, and all phones or any
other communicative devices (i.e. Apple Watches) should be stored away in students’ pockets,
backpacks, purses, etc. Similarly, all study aids must be stored away prior to beginning the
exam. Any use of devices during the exam session will be considered cheating and disciplinary
proceedings will be initiated.
Once a student begins the exam, that student will not be permitted to leave the room. If a student
leaves the room, the exam will be considered completed. All university and department policies
concerning cheating and academic honesty are in full effect for the exam session.
Content: Student comprehension of the material covered will be evaluated through objective
response items (20 points; multiple choice) and four short essay prompts (40 points). In the
latter section, students will have the option of choosing from a bank of pre-selected short essay
prompts drawn from textbook and in-class discussion themes. The essays students will be
required to answer are also provided at the end of the PowerPoint slides that guide class
discussions. I am providing these questions to you well in advance of the exam to allow you to

Nonverbal communication plays an essential role in any conversation. Individuals who are aware of nonverbal actions during conversations can more effectively interpret what is being communicated.
Part
1
Look at the interactions between the individuals in the following photos and interpret what you think is being expressed through nonverbal communication. Describe the nonverbal cues that lead you to these interpretations.
What is being said nonverbally by each person?
If he is waiting for a job interview, what impression do you think he is going to make?
What is the interviewer (the woman on the right) communicating with her nonverbal positioning?
Part 2
Compose responses to each of the following questions:
1.
Which of the images demonstrates an interpersonal communication exchange? How can you tell?
2.
What types of interpersonal communication are being displayed in the images? Why?
Part 3
Textual communication, or content that is read or viewed, also plays a role in communicating with others. Textual information may gain deeper meaning when the text is spoken or viewed in a specific context versus when it is read.
Read the following quotes and write a 50- to 100-word interpretation of what you think is being expressed. Support your responses. If you wish to include references, format your responses consistent with APA guidelines.

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
— John F. Kennedy

Nonvalue- Added Costs in a Doctor's Office
(Exercise 12-12) Dr. Steve Rosenthal has his own medical practice. He specializes in the treatment of diabetics. His staff consists of a receptionist, two nurses, a lab technician, and a dietitian. As patients enter the outer office, they check in with the receptionist. The patient then waits until called by a nurse. When called, the patient moves from the waiting room to the inner offices. The patient must weigh in and is then assigned a room. The nurse assigning the patient to a room gathers all the personal data for updating the medical records, such as insulin dosage, medication, illnesses since last visit, etc. The nurse also takes an initial blood sample for blood sugar testing and performs a blood pressure test. The patient then waits until the doctor comes in. After the doctor's conference, the nurse returns to take more blood samples, depending on what is ordered by the doctor. The patient then waits until the dietitian comes to review eating habits and talk about how to improve meal planning and weight control. The patient returns to the receptionist to pay for the office visit and to schedule the next visit.
In your response include the following:
1. Identify the activities in the doctor's office that fall into process time, inspection time, move time, wait time, and storage time.
2. List the activities in the doctor's office that are candidates for nonvalue-added activities. Explain why you classify them as nonvalue-added activities.
Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates’ postings and identify some common nonvalue-added activities. Respond to at least two of your classmates and provide recommendations that extend their thinking and inspire reconsideration of the activities listed in the posting

Students are required to submit a response to the Mid-Term Exam.
Chase-Dunn writes,
"The modern world-system can be understood structurally as a stratification system composed of economically, culturally, and militarily dominant core societies (themselves in competition with one another), and dependent peripheral and semi-peripheral regions. Some dependent regions have been successful in improving their positions in the larger core/ periphery hierarchy, while most have simply maintained their peripheral and semi peripheral positions. This structural perspective on world history allows us to analyze the cyclical features of social change and the long-term patterns of development in historical and comparative perspective."
In which ways, if any, has the United States government worked to retain its "core" status under the world system theory of global capitalism? Apply Chase-Dunn's World System theory interpretation to this question. This does not mean that you accept the theory, but that you learn how to apply it to generate explanation.

Mr. and Mrs. Ybarra, a retired couple in their late 70s, come in to meet with you. They are very friendly and living a comfortable retirement due, in large part, to the overall size of their estate (nearly $4 million dollars spread over multiple accounts) and their conservative asset allocation.
As you bring up the issue of estate planning, they thank you for your concern, but explain that it is already taken care of. They go on to explain that their attorney has prepared wills for both of them and all of their accounts are titled Jointly with Rights of Survivorship.
They are surprised, and a little confused, when you mention that their heirs might end up receiving only a fraction of those assets after the two of them pass away.
