There are certain aspects of keeping statistics on court cases that are not very accurate at this time that do need to be changed that would make the statistics much more accurate. With the amount of cases and lack of judges that are being heard daily, it can be difficult to get a case complete in a timely manner. When dealing with juvenile cases there are both benefits and disadvantages to having the same judge preside of the same individual every time. The benefit of a judge becoming familiar with a juveniles background must be weighed against the judge possible becoming unfair in their rulings based on the number of times the judge has had to see the same individual. Merits and difficulties of case management approach The merits of this case-management quandary are the disposal of hearing 700 to 500 cases in a month...

...Case managers have a hard job. They are working with clients, dealing with a great amount of paper work, working with community agencies, and following rules and regulations. When managed care is a part of the equation it is much harder for the case manager due to what is and is not allowed. In this paper I will discuss managed care and how it affects the case manager’s job. What is Managed Care? Managed care consists of a variety of structures, processes and strategies designed to monitor, review, and guide processes of care (Mechanic, 1997). There are several types of managed care, the most popular being HMOs and PPOs. Managed care usually provides a network of providers that the client is allowed to see in order for the client to be covered. Managed care usually allows for the client to only obtain health care and services from those within their network. Here in lies the problem for case managers. Depending on the managed care that the client is under, he or she may not be able to utilize the resources that the case manager has provided for the client. It also may be more difficult for the case manager to find resources that are part of the allowed network within a client’s managed care plan. Managed Care in Case Management Managed care has an exceptional part in how mental illness is treated in our country. It can be very difficult for a case manager to find resources for a client with mental illness because the care they need may not be covered. To reduce costs...

...Bradyn Stowe Management 321 Case 3 2/4/2016 Case 3: Everest Question 1: Why do people climb Mt. Everest? - People climb Mt. Everest for a myriad of reasons. Rooted in those reasons, though, you could probably find self-determination theory. They’re looking for autonomy, mastery, and relatedness. It struck me as kind of funny how in the case study so many of the climbers commented on not trusting or not believing in their team. Their team meant so much to them, climbing Mt. Everest with someone would be the highest form of bonding I could think of. As far as autonomy and mastery (competence), those are self-explanatory. Even though you’re with a group on the mountain, for a lot of it you are alone, there is a whole fight going on inside each of those climbers every day that they must do all on their own. People climb Mt. Everest to fulfill these intrinsic needs and drives. Question2: What types of mistakes in judgment and choices did climbers make? - It depends on if you consider dying on that mountain not worth it, really. Harris died, and I think he knew he was going to the whole time, but not getting to the top was just not an option, he’d rather die. And in that regard, he never made a mistake, it was all worth it for him. Anyone could say that the mistakes they made in judgment and choices were just over-confidence and they pushed it too far, but I just simply don’t agree. I’ve read the whole book written about this and I wholeheartedly believe everyone ended...

...Reta Sharfina Tahar 1111002006 Case 4-4 Whiz Calculator Company Questions: 1. From the information given in Exhibits 1 and 3, determine insofar as you can whether each item of expense is (a) variable with sales volume, (b) partly variable with sales volume, (c) variable with some other factors, or (d) not related to output volume at all. 2. What bearing do your conclusions in question 1 have on the type of budgeting system that is most appropriate? 3. Should the proposed sales expense budgeting system be adopted? Why or why not? 4. What other suggestions do you have regarding the sales expense reporting system for Whiz Calculator? Answers: 1) In Exhibit 1, the figures of selling expenses are fixed or appropriation basis wherein the managers use judgement method for arriving at the budget for succeeding year. This is known as static budgeting. They work well for evaluating performance when the planned level of activity is the same as the actual level of activity, or when the budget report is prepared for fixed costs. Thus, in old system, expenses are not related to output variable at all. On the other hand, in exhibit 3, the figures for budget are arrived at by using flexible budgeting system. It provides budgeted data for different levels of activity. For instance, travel expenses are partly fixed and partly variable with percentage of sales. The fixed component is based on the target of 65% capacity utilization wherein it is projected that minimum this would minimum...

...Lacey Scott Case study 3 02/04/2016 1. Discussion- I feel that Patagonia executives decide on the products to offer by weighing their risks, and standing their ground. Patagonia is both a profitable and environmental organization, therefore taking into consideration the criteria of new proposed products is very important. For example, a new hiking boot has been proposed to the market. The criteria that I would use to evaluate the boot on being a new product would be, Is this boot made up environmental; substances, will it sell, and will it be a good Patagonia product. 2. Discussion- Since the CEO Yvon Chouinard is no longer active at the company; I feel that there must be some validation to fall into place as he still has a major influence on the company’s ideas. I feel that in order for the executives to continue his practices they must maintain the performance through a standard of ideas and policies from which Yvon once followed. The executives must put into place a standardized guide and set rules and goals while also keeping the environments clean. 3. Problem Solving- If I worked for Patagonia and was asked to come up with a new proposed agenda for the firm, I would include new incentives so that it would go above and beyond the company’s current agenda. These new incentives would not only offer customers a good long lasting product, but they will also motivate consumer’s interest in the company’s products, so not only the revenue will increase but the company’s...

