Consider this scenario:

You receive a hotline call at your mental health agency from a client requesting a same-day appointment. You are the only social worker available to work with clients at the time, as your coworker is out of town on vacation for 10 days. A 15-year-old boy struggling with depression (no suicidal ideation) and addiction calls asking for help. While you are gathering information over the phone, you realize that he happens to be the son of a friend. Do you continue the process, planning on providing him with services, or do you refer him to another mental health clinic that is over 30 miles away? Do you make him wait until your coworker returns? Do you contact his parents and tell them he called?

In certain geographical areas there may be limited resources and in turn a lack of opportunities for clients to obtain assistance. In some rural or otherwise isolated areas there might be situations that make it difficult to maintain ideal boundaries due to dual-role relationships. Dual-role relationships exist when a professional fills multiple roles at the same time, a situation that may be unavoidable in certain circumstances.

Understanding the significant impact of a dual-role relationship with a client is important in order to avoid harming the client. Further, recognizing the impact on the client and the relationship will assist in the creation of strong professional boundaries. In these situations, a social worker might feel his or her ability to maintain these boundaries is compromised or may even experience a value dilemma due to the existence of dual-role relationships.

Consider the importance of boundaries in a therapeutic relationship. Think about ways a social worker might violate the NASW Code of Ethics as it pertains to dual-role relationships. Is there ever a situation in which dual-role relationships are acceptable, or even preferable?

By Day 4

Post an explanation of how you might respond to the situation with the 15-year-old boy on the hotline. Include ways your decision may impact the client. Support your position with references to this week’s resources, professional experience, and additional research. How will you address a possible dual-role relationship?

Using the information that you have compiled over the past four modules, prepare your summary recommendation  for Gentry Inc. and its plan to expand internationally. Remember that  the company is trying to raise $50 million to expand via an IPO and debt  issuance.  

Create a 10-15 slide presentation  detailing your findings. Your recommendation should be 1-2 slides. Note  that the title slide and reference slides are not included in the 10-15  total. Be sure to include academic references in your presentation as  well as any charts or graphs to convey your financial information. 

Include a summary the deliverables from Modules 02-04 in the presentation.

Your slides should flow as a cohesive presentation, not a patchwork of distinct pieces of information.  

Modules 3-4 included in files.  Module 2 I will list what the requirements were on here.

**Part below does not need to be completed but some of the details on here are what need to included for the Module 2 portion of the presentation.**

Based on the concepts that you learned this week from the assigned  videos and articles surrounding growth strategies for companies, make an  initial assessment of whether Gentry should expand into China, Japan,  and Germany all at one time or in a phased approach. 

In your assignment, recall the strategies that you  discussed in this module’s discussion questions about the different  types of financial investments companies use for growth. 

Include the advantages and disadvantages of  expanding with debt and equity (using the information that you learned  in this module’s materials).

Explore problem-solving skills for business analysis.

Scenario

You manage a local chain restaurant that is known for its burgers. The restaurant is located on the corner of a major intersection in a suburban neighborhood. There are many choices in the area for a cheap meal that is family friendly. With so many options available, you want to be sure that you remain competitive. As a result, you recently decided to make a few changes to the menu. You added quite a few new items and took away a few that weren’t so popular.

Your general manager regularly checks your store’s online reviews to see what your customers are saying. She made you aware that recently your online reviews have been less than positive. She provided you with reviews from your website and asked that you summarize the findings and determine next steps. While your sales don’t seem to be slipping, she wants you to analyze the ratings and reviews so that you can proactively address areas that need attention.

The reviews and ratings are as follows:

Comments

Stars out of 5 

Great burgers

3

My waitress was really nice

4

My soup was cold

1

My salad was wilted

1

We were seated very quickly

3

The carpet was filthy

2

The food was horrible, but the manager comped the meal

3

Food was ok for typical bar food

3

There is too much to choose from on the menu

2

Really kid friendly

4

There was a wait to be seated and the hostess brought my four year old crayons and paper to keep her busy!

5

The place is known for their burgers. They should stick to that. Their pizza was horrible and overpriced!

1

Bathrooms need some serious attention! Gross!

1

Our waiter slipped us a buy one, get one coupon before we paid the bill. Sweet!!

4

You have reviewed the data and have decided that analysis is required in order to prioritize the areas of concern. The data will also allow you to assess what is going right in your restaurant.

You and your general manager agree that this exercise is imperative to stay competitive in an already saturated market.InstructionsYou have decided to provide your general manager with a step-by-step action plan, in Microsoft Word, that provides the roadmap used to analyze the data to ensure the conclusions you reached are valid. You will be dealing with both quantitative and qualitative data. As you write your plan, be sure you explain your research method, measurement scale, results, and next steps based on your results.

In an introductory statement, briefly explain why the analysis of these ratings and reviews is important.

• Step 1 – Contrast the two different types of data found in the ratings and reviews and how both will be used in your analysis.
• Step 2 – Describe the research method and measurement scale you will be using to interpret the ratings and reviews. Be sure to include an analysis of the method, and why it is appropriate in this case.
• Step 3- Illustrate your coding process by displaying a table with the values ascribed to your qualitative data.
• Step 4 – Explain whether you applied mean, median, or mode values to your quantitative data. Include a description why your choice best reflects the overall customer rating of your restaurant, what the value is, and a projection of where you would like the rating to be in 6 months.
• Step 5 – Create a table, chart, or graph using Excel that shows your qualitative research results and identify the top two customer concerns to be addressed. Also, include the area where customers are most satisfied. Be sure to add the graph in the appropriate place in the Word document.
• Step 6 – Write two recommendations to address customer concerns.
