and domestic animals and livestock
include TB, HIV/AIDS, and malaria
Question 37
The comprehensive Primary Health Care was proposed by Scott
et al. (2016) as the best way to respond to an Ebola outbreak.
The approach is to
Question 37 options:
convert primary care facilities to 'holding centres' and Ebola
Treatment Centres (ETC.).
prohibit travel of all cases and contacts, with exit screening for
symptoms at international airports, seaports and borders.
address the underlying social determinants of ill-health through
intersectoral action, seeking to empower communities, to meet
the needs of the most marginalised and to provide
comprehensive care with the emphasis on disease prevention
and health promotion.
focus on a circumscribed number of diseases with high
morbidity and mortality, using largely effective therapeutic or
personal preventive interventions.
Question 38
What is a compelling argument for why the effective control of
communicable diseases in the developing world is important for
global security?
Question 38 options:
It is realistic to see a future where there are no infectious
disease threats
Communicable diseases have no borders
To increase the GDP of developing nations
Limits financial incentives for research and drug development if
all communicable diseases are cured
Question 39
Ohene et al. describes the outbreak response to cholera
outbreaks in two districts in Ghana. What was the overarching
conclusion on the responses?
Question 39 options:
In both districts, the case fatality rate was above the WHO
acceptable rate of 1 % which was due to poor case management
in the health facilities as the highest fatality was seen in the
facilities.
Following implementation of response measures including
massive community education and water, sanitation and hygiene
(WASH) activities, the outbreaks were quickly controlled.
Neither district had an epidemic preparedness response plan.
For both outbreaks, high case fatality rate was attributed to late
reporting of cases to the health facility.
Question 40
A lesson learned from the SARS epidemic was
Question 40 options:
screening measures at airports was not sufficient and worldwide
travel bans should be implemented swiftly
prompt and open reporting of cases of any disease with the
potential for international spread is critical.
press should not be alerted until all details of the disease are
known and communicated to the public
academic competition and rivalry on the world stage can
actually contribute to outbreak response in a positive manner

This chapter starts with examining the importance of financial
planning. Every coach goes into a game with a plan. That plan
might focus onwhich players to start, what offense to use, and
what defensive strategies to use. Some coaches are known for
scripting most of the game and
writing down every play that they expect to run during a given
period or under certain circumstances. The same basic concept
applies to financial
planning. Every sports organization needs to determine before a
new year or season starts what they want to accomplish and then
develop a road
map. The map that is used is a budget. The budget focuses on
what the business wants to accomplish during a set period for a
given product or
industry unit. Financial planning entails examining future
income and expenses to help steer a company in a given
direction. Every business
decision requires planning. Strategic planning has gained
popularity as a way of critically analyzing given business
scenarios to generate
appropriate solutions. This same strategic planning perspective
applies to financial planning. Every monetary issue needs to be
examined for
fiscal soundness. Every dollar needs to be planned for to
maximize that dollar’s impact. Planning for most typical
contingencies can help a
business operate smoothly and save money. While this chapter
discusses basic issues and the need for budgets, chapter 8
covers the mechanics of
developing, implementing, and evaluating a budget.
This chapter highlights the various components necessary to
plan effectively. The process starts with understanding that a
sports organization
needs a plan. While there are many plans such as a marketing
plan or a strategic plan, we are going to focus on a financial
plan. That financial
plan results in a budget. The budget is a road map for the
organization. Through utilizing a number of different budgets,
an organization can be
better prepared for financial conditions that might arise. One of
the most well-known budgets is a pro forma budget that is often
developed when
a business or organization is initially developed to explore
where money will come from and where it will be spent. The
pro forma budget is a
key to writing an effective business plan.
IMPORTANCE OF FINANCIAL PLANNING
Financial planning can help provide appropriate solutions for
the types of problems businesses face every day, such as the
need to
develop new products,
pay bills as they become due,
spend more money on research and development,
retire a given product line,
borrow funds for future expansion,
issue commercial paper,
issue more stock,
issue more bonds,
sell existing assets,
purchase new assets,
increase prices,
decrease prices,
move the business to another location,
acquire a competing company, or
file for bankruptcy protection.
As the list suggests, every future action that a business might
undertake entails financial planning. Some are short-term issues
while others
entail long-term focus. The financial planning examined in this
chapter is focused on everyday financial issues such as paying
rent and salaries.
