Explain how the information you gathered during the interview can aid in planning treatment for your client.

Assignment 1: LASA 2: Conducting and Evaluating an Interview

Assignment 1: LASA 2: Conducting and Evaluating an Interview

By Monday, February 8, 2016 complete the assignment presented below.

During the first week of class you conducted your first practice interview, and in week three you developed an Interview Guide. For this activity, you will be using your Interview Guide, the analysis of potential interview biases from LASA 1, and the feedback you have received from your instructor to conduct an interview with a volunteer.

Prior to the Interview

    1. Locate an adult volunteer.
    2. Read the analysis requirements below and ENSURE you meet them within your interview. Make sure your interview includes:
      1. A minimum of 5 open and 5 closed ended questions (10 total).
      2. A minimum of 5 examples of paraphrasing, summaries, or reflections techniques (must have at least one of each paraphrase, summary, and reflection/5 total).

 

  1. Gather Recording Equipment (video is preferred).  You will need to record your interview.
  2. Also make sure you have a watch or a timer to keep track of the length of your interview. Make sure your interview is not less than 5 minutes long.

The Interview

  1. Needs to be at least 5 minutes long, but it should not be more than 10 minutes.
  2. Be prepared! Although it may not sound like it, 5 minutes is a long time in interviewing time. If you are having problems filling 5 minutes, go back to the interview skills you have learned about (e.g., probing, reflections, and summaries).

After the Interview

    1. Play back the recording of the interview.
    2. Transcribe or write out the interview completely. Be sure to write outeverything said during the interview
    3. After you have written the transcript of the interview, provide a detailed analysis of the interview. On your transcript:
      1. Identify Questions Used: On your transcript identify at least 5 closed and 5 open ended questions that you used during the interview. Identify these on your transcript using all caps (10 questions total).

        For example:

        Interviewer:  How long have you been having headaches?  CLOSED QUESTION

 

      1. Evaluate the Questions: After you have identified examples of 5 open and 5 open questions in your transcript, write an evaluation of the effectiveness of your use of questions (Approximately one paragraph for this analysis). Explain whether or not your questions were effective. How did your client respond to your questions? How would you improve the effectiveness of your questions?
      2. Identify Techniques Used: Next, identify at least 5 examples of paraphrasing, summarizing, or reflections you used (must have at least one of each: paraphrase, summary, and reflection). Again, use all caps on your transcript to identify each technique.

        For example:

        Interviewer: So it’s been several weeks since you’ve been able to sleep without problems? PARAPHRASE

 

      1. Evaluate the Techniques: Evaluate the effectiveness of your interview technique (Approximately one paragraph for this entire section). How did your client respond to the techniques in the interview? How do you know if you were effective with these? Provide justification for your response. How could you improve your use of these?

 

  1. Application: Analysis and Summary
    1. Explain how the information you gathered during the interview can aid in planning treatment for your client. How can treatment of this client be more informed or more targeted based on the information you gathered (Approximately 2-3 paragraphs).
    2. Identify at least two possible ethical issues that could arise during your interview (hint: go back to your Module 1 lecture for ideas about ethical issues in interviewing).  Explain how an ethical interviewer should deal with each of these issues. (Approximately 2-3 paragraphs).

Which of the two options should Patricia pursue if she wants to open a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles?

Managerial Economics / Consumer Demand Analysis

Consumer Demand Analysis and Estimation Applied Problems

 

Please complete the following two applied problems:

 

Problem 1:

 

Patricia is researching venues for a restaurant business. She is evaluating three major attributes that she considers important in her choice: taste, location, and price. The value she places on each attribute, however, differs according to what type of restaurant she is going to start. If she opens a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles, then taste is the most important attribute, three times as important as location, and two times as important as price. If she opens a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, then location becomes three times as important as taste and two times as important as price.

She is considering two venues, respectively, a steak restaurant and a pizza restaurant, both of which are priced the same. She has rated each attribute on a scale of 1 to 100 for each of the two different types of restaurants.

Which of the two options should Patricia pursue if she wants to open a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles?

Calculate the total expected utility from each restaurant option and compare.

Graph is not required. Describe your answer, and show your calculations.

 

Which of the two options should she pick if she plans to open a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area?

Describe your answer, and show your calculations.

 

Which option should she pursue if the probability of finding a restaurant venue in a suburban area can be reliably estimated as 0.7 and in a metropolitan area as 0.3? Describe your reasoning and show your calculations.

 

Provide a description of a scenario in which this kind of decision between two choices, based on weighing their underlying attributes, applies in the “real-world” business setting.

Furthermore, what are the benefits and drawbacks, if any, to this method of decision making?

 

Problem 2

The demand function for Newton’s Donuts has been estimated as follows:

Qx = -14 – 54Px + 45Py + 0.62Ax

where Qx represents thousands of donuts; Px is the price per donut; Py is the average price per donut of other brands of donuts; and Ax represents thousands of dollars spent on advertising Newton’s Donuts. The current values of the independent variables are Ax=120, Px=0.95, and Py=0.64.

 

Show all of your calculations and processes.

Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

 

Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Newton’s Donuts and describe what it means. Describe your answer and show your calculations.

 

Derive an expression for the inverse demand curve for Newton’s Donuts. Describe your answer and show your calculations.

 

If the cost of producing Newton’s Donuts is constant at $0.15 per donut, should they reduce the price and thereafter, sell more donuts (assuming profit maximization is the company’s goal)?

 

 

Should Newton’s Donuts spend more on advertising?

How can the US Government place more importance on recycling?

Original work, NO RECYCLED WORK, to also include recycle journal AND essay DUE in 15 hours

In the Working Ahead section in Modules 1, 2, and 3, you were informed to collect items to be recycled and log a journal of these items. You were also instructed to select either Module 2 or Module 3 to collect these items.

Your assignment in this module is to submit your weeklong Recycling Journal, along with an analysis of your recycling efforts and an examination of the recycling process.

Be sure to examine what you have recycled in your chosen week and estimate how many grocery sacks of material you recycled—try to estimate the size. Results showing who recycled the most material will be posted by your facilitator in Module 5.

For this assignment, complete the following:

Part 1

Review your Recycling Journal for the week you selected. Write a report that covers the next two parts of this assignment.

Part 2

Based on what you identified as recyclable in one week and using this data, estimate how much garbage your entire locality or city could prevent sending to the landfill. Include the following:

  • What is the total population of your community? You may use reliable Internet resources to identify this information.
  • If everyone in your community recycled as much trash as you did for one week, how much garbage could your area recycle? To calculate this number, you can use your number and multiply it by the number of people in your community.
  • How much trash could your community save in a year? To calculate this number, multiply the weekly estimate for your community by the number of weeks in a year.
  • Do you think your community recycles enough? How can the US Government place more importance on recycling?

Part 3

Examine the process of recycling. Include the following:

  • Explain how recycled material is reused.
  • Describe what happens to recycled cans, bottles, and newspapers after they go to the recycling bin.
  • Examine the impact you have on creating renewed resources from these recycled items.

Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.
