Therefore, all employees should be made aware of the company’s policy on professional conduct so that they wouldn’t engage in activities that can cause harm to the professionalism of any organization. According to the case study Ms. Pruitt is an elementary teacher for mentally challenged children was considered not fit to teach. In our text it states that Ms. Pruitt worked with mentally challenged children for a total of thirteen years. During that time frame she had nothing but positive feedback from the school principle and was often acknowledge as a reliable teacher. I do feel that the Board of Education did violate Ms. Pruitt’s rights to privacy and didn’t have any valid reason to fire her. An undercover police officer decided to show up to the “swingers” party and decided to charge Ms. Pruitt with oral copulation. Ms. Pruitt then paid her fine and was reinstated to teach. However, two years later the Board of Education decided that her behavior was immoral and that she shouldn’t teach around students. My argument is if that was the case why the Board of Education didn’t keep her teaching license, why wait until two years later to take action. It seems to me that the Board of Education are the ones being immoral. I feel that Ms. Pruitt’s lifestyle is private matter and that her sexual orientation had nothing to...

FINAL OBSERVATIONS Robert Baral**COUNSELING**case study – Depression**4/02/2004 AD**page 3 I. PRESENTATION OF THE PATIENT We are presented with an elderly woman with a history of long term Multiple Sclerosis, married 40 years, presenting with severe depression and suicidal gestures. The patient agreed to therapy on the advice of 1 of her 3 sons for the complaint of “difficulty relating to her husband.” The patient raised her 3 now adult sons mostly by herself due to her husband’s 20 year career in the Merchant Marines. The patient had periods of severe anger towards her husband apparently because of his alleged lack of emotional support and love. When she engaged in self harm to gain his attention, that having failed, the patient apparently progressed to increasingly severe forms of suicidal gesturing. The husband’s response was, not to offer the emotional attention and love the patient craved, but rather to arrange for commitment of his wife to a psychiatric facility. The patient and her husband had recently moved 60 miles from their long time home where she had a school support job that yielded great satisfaction...

...Case Analysis of Case Study 3.1: HY DAIRIES, INC Linda Sanchez MGMT 645 Organizational Development & Culture Dr. Laughron January 12, 2014 Apply your knowledge of stereotyping and social identity theory to explain what went wrong here. On first glance this case may appear as if Mr.Gilman has stereotyped Mr.Beauport. However, there does not appear any evidence of stereotyping throughout the case such as having a history of making racial slurs towards any ethnic group. Mr. Gilman’s decision in offering Ms. Beauport the marketing research coordinator’s position does not appear to contain malicious intentions behind it. On the contrary, he seems to be sincere in offering the position for future advancements within the company. Personal experience may have made Ms. Beauport jump to the conclusion that her employer would not accordingly promote her due to the color of her skin and gender. Society’s definition of racial and gender stereotyping is typically towards minorities, such as Latinos or African Americans, or females. This case does not easily follow the “typical” image of racial stereotyping. Some may argue that Ms. Beauport is stereotyping Mr. Gilman as a sexists and racists Caucasian man. Our textbook describes social identity is a way in which people define themselves by the groups to which they belong or have an emotional attachment (McShane & Von Glinow, 2013). It focuses on the different ways people...

...sclerosis. Although, the title of the study appears long, it is complete and accurate. Specifically, the title implies that the qualitative study was conducted on the participants after they received medical help in order to determine their perceptions of the Blue prescription as an intervention for enhancing levels of physical activity. Study Abstract An abstract refers to a brief summary of a concluded research. A proper abstract inspires the reader to scan through the research purposely to learn more about what the investigation was all about. The abstract contains the following primary elements of the research: the problem statement; the significance of physical activity among patients with multiple sclerosis; the methodology; results; and the scientific gap of adopting the Blue prescription as a way of ensuring that patients overcome the problem. Although, the study abstract is comprehensive, and has relevant keywords, it is not complete due to the lack of limitations of the study. Introduction and Study Objectives The introduction to the research study is spot on, in the sense that it offers a deep insight into the topic being studied. The authors began by highlighting the rationale and importance of the health benefits of physical activity among patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS); suggesting that, though previous studies discouraged physical activity among persons having chronic health complications, recent research studies have proven otherwise (Smith et al...

