...CASE STUDY: WEEK 3 ZATSWHO LT CASE STUDY WEEK 3: Zatswho 1. What tips can you offer Cooper and Schwinoff about family members who start and run a business together? What pitfalls would you warn them to avoid? Answer: Suggestion for family members starting a business: “Successful copreneurs learn to build the foundation for a successful working relationship before they ever launch their companies. Some of the characteristics they rely on include: ■ An assessment of how well their personalities will mesh in a business setting ■ Mutual respect for each other and one another’s talents ■ Compatible business and life goals—a common “vision” ■ A view that they are full and equal partners, not a superior and a subordinate ■ Complementary business skills that each acknowledges in the other and that lead to a unique business identity for each spouse ■ A clear division of roles and authority—ideally based on each partner’s skills and abilities—to minimize conflict and power struggles ■ The ability to keep lines of communication open, talking and listening to each other about personal as well as business issues ■ The ability to encourage each other and to lift up a disillusioned partner” (Scarborough 25) References: Scarborough, Norman M..

...Positive Reinforcement Case Study Nicole Smith ECE 201 Intro to Early Childhood I Instructor Dana Bux May 7, 2012 Doug is a very talented and extraordinary little boy. He loves playing with blocks and he is also very good at it. However, his teacher and his parents started to notice a slight problem with his attention span when it comes to individual assignments. He does well in group assignments but when it comes any individual work and does no even like to participate. So challenging behaviors are difficult and some are simple, follow along as I explain further more about Doug’s case study. A group contingency is one of the commonly consequences, that may require rewarding a student depending on their behavior, used in early childhood education today. “Group contingency consist of either one person within the group, a part of the larger group or each member of the group that is following a certain criteria using childhood behavior.” (Murphy K.,2007). There are a total of three group contingency, which are Interdependent, Dependent and Independent. Interdependent group contingency deals with all the members of a group that’s meets a criterion of the contingency, rather its group wise or individually, before any members earns the reward. Interdependent is easily implemented by teachers. (Cooper J., 2007). Independent group contingency deals with individuals within the group are reinforced for individual achievement toward a goal. The same rules apply to everyone...

...Supervision Altheria Stevens Delaney Walden University Supervision The job of a supervisor of a mental health professional counselor encompasses many roles and responsibilities. Many supervisors subscribe to different supervision models, however this paper focuses on the discrimination model and will explain how to apply each of the supervisory roles with the case of Michael, the supervisee in the case study. This paper will also incorporate a description and justification of a skills that is most relevant to the role. Lastly, I will explain the supervisor’s role and skill set as noted in the discrimination model of supervision. Applying and Explaining Supervisory Roles This is where you introduce the ideas of effective characteristics and behaviors. Be sure to support your points with the learning resources. Using multiple resources will support your points further. Supervisors of mental health professionals train, mentor, teach, encourage and challenge counselors who are new to the field (Young & Bashman, 2010). They are individuals that have been counseling for a while, who take time out to guide and assist people that are new to field (Young & Bashman, 2010). There are many roles and responsibility that a supervisor has and a number of theories that they may incorporate into their personal doctrine. The discrimination model is a theory that includes three skills (intervention, conceptualization and personalization) and roles (teacher, counselor, and consultant)...

...CASE STUDY Week Two Assignment You Decide Professor: Mary Black, PhD. Kingsley Agharese (HIMC) What are Medical benefits, and who should provide such benefits to company’s employees? Most Americans know what Medical benefits entail and they know how to shop around for the most affordable benefits. Should Medical benefits be mandated and priced across the board? Cooper Pearson Corporation became a victim of circumstance because they did not conduct sufficient research in regards to the best Medical benefits for their employees. Having a PPO you have a lot more flexibility, you don't have to wait for referrals and you choose your own doctor. To be honest, you also get better care with PPO. With an HMO, doctors only get a paid capitation fee which is like $5 per patient a month and some small fee for some major treatments, so that is $0 for a checkup and cleaning. On the other hand, PPO pays $120-$250 for a recall visit; so who do you think is going to get the best care and sooner appointments? Some doctor’s offices no longer accept HMOs, due to the lengthy paperwork involved, and it's simply not worth it. I realize that health care in America isn't as inexpensive or accessible as we'd like, but if faced with the option between choosing an HMO and a PPO without one being cost prohibitive, I'd pay the extra money to get the PPO because that added flexibility, in my opinion, is definitely worth it. Most PPOs have a preferred provider list, much like the HMO provider list...

