How Is Policy Formulated?

How policy is formulated is the focus of this discussion. In particular, from the human services perspective, how would policy be formulated on the specific social change problem in the government example Simon offers in Chapter 6 of Public Policy?

1. Briefly describe how policy is formulated in a government situation, knowing that the process is very similar in a for-profit or a non-profit organization.
2. Identify the principal actors in the process (consult the Ryser “Elements of a Standard Policy Statement” reading from your Social Policy Toolbox).
3. Discuss policy development group theory, as applied to your analysis.

Change Management Models 

1. Compare  and contrast the various change management models. Provide a brief  overview of your comparison. Which models have you seen implemented in  the workforce? Next, recommend which change model you would use when  implementing your new HRIS, and explain why you would use the selected  model.

3 page data analysis report on the questions. It doesn’t need a formal introduction just report on the data findings for the questions.

Just because you thought of an interesting research question and have a desire to conduct research does not mean that your research will automatically be supported by faculty or funded by an organization. In order to gain stakeholder approval, you must submit a research proposal. Much like an outline of a paper or a treatment of a movie script, the research proposal contains several parts that begin with a research question and end with a literature review. For this Assignment, you compile a research proposal that includes a research problem, research question, and a literature review.

For this Assignment, choose between the case studies entitled “Social Work Research: Couple Counseling” and “Social Work Research: Using Multiple Assessments.” Consider how you might select among the issues presented to formulate a research proposal.

Be sure to consult the outline in Chapter 14 the Yegidis et al. text for content suggestions for the sections of a research proposal. As you review existing research studies, notice how the authors identify a problem, focus the research question, and summarize relevant literature. These can provide you with a model for your research proposal.

Submit a 5- to 6-page research proposal stating both a research problem and a broad research question (may be either qualitative or quantitative). Use 6–10 of the most relevant literature resources to support the need for the study, define concepts, and define variables relevant to the question. Include a literature review explaining what previous research has found in relation to your problem and question. The literature review should also include a description of methods used by previous researchers. Finally, be sure to explain how your proposed study addresses a gap in existing knowledge.

Step 1 – Read the Information Below

Organizations from time to time must make hard decisions (expand, lay off employees, or close a facility). As a manager, you will have to use work experiences, advice from supervisors, and the organizational culture to support your decision. Organizational culture is the sum of the values and beliefs shared among employees.

Suppose you are a manager who is faced with having to reduce headcount (lay off one of your two employees) in your unit. Sales within the company have declined due to the downward spiral of the economy and each department within the organization is faced with making the same decision. Fortunately, you only have to cut one job; others are reducing more.

• Mary is in her mid-20s, single, college graduate, she is very hard working and was in the top 10% of the performance ratings this year, she constantly volunteers to travel, work weekends and evenings. However, she supports political causes that could be viewed as contrary to the goals of the company.
• Alice is in her mid-40s, has two young children, her husband is a doctor, her performance is good, and she has above average performance reviews. However, she has limited availability on weekends and limitations on overnight travel due to her volunteer work with local charities.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following:

• As a manager who would you select to layoff and why?
• What is the potential impact of this choice on organizational culture?

Locate a current and reliable source of information on the performance management cycle. Discuss the components of the performance management cycle and the frequency each component is conducted over the course of an annual performance management cycle.
