• Ethical Absolutism: You follow your own cultural values no matter where you are.
• Ethical Universalism: There are fundamental principles of right and wrong which transcend cultural boundaries and MNEs must adhere to these values.

Earlier in the course, you explored how organizations plan for population needs and necessary services by implementing needs assessment surveys. Organizations and their funders want to know that program planning is done in an efficient and fiscally responsible way. Once programs are in place and services are being rendered, they also want to know that programs are progressing toward their goals and are making positive differences in the lives of their communities (and more specifically, the population receiving program services). To do this, organizations engage in program evaluation.

There are three main types of program evaluation: outcome-focused, empowerment, and outcome-focused empowerment. In outcome-focused evaluation, criteria for program success is set and evaluated by persons outside the direct program staff. Empowerment evaluation allows program staff to set and measure their own evaluation terms, and outcome-focused empowerment is a combination of the two. Each type of evaluation has its own benefits and limitations, and is more or less appropriate for various evaluation situations.

In this Discussion, you will conduct research on program evaluation and evaluate the evaluation approaches found in those articles. 

To Prepare

Using the Walden Library, locate and select a journal article published within the last 5 years that applies one of the three program evaluation approaches to a human or social services program. Consider why this type was selected and the benefits and challenges to implementing it in this particular situation.

By Day 3

Post a brief description of the program being evaluated in the article you selected. Explain which evaluation approach was used in the evaluation and why it was appropriate for the task. Finally, explain benefits and challenges to applying this type of evaluation to the program in question. Be specific and provide examples.

Final Exam

In our midterm assignment, we looked at four investments and discussed the types of investors who may or may not be appropriate for each selection. Now we will do the opposite by attempting to find appropriate investment selections for given individuals. Consider the following individuals:

· 65 year old widow with social security as only income and 300k retirement account.

· New small business owner at 28 with a 6 month emergency fund covered who is just starting to invest inside and outside retirement vehicles.

· Couple, both of whom are 45 with 12 year old daughter. Full time earners at 210k a year combined. 350k in retirement combined with emergency fund covered. Maxing 401k already. Willing and able to invest further outside of retirement funds.

· One individual or couple designed by the author whose personal situation differs from the three listed above.

The above scenarios are not “complete” pictures but are a good step in the process of completing topical financial plans. State a few investment products that may be appropriate as well as some that may not be as well as why this is the case. Consider at least one other area of financial planning (insurance, tax, estate planning, general topics, retirement planning) that may have an effect on investment decisions.

The successful submission will clearly and concisely describe suitable investments for the scenarios listed based on the limited information. (Consider that these “may” be appropriate since we do not have all client information at this time.) Focus on suitability rather than technical features of specific products.