...these qualities in their culture. The opera values flexibility, and has tailored their business model to allow for adjustments in both the size of the opera and fundraising projects. This allows for them adjust their operations in a timely manner as needed in order to meet profitability goals. The general nature of the opera fosters the creativity that is required for the adhocracy culture, since they are an arts program. The opera focuses less on their budget and more on their fixed assets than the symphony. The opera is also externally focused out of need. A majority of their income comes from ticket sales, so they must deliver enough high-quality performances to please the customers. Additionally, the opera is structured in such a way that decisions lie with a variety of directors who have the skills and knowledge to make decisions about their departments (DeLong, 2005). The Utah Symphony is a hierarchy culture. A hierarchy culture is one that is internally focused and emphasizes stability and control. They value standardization, control, and a well-defined structure for authority and decision making. This is supported by having Chairman of the board and a music director. The hierarchy culture also puts more emphasis on monitoring people and processes. The symphony shows these qualities in their culture. The symphony is presently classified as a Group II, but the director is attempting to turn it into a Group I symphony. The symphony is made more stable by the fact...

...Case study for NutroBalance. Purpose The purpose of this case study is to get you used to incorporating Microsoft Project charts and reports into your project’s progress reports. By now you should be able to work through the mechanics of loading tasks, predecessors, resources, and costs into MS Project. But the real challenge facing project managers is how to interpret the data in MS Project and how to make it “useful” for you and your stakeholders. In this case study you will be given a scenario and asked to load the project information into Microsoft Project. However, the purpose of this case study is bigger than just properly loading the Microsoft Project file. This case study requires you to interpret the MS Project results and incorporate the issues and results in your communication with key stakeholders. Your output of this case study explores the “softer” side of project management, including how to communicate your results to your key stakeholders in a clear and concise manner. The point of the case study is to show you that projects experience change over time, which forces you, the project manager, to modify and adapt your project. This case study is broken into three sections, Sections 1, 2, and 3. In each section you will be given some information on your project and then asked to “respond” to some of your stakeholders. Even though there are three sections in the case study, you will only submit ONE document, due Week 6. This document will include your answers...

Ms. Russell forms an enthusiastic team that works extra hours to compile management changes that would allow employees at all levels to make decisions appropriate to their positions. However, When the recommendations are presented to department heads, they receive a cold reception when Mr. Griffin is called away from the meeting. Ms. Russell is now faced with the problem of implementing change against the resistance of the mid-level management.

...Case Study Analysis Carla Buckner Dr. Tom Steinhagen BUS 600 January 30 2012 In the case of Case 10-1 Oak Brook Medical Systems, Inc., a successful Hospital Supply Division is experiencing a shift in demographics due to frustration among management and lack of effective communication skills while engaging with employees. Effective communication skills can increase productivity among employees and create a healthy work environment. Ms. Harris is a successful manager of a relatively new division bringing in $40 million business deals. Ms. Harris has been an excellent asset to the company; she is hard working and is looking to move up. Although Ms. Harris has made great achievements in her life, she has poor communication skills with her employees. Her employees have stated that she is curt, sometimes defensive and overwhelming with facts. This makes Ms. Harris unapproachable and hard to work for. Employees feel that they are being talked down to. Ms. Harris is frustrated with senior management’s lack of attention to her successful division. Ms. Harris has many assumptions about management and their reasoning for overlooking her division. Ms. Harris feels she is being discriminated against racially and by gender. Furthermore, Ms. Harris does not know that her employees find her difficult to work with. Most importantly, upper manager is focused on numbers rather than creating a productive and open work environment. Ms. Harris and upper management...

