...CASE STUDY I: A real estate company owns 800 acres of undeveloped land on a scenic lake in the heart of the Aravalli mountains. In the past, little or no regulation was applied to new developments around the lake. The lake shores are now dotted with vacation homes and hotels. Because the lack of sewage service, septic tanks are in extensive use, most of which are not properly constructed. Seepage from the tanks has resulted in a severe water pollution problem. To curb the degradation in the quality of water, the municipal authorities have approved stringent ordinances applicable to future developments. The new regulations are: • Only single, double and triple family homes can be constructed, with single family homes accounting for at least 50% of the total. • To limit the number of septic tanks, minimum lot sizes of 2, 3 and 4 acres are required for single, double and triple family homes respectively. • Recreation areas of 1 acre each must be established at the rate of 1 area per 200 families. • To preserve the ecology of the lake, underground water may not be pumped for house or garden use. The company is studying the possibility of developing the 800 acres it owns. The new development will include single, double and triple family homes. It is estimated that 15% of the acreage will be used up as utilities and streets. The company estimates the returns from the different housing units as: Housing unit Single family Double...

...In this essay I am going to look at the case study which was discussed within my group in class. The one which I have chosen to do and develop I will also go onto explain what I feel the cause of the persons symptoms are and then go onto construct a hypnoanalysis treatment plan for this person. I will also go on to discuss what I feel would be the required outcome of this case. I will also take into account any ethical issues that may arise. The case study I have chosen is Mr X. He is a 32 year old male client. Mr X’s symptoms are sleeping difficulties, low self esteem and problems sustaining a long term relationship. Mr X has never had a very good relationship with his father and he never seemed to receive any sense of approval from him in whatever he did with his life. He qualified as an accountant on leaving school but has now qualified as a nurse which is something he really enjoys doing. Mr X has felt that his father always thought that he could do better, never encouraged him and when he announced he was training to be a nurse, his father said “Why didn’t you train to be a doctor then?”. What ever he does isn’t good enough for him. Mr X believes his childhood feelings of being undervalued have affected him deeply and these feelings have carried on into his adult life. H knows there is a connection between these emotions and his low self esteem and sustaining a long term relationship. We talk through the notification form and discover this relationship that...

...Case Study #1 Jennifer is a 29-year-old administrative assistant married to Antonio, an Italian engineer, whom Jennifer met four years earlier while on a business trip for her marketing company. The couple now lives in Nebraska, where Antonio works for the county's transportation department and Jennifer commutes an hour each way to her marketing office. They have been trying to start a family for over a year. Eight months ago, Jennifer miscarried in her second month of pregnancy. Antonio's parents love Jennifer and often ask her if she is expecting again, hoping to encourage her to focus on her next baby. Jennifer's mother passed away two years ago and her father's health is rapidly deteriorating. Jennifer faces the probability of placing her father in a skilled nursing care facility within the next few months, against his wishes. At work, Jennifer runs a tight ship. She is organized and prepares lists to assure that everything is done according to schedule. Everyone counts on Jennifer and she takes pride in never letting people down. Jennifer has visited her physician numerous times in the last six months, complaining of headaches, backaches, and indigestion. Jennifer insists that she is happy and is not feeling stressed, yet she finds herself making more mistakes at work, unable to keep up with housework, and feeling tired and overwhelmed; she has begun to question her effectiveness as an employee, wife, daughter, and potential mother. Her pains seem to be increasing...

...essay, I will discuss several issues that seem to bind nursing practice with questions of ethics, sociology and management. Reflective practice is an important aspect of nursing management and in this essay we discuss implications of discrimination in nursing care and examine the importance of anti-discriminatory perspectives in nursing. In this paper, the case study I will elaborate is of an elderly woman who was of a non-British ethnic origin and spoke little English. A junior nurse visited her home to provide care but her attitude towards the patient has been discriminatory and abrupt, a situation that calls for serious reflection on the issues of racial discrimination at the clinical setting. The patient was apparently treated with leg ulcer. The questions that have to be considered here are: Where in the observation did discrimination occur and how this could have affected the delivery of care given? And how has discrimination influenced the lady’s care? The concept of anti-discriminatory practice as a contemporary issue within adult nursing is discussed here considering observational evidence and similar case studies. Reflection in Nursing: Reflective practice in nursing is guided by models of reflection. Reflective practice model serves as a framework within which nursing or other management professions can work. Reflective practice model is also a structural framework or learning model that serves the purposes of a profession and is particularly applicable to health...

