Reflection: Knowledge and skills developmentValue: 40%Length: 1200 wordsSubmission method options: EASTS (online)TaskWrite a scholarly reflection in three parts. A scholarly reflection is a type of text where connections between personal experience and academic ideas are explored. The writer examines their experience of a particular topic and where theories, concepts or ideas from the readings play out (or perhaps do not). The aim is that the learning gained will inform new ways of thinking, being, or doing. So, if you are working in a HSO you can reflect on your practice experience in Parts 2 and 3. Your reflection in Part 1 must be as a service user. The reflection for Assessment 3 asks you to focus on knowledge you have gained in WEL118 and how you can use it to identify skills for future development. The reflection is structured into three parts:Part 1: Insights from experience and learning (400 words)Reflect on an experience you have had of using a human service organisation (Centrelink, job services, immigration, medical). Briefly describe the situation and comment on the effect it had on you, positive, negative, or otherwise. Relate your experience to what you now know about HSOs that might have contributed to your experience. What could have enhanced the experience and usefulness for you?Part 2: Learning for Indigenous community contexts (400 words)Based on your reading, reflect on the knowledge and skills you already have, and those you will need to develop, to work effectively in an Indigenous human services context.Part 3: Learning for a regional, rural, remote or metropolitan context (400)Based on your reading, reflect on the knowledge and skills you already have, and those you will need to develop, to work effectively in either a regional, rural, remote or metropolitan context.Note on referencing: A scholarly reflection is written in the first person (“I”, “me”) and tells a story, but the story includes references to scholarly ideas and readings that you have been learning about. You are expected to include at least one reference to subject readings in each part. Minimum of 5 academic references for this paper and you may source references from beyond the subject materials.RationaleThis assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:• be able to articulate the differences between providing human services to metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, rural and remote areas, Indigenous communities.• be able to think critically about skills and strategies for working in human services organisations.Critical reflection on experience is a common process in human services education, and ongoing in professional practice. Assessment 3 is designed for you to practise reflective writing, and evaluate and articulate your learning in the topic fields.

AimThe following questions are all based on the GoPro case study published in the Forbes Magazine. Basing yourarguments on the topics that you have studied throughout the unit, write a report addressing all of thefollowing questions. The report/questions will cover both aspects of the unit.Assignment structure and marking allocationPart AEntrepreneurship (25 marks)Question 1: Whilst Nick Goodman was confident that his business idea for a cinema-grade mini camera couldultimately lead to success, he did initially question his ability to bring his product to market ie. ‘He gave himselffour years to make it work before he would drop his idea and enter the workforce’. Therefore, it is clear thatthere is a ‘dark side’ of entrepreneurship. Discuss three major traits that are associated with the dark side ofentrepreneurship. Justify your response with reference to academic sources (e.g. academic journal articles,textbooks, etc.). (10 marks)Question 2: Peter Drucker, a leading scholar in the fields of entrepreneurship and marketing, is cited in yourunit material numerous times. When speaking of entrepreneurship, Drucker once stated: ‘Most of what youhear about entrepreneurship is all wrong. It’s not magic; it’s not mysterious; and it has nothing to do withgenes. It’s a discipline and like any discipline it can be learnt’.What evidence exists in the GoPro case study that supports and/or refutes this statement? Ensure yourargument(s) are developed through direct reference to concepts, tools and techniques evident in the unitmaterial. (15 marks)Page 2 of 4Part BMarketing and Strategic Planning (60 marks)You will note that the case study article is dated late 2014. Much has changed in the action camera industry,including the development of higher resolution smart phone cameras, now capable of capturing 4K videofootage. Therefore it is expected that you review more recent activities and outcomes for the GoPro companywhen attempting to answer the following questions.Question 1: Since the publication of the case in 2014, how has GoPro gained a competitive advantage fromtheir marketing processes? Provide a theoretical analysis of the reasons for the achievement of this advantage.Draw on other recent resources when justifying your analysis (30 marks)Question 2: The GoPro case study specifically identifies future threats to the company’s strategy in 2014. Whatthreats do you feel GoPro faces in 2019 and beyond? Provide a theoretical analysis of this threat scenario andgive recommendations on how GoPro should respond to this. (30 marks)Academic rigour (15 marks)This is a substantial piece of scholarly work and will require extensive engagement with both unit theory andthe case study.• Your arguments have to be based on concepts and tools discussed in the unit and must be supportedthrough direct reference to academic literature (academic journal articles, academic books, etc.). Yourreport will be assessed based on your ability to develop and argument supported by academic sources(please also refer to marking criteria). Therefore, newspapers, magazines, website opinion pages orwebsites like Wikipedia etc. are certainly not acceptable as foundation for your arguments. All sourcesmust be properly referenced.• However, you are encouraged to undertake further research on GoPro to gain a deeper understanding ofthe case (e.g. financials, company vision and mission statements, investor relations, etc.). The GoProwebsite and other trustworthy non-academic sources are acceptable in this context and this context only. Ifyou use further information for the case study, make sure you reference your sources correctly. If you areunsure whether your sources are appropriate, seek your tutor’s advice.• Assignments strictly have to be within the word limit (-/+ 10 %)

Summarize diagnostic skills and techniques that can be used to screen for addiction, aggression, and danger to self and others, as you note these risks in your client.

After reading the case examples in the Myer and Conte (2006) article, you have a better understanding of how to use one type of assessment tool. A Microsoft Word copy of the Triage Assessment Form (TAF) is included in the assignment Resources. The most current version of this form is also shown in your James and Gilliland (2017) text, pages 60–64. Use the form to analyze one of the cases, either Ariadne or Jordan, described below. You can save the form as you have completed it as a MS Word document or as a PDF document, and attach the form to your written paper as an appendix.

