Political and Economic Trends in Human Service Delivery Systems September 27, 2014 Alice C. Tanguy University of Phoenix Economic and political events relate to modern trends in the human service field with the objectives of meeting the increasing needs of people universally.

Business architecture also incorporates different concepts and is characterized by fast technological changes and innovation.