...This Case study is an example of what happens when life gets in the way. Mr. Rogers originally called a meeting with Jeff Dean and Celeste Brown to go over any questions the Mr. Dean had in regards to the survey findings. Mr. Rogers had to excuse himself from the meeting for personal reasons and instructed Ms. Brown to find out what questions Mr. Dean had. He then instructed her to run the analysis and they would go over the results the following day. Ms. Brown ended up with six questions that Mr. Dean was especially interested in. (Burns, A., Bush, R. (2006) p518) The problem with this case study is even though Ms. Brown may be a competent employee she isn’t Mr. Rogers. Mr. Rogers called the meeting and has his own agenda in regards to the survey findings. Unless Mr. Brown and Mr. Rogers are on the exact same page she may not be able to determine the right questions that Mr. Dean may ask: furthermore, her analysis may be in complete depending on what information she has taken form Mr. Dean. Mr. Rogers should have rescheduled the meeting so that he could ensure all pertinent areas regarding the results of the survey and questions were adequately addressed. The strengths of this case are apparent in that it is assumed that Ms. Brown has a good understanding of what Mr. Rogers wants. If she is able to accurately gather the information from Mr. Dean in regards to his concerns about the survey, then her analysis should be accurate: however this will not be known...

...Piaget developed the theory that the best way to study children was in their natural environment. The aim of this assignment is to study children in their natural environment just as Piaget and gain first hand evidence of their developmental process. The procedure for this experiment is to document the actions observed and to use the observations as evidence for the child study. To gain an efficient amount of evidence the observation must consist of at least 20 hours but the hours must be spread out within a 2-4 month time span. The student is observed in the same setting, so he is comfortable enough to “act natural.” The first class I observed was Ms. Alison’s class which consisted of 12 boys and 2 girls, age 4. Ms. Alison is a new inexperienced teacher. The second class I observed was Ms. Corney’s class which consisted of 9 girls and 8 boys, age 5. Ms. Alison is an experienced teacher, of whom has been teaching for 5+ years. During the instructed time in each class, observation will be taken of the students peer to peer communication, academic ability during curriculum activities and each child’s individual progress within their own development. The student I observed is an African American/Hispanic, male age 5. He can understand Spanish and is learning English. For the sake of this experiment I will refer to the student as “Michael.” He has black hair and dark brown eyes. Michael is high energized, happy boy whom enjoys playing with toy cars. He is learning to communication...

...MS and pregnancy The diagnosis of MS should not prevent you from becoming a parent but for this purpose it is very important to consult your doctor and your family. MS affects people who have or are planning to start a family, but more often women than men. This raises many questions about causal relationship between MS and pregnancy. Although, many years ago, women with multiple sclerosis are advised to avoid pregnancy that their condition would not worsened, but today we access different insights. Studies conducted over the past few decades have shown that the symptoms of multiple sclerosis can be alleviated or even disappear during pregnancy. The analysis of works that report about 13 144 women with MS revealed the following data: * MS has no effect on pregnancy. * No increase in negative symptoms nor for mother nor for the child. * Woman with MS can expect a normal pregnancy and normal delivery. For all these reasons, women with MS, especially those with mild neurological deficits, should be encouraged to become pregnant as soon as possible due to the progressive flow of the disease. It is important to break down some of the prejudices that exist and women provide the necessary information: 1. Does MS affect on the fertility of women? 2. Does MS affect on pregnancy and the baby's health? 3. Is it possible to apply spinal or epidural anesthesia during childbirth? 4. Is it recommended breastfeeding and is it safe? 5. Does pregnancy...

Every nrve fibre in the brain and spinal cord is surrounded by a layer of protein called myelin which protects the nerve and helps electrical signals from the brain travel to the rest of the body. In MS, the myelin becomes damaged. This disrupts the transfer the transfer of these nerve signals,causing a wide range of potential symptoms such as: * numbness and tingling * blurring of vision * problems with mobility and balance * muscle weakness and tightness * MS can damage nerve fibres in your brain and spinal cord, which can cause muscles to contract tightly and painfully (spasm). Your muscles may also become stiff and resistant to movement, which is known as spasticity. * Neuropathic pain – caused by damage to the nerve fibres in the brain and spinal cord. It can be a stabbing pain, extreme skin sensitivity, or a burning sensation. * difficulty emptying the bladder completely * having to urinate more frequently * having a sudden, urgent need to urinate which can lead to unintentionally passing urine (urge incontinence) Treatment There’s no cure for MS but there are different ways to manage...
