Group Analysis

3.0 BCG Analysis Pride and Ferrell (2010, p.35) states that Boston Consulting Group (BCG) approach is based on the philosophy that a product’s market growth rate and its market share are important considerations in determining its marketing strategy. A company’s business units can be categorized into four categories which are stars, cash cows, question marks and dogs. On the vertical axis (Refer to figure 1), market growth provides a measure of market attractiveness while on the horizontal axis…

I observed an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) group in Paterson, NJ, which is a self-help group that helps alcoholics in the recovery and treatment phase. It’s an open group for anyone who wants to change their drinking habits. They have the meeting every Friday at 7:30 pm. There’s no specific qualifications to attend this group. No age limit, specific race, or education is required to become a member. The program is free for any individual who wants to stop their alcohol assumptions. The group’s main…

The Hain Celestial Group, a producer of organic and natural sustenances and refreshments, has been riding high in the market. In any case, on August 15, it came colliding with earth when it revealed a bookkeeping issue, postponed its entire year money related report and said it presumably wouldn 't meet its profit direction for 2016. Investors have invested shares in the organization, situated in Long Island, wiping out $1.5 billion in market capitalization.The issue, Hain said, was that it may…

The demographic chosen for this counseling group is women, more specifically women who have survived incest. In leading this group, I would screen women ages twenty and older who have survived a traumatic experience with sexual abuse from a family member. Most ideally these potential members will already be involved with individual therapy, and ready to enter a group atmosphere. Due to the nature of the group it is important that members have the ego strength to explore the material discussed,…

There is no absolute certainty that a group leader can ensure confidentiality within a group. Group leaders cannot control what others do outside the group. In fact group leaders cannot control what a person will say in a session. This is one reason that it is critical that a group leader has the proper training (Corey, Corey & Corey, 2014). As Corey, Corey & Corey (2014) explain that new therapists are at times put into situations to conduct group meetings they aren’t experienced in or…

III. The Group as a System Systems Theory showed how each individual contributed and formed relationships within the group. We were a bunch of interconnected parts working together to form a whole. We each came from different backgrounds, different life experiences and personalities and this theory looks at how we all came together to be “Team Delta”. There are a few elements of a system that I will be hitting on as they pertain to our group, specifically: openness to environment, output…

Reflective Journal 2 – Groups Presentation I enjoyed the experience of working in a group to produce a presentation about a topic collectively decided by us all as a team. A significant issue that stood out to me was my nerves about public speaking. Being told about the presentation made me anxious before we even started as I knew that I was not confident speaking in front of other people whether I know them or not. It has always been a weakness of mine, however I had confidence knowing…

Jacobs et al. (2012) seven categories of groups, the discussion group setting would pose the most challenge for me as a counselor/facilitator. I foresee this challenge based on my own strong dominate personality and persona. “Discussion group leaders primarily need to be aware of any member who tries to dominate or distract the group” (p.42). I will admit I often present a strong and powerful demeanor solely based on upbringing and career choice. This specific group focuses on topics and issues…
