Answer the following question. About 150 – 200 words for each question

 

 

1. Watch the video: Need to Know: Prison Reform

http://www.pbs.org/video/2217571818/

 

Citing specific examples from the video, from the standpoint of both cost ( i.e., tax-payer expenditures) and public safety, how do alternatives to mass incarceration, like rehabilitation (e.g., re-entry courts), actually reduce costs and provide more public safety? Consider, for example, what the nationwide effect might be if more states and municipalities adopted the approach described in Texas.

 

 2. watch the video: Broken Justice

 

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/can-pilot-program-keep-prisoners-going-back-jail/

 

With a prison population at over 2.2 million, and since most prisoners will be released back into society, that translates into over 650,000 ex-offenders released back into society every year. Making sure they’re ready and that they won’t recidivate has thus become a significant criminal justice policy (and public safety) challenge. According to criminologists, there are three key elements of successful re-entry: employment, transitional housing, and receiving mentoring and community support. With reference to specific examples, then, how is Maryland’s pilot program designed to address these elements? Taken together, in addition to employment, why is it thought that the real challenge is in getting ex-offenders “life-ready” as well?

In Innovation as Usual: How to Help Your People Bring Great Ideas to Life (2013), Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg discuss the importance of establishing systems within organizations that promote not only the creativity that results in innovation, but also make it possible for employees to bring innovative ideas to fruition. Miller and Wedell-Wedellsborg argue that a leader’s primary job “is not to innovate; it is to become an innovation architect, creating a work environment that helps . . . people engage in the key innovation behaviors as part of their daily work” (p. 4). Such a work environment must be reinforced by innovation architecture—the structures within an organization that support an innovation, from the brainstorming phase to final realization. The more well developed the architecture and the simpler the processes involved, the more likely employees are to be innovators.

For this assignment, you will research the innovation architecture of at least three companies that are well-known for successfully supporting a culture of innovation. Write a 1,500-word paper that addresses the following:

1.  What particular elements of each organization’s culture, processes, and management systems and styles work well to support innovation?
2. Why do you think these organizations have been able to capitalize on innovation and intrapreneurship while others have not?
3. Based on what you have learned, what processes and systems might actually stifle innovation and intrapreneurship?
4. Imagine yourself as an innovation architect. What structures or processes would you put in place to foster a culture of innovation within your own organization?

Include in-text citations to at least four reputable secondary sources (such as trade journals, academic journals, and professional or industry websites) in your paper.
