The sharing economy has become a bone of contention as it has become a disruptive force in numerous industries, particularly the taxi industry thanks to Uber and Lyft, which has been protected from competition by state and local laws. Protectionism, as any Economics 101 student could attest, leads to poor services, lack of innovation and poor pricing. Companies like Lyft and Uber have created competition where it was essentially was non- existent and the existing taxi industry has been forced to respond to the altered competitive landscape.
The philosophical debate over Airbnb other aspects of the sharing economy typically divide along the political (red and blue) axis. Free market advocates have quickly fallen in love with these companies, seeing them as the marketplace in action, while progressives tend to deride the “sharing” economy as an attack on labor unions that will choke off local government from the critical tax revenue it garners from traditional hotels. Unsurprisingly, Hillary Clinton has promised to get government heavily involved in regulating different aspects of sharing economy companies.

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.
B. informative outline
Introduction:
George Stinney Jr. was an African American boy born on October 21, 1929 in Pinewood, South Carolina, U.S. He is considered as the youngest person to be executed by the United State government in 20th century.

PALADIN ASSIGNMENT
Scenario:
You are given a PC and you are faced with this scenario: you don’t know the password to the PC which means you can’t login so you can use a forensic tool like FTK IMAGER to capture the hard drive as a bit-for-bit forensic image AND/OR
1. The hard drive is either soldiered onto the motherboard (there are some new hard drives like this!) or cannot be removed because the screws are stripped (this has happened to me);
2. Even if you figured out the password or got an admin password the PC may have its USB ports blocked via a GPO policy (this is very common in corporations now);
3. Even if you can get the GPO policy overridden you may have some concerns about putting it on the network (which is true especially if you are dealing with malware).
So what you can you do? The best solution is to boot the PC up into forensically sound environment that lets you bypass the password aspect; GPO policy; etc and take a bit-for-bit image. One software that has done the job very well for me is Paladin.
How to get points
If you can send me a screenshot showing me that you had installed Paladin .ISO and made your USB device a bootable device with Paladin using Rufus then you get 10 points.
If you can send me a screenshot showing that you had a chance to boot your computer into Paladin then you will earn an extra 10 points. It is not necessary for you to take a forensic image of your PC but I have included generic instructions here.
Assumptions:
1. You have downloaded Rufus on your computer
2. You have downloaded Paladin on your computer.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have at least one USB drive.
2. If not down already, download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/.
3. If not done already, download the Paladin ISO image from this website: https://sumuri.com/product/paladin-64-bit-version-7/ which is free. It’s suggested price is $25.00 but you can adjust the price to $0 then order. To be clear – do not pay anything.
4. Insert the USB device in your computer.
5. Run Rufus where you install the Paladin .ISO file on the USB device and make it bootable. Now I could provide you step by step instructions, but this is a Masters class so I want you to explore a bit and figure this out. One good video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JehM0WDTI.
6. After you are done using Rufus where you have installed Paladin.ISO on the USB device and made it bootable then make sure the USB device is in the PC.
7. Restart your PC. Press F9(HP) laptop) or F12 (Dell laptop) so you can be taken into the BIOS bootup menu.
8. This is where things get a bit tricky e.g. your compute may be configured differently where you have to adjust your BIOS settings. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then stop here. I do not want you to mess up your computer. You have already earned ten extra points!
9. If you still proceed then you will see a list of bootable devices. You may, for example, see a list of devices. Pick the device .

The sharing economy has become a bone of contention as it has become a disruptive force in numerous industries, particularly the taxi industry thanks to Uber and Lyft, which has been protected from competition by state and local laws. Protectionism, as any Economics 101 student could attest, leads to poor services, lack of innovation and poor pricing. Companies like Lyft and Uber have created competition where it was essentially was non- existent and the existing taxi industry has been forced to respond to the altered competitive landscape.
The philosophical debate over Airbnb other aspects of the sharing economy typically divide along the political (red and blue) axis. Free market advocates have quickly fallen in love with these companies, seeing them as the marketplace in action, while progressives tend to deride the “sharing” economy as an attack on labor unions that will choke off local government from the critical tax revenue it garners from traditional hotels. Unsurprisingly, Hillary Clinton has promised to get government heavily involved in regulating different aspects of sharing economy companies.