The financial planning covered in chapter 12 is much broader
and covers long-term financial ideas such as whether to build a
new facility. Both
short- and long-term financial decisions will require planning,
yet many businesses do not undertake this simple process. Some
executives go
with a hunch or a feeling, but the truly successful executives
have a plan. Normally, two major steps are explored. The first
approach is to
undertake minor changes such as reducing costs or raising
prices a small percentage. The second approach is to under take
major projects. The
first approach is often called “thinking at the margins.”
Thinking at the margins is an economic term focused on how to
cover marginal costs and
then add some profit to the mix. Assume a team sells a hot dog
for $2 at the ballpark. That price is the standard price based on
30 cents for the
raw material used (hot dog and bun) and 30 cents for the fixed
costs (employees, kitchen equipment, signage, and other
expenses incurred
regardless of how many units are sold [see chapter 5]). At the
end of the game, all unsold hot dogs need to be thrown away,
composted, or
donated. Thus, in the middle of the ninth inning the team might
reduce the price of each hot dog to $1 and possibly earn 40
cents profit or it
could stick with the $2 price and maybe throw away some
possible profits. While there is the simple math, there is also a
strategy component as
some people might wait until close to the end of the game to
buy hot dogs if they know the price will be reduced.
Microeconomic theory
indicates that the lowest offer you should take is the one that
exceeds your marginal cost. Sunk costs cannot be recouped, so
if the fixed costs
are removed from the analysis (as the employees will be paid
and the hot dog warmer will still be on), the key point is the 30
cents of variable
costs. Thus, earning 70 cents would be a great return compared
to losing the 30 cents if the bun and hot dog will need to be
discarded. Whatever
the price, through developing a budget based on sound numbers,
a team can make this calculation and therefore make sound
financial plans.
Small changes can provide significant impact. Walmart changed
its plastic bag design in 2017, which resulted in saving $20
million. Walmart
also shortened the receipt length, and that saved the company $7
million in one year. Not every company can save so much
money, but if the
team understands how much it costs to put on a game, it can
undertake specific steps to reduce costs or increase revenue.
This approach can be
reflected in a game budget where all the expenses and revenues
are projected.
In contrast, long-term budgets often focus on much more than
just incremental changes (plus or minus a small percentage).
Long-term
budgets will often focus on transformative goals. The difference
could be whether to undertake incremental activity that might
increase market
share by 2% to 5% or aim for a transformative goal that is much
riskier but could increase market share by 25%. Much more

duquality of analysis are enhanced with long-term budgets and
executive need to use information from accountants,
economists, marketers, andothers to successfully craft a budget
that would have the greatest potential for accuracy.
In some areas, there is little room for error. For example,
Churchill Downs is known for hosting the most famous horse
race in the world—the
Kentucky Derby. The publicly traded company (Churchill
Downs, NASDAQ CHDN) generates around 55% of its profits in
the week leading up
to and including the race (Hall, 2013). If a storm or some other
issue arose, then revenue could be significantly impacted. That
is why it is so
critical for the company to have an accurate budget and
financial forecasts of various scenarios to avoid any surprises or
miscalculations.
Significant change in an organization often leads to a new plan
and a new budget. For example, when The Sports Authority
went bankrupt,
one of its top suppliers, Under Armour, had to develop a new
plan and new budgets to reflect that reality. Similarly, when the
National Collegiate
Athletic Association allowed member universities to provide
more benefits to students, this was seen as a great benefit for
both student-athletes
and universities. However, it also changed the dynamic of
expenses for all these institutions. Tuition was already
increasing at many schools, and
that is often one of the biggest expenses for an athletic
department. The new expenses needed to be added to the
budget. This created an
imbalance that needed to be corrected with additional revenue
or reductions in other expenses. This is why the budgetary
process is so important.
A university cannot just hope they have enough money to cover
all its expenses. While a state university might overspend and
be bailed out by
the state government, a private company normally does not have
a sugar daddy to bail it out of trouble.
Sound financial planning and the budgetary process can be seen
in the example of a company undertaking an advertising
campaign. The
company needs to develop an advertising budget that
incorporates forecasts of future advertising expenditures and
then examine the potential
revenue from each advertising effort. Table 7.1 is an example of
an advertising budget worksheet
