ABSTRACT

This chapter will briefly present some technological tools that are commonly utilized by contemporary social work managers. The Great Recession may have officially ended in June of 2009 according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, but for the most vulnerable among us-the homeless, jobless, hungry, disabled, and so forth- economic and emotional recovery is far complete. President Obama, with implicit support of congressional Democrats, has attempted unsuccess fully in each of his budget proposals since he first took office in 2009 to cap the tax deductibility of charitable donations at 28 percent. Social work is a profession governed by ethics and values; therefore, any social worker practicing social entrepreneurship must abide by the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers. According to the NASW Code of Ethics, a client's interests must be of primary concern to a social worker. Human service organizations began to adopt e-mail systems around this time to enhance communication among staff.
