Case Study “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do”

Summary:

Social Service Agency (SSA) is a sectarian family service agency that provides counseling, family life education and other public service education programs to the community. It was founded by its major funding source, a sectarian fundraising and allocating organization called the Community Planning Agency (CPA) and still remains a division instead of a separate agency. When considering the separation of the SSA from the CPA many things must be considered such as the legal, financial, and political ramifications. This case study explores an organizations complex web of stakeholders, interests, and dependencies.

Using a report on the potentials ramifications, you will have to decide whether or not the SSA should separate from the CPA.
