...Management of Human Services Programs University of Phoenix This paper is in reference to case study 10. This paper will develop one process evaluation measure and one outcome evaluation measure to display the Greenby Community Mental Health Center’s effectiveness and efficiency. This paper will also discuss the scope and purpose of the process evaluation measure and outcome evaluation measure and how they influence the design. The Greenby Community Mental Health Center process evaluation measure suggests the consultation and education department needs to implement the address of the real questionable issue within the organization, and to evaluate the programs being offered through the organization. The questionable issue at the center involves the discontinuance of the consultation and education departments. We understand the organization is facing an issue in regard to required service programs. We also understand the community mental health center has suggested as long as there is a director available the proposed suggestion will work, but doing so will take away workshops that have been instrumental to the program consumers. The implemented design includes dedicating a percentage of each professionals work towards Consultation and Education (Lewis, p. 242). A process evaluation is aimed at enhancing a current program by means of a formative analysis. It can be done anytime to describe and study the conceptualization, planning and implementation of a particular...

...Case Study Analysis: CODEACADEMY’s Monetization Strategy 1. Venture capital firm Union Square’s Andy Weissman warns against pursuing monetization strategies too soon. Do you agree with this? When is the right time to pursue monetization strategies, and how do you know? I agree with Andy Weissman, that Codeacademy shouldn’t pursue monetizing strategies too soon. The right time to pursue monetization is after 1 to 1.5 years. This is because despite having a successful user-base and market credibility with corporate, government, academic and individual users in different countries, Codeacademy has been struggling to generate stable revenues. The company needs to further develop and enhance its core products and competencies, whether in the form of annual corporate contracts, user-generated fees, advertising, IPOs etc. before launching into monetization. This timeframe, will also enable it to strengthen its branding strategy to achieve the above goals and attract multiple sources of funding. 2. Is it time for Codeacademy to pursue monetization efforts? If so, which ones should they choose and why? No, it is not feasible for Codeacademy to pursue monetization efforts immediately. However, they should commence on this after 1 to 1.5 years. They should select a monetization effort that ensures sustainability, by pursuing an enterprise-model. This strategy should be chosen because: a. It is a good source of stable income, from established Fortune-500 corporations. b. It...

...The History of Google Introduction And Definition : Google, the leading search engine worldwide, was founded in 1998 by Stanford University graduate students Larry Page and Sergei Brin.While at Stanford in 1996, Page and Brin began developing a search engine they eventually entitled BackRub. This search engine was designed to look at the connecting links between web pages in order to determine a site's authority. In 1998, Page and Brin set up their first data center in Page's dorm.With the encouragement of fellow Stanford alum David Filo, who started Yahoo a few years earlier, Page and Brin decided to start a company and started looking for investors to back them. Andy Bechtolsheim, one of the founders of Sun Microsystems, invested $100,000 in the company after receiving a demo of their search technology. Eventually the pair raised over $1M.Google, Inc. was established on September 7, 1998 in a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. Page and Brin hired their first employee, Craig Silverstein, who was later to become Google's Director of Technology.In their humble beginnings, Google served over 10,000 queries a day and quickly gained a reputation as a trustworthy source of four walls of a garage to the now mega Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California.Google achieved praise and publicity as news spread rapidly through online and offline media as well as their receipt of numerous awards and recommendations. Their audience continued to grow along with their reputation...

...number of people in the world or how far some galaxy cluster is away from Earth. It is the amount of money spent during the 2012 Presidential Campaign. Politicians consistently use unprecedented amounts of money during campaigns to ensure victory. According to the Gale Encyclopedia of American Law, “Election campaigns for public office are expensive. Candidates need funding for support staff, advertising, traveling, and public appearances. Unless they are independently wealthy, most must finance their campaigns with contributions from individuals and from businesses and other organizations.” The issue that arises is the matter of how this money is collected. Incumbent politicians have the biggest advantage in regards to campaign financing because of the connections they have already made. Super PAC’s, interest groups, corporations, and private individuals are the biggest contributors in campaign donations. Some people see these contributions and unlimited funds as unconstitutional and call for major reform in campaign finance laws. Campaign Financing Private campaign donors can provide unlimited amounts of funding; therefore, politicians often use these private donors in order to finance their massive campaigns. The most recent attempt at reform in the 2010 Supreme Court case of Citizen’s United vs. FEC instead served to worsen the problem. In “Non Profit Groups and Partisan Politics,” Christina Lyons explains how, (Q) “that ruling permitted unlimited spending on partisan political...

...THE RAISE OF USING SOCIAL MEDIA IN NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SUMMARY: This paper will address my observations about the roles of social media, how it affects non profit organizations in term of marketing and fundraising from both negative and positive side BACKGROUND Social media is defined as “group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user generated content” Kaplan, Andreas M.; Michael Haenlein (2010). Bringing organizations the ability to interact with the society, social media has been revolutionizing the way organizations doing marketing. It is obvious that every organization has a great need in in marketing itself, interacting and communicating with its members and society to keep them informed and engaged. For special organizations like non-profit ones, the need of effective communication channels at zero cost is likely greater, especially during challenging economic time today. And social media, currently, is likely the best choices for such organizations. EARTH HOUR-A SUCCESSFUL CASE OF USING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR REACHING AND ENGAGING TARGET AUDIENCES According to Facebook early October 2012, Facebook now has more than one billion users each month and its one billion users have been responsible for 1.13 trillion “likes,” 219 billion photos and 17-billion location check-in.

...According to “www.psychologytoday.com”, “Thousands of former NFL and NHL players are suing their respective leagues because of potential brain damage sustained during their tenure in the game.” This shows that in professional sports, players are dropping out because of concussions. If concussions continue in sports situations the town could cut the funding due to lack of players in the game. If parents are seeing that kids are getting hurt and having a health problem they might pull out their kids, causing other kids to drop out. This will affect all physical sports and not in a good way. Kids can get severe long-term and short-term effects if not taken care of. Concussions can cause things like, “Temporary loss of consciousness. Confusion. A headache or pressure in the head. Dizziness. Fatigue. Vomiting. Delayed responsiveness. Nausea.” According to “www.piedmont.org”. These effects are not anything to joke about. According to “Andy Claudey Stefancik” when he got a concussion from playing hockey he experienced a dizzying feeling all day. Concussions can even cause dementia in severe cases. These are effects that will affect kids as they get older and will affect their...
