...Scenario Evaluation Plan HSM/270 Scenario Evaluation Plan The purpose of the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency is to promote a sense of security, support, and empowerment for individuals and families who are affected by domestic violence. To continue helping those who suffer from domestic abuse, the PEACE agency will develop an evaluation plan using a simple framework design. This agency wants to assess the work it is performing, and the reason for evaluation is it wants to know the effects its services have on people’s lives. The program wants to improve upon those efforts, but does not want to continue to exert time and resources into efforts which are not helpful. The evaluation plan the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency will use will be a project-wide evaluation using the empowerment approach. This form of evaluation plan will work perfectly with the agency’s domestic violence program because it concentrates on the purpose of the program and provides structure for the big picture. In addition, it involves program staff in the evaluation development and implementation, which enables them to feel empowered. The first step in developing this type of plan is to “identify the answer to the big question” (Yuen & Terao, 2003, p.53) which, in the case of the PEACE agency, is whether or not the incidents of domestic violence can be reduced and how. Another question could be whether or not educating people about domestic violence can play a key role in preventing...

Advertising agencies are highly specialized in creating advertisements for traditional media as well as emerging technology, such as internet video and social networks. Agencies can act as full-service boutiques, handling a campaign every step of the way, or they can perform contract work on a specific portion of a campaign, such as advertisement design.

This will allow Tesco to match the demographic of their products and service to the correct form of advertising to advertise their products and service to make their promotional campaign a success. However, a disadvantage of this is the advertising agency that Tesco may use; Saatchi&Saatchi and Ogilvy&Mather.

...P3 – explain the role of advertising agencies in the development of a successful promotional campaign M2 – explain the advantages and disadvantages of using promotional agencies in ensuring promotional success Advertising agencies is a service based organisation devoted to planning and designing adverts. They give an external opinion when it comes to selling their clients services or products. They work closely with many different companies to collect information in order to get an idea on what they company wants to sell. Getting an advertising agency to create an advert is expensive because they have extensive and creative knowledge on how to develop and handle an advert. But it is much better to get an advertising agency to do this than creating an advert alone, simply because we do not have the right tools for creating an ad. They would know how to make it look professional, what words would suit the advert best, how the layout should be like, what colours would make the ad stand out and overall what would make the ad unique in order to capture the selected audience. Furthermore, they determine the right mix of media to attain the marketing campaign objectives. When considering the targeted audience, making certain that the advert is advertised in the right place allows the right audience to be aware of it. They do this by booking slots on television, cinemas, space in magazines and newspapers and so on. They do this so that they can achieve the most cost-effective...

...Mobile Technologies Question 1. Why are government agencies increasingly interested in using cloud and mobile technologies to accomplish their missions? Government agencies have found they could deliver the information and service by IT solutions. When using the IT in a more efficient and coordinated way, government agencies could accomplish more on tighter budgets. Using cloud computing, the federal government not only reduced the costs, but also created its large data centers. Overall, cloud and mobile technologies help a lot to improve productivity and efficiency. Question 2. Why is security even more important for government agencies than businesses in the private sector? Actually, the government should defend the country and with it, its citizens and corporations. The government agencies may have access to information and data including businesses in the private sector, even individuals in order to protect the national security. The national security is related to everyone in the country. If the country is not safe, the citizens could not live easily either. As the importance of the national security, the government agencies’ servers are usually targets for terrorists and unfriendly foreign governments. So creating a secure system and developing policies and procedures to protect the nation’s IT infrastructure from cyber threats are challenging, however, also very necessary. To some extent, the security of government agencies is even more important than the security of businesses...