...Case Study 1: The Union’s Demand for Recognition and Bargaining Rights Sean Kail Columbia Southern University This case study is from 1975 and regards a union trying to recruits new members from an apartment building and townhouse complex. There are 11 employees that work for the Thomas Hall the property manager, in which he did not want involved in any union matters so he passed the burden onto the vice president Carl Alton. The maintenance supervisor got wind of the union trying to recruit the employees and started asking questions. Melton called and confronts multiple employees about the alleged union meetings. Melton was released by the company 15 days after the alleged phone calls and questionings. The union alleged the company violated Section 8(a)(1) of the LMRA, in which they repeatedly interrogated employees. Melton did call and question multiple employees when he got wind of the union; he was definitely in violation of the LMRA, if such were true. The company claimed that they were unaware of Melton questioning the employees and since he was let go the union can not use his actions against them. Also with the election not being held for another 36 days after Melton was let go his actions had no influence on the employee’s decisions. Melton did state “You are either on my side of the fence or your side of the fence… You always had is good. I have given you… you got a nice job, you got an apartment… this is your last chance.” (Ivancevich J. p503). That...

...Case Study Analysis: Case 10-2 La Jolla Software, Inc. Kenneth Schiff BUS 600: Management Communication with Technology Tools Professor Sherrie Lewis 12/ 12/2011 Case Study Analysis: Case 10-2 La Jolla Software, Inc LaJolla Software recently received a fax from Masahiro Fudaba, a senior Vice President of Ichi Ban Heavy Industries in Japan. For several months LaJolla Software Inc. executives were targeting several Japanese firms for a joint venture that would permit the company to distribute its famous "S-4" supply chain management software in Japan and, perhaps, throughout much of Asia (O'Rourke, 2010, p. 293). The fax explained that the multiple stakeholders of Ichi Ban have an interest in a joint venture with La Jolla Software Inc. However, before proceeding, Ichi Ban will send Kazushi Yakura and a team of eight managers from Ichi Ban to visit LaJolla. While Yakura will leave in a few days, the team of eight managers will remain in the United States until we have reached an agreement. We have limited information regarding our visitors; age, education, prior work experience, and job titles is all we know. We do not know how long the transition team will be in the United States, because we do not know how long it will take to reach an agreement. We do not know how much English, if any, they know, or if they will have a translator. Since we don't have access to this information our ability to maintain cultural sensitivity (O'Rourke...

...Jesse Dove CCJS 100 Research Paper Case Study 1 – Murder 13December2013 Case Study One, Murder It’s sad to think about but each and every day someone in this country gets murdered. Violence seems to flood our streets and pollute our society. It doesn’t matt why either, it could be over drugs, money, or disputes. This is something I find unacceptable but see no end in sight to. As we will see in the case study I will present on one particular murder I will explain my views of the case and what I believe to be the proper punishment. I chose the murder of a man and a women named Rodney Hill and Lucy Wolf. From what little details I have it seems that the incident occurred due to a jealous husband acting on his anger with the use of deadly force. It documented how a restraining order was already placed on Ms. Lane’s former husband due to previous problems with physical and mental abuse. In my opinion I believe this might have been what triggered James T. Lane, a bartender and her former husband to lash out in rage. Both Ms. Lane and her new intimate relationship partner Mr. Hill were found dead due to multiple stabbings after her neighbor called police when he heard loud commotion and yelling that ended in screaming. Once police arrived on scene they found both Ms. Lane and Mr. Hill dead at her residence, the death appeared to be caused due to multiple stab wounds on both individuals. Mr. Wolf also reported to police a description of a vehicle that matched Mr. Lanes automobile...

...Cranston Supply Budget Mike A. Howard INF 336 Project Procurement Management Dr. Arman Kanooni June 1, 2014 Granston Supply Budget This week’s assignment consists of a case study of the city of Graston. From the case study I am to create a project supply and materials budget based on the information in the case study using the ‘Current Year Q-3’ data found in Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3. Also included in this assignment will be an explanation on the importance of a materials supply budget and the impact of the budget on the supply organization. For any successfully business or organization there is an emphases placed on the supply budget which a lot of times will determine the success or failure of a company. Robert Simons of Harvard University published an article in which he gave a brief explanation of a budget it stated “A budget is an ex ante formal statement, generally determined by negotiation and approved by management, of the resource inflows and outflows expected during the budget period. Thus, it is an explicit contract outlining expectations between superior and ^subordinate” (Simons, R. 1988). Every organization needs to have a vision, goals and a plan without those three elements they risk certain failure. So for the material supply budget of any business it has to start with a vision of what they (the company) is trying to achieve. Secondly there needs to be a plan or steps on how they will (the company) reach their goals. For all business the need...

The most difficult part was to summarize it only 500 word each case study which had a lot of vital information. But eventually I did it. I tried my best to cover all the important points. I have always been very inquisitive about the word strategies. It can be used in many things like game, work, business and many more.

