Socially Conscious Business Case Study
Assume that you work in a medium-sized company that wishes to become more socially conscious. Your supervisor, Sahra Omar, has asked you and your

colleagues to interview an organization or a person who is engaged in social justice work. The goal of the interview is to make a recommendation to your

supervisor about possible business connections to the social justice work you have investigated. Would connections with the person or organization you

interviewed be a good option for a business that wishes to become more socially conscious?
You should identify a person or a group (who works for social justice) to interview. You should prepare professional questions that lead to understanding

the social justice work of the person or group.Informational interviews are a wonderful way to learn more about a topic from someone who is an expert in

their field. You should leave the interview with a clear idea of what the problem is that the organization is addressing, how they are addressing this

problem, and what other people can do in their daily lives to help the cause of this organization. You will then write a formal email to your case study

supervisor, recommending a course of action in regard to her request to find ways for the organization to become more socially conscious.
Process for this Project:
1. Choose someone or some group who works for social justice to interview. If you do not know someone, then consider contacting someone by phone or

email from one of the following organizations:
o Dress for Success: https://www.dressforsuccess.org/
o Salvation Army: http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/
o Human Rights Watch: https://www.hrw.org/
o Grassroots International: https://grassrootsonline.org/
o Room to Read: http://www.roomtoread.org/
o Pratham: http://pratham.org/default.aspx
o Tostan: http://www.tostan.org/
2. You may interview in person, on social media. by phone, by Google-Hang-Outs or Skype, by Google Chats or via email. Here is more info. for you on

formal interviews (https://career.berkeley.edu/Info/InfoInterview)
3. Here are some interview questions to get you started:
o What is the social justice problem that you are addressing?
o How do you advocate for solutions to the social justice problem?
o What role does resistance have in your social justice work—do you ever refuse to participate?
o What advice do you have for people who want to help the cause of this organization?
(You should have a total of 10 questions ready, even if you do not use all of
them.)
4. Write a formal email to your supervisor, assessing how feasible or important it would be for your business to connect with the social justice

person/group that you interviewed. Inform your supervisor of the work of the person or organization that you interviewed and use persuasive language to

advocate for your position on whether this would be a good group for your business to connect with or not. This email should be drafted, revised, and

edited in Word (then copied and pasted into the email), should be no more than 200 words, should be formally addressed to Ms. Omar, and clearly written

with ZERO grammar errors. For more information on writing formal emails, see: http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Formal-Email

 

 

 

This assignment will focus on the application and analysis of developmental theories of childhood. This paper should be written correctly in APA style in paragraph/essay form with references. Length should be between 5-6 pages. However, the paper should NOT exceed 6 pages (not including the references and cover pages). You should have at least 5 SUPPORTING ARTICLES on your choices of theory and client issue in your references as well as any other sources used including the textbook and any website cited.

For this paper you will choose an issue with which a client might present. Some examples are: adolescent skipping school and experimenting with alcohol, a toddler refusing to potty train, a boy with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, A child adopted from an international orphanage at 9 years old, a physical or learning disability, a pre-teen girl with behavioral issues and fighting at school, etc. These are a few examples. You can be creative. You may use a client from one of your internships, but it isn’t necessary if you don’t have one or want to work a different issue. Then you will choose three theories discussed in the text that can help a worker better understand the client in a developmental perspective and the possible treatment interventions. Use the outline below to structure your paper. Use the headings provides and make sure to answer all bullets in each section.

Introduction

Summarize the client issue in 1-2 sentences. It can be a completely made up scenario.
Write 1 sentence naming the three theories you will discuss in your paper
Theory Critique

Write one paragraph for each theory reviewing the major aspects of the theory. Who first developed the theory? What are the major points and stages in the theory. Use outside sources to support your assertions about the theory.
Write 1 paragraph explaining the major similarities and differences in the three theories.
Theory Application

Explain how each theory would apply to the client issue.
How does this theory help us understand the client’s issue and developmental stage?
How does this theory relate to intervention? How could you use the information in each theory to help the client? What intervention would you use?

Corporate Governance at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia: Not “A Good Thing”

A case study analysis must not just summarize the case. It should identify key issues and problems, and outline and assess alternative courses

of action.

In this case, you will look more closely at corporate governance. Specifically, you will learn that you need corporate governance in an

organization along with how this controls different decisions. You will look also at the internal and external mechanisms.

In addition to the requirements for the analysis of a case study covered below, please specifically answer the following questions:

How did Stewart’s control of the board interfere with directors’ carrying out their fiduciary duties?

What changes in the makeup of the board would have improved governance?

How might changes in corporate bylaws have improved governance?

Format: Must include these headers

Title page

Company and Situation: Describe the Company and Situation
To begin your case study analysis, discuss the critical incidents that have contributed to the current position of the company. Here you must

identify the most important facts surrounding the case .
Does the problem or challenge facing the company come from a changing environment, new opportunity, a declining market share, or inefficient

internal or external business processes?

Strengths, Weaknesses and Alternatives: Identify Strengths and Weaknesses as well as Alternatives
Examine the value creation functions of the company and specify alternative courses of action.
List the courses of action the company can take to solve its problem or meet the challenge it faces. What changes to organizational processes

would be required by each alternative? What management policy would be required to implement each alternative?

Remember, there is a difference between what an organization “should do” and what that organization actually “can do.” Some solutions are too

expensive or operationally difficult to implement, and you should avoid solutions that are beyond the organization’s resources. Important:

Identify the constraints that will limit the solutions available. Is each alternative executable given these constraints?

Implementations: Analyze Implementations This portion of the case study analysis requires that you identify and analyze the structure and

control systems that the company is using to implement its business strategies. Evaluate organizational change, levels of hierarchy, employee

rewards, conflicts, and other issues that are important to the company you are analyzing.

Recommendations: Make Recommendations The final part of your case study analysis should include your recommendations for the company. Every

recommendation you make should be based on and supported by the context of your case study analysis, i.e., what you have already written.