...Case #15 Destin Brass Products Co Harvard Business School Case #9-190-089 (Rev. April 24, 1997) Questions 1. Explain how costs are estimated in the three cost systems delineated in the case: (a) The traditional cost system, (b) the modified cost system, and (c) the activity based costing (ABC) system. How do you determine which cost system is better suited for a given company? The traditional cost accounting system in Destin is built on measurements of direct and direct costs and on assumptions about its production and sales activity. Each unit of product is charged for material cost and labor cost; material cost is based on the prices it pays for components , and labor cost is based on the standard times for run labor times the labor pay rate of $16 per hour. Overhead cost is assigned to products in two-stage process. First, the overhead costs are assigned to production- in Destin case it has only one production department so they are sure all overhead costs are assigned correctly at the first stage. Then, the total overhead costs assigned to production are allocated on the basis of production-run labor cost. Every $1.00 of run labor cost causes $4.39 of overhead to be allocated to the product to which the labor was applied. The modified cost system would be to forego the overhead cost allocation altogether. Overhead costs could be charged each month as period expenses. Product profitability would then be measured at the contribution margin level, or price less all...

Statement of the Problem(s) There are three major corporate problems that I can see on this situation: 1. Eastern Dairy is lacking in contemporary quality control, quality management, and quality assurance systems that would ensure compliance to quality standards like ISO 9000, HACCP & ISO 2200. 2. Eastern Dairy is lacking in modern health, safety and environment (HSE) policies, procedures, and controls that would ensure compliance to environmental standards like ISO 14001 and ISO 14004. 3. Eastern Dairy has a poor inventory management & control system. II. Analysis 1. George Stein i. George is familiar with change because he had lived in various suburbs of a major city. He understands the need for change and he is comfortable in managing the change in his environment. It is possible that his ‘change quotient’ (Clawson, 2001:10) has been developed at an early age by the constant need to adapt to a new neighborhood. As a teen, he is able to work on different types of menial jobs probably in different companies, which can confirm his adaptability. ii. George is a social person. This is supported by one of his major interest, which is hanging out at the local teenage gathering place, a drive-in restaurant. He also likes the camaraderie...

...Case Management Overview Diana G. Resendiz BSHS/ 405 September 21, 2015 James Reeves Case Management Overview Case managers play an essential role in the helping process. Case managers take into account the person as a whole and focus not just on one problem, but also all the other variables (Summers, 2011). The case manager ensures the client receives the most individualized and effective treatments and plan for service possible. The many roles and responsibilities are carried professionally and ethically. The case manager also can use theoretical models to identify problem and cause of the client's behavior. Many times, case managers work with specific special populations and encounter issues that must be prepared to address. Roles and Responsibilities Case management primary purpose is to improve the quality of life the client by assessing their total situation (Summers, 2011). It is imperative that the case manager knows what their client wants not only for service but to have a productive and useful life. Case managers develop a comprehensive picture of each client and identify the specific intervention the client may need. Case management entails being respectful to the client, their family, and the diversity of the human experience. It also requires listening carefully and encouraging people to hope and work towards a productive and healthy life. Case managers utilize funding sources to support standard formal services, in some cases, medication, as well as community...

...hand crafted grand pianos, and impeccable sound. The Steinway grand piano is constructed as a subsystem of a lager system. Management and operations specifically focus on the raw materials, hand craftsmanship, and technology which ties in with their niche brand. The Steinway grand piano has been marketed to elite demographics including famous artists and musicians from around the world. This case study describes how only 10 pianos a day or 2,500 a year are produced in their New York Factory. Steinway & Sons management have proven themselves in a niche market with limited supply, and high demand for grand pianos costing between $45,000 and $110,000. The cost of the Steinway is tied closely to their financial department. The finance team is responsible for the purchasing of the high end materials, making sure they keep up with paying their business partners who sell Steinway the materials. The finance department also has to keep a check on their cash flow in order to pay the laborers and ensure there is no delay in releasing orders to be shipped. Management is responsible for the highly skilled laborers training, which can take about a year to train a Steinway case maker, and to ensure the high end quality standards are followed through from start to finish with their production team. Management also has to manage the pipeline of orders. Management works closely with the Sales/Marketing department to keep abreast of the changing market conditions and demand in this high...

...Case management nurses are registered nurses who coordinate all aspects of the care of different patients. Case managers deliver assistance within, between, and outside of facilities. Case managers need to be knowledgeable, well organized, and creative. The article reviewed exhibited a study carried out with community nurses to help cultivate case management within their scope of practice. The nurses involved in the study suggested for further entrenching case management as a means of helping patients with complex care necessities in their place of residence. The elements that can affect the community nurse’s capability to implement case management are demonstrated in the outcomes of the study. One of the elements mentioned include accessibility of resources (Smith, MacKay, and McCulloch, 2013). And as case managers we are experts at attaining resources but sometimes it is difficult finding some of these resources. I encounter this as a case manager every so often the state may not have sufficient funds and there is a long waiting list too. The option left is getting the support of a family member or the community where the patient reside or even the church. Another point mentioned is case managers getting family and the individual patient involved in care. “They considered it important that patients and caregivers are informed about the goals of care and are supported to take control over aspects of that care” (Smith et al., 2013). Case management nurses work with patients...
