In the case study about Tina, it was caused by her ex-husband leaving her for a younger woman. Her role changes from early to middle adulthood will be discussed as well as the effects of healthy or unhealthy habits as well. Tina is a 45 year old woman with three children, Jackson, Oliver, and Crystal. Tina’s relationships have changed from young adulthood to middle adulthood. Tina’s three adult children live in her house with her. Tina’s ex-husband left her for a younger more attractive female. So Tina is now very obsessed with keeping her appearance up. She spends many hours at the gym working out, and a lot of time running, obsessing over staying in shape. Tina has not been satisfied with her progress at the gym so she has increased her exercising routine to 4 hours a day, which leaves less time to spend with the man she is dating, Michael. She is so obsessed with exercising and the way she looks it is affecting their relationship. She also spends a lot of time away from Michael, whom she has been dating for 5 years. Michael wants to marry Tina, but has second thoughts because of her lifestyle and the fact that...

...Young and Middle Adulthood Case Studies Gloria Cena BSHS 325 September 17, 2015 Marco Esteem Young and Middle Adulthood Case Studies There are many changes a person needs to go through during the process of young and middle adulthood. Individuals will usually experience young and middle adulthood between the age range of 23 to 45, but may last up until the age of 50. During this time individuals will begin to establish an independent identity to separate themselves from others. Individuals will also start to attain certain life goals such as a family and dream job. Everyone is different and may experience young and middle adulthood at very different ages. This can be caused by an individual's psychological and environmental factors. Tina's study case is an example of that. Tina is a 45 year old single mother of three adult children. She is divorced, but is in a relationship with a man that is the same age as she is. She is currently having problems with her adult son that has had run ins with the law and is currently participating in a rehab program. Her son resides in her home but is not motivated to look for work or contribute in any way. Tina spends most of her time working out at the gym. Tina cannot see the harm she is causing to herself and those around her. As mentioned before, Tina is divorced. Her husband left her for much younger and attractive females. She has become self conscience about her appearance that she is obsessed with exercising...

...policy. 2) Employee conditions: a. Lack of motivation b. Compensate for low wages by over indulgence of free food allowance c. High turnover rate due to availability of high application rates. d. Employees are mostly college and high school students e. Lack of respect for managers. f. No incentive to increase motivation. In the case study Perfect Pizzeria, the area supervisor has many problems that need his attention. The largest appears to be the organization. In this case study I will assume that the area supervisor has the authority to affect change within his organization (i.e. he is the franchise owner). Being in an area with few job opportunities should give him the perfect opportunity to recruit bright, ambitious, and motivated people to staff his pizzerias. How can the area supervisor change his organization to achieve a more fluid corporate culture? I think this change can be achieved by human resource changes, structure changes, motivational changes, and reward for good performance as well as accountability for poor performance. Each one of these areas will require a change from the corporate level. For the sake of my case study I am going to assume that the area supervisor (franchise owner) can lobby to achieve this change within the organization. The first area to look...

...letters in industry or for a class, knowing your purpose and audience will help determine what information to include. Generally, business letters follow a particular format, although your instructor or company may require you to use alternative formats. This guide provides writers with an introduction to writing business letters. Case Studies: This guide examines case studies, a form of qualitative descriptive research that is used to look at individuals, a small group of participants, or a group as a whole. Researchers collect data about participants using participant and direct observations, interviews, protocols, tests, examinations of records, and collections of writing samples. Starting with a definition of the case study, the guide moves to a brief history of this research method. Using several well documented case studies, the guide then looks at applications and methods including data collection and analysis. A discussion of ways to handle validity, reliability, and generalizability follows, with special attention to case studies as they are applied to composition studies. Finally, this guide examines the strengths and weaknesses of case studies. Desktop Publishing: Desktop publishing is the process of laying out and designing pages with your desktop computer.

...Brussels and Bradshaw In response to the case study, Brussels and Bradshaw is a well-established financial institution that offers their clients competitive and innovative solutions for their community and work environments. The banking institution offers a summer internship to bright and driven individuals. The internship includes 14 weeks of very intense training and long hours. Interns are paid $20,000 for the contract. During the screening process, out of all the possible candidates Audrey Locke was selected. Audrey has some experience as an assistant, assurance analyst and financial planning analyst. Brussels and Bradshaw is operating in more than 25 countries globally; this case study takes place in Toronto. Many behavioral issues in the Brussels and Bradshaw institution are unprofessional and stressful. Job stress is defined as feeling one’s capabilities, resources, or needs that do not match the demands or requirements of the job (Hitt, Miller, & Colella, 2011 p. 249). Working 70 and 80 hours per week or possibly 120 hours will put a major burden on anyone, especially someone new to the working environment.

Although associates consider her human resources, Kelly’s job is strictly administrative. Audrey is never introduced to her mentor and her buddy, Christine Page is very...

...Research Case Study: Vodafone's Youth Market | | INTRODUCTION This case study will explain how the highly competitive telecommunications market lead Vodafone to set up an on-going 'panel' of respondents to give them a greater understanding of the youth market. THE CLIENT Vodafone is probably the biggest success story of the telecommunications market, becoming a household name with a penetration of 29% (TNS Telecoms panel Q3 2001) of the mobile phone market. Vodafone's media and planning agency, OMD UK plays an important strategic role in terms of researching the commercial market. THE CHALLENGE Operating in such a highly competitive industry meant that Vodafone had to look at new ways of researching how it could best profit from the hugely competitive youth market. The youth market is defined as anyone aged between 16-24 years old. Currently 90% of all 16-24 year olds own a mobile phone in the UK, amounting to 6.1m people in the UK. THE SOLUTION OMD UK, along with 2CV Research, recruited a panel of volunteers who receive monthly questionnaires over a long-term period in order to build up a profile of habits, attitudes and opinions of the young Vodafone user. The panel is made up of 200 respondents, all of whom must have an email address and a mobile phone (this is 85% of the youth market), and is maintained by 2CV. Questions sent out every month cover a whole range of areas, not just telecommunications. The idea is to build a very comprehensive picture of...