Informative speech on George Stinney Jr.
A. Info research analysis
The general purpose of the speech was to inform people about the civil injustice being done against the African American community in the United States. The specific purpose of the speech was to portray to the audience how an innocent 14-year old black boy suffered in the hands of the South Carolina State law enforcing officers. He was falsely accused of killing two white girls and electrocuted within two months after conviction.
I decided the topic of my speech after perusing through all the suggested topics ad found that the story of George Stinney Jr. was touching and emotional entirely.
This topic benefits the audience and the society in general by giving them an insight of the cruelty that the American law system has against the African American community. The audience gets to know how the shady investigations were done with claims that George had pleaded guilty to the charges of murder when there was no real evidence tying him to the crime or a signed plea agreement.
The alternative view that I found in the research was the version of the investigating officer of the case who claimed that the 14-year old boy managed to kill two girls aged 11 and 7 with a blunt object and ditch them in a nearby trench. This alternative point of view did not make sense because it is hard for a 14-year old boy to use the force that was reported by postmortem results to kill the girls. Therefore, I knew everything was a lie and I had to take the point of view of George’s innocence.

PALADIN ASSIGNMENT
Scenario:
You are given a PC and you are faced with this scenario: you don’t know the password to the PC which means you can’t login so you can use a forensic tool like FTK IMAGER to capture the hard drive as a bit-for-bit forensic image AND/OR
1. The hard drive is either soldiered onto the motherboard (there are some new hard drives like this!) or cannot be removed because the screws are stripped (this has happened to me);
2. Even if you figured out the password or got an admin password the PC may have its USB ports blocked via a GPO policy (this is very common in corporations now);
3. Even if you can get the GPO policy overridden you may have some concerns about putting it on the network (which is true especially if you are dealing with malware).
So what you can you do? The best solution is to boot the PC up into forensically sound environment that lets you bypass the password aspect; GPO policy; etc and take a bit-for-bit image. One software that has done the job very well for me is Paladin.
How to get points
If you can send me a screenshot showing me that you had installed Paladin .ISO and made your USB device a bootable device with Paladin using Rufus then you get 10 points.
If you can send me a screenshot showing that you had a chance to boot your computer into Paladin then you will earn an extra 10 points. It is not necessary for you to take a forensic image of your PC but I have included generic instructions here.
Assumptions:
1. You have downloaded Rufus on your computer
2. You have downloaded Paladin on your computer.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have at least one USB drive.
2. If not down already, download Rufus from https://rufus.ie/.
3. If not done already, download the Paladin ISO image from this website: https://sumuri.com/product/paladin-64-bit-version-7/ which is free. It’s suggested price is $25.00 but you can adjust the price to $0 then order. To be clear – do not pay anything.
4. Insert the USB device in your computer.
5. Run Rufus where you install the Paladin .ISO file on the USB device and make it bootable. Now I could provide you step by step instructions, but this is a Masters class so I want you to explore a bit and figure this out. One good video is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6JehM0WDTI.
6. After you are done using Rufus where you have installed Paladin.ISO on the USB device and made it bootable then make sure the USB device is in the PC.
7. Restart your PC. Press F9(HP) laptop) or F12 (Dell laptop) so you can be taken into the BIOS bootup menu.
8. This is where things get a bit tricky e.g. your compute may be configured differently where you have to adjust your BIOS settings. If you do not feel comfortable doing this then stop here. I do not want you to mess up your computer. You have already earned ten extra points!
9. If you still proceed then you will see a list of bootable devices. You may, for example, see a list of devices. Pick the device .

Case Study- KFC Business Analysis
Abstract
Introduced in 1952 by Colonel Sanders
Second largest restaurant chain today in terms of popularity
Annual revenue of $23 billion
Diversified its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism
Introduction
KFC was born in 1952 and its founder was Colonel Sanders
First franchise to grow globally over international market
By the 1960s – 1980s the market was booming in countries like England, Mexico, China
Management and ownership transferred over the years to Heublin, Yum Brands and PepsiCo.
Annual revenue of $23 billion in 2013
KFC had expanded its menu to suit cultural needs of people across different countries
Hindering factors in KFC’s growth are growing consumer health consciousness, animal welfare criticism, environmental criticism, logistic management issue in UK, cultural differences in Asian countries towards accepting the fried chicken menu.
Factors contributing to KFC’s global success
The core reason for KFCs success is it’s mandate to follow strict franchise protocols that have continuously satisfied customers demands:
The quality of the chicken cooked in KFC has certain specific guidelines
The size of the restaurant should be 24x60 feet.
The restaurant washrooms and ktichen has certain cleanliness standards
Food that is not sold off needs to be trashed
The workers need to have a specific clothing and uniform.
A certain % of the gross earnings should be used for advertisement and R&D
Air conditioning is mandatory in the outlets
Global number of KFC restaurants in the past decade
Importance of cultural factors to KFC’s sales success in India and China
Culture is the collective programming of the human mind that distinguishes the members of one human group from those of another. Culture in this sense is a system of collectively held values
“Culture is everything that people have, think, and do as members of their society”, which demonstrating that culture is made up of (1) material objects; (2) ideas, values, attitudes and beliefs; and (3) specified, or expected behavior.
Many scholars have theorized and studied the notion of cross-cultural adaptation, which tends to move from one culture to another one, by learning the elements such as rules, norms, customs, and language of the new culture (Oberg 1960, Keefe and Padilla 1987, Kealey 1989). According to Ady (1995),
“Cultural adaptation is the evolutionary process by which an individual modifies his personal habits and customs to fit into a particular culture. It can also refer to gradual changes within a culture or society that occur as people from different backgrounds participating in the culture and sharing their perspectives and practices.”
Cultural factors in India that go against KFC’s original recipe.