Include the following in your explanation to Mr. and Mrs. Ybarra:

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Framework for Case Analysis (Adapted from the original
document published by the UMass College of Management)
Part I – Analyzing a Case
What is this document?
You will be asked throughout your Graduate experience to
2. analyze cases. Because there are many ways to approach cases,
the CM faculty has agreed upon a framework for case analysis
that you will be asked to learn in MGT 650. This framework
will help you throughout your Graduate experience in thinking
about cases as well as in preparing written reports.
UC Note: The SL and DEL curricula are not “case-based.” This
document is intended to illustrate and explain my two-step case
study assignment. My notes appear in bold blue font
throughout.
What is a case?
A case is a story---usually a true story, but not always---that
illustrates business and management theories and concepts you
are studying in a course and/or presents a problem or series of
problems for you to solve. A case usually ends with a dilemma
or critical issue faced by a particular character or organization
depicted in the case. Sometimes a case will be accompanied by
a set of questions, usually theory-based, that your instructor
expects you to answer. Some questions will be devoted to
figuring out the problems imbedded in the case and the causes
of those problems; others will ask you to determine a course of
action to take in the future. These questions will be provided
between steps one and two. More complex cases usually
contain a variety of types of information, e.g. industry and
economic data, financial reports, policies and procedures,
market share and pricing data, descriptions of personnel and
other resources, job descriptions, individual perceptions, and
dialogue. Due to their complex nature, these cases demand your
careful, sustained attention; indeed, each case contains
subtleties that are likely to be discerned only by several re-
readings and discussions with other students.
Why do professors ask students in the Graduate Programs to
analyze cases?
Through the process of analyzing cases, professors believe that
3. Graduate students can learn the value of: [1] responding
actively and constructively to the conflicts of organizational life
by: suspending judgment about personalities as well as about
courses of action; differentiating between facts and opinions;
graciously giving up an opinion if it is shown to be inadequate;
integrating what one learns through discussions with others in
order to progress in one’s own thinking; examining the total
situation rather than focusing on the most obvious or pressing
elements of that situation; gaining multiple perspectives on a
situation by using theory, concepts and research findings;
understanding the continually evolving interrelationshi ps among
the factors in a situation; acknowledging what is not known or
understood by the student analyst about a situation; explicitly
assessing and acknowledging the degree of confidence the
student analyst is able to have in what he/she has come to
understand about the case; recognizing that a situation can
involve many “problems” and that different stakeholders will
probably experience different problems; setting priorities ---
deciding which problems deserve immediate attention;
developing an action orientation---a willingness to take
calculated risks under conditions of incomplete information,
inadequate resources, and often imperfect solutions;
appreciating the complexity of transforming proposed solutions
into comprehensive, detailed plans for action; and, seeking to
understand the consequences and limits of managerial actions.
As part of this process, I am asking you to analyze your case in
the context of the material and discussions about global
leadership we have covered in the past three weeks.
Will all instructors in the Graduate Programs use cases in the
same way?
The life of an Graduate student would be easier if the answer to
this question were “yes.” The truth, however, is that cases can
be used in a variety of ways, even by a single instructor. One
UMass/Boston faculty member has wisely observed that cases
4. can be used as:
the hook---a snappy introduction to a topic;
the curtain raiser---a hook with conceptual implications;
the example---an illustration of a concept, frequently
predefined;
the exercise---a test of the student’s mastery of the course’s
conceptual material
the rehearsal---an opportunity for the student to try out skills or
behavior related to or in the context of the course material.[2]
When instructors use cases for the first three purposes, they
almost never expect students to produce a full-fledged case
analysis. Instead, the cases, if they are discussed in class at all,
usually are used by instructors to engage students in thinking
concretely about conceptual material presented in course
readings. Indeed, such cases are usually quite brief---a
paragraph or two, or a page or two, in length. However, when
cases are used by instructors in the form of an “exercise” or
“rehearsal,” students are usually required to produce a
systematic analysis in the form of an oral presentation or
written paper.
My purpose in creating this assignment is related to items # 4 &
5. I am interested in the ways you may apply the theories and
concepts presented and discussed and as a kind of rehearsal for
your application presentation.
If you are asked to analyze a case, what are the key elements
your instructors might ask you to consider?
You rarely will be asked to analyze cases the same way every
time, even by a particular instructor in a particular course.
