An understanding of change theory is critical to the success of human and social services professionals. A classic model of change theory consists of three phases: (a) unfreezing, (b) movement, and (c) refreezing (Lewin, 1951). Another model describes the differences between first- and second-order change and how first-order change may continue to perpetuate the very problems human services professionals seek to remedy (Watzlawick, Weakland, & Fisch, 1974). Developmental theory and systems theory may also be relevant to implementing change in human and social services related agencies and organizations.

As you develop your Capstone Project strategic plan, think about the element of change and how change might affect the change processes that will be associated with the agency, organization, or community for your strategic plan. Think of principles from relevant change theories and how you can implement those procedures to manage the individual and organizational change that may come about as a result of the strategic plan. Along with change theory and processes, you also should consider codes of ethics to guide you in addressing these issues.

  • Is there a minimum level or configuration for the human resources department? How does this minimum level vary based on the size of the organization and industry?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

How much power should the courts have in affecting the relationship between employers and employees? This country was built on the philosophy of Laissez Faire…. leave them alone. Under that philosophy, we built railroads, skyscrapers and a vast industrial economy that has made us the envy of the industrial world. Entrepreneurs were able to get rich or go broke based on their own talent and luck, and workers could choose their professions and become successful by their own hard work.

On the other hand, entrepreneurs became fabulously wealthy on the backs on the workers. Miners were routinely killed in dangerous mining conditions so the owners could become even wealthier. There was a case in the 1920’s in which a young boy was required to work late at night cleaning machines. He spilled a little cleaning fluid, and it dripped on a mouse hiding under the machine. The mouse ran under a gas radiator. The flame of the radiator caused the mouse to catch on fire, and it ran under the machine which blew up due to the flammable fluid being used to clean. The boy was killed; The employer hired another boy to take his place. No, I didn’t make that up.

Under what circumstances, and to what degree, should the government be able to step in and dictate the relationship between an employer and employee?

Option #1: Beta Distribution

(Note: This subject is often included in the PMP exam questions.)

You are the project manager for the Sweep Time software project. You have decided to use the beta distribution, or 3-point estimation, technique for this project. For the “phase 1 test” activity in days, the following estimates are available: O=5, P=10, M=6.

Address the following:

1. Explain beta distribution, when it is used, and the benefits and shortcomings of the technique.
2. What is the result of this estimate in the example?
3. How does a skew from the mean/median figure relate to planning a project? That is, if your beta is 7.5 and your M=6, how do these relate?

Submission:

• Write a 3- to 4-page paper addressing beta distribution. The length does not include the required title and references pages, and the appendix in which you show your calculations.
• Support your paper with a minimum of two current scholarly sources.

 Internal and external forces will greatly impact organizational strategies and this is also the case with strategies for planning employee benefits. Review the list of internal forces that influence benefit strategy and select any 2 that you feel might have the greatest influence and explain why. Then, select 1 external force influencing benefits strategy with the greatest influence and also explain why.