Business Strategy and Competitive Advantage
• Two fundamental questions:
Ø How do you generate advantage?
Ø How do you sustain advantage?
• Key idea for sustainability is “barriers to imitation.”
Ø How long will it be before the first rival
imitates the first mover?
Ø How fast does new imitation occur
once it starts?
v These two factors determine appropriability.

Business Strategy and Competitive Advantage
• Does market share generate competitive advantage?
Ø The computer industry is an excellent example of the lack
of correspondence between market share and profit rates.
IBM was a clear market leader in terms of market share
but had only mediocre economic performance relative to its
rivals. High market share is no guarantee of high rates
of profitability.
6–6
Business Strategy and Competitive Advantage
• Does market share generate competitive advantage?
Ø Perhaps high market share causes high profit rates.
Ø But it could equally well be that there is a third factor
(e.g., good service capabilities, such as those of
Caterpillar), either not considered or unobserved by us,
that causes both high profitability and high market share.
v In this case, we would see a correlation
between profitability and market share
but there is no causal explanation.
Business Strategy and Competitive Advantage
• When can market share work to generate and sustain
an advantage?
Ø Scale economies (to generate cost leadership advantage)
combined with high exit costs (to sustain the advantage)
may make market share a defensible advantage.

Business ProposalThe Business Proposal is the major writing .docxfelicidaddinwoodie
Business Proposal
The Business Proposal is the major writing assignment in the course. You are to create and submit a formal proposal that suggests how to change something within an organization. This organization can be large or small, a place of employment now or in the past, or an organization to which the students belong. From past experiences, it is best to use a business with fewer than 200 employees, and one with which you have personal experience. It could be a place where you currently work or a place you have worked or volunteered in the past.
The change can be specific to a unit or can apply to the whole organization; it can relate to how important information is distributed, who has access to important information, how information is accessed, or any other change in practices the students see as having a benefit. The proposal should be directed to the person or committee with the power to authorize the change. However, if you are working within a large organization, and asking for a small organizational change, communicating with a CEO or president may not make the most sense. You need to think about who within the organization might be the best person for the type of change suggested.
For the submission, you are to follow the guidelines for formal proposals available in Chapter 10 of the text. You can review 10.1, 10.4, and 10.19 for more information about specific components for a well-written formal business proposal. A complete proposal must have all required sections of a formal report excluding the copy of an RFP and the Authorization. The final draft of the proposal should be 1500–2000 words, and include the following necessary formal proposal components:
Letter of transmittal
Executive summary
Title page
Table of contents
List of illustrations
Introduction
Background: Purpose/problem
Proposal: plan, schedule, details
Staffing
Budget
Appendix
Formatting does matter for this assignment, and you are to check the text for details about how to format and draft the different proposal segments. Proposals don't just have text; graphics and charts are necessary, too. In addition, research is important, and footnotes and references must be included. All content should be concise, clear, and detailed. The proposal should be well-written with appropriate grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
This is a scaffolded writing project that consists of four assignments.