Nevertheless, the analysis elements described below cover most
of the ground that is likely to be of interest to instructors in
your Graduate courses. In thinking through a case, you may be
asked by your instructor to consider all twelve of the elements
described below. Most often, however, your instructor will ask
5. you to consider only a few of the elements. There are many
possible reasons that an instructor might exclude elements from
consideration: sometimes an instructor’s goals for a particular
class session can be met only if students are asked to
concentrate on a few selected elements; sometimes elements are
excluded because they are not relevant to a particular field of
study; sometimes elements are excluded because they interfere
with a particular instructor’s carefully considered way of
teaching cases.
No matter which elements you are asked to use, make careful
notes as you conduct your analysis. You will need to bring to
class well-organized and detailed references to the evidence of
the case if you are to participate effectively in class
discussions.
Elements of Analysis
1. Develop a detailed chronology of events---both major events
and those that seem, on first reading, relatively minor. In doing
so, pay careful attention to how certain you can be about each
event.
2. Describe the key economic and policy issues and trends in
the country(ies) where the firm is operating.
3. Describe the industry in which the firm is operating---
perhaps including such information as competitors, new
entrants, substitute products, suppliers, and the end-use and
intermediary buyers.
4. Identify the relevant cast of characters (often called
stakeholders).
a. Acknowledge to yourself whether you like some of these
stakeholders better than others. Have you tended to jump to
conclusions about what kind of people they are (e.g. he can’t be
trusted; she’s the perfect boss; that procurement department is
full of obstructionists)? b. Look carefully for evidence that
might contradict, in any way, your first impressions.
6. 5. Describe each stakeholder’s problems, goals (or demands),
and concerns.
a. For each stakeholder, look for evidence that something has
happened in the case that the stakeholder finds troublesome and
seems to consider a problem.
b. Identify the assumptions being made by each stakeholder, and
any apparent biases of each stakeholder.
c. Identify the goals (sometimes stated as explicit demands) of
each stakeholder.
d. Then, as best you can, identify the concerns underlying these
demands. In other words, what does the behavior (words,
actions) of the stakeholder suggest to you about why that person
(or group) wants what he/she seems to want?
6. Evaluate the quantitative information that you have available
in the case.
a. Identify assumptions underlying the data.
b. Examine consistency among units.
c. Determine the quality of data, e.g. completeness, accuracy,
possible biases, consistency among multiple sources.
d. Use estimation to gauge whether results “seem right.”
e. Identify ways in which the data may oversimplify an issue or
situation.
f. Summarize the quantitative information.
g. Be prepared to express the summary in a variety of forms: in
words, in visual/graphical displays, in tables of numerical
results, in analytical formulations.
h. Look for patterns among the results that help you gain insight
into the issues of the case.
7. Use theory, concepts, models, and research findings that you
have been studying in your class to enrich your view of the case
and help you to identify problems.
How does __________ (theory/model/concept) help me
understand ___________?
7. Using a variety of different concepts, theories and models to
organize your investigation will allow you to reframe and gain
multiple perspectives on the issues of the case. As you complete
your various inquiries, you will find that some have enabled you
to gain important new insights about the case, while others told
you little of significance. In your written report, of course, you
should write about those inquiries that were most meaningful.
The steps below describe a process that you may follow to
answer a conceptually-grounded question:
a. Define the concept (theory, model). Be prepared, if your
instructor asks you, to quote it from the text or relevant
readings; this will ensure that you are working with the
appropriate conceptual material and that you have a framework
for organizing evidence from the case.
b. Look in the case for evidence that seems relevant to all or
some portion of the definition that you quoted in (a). Be
prepared, if your instructor asks you, to quote that evidence,
also noting where it is located in the case and identifying what
is happening at that moment in the case.
c. Next, express in your own words how the piece of evidence
you quoted in (b) fits all or some part of the definition you
quoted in (a).
d. Repeat (a) and (b) as many times as necessary: to search for
evidence concerning all elements of the concept, theory or
model, not just the ones for which evidence is easy to find; and
to locate all relevant evidence from the case, not just an obvious
example or two. Sometimes you will be unable to find evidence
relevant to a particular part of the definition. If this happens, be
sure to acknowledge explicitly that you were unable to locate
evidence. If you need to make assumptions about certain
aspects of the case, do so, and clearly state what those
assumptions are.
e. When you have finished your analysis of the evidence,
express in your own words how you would answer the question
posed about the case. Be sure to: describe how confident you
8. are about your conclusion, given the amount of evidence you
have found; and describe how your conclusion is affected by the
direction of the evidence (e.g. the evidence all points in one
direction, is evenly divided, or is mixed but slightly weighted in
one direction).
8. Identify additional information that you need to fully analyze
this case.
