Assignment: Read the case "Cutting the Budget of the Harristown Family Service" in Appendix 5 of the Grobman textbook (pp. 421-428) and write a 4-6-page case analysis addressing the seven discussion questions

You will use the Q& A format for this case analysis, and keep in mind that you need to elaborate your answers, which means that I expect your answer to each question to be at least a paragraph and not a short sentence or bullet points.

The case analysis should be double-spaced, in a 12-point Times New Roman font, and with 1-inch margin.
