...To: Investors From: Sobia Akhtar Subject: Organizing Business Date: 04/22/2015 Business Brief Introduction Starting a business, whether small or big, is not an easy task.

...Organizing is a management function that combines people, performance of tasks and financial resources to get results. Small enterprises or companies with turbulent environments tend to be less complex in the organizational function because of frequent changes in strategies. Enterprises with routine technologies require a high degree of structure in the organizing function. Management has the responsibility of choosing the best organizational form for the best possible results. Instructions 1. o 1 Organize the budget to manage the objectives of the programs to be performed for maximum productivity. Determine the costs necessary for overhead to meet the objectives. Determine the projected revenues from fees, grants, gifts, or contracts. Calculate your projected profit margin. Draft a budget and provide justifications.

...CASE: M-321 DATE: 8/27/09 OBAMA AND THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY In early 2007, Barack Obama was a little-known senator running for president against Democratic nominee and household name, Hilary Clinton. But on November 4, 2008, Obama made history as the first African American to win the election against Republican candidate, John McCain, thus becoming the 44th president of the United States. Obama won by a margin of nearly 200 electoral votes and 8.5 million popular votes. Many factors contributed to his success, but a major one was the way Obama and his Chicago-based campaign team used social media and technology as an integral part of their campaign strategy, not only to raise money, but also more importantly, to develop a groundswell of empowered volunteers who felt that they could make a difference. Michael Malbin, executive director of the Campaign Finance Institute said: “No other candidate has ever integrated the full picture the way he [Obama] has, that‟s what‟s really new about his campaign.”1 Edelman Research analysts said that Obama won by “…converting everyday people into engaged and empowered volunteers, donors and advocates through social networks, e-mail advocacy, text messaging and online video. The campaign‟s proclivity to online advocacy is a major reason for his victory”2 (Exhibit 1). In terms of the numbers, externally, Obama‟s campaign was able to garner 5 million supporters on 15 different social networks ranging from Facebook to MySpace...

...life is very different from both city and suburban life, and it needs to be address, a community organizing needs to be adopt. Community organizing is a methodology of community work which originated in the United States. Organizers in the U. S. found it helpful to distinguish their work from three other forms of community based strategies; namely advocacy, service delivery, community development.

Community Organizing is a process, through which communities are helped to identify common problems or goals, mobilize resources, and develop and implement strategies for reaching their goals they have collectively set by getting together and helping them help themselves. Particularly effective for the poor and powerless as they determine for themselves the actions they will take to deal with the essential forces that are destroying their community and consequently causing them to be powerless. As one of the methods use in developing communities, this research paper aims to discuss the following: 1. Definition of community organizing 2.

LDRS 300 etc skills/behaviors – most common type, focus on teaching people how to do leadership issues – focus on leadership as it relates to a particular issue, such as Leadership & ethics, or gender issues & leadership.

An influence relationship between leaders & followers. Multidirectional. 3 elements - This influence is based on persuasion, not authority. Why do followers hold the power? Because they have the decision making power. They decide who they’re going to follow, when, and why. To be successful in the leadership role, have to be persuasive and convince people to listen to me. Has to be a non-coercive relationship. 2) Why do we do leadership? To change from what is to what ought to be. 3) The change is for collective good and mutual purposes. Doing it for “our group”, the collective good of that group. What is civic leadership?

...Section 1: Asset Mapping Purpose Asset mapping provides information about the strengths and resources of a community and can help uncover solutions. Once community strengths and resources are inventoried and depicted in a map, you can more easily think about how to build on these assets to address community needs and improve health. Finally, asset mapping promotes community involvement, ownership, and empowerment. What is a community asset? A community asset or resource is anything that improves the quality of community life. Assets include: • The capacities and abilities of community members. • A physical structure or place. For example, a school, hospital, or church. Maybe a library, recreation center, or social club. • A business that provides jobs and supports the local economy. • Associations of citizens. For example, a Neighborhood Watch or a Parent Teacher Association. • Local private, public, and nonprofit institutions or organizations. When to use Asset Mapping •You want to start a new local program and need information about available resources. For example, you are interested in teen mothers finishing their education. You could draw a community asset map that identifies school drop-out prevention, tutoring, and education counseling programs for young teen mothers. This helps you see what already exists, or if support services are lacking. You may find it is necessary to develop a program to help young mothers finish their education. You are making...

...* What is VMOSA? * Why should your organization use VMOSA? * When should you use VMOSA? Like everyone else, community organizers often dream about goals they would like to accomplish, such as an end to drug abuse; every child being wanted, cared for, and nurtured; a home for everyone; peace in our lifetime. These are just a few of many people's visions for our community. Unfortunately, like many individual dreams, we think these objectives are too lofty and unattainable to ever be realized. But, in fact, realizing these dreams is possible. Look, for example, at our global success in eradicating small pox, or how far we have come since the 1950s in the United States towards reaching racial and gender equality. As Henry David Thoreau said over a century ago, "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; there is where they should be. Now, put foundations under them." Building foundations for your community dreams is what VMOSA, the strategic planning process that is the focus of this chapter, is all about. It's about groups of people deciding together what they want to accomplish, and how they are going to get there. What is VMOSA? One way to make that journey is through strategic planning, the process by which a group defines its own "VMOSA;" that is, its Vision, Mission, Objectives, Strategies, and Action Plans. VMOSA is a practical planning process that can be used by any community organization or initiative. This comprehensive planning tool...

...a. PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZING According to Borgos and Douglas, the key principles of contemporary CO are: 5.1 A participative culture CO organizations view participation as end in itself. Under the rubric of leadership development, they devote considerable time and resources to enlarging the skills, knowledge and responsibilities of their members. “Never do for others what they can do for themselves” is known as the iron rule of organization. 5.2 Inclusiveness CO groups are generally committed to developing membership and leadership from abroad spectrum of the community, with many expressly dedicated to fostering participation among groups that have been “absent from the table” including communities of colour, low income constituencies, immigrants, sexual minorities and youth. Working with marginalized groups demands a high level of skill, a frank acknowledgement of power disparities, and a major investment of time and effort. 5.3 Breadth of mission and vision In principle, every issue that affects the welfare of the community is within CO`s purview, where other civic institutions tend to get stuck on certain functions while losing sight of the community’s larger problems. In practice, strong (but by no means all) CO organizations have proven adept at integrating adverse set of issues and linking them to a larger vision of the common good. This is a holistic function that has been largely abandoned by political parties, churches, schools and other civic institutions...