...Case Study Method by Saul McLeod email icon published 2008 Case studies are in-depth investigations of a single person, group, event or community. Typically data are gathered from a variety of sources and by using several different methods (e.g. observations & interviews). The case study research method originated in clinical medicine (the case history, i.e. the patient’s personal history). The case study method often involves simply observing what happens to, or reconstructing ‘the case history’ of a single participant or group of individuals (such as a school class or a specific social group), i.e. the idiographic approach. Case studies allow a researcher to investigate a topic in far more detail than might be possible if they were trying to deal with a large number of research participants (nomothetic approach) with the aim of ‘averaging’. The case study is not itself a research method, but researchers select methods of data collection and analysis that will generate material suitable for case studies such as qualitative techniques (unstructured interviews, participant observation, diaries), personal notes (e.g. letters, photographs, notes) or official document (e.g. case notes, clinical notes, appraisal reports). The data collected can be analyzed using different theories (e.g. grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis, text interpretation (e.g. thematic coding) etc. All the approaches mentioned here use preconceived categories in the...

...Unit 1 – Understanding MIS Theodora Wilson American InterContinental University Abstract Information systems are used globally with efficient effective ways starting with management as they utilize the four competitive strategies to compete in businesses. The organizations and their use of technology to collaborate and succeed in the market all depends on how their information systems are set up. Introduction Understanding Information systems in the world of businesses assists in creating success for the stock holders, stake holders, and the consumer. This paper will answer questions based on four case studies. The case studies presented are based on smart grids, collaboration and innovation, how much a company knows about you, and the consequences of texting. Case Study I – Smart Grids Smart grids were developed as the twenty-first century automated form of electrical output to consumers. Smart Grids are used to deliver electricity from the supplier to the consumer using digital technology. This means using an automated system through a computer generated information network from power plants and wind farms to the customer in their homes and businesses. Utilizing smart grids in this fashion is different from the current electricity infrastructure as far as not using transmission lines to telephone poles to meters. (Kenneth c. Laudon, 2012) Developing a smart grid requires management of information. Technology is needed to operate the network...

...REFLECTIVE JOURNAL As I look back on my case study and the preparation, I m amazed to find that I learned a lot from this case study. I learned a great deal throughout the entire exercise. This was my first case study of studying nursing; therefore I didn’t have much experience in writing this type of assignment. During the course of writing this case studying there are some positives which helped to finish this assignment on time, although I couldn’t submit for feedback. I finished whole case one before the submission date. And also there some difficulties and things which I have to correct for next time if I have to write this type of assignment. First I will write about positive things which I found helped me finishing this case study on time. Case study started on 17 th September, when I went ward for this I was clear of my objectives and goal to achieve. I got chance to select any patient I want from any where I choose, so I have chosen the patient from same ward I m working. Therefore I was very familiar with patients and their relatives, especially disease condition of the patients. I have chosen a patient whom I was caring since her admission. But for the case study I needed more than just routine caring but patient. Thus very easily that patient has given verbal consent to make case study on her disease condition. I built good rapport with the patient which made it easily to communicate and give health education to her. Next things is I got so much support...

...reasons for not addressing may be due to avoidance, tolerance, Employees fear of escalating conflict, Employee thinks that there may not be any change and they also fear of reactions from their manager. In Case Study "Cape Trafalgar" parties involved in the conflict are fishermen and two companies willing to build huge windmills at the sea shore. Suppressed conflict is on construction of windmills. These companies never involved in discussion or considered the concerns of fishermen and when fishermen approached many officials to express their concerns, they didn’t communicate back to them. Manuel Bustos is one of the officials for windmill production, he never resolved the basic issues of fishermen and he stated to his group to influence the fishermen by telling benefit of the project. In our case fishermen are ready, but government and wind organizations are still discussing and not cooperative to surface conflict. Problems occur if such situations are ignored: If the situations are ignored, it may turn even worse and employees refuse to work, poor coordination and integration. Employees become demotivated and in turn loss to the company since cost factor increases with these situations, there is will be no creativity and innovation in organization of employees. In Case Study "Cape Trafalgar" if the situation is the same i.e., ignoring. Fisher men may revolt against Government and Organizations. Already Fisher men are hostile towards the actions carried with them and this will...

...A case studies a student's disruptive behavior. I’d like to take make a case study of a person I shall call Max. Now Max is a student who is normally a good student but has a I think I know everything type attitude so sometimes he becomes a disruption for he likes to show off to the class with his storehouse of knowledge and can sometimes test the teacher’s patience. In this case study I shall go through the behavior cycle as listed in our textbook, “Lee Canter’s Classroom Management for Academic Success.” For instance the first part of the cycle mentions using explicit directions or to communicate your instructions clearly and that a teacher cannot afford be vague when issuing directions in what he/she would like to have the class do. In this case, the teacher tells the class to go to their seats and begins to work on their worksheet on the planet Saturn. Max starts out going to his seat but stops to make a commentary on Debbie’s attire and then gets to his seat and then starts his assignment but then stops his work and starts to tell the class all he knows about Saturn. Now according to the text he did do what he was told but he did it his way and on his time frame. This is because the teacher did not give explicit enough instructions. A sample of this would be, class, go directly to your seats to not talk and get to work on your worksheet on the planet Saturn until you have finished the assignment. Using explicit directions...
