Over the years she has gained considerable experience in conducting evaluations and needs assessments in a variety of social service areas--e.g., educational programs, services for the elderly, alcohol treatment services, and programs for the mentally impaired. A former client for whom she recently completed a study approached her for some additional consulting work. The previous study involved determining the needs for graduated living environments for the elderly in their rural community. Dr. Price recognizes the importance of maintaining a good reputation since much of her work comes from previous clients who have been satisfied. At this time, however, Dr. Price has pressing commitments to other clients/projects. This new request, although it still related to the elderly population, was outside of the realm of her specific expertise.

Managers at the call centre can easily obtain statistics on virtually any part of the process. And data collection is built into the system, making it unintrusive. Obviously, the manager‟s goal is to make sure all calls are answered quickly and that customers are satisfied. Information from the system can then be used in a variety of ways. For instance, a manager can use the information from the system to compare a worker‟s output to that of his colleagues, to his own earlier output, to historical outputs reflecting similar work conditions at other times. He can evaluate the number and duration of calls service representatives answer on a given day. 3. What uses of the…arrow_forward
