Book Review Title:
Rules for Revolutionaries
Author: Guy Kawasaki
Course: MKTG 5703:
Marketing Management & Innovation
Date: 11/11/XX

Synopsis
Rules for
Revolutionaries is one of several books authored by Guy Kawasaki. Kawasaki is perhaps best
known for his work with Apple Computers, specifically for his work on the
launch of Apple’s Macintosh line.

In his book Kawasaki
explains how the reader can (and should) create “world-changing revolution”
within his or her company. The book’s three main points are 1)Create like a
God, 2)Command like a King, and 3)Work like a slave. Kawasaki gives several examples under each
section from business history, examples from the marketplace at the time of the
book’s publication, and from his own experiences. Kawasaki’s favorite case studies and
suggested readings are listed at the end of each chapter and in a special
references section at the end of the book.

Commentary
This book is presented in a very straightforward fashion
which made it both an easy and entertaining read! I especially liked how the
book was structured into sections based on his key ideas. Kawasaki is not afraid to attack business
practices he considers a waste of time and the tone of his book suggests he is
very interested in contributing to the reader’s success and in inspiring the
reader to create “revolution” in the marketplace.

I appreciated Kawasaki’s
straightforward and at times “in your face” writing style, reminiscent of
another of my favorite authors, Tom Peters. I liked the fact that he wasn’t shy
about talking about mistakes he’d made along with the successes he had enjoyed.
I especially noted his inclusion of several different sources which tells me
that as an author he did his due diligence and that he wasn’t interested in
just telling a bunch of his own “war stories” or in simply touting his
opinions. The book’s layout and its having sources so visibly listed make the
book a great quick-reference tool.

One thing I had a little problem with was his example “Eat
like a bird, poop like an elephant.” While he goes on to explain what he means,
and even though this is a memorable visual, I found trying to explain it to
others either resulted in their inability to take it seriously or their outright
disdain. Added to which there are only a handful of people with whom I would
even feel comfortable trying to share this example! It works in terms of making
a memorable impression, but is problematic in its use as an example that can be
widely (and tastefully!) used.

All that aside, I have always enjoyed Kawasaki’s work and this one is a nice
addition to his series. I look forward to his next book.

Conclusion
This book is a worthwhile investment and I would recommend
it.

Youth Justice

Length: 2000 words

Topic: Select an agency that works with young people. The agency should NOT deal specifically with crime or legal matters.
Rather the agency should be one that works more broadly with young people across areas such as welfare, leisure, education, accommodation/shelter, and substance abuse (but, of course, not necessarily all of them). The agency might be quite small – focusing on one area of youth welfare. It might operate from a particular location (premises) or it might concentrate on out-reach street work, or both.
Before you begin your investigation, you should be clear in your mind whether the work of this agency might be applied in some way(s) to youth crime prevention. Based on observations, interviews, documents and experiences, build your essay around the following items:
Briefly describe the work of the agency or organisation and describe the ‘philosophy’ upon which the agency bases its practices. That is, how do the workers in the agency see their role in contributing to the welfare of young people?
Describe how the work of the agency is related to youth crime prevention OR how you think its work might be applied to this area.
Broadly, analyse what you think are the strengths and limitations of what this agency does with young people. Give reasons for your conclusions.
Remember – this is a 2000 word assignment, so be concise and to-the-point in what you say.
Note also that your case study should be informed by wider reading. There should be at least EIGHT items of reading in addition to any set by the lecturer that you use. You might also wish to refer to documents produced by the agency. All of this material, including any references to set readings, should be listed in your reference list.