...ent Applied Behavioral Analysis and Case Studies Bobby, Jackie, and Emma Joshua Stewart Kaplan University PS360- Unit 4 Assignment Prof. Chrystal Ayala June 15, 2015 Applied Behavioral Analysis and Case Studies Bobby, Jackie, and Emma Applied Behavioral Analysis is a natural science that aims to systematically apply intervention processes using the behavior learning theory in order to remove or change undesirable socially significant behaviors (Cooper, Heron, Heward, 2007). Applied behavioral analysis can be applied in many setting and situations and the intervention process and techniques depend on those settings and individual situations. Applied behavioral analysis is used to modify target behaviors that can occur in the home, in the community, in an educational setting, and is even used to aid in treatment for rehabilitation programs. Through the use of different components of ABA such as operant conditioning, reinforcement, modification programs, and extinction to name a few, one will develop a behavioral modification plan to best suit each client’s specific needs. In the first case, Bobby is an 8-year-old boy who cannot keep his room cleaned or organized despite the fact that he is constantly reminded by his father to do so. Mr. Kelley would like to establish a modification process for Bobby to encourage him to keep his bedroom clean on a regular basis. First the target behavior and modification process must be identified in order to determine the appropriate...

...Gendered Experiences of Racism Monica Purchase Ashford University EDU 639 Professor Jaime Worthington May 13, 2013Racism is an issue that has been discussed for many years. There various cases and even laws against racial profiling. “Our society, among many others, categorizes people according to both visible and invisible traits, uses such classifications to assign behavioral and cognitive traits to these categories, and then applies policies and practices based on these categories that jeopardize some people and benefit others, (Bode 63). Unfortunately, there is an additional form of racism that is often not discussed or explored much in our society and those are feeling that a particular race or gender places on their own self-image. The saying goes that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. When it comes to some young African American women, beauty is the eye of society. Some gage their level of beauty according to what is popular in today’s society. Even though Dr. Kenneth Clarks was conducted in 1939, there were the same results in 2005. Some young African Americans feel that they lighter the skin, the prettier or nicer the person. This is strictly based off of society and what they have been exposed to. A young lady from the study made a statement to the fact that not knowing her heritage or culture make it difficult to define herself and due to the fact that many African American’s are unaware of their specific culture puts them a t a loss and...

...Business Research Methods III QNT/TM561 Research and Statistics for Process Control May 30, 2011 Professor Alfred Siu Over the past several weeks the teams have researched and analyze Riordan Manufacturing. In the final analysis the appointed team members will discuss the statistical analysis of the data that has been collected, analyze how management will apply Six Sigma methodology. Other areas that will be discussed are challenges to the validity and reliability of the team’s research, classifying the findings, and discuss how the analysis may be used to innovate the business process. Discuss the statistical analysis of the data you collected. The statistical analysis from the data Riordan Manufacturing provide shows that the raw materials receiving processes has several flaws. Each quarter process shows three out of the seven tasks performed holds 10 to 15% of the whole processing timeframe. The variance from turnaround time has increased and stayed in double figures in each quarter. By focusing on the data gathering for the speed and accuracy from the raw materials receiving processes information, management should be able to determine the areas that needs most attention and which business management strategy methodology that can be used to correct the issues. Analyze how you would apply Six Sigma, Baldrige, or ISO to the issues the organization is facing with one of their processes. One of the problems...

