We know from the text that the ultimate criterion is theoretical, whereas the actual criterion is our best attempt at capturing the ultimate criterion. What are some implications of having little overlap (relevance) between an ultimate criterion and an actual criterion? What would this mean for an organization that is trying to assess the performance of its employees?”

In this case study, we explore the meticulous planning and execution of a charity fundraising gala to support a local nonprofit organization. The gala aimed to raise funds for underprivileged children's education and healthcare. The organizing team faced the task of coordinating a luxurious evening event, complete with entertainment, fine dining, and silent auctions, all while staying within a limited budget. They also had to secure sponsorships, promote the event effectively, and ensure that all proceeds went directly to the cause. The study examines how the team managed to achieve their goals by leveraging volunteer support, creative cost-saving measures, and building partnerships with local businesses. Question: How did the organizing team balance the desire for an upscale gala with the need to maximize funds for the charity, and what strategies can be adapted for similar fundraising events with limited resources?
