...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.

As you may have heard recently in the business press, he stepped back in as CEO to take over Dell after stepping down a few years ago. Dell and his current turn-around efforts always focus on Staying Number One. Tackling Tough Issues Dell found out soon enough that necessity is the mother of invention. "I learned by doing and by making mistakes. And I got smart people to help," he says. Today Dell is a $57 billion company, with the leading market share in the United States. In March 2004, at age 39, Dell stepped down as CEO (he remained chairman) and continued to focus on research and technology. But soon there were signs of trouble. The company began losing market share because of competition from much more aggressive rivals such as Hewlett-Packard and Lenovo. Dell was also criticized for poor customer service. It's now facing investigations into its accounting practices by the SEC and a U.S. Attorney. This past January, the struggles forced Dell, now 42; to return to the company he founded, to tackle the issues head-on. In 48 hours, he'd put in a new management team. Of his marketing brainchild -- sell directly to the customer -- Dell told employees in an e-mail: "The Direct Model has been a revolution, but it is not a religion." He intends to improve it and look for new manufacturing and distribution models. The goal...

...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...

Organizing also involves grouping people into work units and specifying job responsibilities and allocating resources to the proper positions to achieve a common goal. Organizing plays a major role in the management process. Once the planning process has completed it is time to start the organizing.

When it comes to my company and the physical assets of the business this is handled by my operations manager along with my logistics manager as well. While we are always in the process of trying to acquire new business and open new locations this money of course has to be allocated by our financial officer. At one point in time we had an on-site building maintenance person but this position is no longer being filled. Now when there things that have to be fixed we have to call in outside help and of course this is costing more than it would to have an actual employee do the work. So now management has to figure out a way to keep all of our assets as far as physical, mechanical equipment up to par without spending a lot of money.
