Whether you are a case manager in a rural clinic, a prison, or a regional hospital’s treatment center, effective programs adhere to certain principles and guidelines. Within those settings, effective case managers follow practices that meet the competing demands of the job. These include clients’ needs, requirements of the treatment team, and procedures for ensuring the program’s efficient and effective operations. These practices can be grouped together to form the best practices for case management in addictions.

Unit VII Scholarly Activity
Sociologists research and write about current topics that are culturally, politically, socially, and economically important. One such subject is same-sex marriage.
For this assignment, you will research a few court cases. Your goal here is to study this subject as a scientist would. Therefore, it does not matter whether you agree with the ruling or not, you can still write objectively about it. Use the Internet to find court cases and news articles from mainstream news outlets to use for your references, along with the textbook.
Begin by looking up the
Loving v. Virginia case. Next, list the states that allow same-sex marriage. What were some of the arguments the states used in their legalization? What were some of the legal arguments against same-sex marriage? (Note: When looking for information, please refrain from religious reasoning or personal opinions; remember, you are looking at this as a scientist.) Do you think that the Supreme Court’s ruling on Loving v. Virginia changed much about American attitudes and practices? Does this case set precedent for same-sex marriage? How has this view changed over time? Do you see a shift in America’s view towards same-sex marriage? In what way is it changing?
Finally, briefly discuss how you feel about the subject. To what groups do you belong that help to shape your feelings about this issue? How do they help shape them?
Your assignment must be a minimum of two pages in length. As always, use APA formatting. Pay special attention to the proper citation of Internet resources.
Using a company of your choice, determine the strategic business goals. Develop an IT strategy that aligns to the business goals. You can use the balanced scorecard approach or you can develop your own method for defining and aligning the IT strategy to the business strategy. You will need to cite at least two credible sources that will provide justification for your strategy or approach.
Finding a company: If you are employed, it is best for you to use your current place of employment so you can practically apply the concepts in this assignment. Alternatively, you can use a nonprofit organization or any other organization you may have ties or access to.
Your IT strategy should include:
Business Goals and Objectives
List at least two or three specific business goals for the next year or two with an explanation of the business’ rationale for the goal.
List an objective for each business goal to explain what the company needs to do to achieve the goal.
IT Strategies aligned with business goals and objectives
List one or two IT strategies for each business goal
These should be recommended strategies that would enable the business goals and objectives to be achieved.
If your company already has IT strategies, you may provide an analysis and justification or new recommendation for each of the strategies
Organizational Structure
Describe the structure of the organization including:
Organizational design
Organizational culture
Leadership factors (the types of leadership displayed within the company)
Business processes
Physical layout (i.e., how many offices, virtual offices, international locations)
IT Infrastructure
Describe the current IT infrastructure including:
Hardware
Software
Network
IT resources
This should be a high-level overview
IT Challenges
Describe internal and external challenges IT faces in meeting the business needs
Include social and/or ethical considerations
Risks
Describe risks IT might face when implementing change
As you develop your strategy, you may want to consider the following:
An effective IT strategy will enable the business operations, helping business leaders achieve business goals more efficiently and effectively.
Focus on top priorities. Take the time to understand organizational issues, how they are related, and how they affect performance. Determine what will happen if nothing changes and where IT can have the greatest, positive impact.
Identify how IT supports business processes. The business is relying on their capabilities to achieve the business goals. The IT strategy should include a plan for supporting those business capabilities, creating efficiencies, and competitive advantage for the business.
Define IT priorities and governance for IT. Without priorities and a process for IT governance in place, progress will be slowed. An agreed upon plan for governing IT will enable the decision process.