In analyzing a case, you often find that you must make certain
assumptions because essential informa tion has not been
included by the case writer. In real life, too, key pieces of
information often are missing, or cannot be obtained because
the collection of the information would take too long or be too
costly. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize that relevant
pieces of information are missing and that your conclusions,
therefore, might be flawed.
9. Identify the basic issues that you must confront and the
relationships among them.
a. Considering everything that you have learned in the steps
above, identify the key problems that must be solved.
Sometimes, one problem cannot be solved without first making
at least some progress on the solution of another---so be
attentive to how problems overlap or interrelate.
b. Also, identify problems that are less central but still
deserving of attention.
c. Then, identify problems that can safely be ignored for the
foreseeable future.
d. Before considering additional analysis elements, be sure that
you have fully described the existing situation, or what in
quantitative modeling might be called the “base case.”
This is the dividing line between Steps 1 & 2 of your case
analysis assignment. Items 1-9 will be discussed in Week/Unit
4. Items 10 forward will become part of your case analysis
presentation in Week/Unit 5.
9. 10. Keeping in mind the whole array of problems that must be
solved, create as at least two different courses of action, each of
which seems likely to solve these problems. Be specific and
practical.
a. In creating courses of action, you should carefully consider at
what level (e.g. individual, team, department, organization)
action must be taken.
b. In creating courses of action, you also must think carefully
about how much specificity is required. In a manufacturing
case, for example, you will have to decide whether to model
each step in the production process separately, or to treat the
production process as a “black box” with raw materials as
inputs and finished products as outputs.
11. For each possible course of action, think through the
consequences. Almost every action has negative as well as
positive consequences. Think carefully about: a. how each
course of action will be perceived by each stakeholder; b. how
each course of action will affect other problems that must be
resolved; c. the difficulties you will encounter in actually
implementing the course of action under consideration; d. how
implementing the course of action you propose may create new
problems; and, e. how uncertainties in your evidence and
assumptions you have made during your analysis might affect
the courses of action that you are considering. Consider what
you can do to prepare for the possibility that the assumptions
you made might prove to be wrong.
12. Decide on a set of recommendations.
a. Prepare a rationale for your recommendations, based on other
elements of your analysis, that anticipates challenges and
counter-arguments that are likely to made by others; b. Create a
plan for implementing your recommendations; and, c. Establish
criteria for assessing how well the implementation plan is
working.
10. FRAMEWORK FOR CASE ANALYSIS
Part II – Writing About Your Case Analysis
If you are asked to produce a written report about your case
analysis, what format should you use?
There is no “one best way” to write a report about your case
analysis. The following outlines your instructor’s preferred case
presentation format. Feel free to modify when and if it makes
your analysis more clear. Use and adapt the provided
Powerpoint template as the basis for your case presentation.
A. Introduction
in a few sentences describe the case
in a sentence or two, tell the reader how your paper will be
organized, i.e. what the major sections will be and the order in
which they will be presented.
B. Body (should include four major sections: identification of
major stakeholders and their problems, goals and concerns;
identification of problems; analysis of alternative solutions;
recommended solutions)
Identification of Stakeholder’s Problems, Goals, and Concerns
1. For each stakeholder, identify events in the case that that
stakeholder finds troublesome and would consider a problem; in
doing so, quote the case.
2. Identify the assumptions being made by each stakeholder, and
the apparent biases of each stakeholder; in doing so, quote the
case.
3. Identify the goals (sometimes stated as explicit demands) of
each stakeholder; in doing so, quote the case.
4. Then, as best you can based on the evidence of the case,
identify the concerns underlying these demands; again, quote
the case.
Identification of Problems or Critical Issues
1. Identify the key problems that must be solved. Explain with
reference to appropriate concepts, theories, models, and/or
11. research findings---and the evidence of the case. Quote
evidence to justify your assertions. (Note: this is likely to be a
lengthy part of your analysis.)
2. Also, identify problems that are less central but still
deserving of attention, as well as problems that can safely be
ignored for the foreseeable future.
Analysis of Alternative
Solution
s
1. Keeping in mind the whole array of problems that must be
solved, describe two or three alternatives courses of action that
might be taken to resolve these problems. Be specific and
practical.
2. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of each course of
action, with reference to the following: how the course of action
is expected to resolve the key problems presented; how the
recommended course of action will affect other remaining
problems; how the recommended course of action will be
perceived by each stakeholder; the difficulties you will
encounter in actually implementing the course of action under
consideration; how implementing the proposed course of action
may create new problems; and, how uncertainties in your
evidence and assumptions you have made during your analysis
12. might affect the courses of action that you are considering.
