Project To Delegate or Not to Delegate?

Procedure: Read each of the following scenarios and determine whether the manager should delegate. If yes, analyze whether the delegation should be to an individual or a team.

Scenario 1: You are a manager in an internal revenue district office. You manage the agency’s credit functions using a computerized accounting system, and you have a bookkeeper and a newly hired accounts payable clerk as your team. The director wants your recommendation for the purchase of a new accounting software package. You have a month to share your recommendations.

Scenario 2: You are the field manager for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and your job is to supervise ten veteran field agents. The current administration has rolled out a performance improvement project for all Federal agencies at the same time the Department of Justice is going through a fiscal audit. You are the point person for your office deadlines. What do you do?

Scenario 3: You are the operations manager in the local nonprofit agency that coordinates efforts and resources for local animal shelters and rescue organizations within the city. Your department has four shift supervisors (two per shift) and ten field workers. A critical funding resource fell through and you need to respond to their decision. Two of the field workers are out sick and another one is on vacation. Your monthly report to the City Council is due in one week and you see a backlog of unanswered field calls on animal-related issues.

Tasks

  • Write a memo to identify and describe in which of these scenarios you would delegate and in which you would not.
  • Explain the reasons you would or would not delegate the tasks in each of the three scenarios.
  • In the scenarios that you choose to delegate, explain in detail whether the delegation should be to an individual or a team and provide rationale for your answer.

Deliverable

Submit your answers in a double-spaced, 4- to 6-page Microsoft Word document, not counting the cover and reference pages.

What consequences do you support for those who violate constitutional rights?

/in /by

Certain freedoms such as civil liberties and civil rights are concepts highly revered by Americans; however, there are times when these two concepts conflict in the name of safety and national security. The Digital Age is having a profound effect on the privacy of individuals in both their daily and private lives. With technology like cameras and smartphones, the activities of people are being recorded more, whether it is running a red light, entering a building, playing in a park, or using an ATM machine.

This assignment is based on your analysis regarding privacy versus safety and security. Address the questions below in a cohesive essay, which should be at least two pages in length, be double-spaced, and be typed in 12-point Times New Roman font.

Begin by identifying which part of the Constitution addresses individual privacy rights. Do you believe that with today’s technology the Constitution still adequately protects those rights? Why, or why not?
Select and describe an issue that has been in the news within the last 15 years and relates to constitutional rights of privacy as outlined in the Constitution and/or court rulings and national security. Explore how the need for national security balanced with civil liberties and civil rights is impacted by laws and court cases/rulings.
Take a stand. Do you agree with the law or court case or ruling discussed in #2 above, or do you object? Where do you draw the line in this privacy issue? Explain your response.
Explain how historical thought and tradition affect civil liberties and rights as they pertain to the issue you chose.
What consequences do you support for those who violate constitutional rights?
What, if any, compensation do you recommend for individuals whose rights have been violated by others?
You must use at least three sources to support your response. Make sure that all sources are cited and referenced using APA style.

Overview

  • Your project assignment (25% of your total course grade) is worth 100 points,
  • It focuses on researching and presenting information on a Landmark Court Case that protected Texans’ rights for equality and privacy
  • Refer to Chapter 1; specifically (Texas Culture and Diversity) pages 14-22 and TABLE 1.1 – Key U.S. Supreme Court Decisions Protecting Texans’ Rights to Equality and Privacy, as well as the associated course PowerPoint.
  • ONLY a Power Point (PP) presentation will be accepted (PPT or PPTX files)