Some hints for Assignment 2: Case Study
You should aim to devote roughly equal portions of your essay to each of the parts outlined above (and try to link the parts, rather than having abrupt breaks between each of the sections).
Essentially, in this assignment you are trying to answer the question: From what I have read and from my observations of my chosen agency, what have I learned about working with young people that might relate directly or indirectly to youth crime and/or youth crime prevention?
Be concise and selective in what you look at. It is pointless including pages and pages of description in your essay which simply list all the things (programs, activities) the agency or organisation undertakes with young people. Excessive, straightforward description will not earn good marks. We are looking for evidence of your interpretive and analytical abilities.
The latter parts of your essay especially are really demonstrating your interpretive and analytical abilities – so ask yourself: “Does the agency I have chosen to focus upon, and the way that I have approached the discussion, really allow me to demonstrate my intellectual initiative?”
You are certainly not expected to carry out a major analysis of your agency to the depth or sophistication that you would if you were doing, say, a course on evaluation theory and practice. What you are really trying to work out in your own mind and convey to the reader is what you have learned about agencies that work with young people – especially with young people who are said to be vulnerable, or at-risk, or troublesome.
Remember, if you are interviewing people from agencies for your assignment or need to get access to materials etc, you are probably dealing with busy people. Hence start early, don’t leave your investigations until the week before the assignment is due.
Your essay should adhere to normal academic conventions (suitable and consistent referencing – preferably APA style, clear and correct written expression and so forth). If you have problems in these areas there are fairly cheap publications on “writing assignments” available in well-stocked bookshops.
Note:The agency you explore might request a copy of your findings/essay and, out of courtesy; you should be prepared to provide them with a copy. Remember, your work might provide the agency with helpful information and insights.

Capstone Project/Signature Assignment – City Of San Diego Urban Quarter Expansion

Capstone Project/Signature Assignment – City Of San Diego
Urban Quarter Expansion

The Purpose
The Urban Planning course prepares the students to impact
the planning process and to understand what to expect in the planning process.
The capstone project is to provide the student a real world experience where
they can apply the skills and methods learned in the course.

The Capstone Project Design
In the Capstone Project for this course students will
propose a model for the next phase, completion or expansion of the San Diego
Urban Quarter. JPA has provided suitable narratives for all of their projects
in the city of San Diego. Students are encouraged to review the narratives to
guide their development.

The concept should be innovative, ecologically dynamic,
address safety and health issues, transportation and potential growth demands
etc.
The students audience for this proposal are the city
planners, local government officials and the public. The setting for the
presentation of this document is a forum similar to a legislative board
meeting.

HIPAA, Patient Rights, and Medical Social Worker Dilemmas

Provide a brief
overview of the obligations of a medical social worker under HIPAA principles
that apply to the presented case scenario (see below). Describe the inquirer’s
rights and how you, as a medical social worker, should respond. Then, describe
the patient’s rights and the actions you may take to preserve the patient’s
information. Briefly state your professional obligations to safeguard your
patient’s safety. Support
your paper with scholarly references and resources including the attached
supportive references.

Case Scenario:
You work as a medical
social worker at an outpatient clinic at a major teaching hospital. A woman
comes to the clinic claiming to be your patient’s sister. “I’m here to see if
my brother George has been keeping his appointments,” she says. I’m worried
because he’s unwell and not getting better. “I only want to help him.” “I don’t
think he’s taking his medication,” she adds. Can you tell me his meds?”

Digital Information Systems Challenge

Digital Information Systems Challenge
Whether or not you think about them often, digital information systems surround your daily life. Prior to this type of technology existing, there were analog systems, or systems that had physical pieces and movement that created information. A concrete example of this difference is photography: before, when you wanted to take a photo, you had to capture information onto a plastic filmstrip and then develop the photo onto paper; whereas today you can take a photo with a digital camera and the photo/information exists digitally and you can email or send it as a text/data message.
Today, you are going to take part in a digital information systems challenge. First, you will spend some time writing down your own thoughts, then you will take some time to write and answer some questions.
What You’ll Do
Think and Write: Two Lists or two Paragraphs (approx. 10 minutes)
Challenge 1: List the top 5 digital information system you interact with on a daily basis
Challenge 2: List non-digital information systems (analog) you interact with on a daily basis
Yes, complete both challenges.
Hint: think back to lectures and course materials so far. Online banking is a type of digital info system. Fabricated signs in a grocery store is a type of non-digital info system.
Answer These Questions: 2-3 Sentences Per Question (or 20-30 minutes of writing)
Discuss the implications of these information systems.
Which are essential to your everyday life?
Why do you use the information systems you do?
What is it that they give you?
Do they always give you the information you need?
Why or why not?
Consider, Reflect, Discuss This Last Question: 1 Paragraph (or 5-10 minutes of writing)
If you had to choose one digital information system and one analog information system that you could not live without (as an individual or as a society) what would it be and why?