The effective use of information technology is now an accepted organisational imperative - for
all businesses, across all sectors - and the primary motivation; improved communications and
commercial effectiveness. The swift pace of change in these technologies has consigned many
established best practice approaches to the past. Today's IT decision makers and business
managers face uncertainty - characterised by a lack of relevant, practical, advice and standards
to guide them through this new business revolution.
Recognising the lack of available best practice guidance, the National Computing Centre has

Abstract: This paper is dealing with the importance of business processes regarding costs
tracking and cost management in healthcare institutions. Various changes within the health
care system and funding of hospitals require the introduction of management information
systems and cost accounting. The introduction of cost accounting in public hospitals would
allow the planning and control of costs, monitoring of costs per patient or service and the
calculation of indicators for the analysis and assessment of the economic performance of the
business of public hospitals and lead to the transparency of budget spending. A model that
would be suited to the introduction in the public hospital is full cost allocation model based on
activities or processes that occur, known as the ABC method. Given that this is a calculation
of cost of services provided through various internal business processes, it is important to
identify all business processes in order to be able to calculate the costs incurred by services.
Although the hospital does not do business with the aim to make a profit, they must follow all
the costs (direct and indirect) to be able to calculate the full costs i.e. the price of the service
provided. In addition, the long-term sustainability of business activities in terms of funding
difficulties and the continuous growth of cost of services provided, hospitals must control and
reduce the cost of the program and specific activities. Therefore, the objective of this paper is
to point out the importance of business processes while introducing ABC method.
Keywords: Business Processes, Cost management, ABC method, Healthcare Institutions

1 Introduction
In recent years, the efficiency of the management in health care services and the system of
quality in health care institutions significantly increased. Patients expect more from
healthcare providers and higher standards of care. At the same time, those who pay for
health services are increasingly concerned about the rising costs of health care services, but
also the potential ineffectiveness of the health care system. Consequently, there is a broad
interest in understanding the ways of efficient work of health care management and .

Business Planning and Program Planning A strategic plan.docxfelicidaddinwoodie
Business Planning and Program Planning
A strategic plan specifies how a particular program will realize its objectives. With a strategic plan, it is possible to focus efforts on the accomplishment of a program's goals. A strategic plan provides a link between what a program seeks to accomplish and the required actions for successful program implementation (Kettner, Moroney & Martin, 2017). A business plan, on the contrary, defines the path of business. It includes a company's organizational structure, marketing plan as well as financial projections (Kettner et al., 2017).
Impact of Business Plan on a Program’s Strategic Plan
The logic model can help understand the impact of a business plan on a program’s strategic plan. The logic model comprises five major elements such as inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and impacts. The inputs are the resources such as funding, facilities, staff and volunteers needed for a given program. The activities are the events or actions of a program such as running the program and data collection. Outputs are the direct products and the desired effects of a program. Impact recalls the goals of a program (Hodges & Videto, 2011).
The financial projection element of a business plan can impact the strategic planning process of a program. This medium is because the allocated budget, as well as its parameters, must be assessed to ascertain if the funds available are enough to perform the tasks and activities of a program, which is what amounts to strategic planning. Hodges and Videto (2011) asserted that the resources required to implement a program, including those available and those needed, should be reviewed to determine if there are enough resources to achieve the goals of a program. The budget must include allocations for facilities and space, staff, supplies and materials, marketing resources as well as other operational expenses. An accurate budget is vital for the success of a program, and it is critical to consider all the possible expenses plus income.
The relationship between Business Planning and Program Planning
Programs usually face resource constraints, including the difficulty to attract funding streams. Business planning, according to the United States Small Business Administration (n.d.) is a methodology that can be used to address the challenge of financial constraints systematically. A business plan can demonstrate the link or association between a proposed program and social return. Through a funded plan, it is possible for a program to secure funding sources. As such a program plan must include a budget that specifies the number of revenues needed to achieve the program's goals and objectives. From this medium perspective, a budget is considered as an integral component rather than a stand-alone activity of program planning process (Kettner, Moroney and Martin, 2017).
The program planning process must include areas that require add.

BUSINESS PLAN FORMAT
Whether you plan to apply for a business loan or not, you need to have a roadmap or plan to get you from where you are to the successful operation of your business. The pages that follow demonstrate the content of a simple business plan which has been found to be successful in obtaining startup funds from banks. You are encouraged to use all or whatever portions of this fit your business.
Please DO NOT write page after page of drivel or copy from someone else’s plan or one of those templates you can find on the Internet. In most cases this will not “sound" like you, nor will it be short and to the point. Those who read these things are busy people and will not be inclined to spend time reading irrelevant paperwork.
Throughout this sample, there are
italicized
comments which are meant to guide you in preparation. If you follow this format it is reasonable to expect a finished document with 15-20 pages plus the supporting documents in the last section.
If you have good quality pictures of your space, products or other items, you might include them as another way to convey just what you plan to do. A map of your location, diagram of floor space, or other illustration is also sometimes helpful. On the other hand, do not add materials simply to “bulk-up” the report.
While content is critical, it is also important to make this presentation look as good as possible. For this course, you will create the business plan in Word and submit the plan and all attachments through the Assignment drop box. That means all attachments have to be in digital form. For a bank loan or an investor, you would normally provide them with a print version. Print the pages in black ink on a high quality tinted letterhead paper. Color is not necessary but would add some interest in headlines, etc. Bind the document in a presentation folder or with a spiral binding. Don’t simply punch a staple in the upper left corner.
If your were going to pursue a bank loan or an investor, it would be normal to take this business plan to your SCORE counselor for a review and critique.
NOTE: Before you begin your inspection of the simple plan outline which follows, take a moment to review the Business Plan Checklist on the next page.
BUSINESS PLAN CHECKLIST