...A Rhetorical Analysis of Duffield’s “Should Federal Agencies Use the Same Definition of Homelessness”? Kim Boltenhouse WRIT 120 H1FF Krista Hilton 12/01/2013 A Rhetorical Analysis of Duffield’s “Should Federal Agencies Use the Same Definition of Homelessness”? The author, Barbara Duffield, Policy Director for National Association for the education of homeless children and youth, writes for CQ Researcher the article “Should federal agencies use the same definitions of homelessness?” Duffield aims to substantiate that federal agencies, using different definitions of the law create complications. That clear guidelines need defined for establishing what is best for families and youth found in a homeless situation. Justification for changing the definition of homelessness is provided in this article by Duffield using ethos to prove creditability with homelessness, logos to support why she believes in modifying the definition and pathos to create empathy the with the readers on effects of homelessness. Duffield proves ethos in the article by quoting Federal law, The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) criteria, and her professional credentials on the issues of homeless. According to HUD in the article it “…bases people's eligibility on where they happen to find refuge: with very few exceptions, HUD limits homeless assistance to people who are on the street or are fortunate enough to have found a shelter bed.” (2013, para. 2) and “Under federal...

...Building a Brand using Integrated Marketing Communication Target Shaun Stillwell MKT 544 August 11, 2014 Faculty: Ron Zimmerman Building a Brand using Integrated Marketing Communication Target Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC), is part of Target Retailer brand building. The retail giant recognized IMC evolution helps Target get better with advertising. Sloan states, “One awesome practitioner of the art of branding is Target” (Sloan, 2000). Using a supplement ad in prestigious food magazines with the Target icon helps consumers identify with upper-end retail stores. Expansion progress and development of the retail giant has successfully brought attention to the consumer with quality products. Target focused on the company’s dot.com site with a dramatic flurry of activity. The ad supplements in publications of the New York Times home section and House & Garden during the month of October was successful. Target use of promotions spoke volumes about entertaining, lifestyle, and gift items. Two examples are: • All that Glitters for the holidays included an exclusive Tina Turner CD and gifts with sparkle, dazzle, and shine. • All through the house used relevant merchandise for each room within the home (Sloan, 2000). Taylor Swift had a retail partnership with Target and launched a multimillion-dollar ad campaign after picking up an award.

...employee referrals Upload availability to Kiosk Employ a staffing agency State Job Service Staff members involved: HR Managers, Department managers and Shift leaders Budget: $2,000-6000 2. When looking at the desired results of hiring sales associates for Tanglewood I would have to say that the Open recruitment would be the best decision on the behalf of Tanglewood. The 50% turnover would cause the need for a higher pool of interviewed and qualified applicants; one reason for open recruitment would be because specific qualifications are not needed for the sales associate position opening that pool of applicants. . 3. The Western region of Washington is the only area presently using four methods of recruiting and the only one using job services. The higher costs associated with media almost doubles the cost of the other four and second would be the cost of kiosk recruiting, these two are not significantly cost effective to the organization in this region. The other two hiring practices in this region have higher retention levels and lower costs for referrals and job service recruiting. The Eastern Washington region is currently using three methods of recruiting. This area has higher costs associated with media and kiosk recruiting but the difference here would be that the Kiosk recruiting method is higher than the media approach and both have lower overall retention. Eastern Washington is using referrals which overall match the...

...Final Project: Analyzing Financial Statements Joyce Davis HSM 260 December 2, 2012 Final Project: Analyzing Financial Statements Financial statements provide a nonprofit human service, with a detailed account of financial records that shows how the company finances are managed. A financial statement provides the company with records that show how their finances were handled in the past. It also allows a company to look at where the company is heading financially.

The paper also tries to identify the differences which may be required in the system if the blueprint is to be used for other states. The factors affecting these differences would also be identified and the expected value realizations for other states as compared to the state of Arkansas. Expanding Business Intelligence to GISs Governments around the world have lots of location based data which is very important for managing the state and serving the citizens. Having all this data in physical formats makes it very difficult to manage and work efficiently. GIS systems are invcreasingly being used to convery the location based data into digital formats. A lot of different government agencies require location based data which is useful to their field area. Having multiple government agencies using different sets of location based data can make colloobration very difficult and time consuming. Integrating the location based data from various government agencies into a single data warehouse can go a long way in helping not only government agencies but also other businesses to take advantage from it. "Geographic information is the key to better decision-making; just about everything a community, business, or public agency does, whether in day-to-day operations or long-term planning, is related to its geography."
