CASE SYNOPSIS
Inaash (a Lebanese non-profit organization that supports the Palestinian refugees) has created jobs for thousands women in camps through the production of Palestinian embroidery products. Although the organization had made significant achievements—from supporting refugees to offering medical help to elderly and sponsoring children’s education—major changes in its environment have resulted to diminishing sales and increased dependence on donations. As a result, Inaash’s

Firstly, it is necessary for the Inaash to develop a systematic strategic plan (Alternative #1)—in response to the organization’s lack of coherent developmental strategy. Although this may consume time and energy as a result of deliberation among the board and members, a well-written and consistent mission, vision, and goals can provide a clear road map to the organization. Also, it can establish the organization’s culture and make the board—as well as the members—arrive to the same decision, actions, and objectives.
Secondly, Inaash may need to increase their marketing strategy not only to increase publicity and sell more of their products, but also to raise more funds from donors locally and

This case is talking about an executive retreat. It was introduced by John Matthews who was a executive had been selected to attend the two-and-a-half-week retreat. The retreat was more like a competition about academic and athletic. The team members should not only get know each other and cooperate with teammates but also need to compete with others. The whole participants were broken into five groups and their aim was to win the competition. There are several sessions about academic and athletic that the participants should complete.

Shakespeare Inc., a private publishing company issued its F/S on March 20, 2012. There were several accruals and events that the management of Shakespeare is considering to determine if they should be recognized or disclosed in Dec 31, 2011 F/S. In my opinion, the important things to focus on subsequent events are the period they effect and if their influence is material or not, so that in conclusion, the F/S are fairly presented.

The United States Court of appeals ruled that the suppressed evidence is purely impeaching evidence and no defense request has been made, the suppressed evidence is material only if its introduction probably would have resulted in acquittal. Given a minor role of Phillips' testimony and the limited impact that Phelps statement had on the jury's assessment of Phillips credibility, Maddox could not demonstrate that so the evidence probably would have resulted in an acquittal. Also, the evidence was immaterial under United States V.Blasco; the defendant filed a joint motion to suppress all physical evidence gathered by the officers and any statements made by the defendant. The magistrate found that the defendant did not have to raise a fourth amendment challenge and its suppression did not violate his (Maddox’s) due process right. For ongoing reasons, the district court's dismissal of Maddox's habeas petition was affirmed.

Scenario: Use GOOGLE search, the Devry-Keller Online Library and/or one of the approved websites posted in the Webliography to find a research article(s) (no older than 2001) related to non-profit versus for-profit healthcare and organizations. Analyze the characteristics of each type of organization and the factors which impact operations. Discuss options to improve the financial and operational performance of non- profit organizations and the criticisms leveled at for-profit healthcare organizations. Your resultant written paper should be 750 words, double spaced, and in APA or other approved Devry-Keller format/style. Your primary text and the journal/website research article must be used as

Many of today's Americans are malnourished also, but they are inundated with unhealthy foods and require a multidisciplinary approach to nutrition education. What would be the three most important points to include in a public nutrition program? Provide current literature to support your answer and include two nutritional education community resources.

Suppose you are the network manager for Central University, a medium-size university with 13,000 students. The university has 10 separate colleges (e.g., business, arts, journalism), 3 of which are relatively large (300 faculty and staff members, 2,000 students, and 3 buildings) and 7 of which are relatively small (200 faculty and staff, 1,000 students, and 1 building). In addition, there are another 2,000 staff members who work in various administration departments (e.g., library, maintenance, and finance) spread over another 10 buildings. There are 4 residence halls that house a total of 2,000 students. Suppose the university has the 128.100.xxx.xxx address

Throughout the course of this planning guide, we have discussed various strategies to implement when undergoing the process of strategic planning. However, the most vital factor to keep in the back of our minds, as we strategically plan is to think if we choose that strategy, how would we implement? In thinking like this, planners should be careful that they do not develop a plan that is so intentionally achievable that no one has to do anything to implement leading to one of the common downfalls of implementation (Zuckerman, 2016) or so impossible that there is no way to implement it. Acknowledging this is what makes this guide so crucial for the plan to be fulfilled. In this section of the guide, we will
