As described in Chapter 3 in the Public Value Scorecard text, the Department of Revenue in Minnesota implemented an invest/divest strategy in an attempt to change the oversight process. The purpose of this strategy was an attempt to critically examine the Department and its mission while directing internal resources to the highest priorities before requesting additional funding. In your initial post:

• Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the Department.
• Identify the outcomes which the Department and Division wanted to see accomplished and outcomes measured.
• List the pros and cons of implementing this strategy.

Social workers often have commitments to specific policies, laws, or funding of programs that are vital to the population they serve or an issue that they strongly support. Such commitments often lead social workers to become involved in political issues and the campaigns of specific candidates. Being a social worker, such campaign experiences, the outcomes of your efforts, and how effective you felt you were may affect your view of the political process and the likelihood of becoming involved in similar campaigns in the future.

For this Discussion, reflect on your experiences if you have ever participated in a political campaign. What was the outcome of your participation? If you have not participated in a campaign, choose a campaign topic you support or oppose and consider the ways you might like to participate in that campaign. Likewise, think about your experiences if you have ever lobbied on a topic. If you have not, choose a topic for which you might like to lobby in favor or against. Finally, consider how you think social workers might have a powerful and positive effect as elected officials.

Post an explanation of the role of lobbying and campaigning in social work practice. Then, explain how you think social workers might have a powerful and positive effect as elected officials. Finally, explain of the impact, if any, the experiences and opinions of your colleagues have had on your own experiences and opinions.

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Motivation is the psychological process that arouses and directs  behavior. There are three theories that will help us understand the  motivation of employees in the workplace.

1. Goal-setting theory – Suggests behavior can be motivated with  specific, challenging goals that are obtainable. The key to goal-setting  theory is ensuring employees understand what is expected and accept the  goals.
2. Self-efficacy – Is the belief “I Can/Can’t Do this Task.”  Self-efficacy is the belief in one’s personal ability to do a task.  There is a lot to be said to scoring high in this trait. People who are  confident about their ability tend to succeed, whereas those who doubt  their ability tend to fail.
3. Reinforcement theory – Explains how behavior can be altered by  administering positive or negative consequences to actions of employees.  Behavior with positive consequences tends to be repeated, and behavior  with negative consequences tends not to be repeated.

Welcome to the Case Assignment assignment for the third module of the course. Please read the article below which concerns locating near customers, and also review the Background Readings.

Crammer, L. J. & Wegfahrt, A. M., (2006). Ranked #9 proximity to major markets. Area Development Site and Facility Planning, 41(5).

Abstract:

Although a company’s location criteria and business model change over time, it is really the customers who establish broad location strategy. Furthermore, the business model established by most companies will be based on customer preferences—which also change over time. For example, the old-school model used for manufacturing included the need to inventory raw materials and sub-assemblies at the manufacturing site.

Case Assignment

Then, in a 5- to 6-page paper answer the following question.

Do customers really drive location and how does this affect logistical planning? Choose a specific industry (e.g., beer, clothing, automobiles, etc.). Compare the location decision of a Manufacturing company, to a Distributor, to a Retail location. How much influence does the customer of each of these types of businesses have on the location decision? How does this effect the logistics of each?

Assignment Expectations

Research the topic with information from the background readings as well as any other resources you find on your own. The paper should be 5–6 pages in length and have a cover sheet and a reference page. Clarity of presentation is important, as well as your ability to cover the topic in a succinct, organized manner with research to back up your points. Use at least 3 different sources of information and annotate your sources of information appropriately on your references page and within the text as necessary. You will be assessed on how well you develop this case and demonstrate your understanding of location decisions as applied in a logistics context. Submit your assignment for grading by the end of this module.