...MINI COOPER: MARKETING STRATEGY, DIGITAL MARKETING, BRAND & ETHICS 10.2478/cris-2013-0005 MINI COOPER: MARKETING STRATEGY, DIGITAL MARKETING, BRAND & ETHICS MARIIA MOISEIEVA The report is designed to examine, analyse, and evaluate where appropriately the current Mini Cooper’s marketing strategy, its digital marketing initiative, branding, and the importance of ethical values in Mini Cooper as well as other organisations. That is important for understanding of the practical applications of marketing is achieved by applying theory to them. It is determined that Mini’s marketing strategy has shifted in terms of targeting and brand positioning. As previously it was an affordable iconic British car, now it has become a cool luxury car dominantly for a young segment. Its international marketing strategy is differentiated in a way that a brand is built up on the historical iconic image of Mini for the UK and associated market, but it is not associated with any values in the past for the US customers. Overall, Mini’s marketing strategy is considered to be innovative, creative, and sometimes ‘silly’, which is of great value for its young energetic target audience. Digital marketing initiative also corresponds to the latest IT and social trends worldwide by ‘digitalising’ marketing initiatives and active social networking with the consumers. Brand is a core competence and ‘everything’ for Mini. Marketing is centered on its brand, not vice versa. An analysis of the Mini’s strategy...

...WorldCom history The history of WorldCom Company dates back in 1983 which started as a partnership between a former basketball coach Bernard Ebbers. This company was established at Mississippi as a coffee shop, which later developed to long distance Telephone Company. The company’s name initially was Long Distance Discount Service whose operations began on 1984. After several years in operation, the company became public in August 1989 with Bernard Ebbers as the company’s CEO (Moberg 4). Over the years, the company developed through mergers and acquisitions and becomes public in the year 1989. The notable merge which enabled the company to go public was the merger with the advantage companies Inc. This led to changing of the name from just LDDS to LDDS WorldCom in 1995 and to just WorldCom a year later (Moberg 4). In 1993, the company acquires long distance providers in the name of Resurgence Communications Group and Metromedia communications. This made history as the fourth largest long distance communication firm in United States. There were also several other mergers and acquisitions such as with IDB in 1994, WilTel in 1995, MFS communications in 1996, and the greatest merger which involved MCI communications. In 1998, WorldCom completed the merger with MCI at a cost estimated to be $40 billion. This was viewed as the greatest merger after brooks fiber properties and CompuServe which were valued at $ 1.2 and $ 1.3 billion respectively (Moberg 6). Another notable aspect...

...where those feelings are coming from), Self-Awareness (counselors encourage clients though process of belief that they can achieve anything, have faith in the clients you work with but also be aware that not everything they tell you is the truth), lastly collaboration (by working together as a system and using your people skills your collaboration with your client will be more effective). An ineffective characteristic that I got from the media was codependency, making sure to pay attention to times when counselors become too involved in their clients therapy or lives and are not creating the active listening environment, this may lead to not helping the client heal and become a more positive person and get better in the long run. In the case study two effective characteristics that I believe to be effective are when the counselor as the client to tell him more about the anger issues. This is effective because it opens up more questions that the counselor...

...Case Study 2 – Mastering Teacher Leadership Business Research Methods 1 This case presents a situation that is quite common in the education field and addresses the responses by institutions to new legislation imposed upon them. As is often the case, the legislators do not address the impacts to organizations, leaving the actual implementation to the end user (i.e., public and private schools). In this particular case, Wittenburg University (WU) is faced with the decision of whether to develop and deliver a Master of Arts degree in classroom leadership. 1.) Build the management-research question hierarchy for this opportunity. The initial step in the research is the creation of a management-research question hierarchy, to formalize the process. For this case study, the management-research hierarchy is presented in Appendix A. The purpose of this hierarchy is to examine the various stages of the research question and present a logical sequence of increasing focus that will allow the development of a survey instrument that can be delivered to potential program applicants. The initial stage is to identify and state the management dilemma, which in this case is the impending new legislation. The State of Ohio intends to require all licenced teachers to have, or complete, a master’s degree before obtaining their second licensure to teach. Given that this is new legislation and WU is not obligated to offer a program, the “management dilemma” actually presents an opportunity...
