• Industry/Primary Competitors
• Key Products
• Identifiable Customer Segments (if your firm sells directly to consumers)

Identify four or five major decision criteria and a few alternative solutions.

Identify symptoms and causes. What are the causes or factors producing the situation? How do you know these are causal factors (the symptoms of the issue)? What are the most fundamental causes of all the problems? Please use theories and concepts you have learned from this course and from other courses, such as P ADM 510 (Organizational Behavior), to analyze the situation. For example, if you noted that a root cause for the problems is poor leadership, then you should use what you have learned about leadership theories in P ADM 510 to analyze this root cause and the situation.
* How?
Identify four or five major decision criteria and a few alternative solutions. Are your decision criteria pertinent, relevant, and in some way quantifiable? Are these criteria equally important when evaluating alternatives? Did they matter? Do they allow you to clearly differentiate among your alternatives? Do you use them in evaluating your alternatives? Are all of your alternatives realistic and plausible, or do you add “strawman” alternatives? Based on your decision criteria, how did you reach your recommendation or recommended solution (i.e., why, for example, is Alternative 1 better or worse when evaluated against your decision criteria)? Based on your recommended solution, what specific course of action would you adopt to implement your recommendation? Please justify why your recommended solution and actions are appropriate and able to solve the issues or problems you identified at the beginning of your analysis. Please also consider the assumptions you made in proposing the solution. Are the assumptions valid? What if your proposed solution fails—what is your contingency plan?

jimmy Ryce

The Civil Commitment for Sexually Violent Predators’ Treatment and Care Act, enacted in response to the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 9-year-old Jimmy Ryce by sex offender Juan Chavez in 1995, is federal legislation that provides, among other things, a civil commitment procedure for the long term treatment of sexually violent predators.

The Act defines certain sex offenders—“sexually violent predators”—as having a mental abnormality and seeks to have these offenders involuntarily and indefinitely committed to an appropriate “secure facility” for treatment, but only after the offenders have already served their criminal sentences in jail. Moreover, it applies only to persons who have already been convicted of a sexually violent crime. Although the Florida Legislature passed the Jimmy Ryce Act unanimously, the Act is controversial to courts, academia, and civil rights activists because it raises constitutional concerns.