Rate the client in each of the three domains (Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive) using the Severity Scale included with each domain on the Triage Assessment Form (TAF) and total the scores. Describe, in detail, the rationale for your ratings, including your judgment about how intense and directive the treatment should be based upon the total score. In your discussion of the rationale, summarize diagnostic skills and techniques that can be used to screen for addiction, aggression, and danger to self and others, as you note these risks in your client. Similarly, a possible co-occurring mental disorder (such as substance abuse) may become apparent during a crisis, disaster, or other trauma-causing event that ties in with your assessment during the client’s crisis. Note this in your rationale to address the impact of crisis and trauma on individuals with mental health diagnoses.

Project Objectives

To successfully complete this project, you will be expected to:

  • Complete the Triage Assessment Form appropriately for the selected case, including all three domains, with clinical descriptions to guide the course of treatment by evaluating the domain ratings with a logical and articulate rationale of key elements of the crisis, disaster, or trauma-causing events, including the nature of the crisis and associated risks, and client and counselor safety.
  • Summarize diagnostic skills and techniques that can be used to screen for addiction, aggression, and danger to self and others, as you note these risks in your client.
  • Note a co-occurring mental disorder (such as substance abuse or depression), which may become apparent during a crisis, disaster, or other trauma-causing event that ties in with your assessment during the client’s crisis.
  • Differentiate characteristics of crisis states versus developmentally appropriate reactions to life obstacles and crisis assessment and intervention strategies for diverse populations.
  • Exhibit proficiency in effective, credible academic writing, and critical thinking skills.

Case of Ariadne:

Ariadne, a 17-year-old Hispanic female, ran away from home. The police returned her to her home, but within a week Ariadne had attempted suicide by taking her father’s prescription medication for high blood pressure. Ariadne had been showing signs of depression and was seen for mental health counseling a year previously for eight sessions. After receiving counseling, Ariadne stated that she felt unuseful at home and unwelcome at school. Feelings of worthlessness and anger arose periodically when her parents tried to engage her about school events. Ariadne had several close friends and one young man she called her “beau,” though she claimed there was no serious intimacy between them. She refused to return to counseling sessions, saying that the time was better spent talking with her friends. She complained that her parents were too strict with curfew times and asked too many questions. In the past week, Ariadne was discovered to skip school two days and refused to tell her parents where she had been. Ariadne’s mother found a bottle of pills and a bottle of vodka in her room.

**Headings to use in paper**

 

Using the Triage Assessment Form

Include the title of your paper centered at the top of the page, not bolded; it is not considered a heading. *This first section is your paper’s introduction.

Triage Assessment of the Client

Complete the Triage Assessment Form for the selected case, including all three domains and the total score. In this section of the paper, summarize the results and provide a logical and articulate rationale for each of the domain ratings with specific descriptions of each, by relating the specifics of the case to the ratings you determine. There is detail about using the TAF in Chapter 3 of your text, as well as the assigned Myer and Conte article. Use appropriate terminology, such as the psychobiological assessment found in Chapter 3 of your text, and language found in the TAF Severity Scales, to guide the course of treatment based upon your total score.

 

Diagnostic Skills and Techniques

Elaborate on diagnostic skills and techniques that can be used to screen for addiction, aggression, and danger to self and others, as well as co-occurring mental disorders during a crisis, such as the Hybrid Model and the ABC’s of Assessing Crisis Intervention found in Chapter 3 of your text. Discuss what counseling skills you use in a triage assessment of this client.

Developmental and Cultural Considerations in Crisis Assessment and Intervention

In this section of the paper, describe how you would differentiate between the characteristics of crisis states versus developmentally appropriate reactions to life obstacles. Describe crisis assessment and interventions considerations and strategies when working with diverse populations. Consider any cultural, diversity, or even gender issues that may be involved in assessment or intervention with your chosen scenario. Give examples of what you would include in your assessment and intervention.

1. The Nagle, et.al. textbook states: “In order to prove illegal price discrimination under the Robinson-Patman Act and assuming that the supplier sells in interstate commerce, each of five elements must be present.” · What are these five elements? · Does it make a difference whether the supplier is engaged in a monopoly, oligopoly or monopolistically competitive environment? · Describe the rationale for your answer. 2. How can In-depth Interviews assist a manufacturer of a product in the development and implementation of a pricing strategy and the measurement of buyer/customer price sensitivity (i.e., elasticity)? · Does this type of interview represent a focus group approach to preferences and intentions or actual purchases? Explain your answer. 3. Theoretically, the “optimal pricing decision is a blending of cost and demand considerations.” Yet the textbook states: “An effective pricing decision should involve an optimal blending of, not a compromise between, internal financial constraints and external market conditions.” · What are the roles of non-incremental fixed and sunk costs, as internal financial constraints, and competitive advantage, as external market conditions, in achieving the best pricing strategy (i.e., pricing decision)? Explain your answer. 4. There is a complex flow of thinking required to make thoughtful decisions about reaching price competition. Such decisions begin with the assumption that one or more competitors have reduced their prices or have introduced new products that offer at least some of the supplier’s buyers more value for their money.” · How would your response differ if this was an oligopolistic supplier as opposed to a monopolistically competitive supplier? · What difference would it make if the products had or did not have substitutes? Explain your answer. 5. What is the role of Percent Contribution Margin (%CM) in adopting a particular pricing strategy? · What are the benefits associated with the determination of the actual unit cost of a product or service? · What are the costs inherent in the %CM formula? Explain your answer.
