Human services professionals who focus on rectifying human rights violations, social problems, mental health, or welfare needs often do so on a national and international level. In the national and international sphere, there is a great need for social change agents, leaders, and advocates on behalf of human rights, as well as for other issues. Attempting to address these issues at the national and international levels presents a unique set of challenges for human services professionals.

To prepare:

Select one national and one international challenge related to human and social services professions and/or the roles and responsibilities of human and social services professionals anywhere in the world. These should be challenges you or a professional might face when attempting to address issues at the national and international levels, such as professional recognition, apathy, or cultural barriers.
Think about why addressing these challenges is important to the profession, as well as what difference its resolution or improvement might make.
With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4
Post a brief description of the national and international challenges you selected. Explain why addressing these challenges is important to the profession and what difference their resolution or improvement might make. Be specific, and provide examples to illustrate your points.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

3. Terms of the Bid Offers Exhibit 5 (Page 12) shows the details of the offer terms for MCI as of March 29, 2005. At first glance, the offer from Qwest seems more attractive: higher cash value and higher stock value. Why does the Board prefer the offer from Verizon? In addition to the different past acquisition history of the two companies, a detailed analysis of the terms indicates that they have different combinations of optionality (embedded call and put options). For instance, although both offers have a call option component when the stock prices of acquiring companies increase to a high level, the down-side protection against price declines is different. For Qwest, when share price is below 3.74, how the value of the offer look like in terms of optionality? How does this option feature influence the true value of the two offers?

4. Stock-Based Merger Wave In late 1990s, many companies were pursuing acquisition-based growth strategies. A notable example is the acquisition of MCI by WorldCom, which proved to be a failure. A salient feature of this type of acquisition is the large part of the deal being financed by the acquiring company’s stocks. Why do acquires prefer to pursue stock-based acquisition? You may illustrate your point using the deal of WorldCom-MCI. (Hint: if company A buys company B when Company A’s share is overpriced, would stock-based acquisition be a desirable strategy?)
