For the goals that do not need to be revised, provide rationale for why this goal should remain the same. Support your response.
In the A Way Forward—Action section, recommend an actionable step that should be taken in order to close the gap between current state and desired future state for each identified focus area and related goal. Your response should include the following for each actionable step:

Criminal Justice
IntroductionInductive research can be easily conducted, although it is not generally used in the criminology and criminal justice areas because it requires that one move from a specific starting point of data to a more general idea or theory to explain patterns found in the data. Deductive reasoning is more often employed in criminological research because it allows the researcher to begin with a general idea and direction of research and then deduce more specific expectations from these general ideas, which can be tested with empirical data. In either case, social research in the criminal justice context aims to make connections between theory and empirical data. This cycle of theory to data and data to theory is characterized as a "research circle" made up of inductive, deductive, and descriptive research.In your main post:Develop a problem statement and hypothesis you could test in your current or desired criminal justice career, based on your reading of the Hernon and Schwartz article "What Is a Problem Statement?"Identify the primary independent and dependent variables that would support your hypothesis.Explain how the inductive research process differs from the deductive research process providing examples to explore when each type of research is most appropriate.Specify whether you would use inductive or deductive research and reasoning to test your hypothesis based on the research circle discussed in Chapter 2 of Fundamentals of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice.

BMGT 364 University of Maryland Global Week 1 Smithfield Custom Furniture Discussion
Initial PostThis week's discussion is a case analysis of Smithfield Custom Furniture developed specifically for this course. Your posting should answer the questions posed using this week's course materials to support your answers. It is important to write concisely and to follow the detailed instructions provided below. Include in-text citations and references in a reference list. For citation examples, use the APA Resources on the Content page. Case Discussion SMITHFIELD’S CUSTOM FURNITUREIt is 1901. Alicia Smithfield, daughter of the founder of Smithfield Custom Furniture, just inherited the company. She is the only surviving heir to the furniture empire her father built. Headquartered in upstate New York, the company has grown significantly over the past 60 years. Began in a shed built next to his log cabin, Jonas Smithfield’s quality furniture developed a huge following among New York City’s wealthiest residents.After being educated in the best business schools in Europe and America, Alicia has run the business side-by-side with her father for the past 15 years. During a time when there were many issues confronting the business, a tree being felled took an unexpected route and brought Jonas’ life to a surprising end.The company had just moved to a facility large enough to house its workers: 10 carpenters; 5 furniture designers; 5 wood finishers (varnish and dye experts); 10 machine operators to assist with the various equipment needed to cut the wood into various designs, polish and sand the wood; 5 mechanics to keep the vehicles (5 trucks) and boats (7) that transported wood from upstate New York and Canada to the work area in good repair; 15 lumberjacks who cut wood in nearby areas and moved it downriver by boat or over the rugged highway by truck; and 5 office personnel who assisted with filing, invoicing, drafting and responding to correspondence, handling customer inquiries, and performing other necessary office functions. More than half of these employees were hired in the past 5 years.Alicia's Big IssuesThe major issues confronting Alicia Smithfield are these: (1) The furniture manufacturing functions are very disorganized. It is not clear how to best organize these functions. For example, the varnish and dye experts each use a different method to complete all of their tasks. (2) The production schedule is a mess. It is not clear which projects should be completed first in order to ensure products are being delivered to customers on time. (3) The lumberjacks, both in cutting trees down and shipping them by truck or boat, differ on the best methods to perform these tasks. (4) Tempers are flaring as a result of the disorganization. The office, clerical, and support workers are rude to each other and can’t seem to act as a cohesive work unit.(5) While the company is financially successful, as it has grown from a small family-owned business to a large and complex enterprise, the organizational structure has not kept pace. Few formal rules exist and the keeping and maintenance of records are haphazard. (6) Employees are feeling overworked and losing satisfaction in the work they are doing. They believe their basic needs are not being addressed.Alicia's Proposed Issue Solutions Alicia Smithfield is familiar with the writings and contributions of each of the contributors to management theory you will read about this week. She has decided to hire one person from the readings to solve each of the issues listed above. But, she is unclear as to which individuals in the readings are best suited to solve each specific issue. Your Task for Your Initial Post You are to answer for Alicia Smithfield any four (4) of the above mentioned six (6) issues. Specifically, she has asked you to recommend a consultant to solve any four of the six issues confronting her. You have been requested to explain to Alicia why you selected the four consultants you choose to solve each of the four issues you selected. Each consultant will solve one of the four issues you identified that particular consultant to address. You should explain the major contribution/idea of the consultant selected and how that contribution/idea applies to the specific issue you have recommended that person solve. You should identify the school of thought that each consultant represents. Note: You may not use any of the individuals in the readings to solve more than one of the four (4) issues. In the event a person you select is deceased, do not let that inconvenience stand in your way. You may still use that individual to solve a specific issue.For research associated with this discussion, you must use course materials only. You must provide APA formatted in-text citations and references for each of the four (4) issues you select.Format for Your Initial PostYou must use the exact numbers and their corresponding headings for each of your 4 selections for your initial post. For example, one student's post may be numbered 1, 3, 5, 6; another student's post may be numbered 1, 2, 4, 5; and so forth. Any four of the six issues listed that a student selects to answer will be acceptable. 1. Manufacturing Functions are Disorganized 2. Production Schedule is a Mess3. Lumberjack Disagreement Methods To Cut Trees/Load Boat 4. Tempers Flare among Office Support Staff 5. Lack of Formal Rules/Record-keeping Processes 6. Basic Needs and Job Satisfaction Overlooked
