Create a PowerPoint presentation for a meeting to review these laws. In your PowerPoint presentation, explain to the key managers how these laws impact the recruitment and selection process. Be aware of any other state laws that may have additional requirements.

In your discussion, explain how the laws intertwine. In addition, explain the repercussions for noncompliance.

Explain how the number of employees in the company affects the company’s status if the company is not in compliance.

Use the library, Internet, and other resources to research your response.

The goal of intellectual property law is to encourage innovation.  Individuals and companies will be far less likely to create new or improved products, services, and works such as movies and albums if others can readily copy and profit from their efforts.

Choose one of the scenarios below and determine which type of intellectual property law applies and whether it would, in fact, provide any remedy.  Remember to identify and explain the elements necessary to claim protection as intellectual property, why you think those elements are or are not present, and what other information you would need to make this determination.

Respond to at least two colleagues by doing all of the following:

· Offer critiques of their logic model as if you were a member of their work groups. 

• Identify strengths of the logic models.
• Identify potential weaknesses in the assumptions or        areas that may require additional information or clarification.

· Offer substantial information to assist your colleagues’ efforts such as: 

• Information to support their understanding of the        problems and needs in this population
• Suggestions related to intervention activities, and        potential outcomes

A logic model would help us to understand the needs of the community and identify barriers to services. In looking at the needs of the community I reside in, one specific need that continues to arise is that of transportation. I live in a very rural area where public transportation is almost unheard of. There are no bus lines, taxis, or UBER. Many drivers for UBER or LIFT, will not drive out this far to aid individuals. Clients have difficulty accessing services unless they have a caseworker who is willing to transport, family in the area, or friends they can count on.

A logic model would help to identify the issue and create a plan to overcome the challenges faced with no public transportation. We could identify the need and potential solutions to the problem. Dudley tells us that “logic model provides an organizing framework for understanding evaluations” (Dudley, 2018, p. 169). IN looking at the lack of transportation, we may see a pattern in untreated mental health and substance abuse as having a correlation with a lack of transportation to appointments and no access to providers.

The short-term outcomes of public transportation would be greater access to services, such as; mental health counseling, drug and alcohol counseling, parenting, and individual counseling. The long-term outcomes would be lowered drug abuse, wider spread mental health treatment, extended revenue for the community as resources are being utilized, and the potential for lower mental health hospitalizations. Depending on how the intervention is implemented, will depend on the outcome (Dudley, 2016). The logic model, at the intervention stage, provides a framework to improve the interventions being used, (Dudley, 2016, p. 169). It allows the intervention to be focused on the unmet needs of the client and address potential success in outcomes, (Dudley, 2016).

Problem

In the 5F5I assignment is assigned five items from the item listed in Porter’s 5 forces. For each item you need to: (1) explain the item, (2) explain how it affects the specific force, (3) bring real-world example that shows both the item and its effect on the specific force (the effect may be either to reduce or to increase the specific force). There is no need to do any/much research; you can use examples based on your / common knowledge; the example can be of either direction (that is, the effect can be of either increase or decrease in the force); please find new examples (can’t use our class examples)

The five items are;

1.Rivalry: Fixed costs are

2.Rivalry: Industry demand growth rate is

3. Rivalry: Buyers’ switching costs are

4.  Buyers: Extent of buyer’s profits is

5.  Rivalry: Number of competitors is

Walden has devoted an entire website to making visible its actions and activities about social change. At the social change website, you will find videos, annual reports, text, and images. As you explore this data source, consider what text, images, and reports you would like to include as part of your data analysis exercise.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Choose one of the three social change literature review articles found in this week’s Learning Resources and review the article in detail.
• Explore the Walden Social Change website and locate an additional document, video, or webpage that will inform your understanding of the meaning of positive social change. Reflect on any additional sources you find.
• Next, write an analytic memo based on the information you gathered from the Walden social change website and any other documents or websites that might inform your changing impressions about the meaning of positive social change.
• Finally, review the media programs related to coding and consider how you will use this information to support this Discussion. Note: In your Excel Video Coding template there is a tab for your website data. Use this tab to place your content and codes for the website.

By Day 4

Prepare a brief explanation of your understanding of the meaning of positive social change thus far. Refer to the additional sources you have reviewed this week, and comment on how they are shaping your experience. Use the data you gathered from your analytic memo to support your explanation.

Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
