A key aspect of applying various therapeutic approaches in Gestalt Group Therapy has to do with different experimentation. Gestalt therapy likes to focus on moving from talking about issues to creating actions for change. Experiments allow group members to practice these new behaviors in a safe and trusting environment.
Review some of the techniques/experiments in chapter 11 as listed below and CHOOSE ONEfor this assignment.
- Experiments with Internal Dialogues
- Making the Rounds
- Fantasy Approaches
- Rehearsal
- The Exaggeration Technique
- Dream Work in Groups
1) Choose an Experiment - From the list above, choose one of these experiments to conduct with a "client." While it would be nice for you to practice with a small group of individuals, you are only required to practice one of these techniques with one individual. So find another willing friend, family member, or coworker to be your fake client! Some of these exercises might require that you use a "group," such as Making the Rounds. Reminder that it is important to practice applying these types of theories instead of simply reading about them!
2) Conduct Mock Experiment - Please know that you are on the Honor System to ensure that you conduct an actual mock experiment in this Advanced level Direct Practice concentration where experience and practice are key!
- Practice introducing the experiment to your "client" and explain what they will be doing and why
- Complete Gestalt experiment of your choice from the list
- Provide appropriate feedback to your client
- Then practice closing your session by recapping and summarizing what was learned
3) Report on Your Experience - Provide a written summary of your experience in APA format. - 30 points
- Provide insight into your client such as their age, gender, occupation, etc. but no name should be given.
- Make sure you have headers to clearly identify and clarify the different sections covered.
- Cite your information within your paper when you reference information you used from the text as I will be looking to see where you took the information learned and applied it to your experiences.
- Your summary should identify what you did, how it went, and your thoughts/reflections on the process as well as your performance. Did it go well? Where there areas you could improve on? Did you like the experiment? Do you feel it would be beneficial? Is there anything your would change? How would you use this with an entire group versus just an individual?
- part 2
- As you read last week, our services have changed drastically since the Pandemic began. Many agencies and individual Social Workers began conducting teletherapy for the first time. There have of course been positive and negatives to moving to remote services. Listen to the following guidelines for implementing teletherapy and then post a 150 word reaction/response to the Discussion Board (DB). In addition to your general reactions/thoughts, be sure to answer the following questions:- What do you think are the advantages of teletherapy for our clients?
- As a remote student, do you think services are effective when delivered remotely?
- What are some of the major concerns or disadvantages of teletherapy?Ep.52: Tips for Successfully Implementing TeletherapyPlease remember Discussion Board Posts are considered academic writing and will be evaluated as such. Your response should be in paragraph form. Also remember to use complete sentences, proper grammar, and capitalization. This is not a text message board.

Principles of Management
Reference: MGT490-Book-Chapter No-01 (The Exceptional Manager)
This chapter has introduced you to how Henry Mintzberg changed the perception of a manager's role by studying how they spent their working day and classifying managerial activities into decisional, interpersonal and informational roles. This gave a new insight into the activities involved in being a manager but did not distinguish between the things that people called ‘manager’ do that contribute to the management of the organisation (such as coordination and control) from the things they do that everyone in an organisation does (such as talking to other people). In this context, the earlier contribution of Fayol in outlining the main purposes of management is considered to still be of relevance, although it provides limited understanding of how managerial jobs are affected by the environment in which managers work.
you will need to do further research beyond reading the chapter.
Assignment Question(s):
1. To understand what managers do, explain how it is necessary to study both the activities performed by managers and the purposes of their activity. (05 Marks) (Min words 150-200)
2. As well as variation across the levels of management (first-tier, middle and top), how would you expect the manager's role to vary with the extent to which the organisational environment is changing, such as through new technology, changes in market demand or new forms of competition? (05 Marks) (Min words 200)
3. Mintzberg’s study in the 1960s came up with three important findings about a manager’s routine. What are they, and are they probably still the same today? (05 Marks) (Min words 150-200)
4. What is the potential importance of studying how managers like to spend their work time as well as how they actually allocate their work time between different activities? (05 Marks) (Min words 200)
5.Explain how it is possible that there might be a difference between successful and effective managers in terms of how each type of manager tends to spend their time. (05 Marks) (Min words 150-200)
6.What are the seven challenges of being a manager, and which one is the one I will probably most have to worry about during my lifetime?. (05 Marks) (Min words 150-200)
Important Note: -
1. Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least FOUR scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.
2. References required in the assignment. Use APA style for writing references.
Requirements: it is mentioned in the file for every question.

- Net profit margin
- Return on asset
- Return on equity
- Market value ratio- Earnings per share (EPS)
CONTENT:
The project must adhere to the guidelines given below.
1. Introduction
- describe what you are going to do and why
- followed by the background of the company.
2. Methodology
Calculate every ratio for each firm.
3. Finding and analysis (interpretation)
After showing the calculations, you compare the performance for 3 years (adding a graph in an advantage). Provide an explanation for each ratio (for example, discuss why this situation happen). Do this for all the required ratios one by one. Then you need to explain the performance of these two firms.
4. Conclusion and recommendation
Conclude your work by answering the questions below:
A. What is your judgment of the current financial condition of the company (overall for 5 major ratios)?
i. Liquidity ratio - Does the company look like a good credit risk in the short term? Prove this argument.
ii. Asset Management ratio - How well the company is using its assets? Prove this argument.
iii. Leverage ratio - -Will the company be able to pay off its long-term debt and pay interest as it comes due? Prove this argument.
iv. Profitable ratio - Do you feel the company performs well in terms of its ability to generate profit? Prove your argument.
v. Market value ratio - Do you feel the company represents a good investment? Prove this argument.

Read the Case Study on “Innovation at Uber: The launch of Express POOL” and critically discuss the problem and recommend the solution. You may refer to the following guiding questions to structure your argument and suggestions.
- How does Uber innovate? What is the role of data science in innovation at Uber?
- Why does Uber have so many different ways to run experiments? What are the pros and cons of each type?
- Evaluate the Express development project. What did Uber do well in this project? What could have been improved?
- Based on the data available to you, other insights from the dataset, and additional qualitative considerations, what would you recommend that Stock do? Should he increase wait times from two to five minutes in the six treatment cities of the experimental launch? If so, when should he do so?
