Pharmacists face ethical choices constantly - sometimes dramatic life-and-death decisions, but more often subtle, less conspicuous choices that are... nonetheless important. Among the topics confronted are assisted suicide, conscientious refusal, pain management, equitable distribution of drug resources within institutions and managed care plans, confidentiality, and alternative and non-traditional therapies. Veatch and Haddad's book, first published in 1999, was the first collection of case studies based on the real experiences of practicing pharmacists, for use as a teaching tool for pharmacy students. The second edition accounts for the many changes in pharmacy since 1999, including assisted suicide in Oregon, the purchasing of less expensive drugs from Canada, and the influence of managed care on prescriptions. The presentation of some cases is shortened, most are revised and updated, and two new chapters have been added.The first new chapter presents a new model for analyzing cases, while the second focuses on the ethics of new drug distribution systems, for example hospitals where pharmacists are forced to choose drugs based on cost-effectiveness, and internet based pharmacies.

Case Studies In Physical Education: REAL WORLD PREPARATION FOR TEACHING introduces the case study method to the field of physical education. The case... method, which has been used for many years to educate business, law, and medical students, now offers to the physical education field an effective, useful means to explore challenging scenarios that physical educators are likely to encounter in the schools. These cases will help practicing and future teachers develop the skills necessary to meet these challenges. Case Studies In Physical Education was prepared by 36 physical educators at the elementary, secondary, and university levels and edited by Sandra A. Stroot, Professor, School of Physical Activity and Educational Services, The Ohio State University. The text explores challenging scenarios that practicing and future physical educators are likely to encounter in the schools. Cases are drawn from real-life experiences in a variety of contexts 3/4 in elementary, middle, and high schools; in urban, suburban, rural schools; and in wealthy and needy districts. Relevant topics include class management, diversity assessment, inclusion, relations with coworkers, marginalization of physical education, and gender equity. This book provides a concrete, understandable way for physical educators to connect educational theory with what actually happens in school. Questions concerning educational philosophy, methodology, curriculum, discipline, and assessment become more meaningful when explored in a case scenario where the central characters confront situations that develop as a consequence of pedagogical choices. The cases in this book promote critical thinking and help develop problem-solving skills. Each case is followed by questions that prompt readers to analyze the situation, formulate a plan of action, and anticipate the potential consequences of the plan's implementation. Individually, with colleagues, or in a class setting, readers can explore and debate the benefits and limitations of strategies for addressing the issues in a safe, supportive environment. Educators will learn there is no single right answer to classroom challenges and they need to be prepared, informed, and flexible to meet the diverse needs of today's students. Readers will also learn the importance of collaborating with colleagues. The cases are written in an appealing, engaging style. Well-developed characters and richly detailed scenarios convey the fact that that these were real situations encountered by real people.

The ever expanding market need for information on how to apply project management principles and the PMBOK contents to day-to-day business situations... has been met by our case studies book by Harold Kerzner. That book was a spin-off from and ancillary to his best selling text but has gained a life of its own beyond adopters of that textbook. All indications are that the market is hungry for more cases while our own need to expand the content we control, both in-print and online woudl benefit from such an expansion of project management "case content". The authors propose to produce a book of cases that compliment Kerzner's book. A book that offers cases beyond the general project management areas and into PMI's growth areas of program management and organizational project management. The book will be structured to follow the PMBOK in coverage so that it can not only be used to supplement project management courses, but also for self sudy and training courses for the PMP Exam.

In 2008, Ashoka launched the Changemaker Campus InitiativeA" which applies Ashoka's rigorous criteria to select and support universities as they develop... and implement a comprehensive social entrepreneurship plan. Through the lessons learned from this network, and with input from its broader global network of those experienced in the field, Ashoka aims to set a new standard for social entrepreneurship education. Indeed, despite the rising demand, there remains a dire need for quality coursework and global teaching case studies. Social entrepreneurs - and the pressing challenges they solve - are not bound by geographic borders or a single political environment, yet there is a lack of the materials necessary to equip students with the skills and mind-set required to catalyze systemic social change. What few high-quality case studies do exist typically highlight social entrepreneurs within the United States. This cooperation with oikos within the Social Entrepreneurship Track of the annual oikos Global Case Competition is a critical vehicle for tackling that challenge. As a result of this effort, more locally relevant case studies are being written, peer-reviewed, and judged than ever before, and are able to make their way into the hands of global audiences eager to adopt them into their courses. Building social entrepreneurship skills and problem-solving abilities are best practiced and honed using real-life examples and strategic challenges - not just learning theories in a vacuum. Case studies provide this exposure and real-time training in systemic problem-solving. Through these 15 teaching cases, students learn that social entrepreneurship is about identifying root causes of problems and applying a solution that tackles the system. As study upon study has shown, the band-aid approach does not work. To effectively address a social problem, the solution must continually adapt and evolve based on market feedback about what works and what needs to change in the model. Case Studies in Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainability is the second volume resulting from the oikos Global Case Writing Competition - an annual program launched in 2003 to promote the publication of high-quality teaching cases in corporate sustainability. This book expands the collection with award-winning global cases in the rapidly growing field of social entrepreneurship and sustainability. In view of the growing importance of various sustainability trends, management schools are increasingly challenged to adapt their entrepreneurship and business curricula. Management education needs to reflect the trends and provide a broadened understanding of value creation. Sustainability is a concept that demands that organizations consider the legitimate expectations of different stakeholders in their value creation processes. At the same time, it underlines the fact that many sustainability trends offer new business opportunities that entrepreneurs will seize. As a result, value creation processes need to be reorganized in order to create economic capital while developing social capital and preserving natural capital. Indeed, entrepreneurial organizations are increasingly dealing with these challenges. The case studies in this book explore both the opportunities and pitfalls entrepreneurs - working with organizations with for-profit, hybrid and non-profit business models - face in targeting sustainability issues and how their values and core assumptions impact their business strategies. They describe new patterns of value creation, new alliances, and the challenges of dealing with existing paradigms. It is clear that new ways of doing business with a common objective of maximizing social impact are substantially shaping markets and society.
