Scenario
Imagine that you are on a team of counselors who have been called in to provide consultation. You begin your work by interviewing trainees at the site. Your first interview is with Kara, a master's level student at her local university who is doing an internship at the agency. Kara states that her most puzzling client is an Eastern European male named Dominik; he has been in the United States for about a year on a work visa and is working hard to "blend in." Dominik sought counseling because his employer suggested that it might help him be less distracted at work improve his ability to complete tasks. Kara states that she diagnosed Dominik with ADHD because he was having difficulty sitting still and focusing, but she did not refer him for a medical evaluation. Kara expresses confidence that things are going well because when Dominik arrives for his appointment, he says, "Hey Doc!" and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Dominik schedules appointments over his lunch hour so he will not miss work, and he brings Kara lunch so she can eat too. Kara wants Dominik to feel welcome and comfortable, so she accepts what he brings. Sometimes they sit outside if the weather is nice. Kara says she believes that fresh air is good for the wellbeing of her client. Kara confides to you that yesterday, Dominik asked if they could meet at a restaurant instead of eating at the office. Kara says she felt a little funny about this but she said, "Yes." Kara also discloses that recently Dominik "friend-requested" her on Facebook and LinkedIn, both of which she accepted. Kara enjoys talking to Dominik and finds him to be good company. He has only four more sessions of counseling left at the agency and she hopes they can still be friends after he completes treatment. When you ask to review Kara's case notes, you do not see a supervisor's signature. Kara says she told her internship supervisor that things are going well so she does not feel the need to staff this case; she states that they agreed that Kara could exercise her own professional judgment. On the treatment plan, you see that Kara states that she is using a directive approach and supplementing it with humor therapy, which she read about on the Internet. She describes this approach as "common sense counseling," but she is not able to articulate why it will be helpful for Dominik or discuss the evidence that this approach helps clients get better. When you ask Kara how she knows her counseling sessions are benefitting Dominik, she says, "Well, he keeps coming back, so it must be worth his while, right?"
Using the Web sites for the ACA and AMHCA ethics codes, the ACA Ethical Decision-Making Model, and the Calmes, Piazza, and Laux (2013) DOI: 10.1002/j.2161-007X.2013.00025.x article assigned in this unit's studies, prepare a draft of your conclusions regarding this case that you will review with your consulting team.
1) Prepare a multi-step plan for the agency to follow in re-aligning its interns' and superiors' clinical work with professional standards.

WBG manufactures and sells electronic transducers that are used in military and commercial products. WBG has three divisions: Transducer Division. Military Division, and Commercial Division. The Transducer Division designs and produces transducers that are sold externally as well as internally to the Military Division and the Commercial Division. Both the Military Division and the Commercial Division incorporate transducers in their final products that are sold to non- WBG end users. Because of the unique proprietary design of the WBG transducers. Military and Commercial Divisions only use WBG transducers in their products. All of WBG's sales are in the United States.
The three divisions are profit centers and about 50 percent of the Transducer Division output is sold externally, while the remainder is sold internally to the Military Division and the Commercial Division. WBG currently uses a full-cost transfer pricing policy for the transducers. The senior managers of the three divisions receive about 40 percent of their compensation tied to the performance of their division and the balance is received as base salary.
Because of the incessant bickering among WBG's three divisions' management teams over its current transfer pricing policy, the CEO of WBG attended a seminar on transfer pricing. After attending the seminar, the CEO proposed the following new policy for transducers: “Each month the transfer price of transducers will be the same as the external market price the Transducer Division receives for transducers sold to external customers, if. and only if. the Transducer Division is at capacity for the month. Otherwise, the transfer price is the Transducer Division's variable cost for the month.”
Required:
You work for the CEO. Write a memo to the CEO that (a) explains the benefits of the proposed policy, (b) explains the likely changes in behavior among the three divisions that the new policy is likely to produce, and (c) states what additional data the CEO and you should collect and how you would analyze the data before making a decision regarding whether or not the new transfer pricing policy should be adopted.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, nonfarm labor
productivity rose at an annualized rate of 0.9 percent in the
second quarter of 2017 as hours worked and output per worker both
rose at their fastest pace in 18 months. Compared to the same
quarter in 2016, productivity increased at a rate of 1.2 percent,
its best performance in two years., while unit labor costs fell at
a rate of 0.2 percent. From 2007 to 2016, labor productivity
increased at an average annual rate of 1.2 percent, well below its
long-term growth rate of 2.1 percent from 1947 to 2016. This is an
indication of a decline in the potential growth rate, blamed in
part on a shortage of workers and low capital expenditure.
