Why are each of these components valuable?
A useful and complete logic model should paint and describe an image of how a specfic effort or initiative is supposed to pan out. This model explains why a chosen strategy is a good solution to the problem or not. A deep and effective logic models creates an explicit, and sometimes visual, statement of the activities that will usher in new change and results onemight expect to see for the community and its people. A solid and useful logic model uses participants in the effort of moving in the same direction by providing...
Omitting any portion of this model will leave the user blank minded and wanting for more useful data that can be incorporated into this tool. The WK Kellog Foundation (2004) suggested that "A logic model is a systematic and visual way to present and share your understanding of the relationships among the resources you have to operate your program, the activities you plan, and the changes or results you hope to achieve." Using this definition it appears that the model must be taken in full consideration before it can be used for any type of purpose, good or bad.
2. Which components are not valuable? Again, be specific.
Since value is a highly subjective and qualitative term, each component may or may not be classified in this manner. It is obvious that some components of this logic model are more useful than others, but that practicality and value are not necessarily the same thing. Specifically in the MPA logic model, the actual requirements presented by the university to the students is less valuable because they are not very practical. To me, the discipline and willpower required to complete some very questionable assignments is a more valuable skill than actually performing well on these tasks. In this example these inputs are very general and are seen everywhere. Essentially they are the…

Systems Media Table: Comparison System Uses Word processor The main purpose of this program is to construct sentences of the perceived information and manipulate paragraphs to form a word document. The program uses a display format 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' to enhance the quality of the expected hardcopy. WordPerfect and Microsoft Word are mostly superseded by both organization and personal computers to perform functions such as word formatting, letter processing and some simple designing. Accordingly, it is the
Portfolio Management In the project portfolio management context, a portfolio is an aggregation of active programs, projects and other business activities that indicate an organization's priorities, investments and allocation of resource (The standard for portfolio management, 2008). According to the editors of PM Network, "Portfolio management is the centralized management of one or more of those portfolios to achieve specific strategic business objectives" (2008, p. 75). Using project portfolio management
First the process of co-creation will be defined, followed several examples of successful co-creations of the customer experience. 5. Customer experience is the brand and co-creation is the process A firm that migrates to a service-dominant logic will move from selling a commodity to co-creating the customer's experiences. If you utilize the brand definition in the introduction portion of this paper -- a brand is the summation of a customer's interactions
Negotiation Skills A High Impact Negotiations Model: An Answer to the Limitations of the Fisher, Ury Model of Principled Negotiations This study aims to discover the ways in which blocked negotiations can be overcome by testing the Fisher, Ury model of principled negotiation against one of the researcher's own devising, crafted after studying thousands of negotiation trainees from over 100 multinational corporations on 5 continents. It attempts to discern universal applications of
) I will return to the strengths and limitations of growth accounting as a tool to use to assess the economic development of these nations below. Growth Accounting Growth accounting is an economic method designed to measure the relative and absolute contributions of different factors to economic growth and development. Developed by Robert Solow in 1957, this methodological approach disaggregates or decomposes the different elements of economic growth. The most important assumption
Evolution of Chemistry to the Periodic Table of the Elements One of the differences between scientists of the 17th and 18th centuries vs. scientists today is that the chemists of times past were often theologians. They studied chemistry and other forms of science because they were incredibly devout and sought to understand how the world worked; they desired to better understand the hand of the creator (Ihde, 1990). Notable 17th Century Chemists Jean