VALOR AIRLINES
“Sky High Value”
Valor Airlines is a new, low-cost carrier primarily serving passengers for long-haul travel to South
America. Based in Miami, Valor Airlines is projected to have about ten aircraft by 2025, which will
serve around 20 destinations across North and South America. Our mission is to provide competitive
pricing for customers who would like to travel long-haul but can’t a�ord the prices of legacy carriers.
Currently, America’s legacy carriers are the only options on some long-haul travel routes to South
America and this has led them to having a monopoly on prices and frequencies. For example, if you
wanted to �y non-stop from Miami, Florida, to Montevideo, Uruguay, you would have to use
American Airlines, which charges a staggering $1000+ average fare per person!
Meanwhile, low-cost competitors like Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airways have competitive prices
but they simply can’t take you as far and deep into South America as we would be able to because
of their �eet types.
However, thanks to our Airbus 321LRs, Valor Airlines will be a leader in long-haul direct service to
small and large, international cities. Our narrow-body jets allow us to connect to the smaller cities
in South America that don’t have direct service yet. This allows us to connect more people and cities
without customers having to have a second or third layover to get to their destination. Operating
routes with thinner tra�c is a key strategy for Valor Airlines; we would be able to operate these
routes with less seats that larger carriers can’t pro�tably sustain with a jumbo-jet like a Boeing 747.
Valor Airlines: “Sky-High Value.”

IDEA PITCH FOR GROUP
Purpose
To provide competitive fares on routes into deep South America where
legacy carriers have premium fares.
Example: Miami to Montevideo flights
Realize how there is only one carrier
on the route and it is one of
America’s legacy carriers, American
Airlines. $1,311 is a bit steep.
Market Analysis
The Low Cost Carrier {LCC} has been an airline model that has surged in
popularity and growth within the past few years. In the United States,
we have several large LCC’s.
In Europe, the second biggest carrier is an LCC named Ryanair. They
also have Norwegian Air.
Market Analysis [Part 2]
While Europe and North America might seem saturated with LCC’s, South America is a different
story. Spirit Airlines has a great market share for Central American routes and short distance
South American routes such as Colombia or Ecuador. On the other hand, there are no American
LCC’s flying into deep South America such as Paraguay, Argentina, or southern Brazil.
The primary airlines that do are…
LATAM
AMERICAN
DELTA
UNITED
AVIANCA
None are considered low-cost

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Explain who you are targeting and where they are located.
Insert information here using these guidelines:
Information About Your Target Market – Narrow your target
market to a manageable size. Many businesses make the mistake
of trying to appeal to too many target markets. Research and
include the following information about your market:
Distinguishing characteristics – What are the critical needs of
your potential customers? Are those needs being met? What are
the demographics of the group and where are they located? Are
there any seasonal or cyclical purchasing trends that may impact
your business?
Size of the primary target market – In addition to the size of
your market, what data can you include about the annual
purchases your market makes in your industry? What is the
forecasted market growth for this group? For more information,
see the market research guide for tips and free government
resources that can help you build a market profile.
How much market share can you gain? – What is the market
share percentage and number of customers you expect to obtain
in a defined geographic area? Explain the logic behind your
7. calculation.

5.1 Growth Strategy
10. · A market penetration strategy.
· A growth strategy. This strategy for building your business
might include: an internal strategy such as how to increase your
human resources, an acquisition strategy such as buying another
business, a franchise strategy for branching out, a horizontal
strategy where you would provide the same type of products to
different users, or a vertical strategy where you would continue
providing the same products but would offer them at different
levels of the distribution chain.
· Channels of distribution strategy. Choices for distribution
channels could include original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs), an internal sales force, distributors, or retailers.
· Communication strategy. How are you going to reach your
customers? Usually a combination of the following tactics
works the best: promotions, advertising, public relations,
personal selling, and printed materials such as brochures,
catalogs, flyers, etc.
After you have developed a comprehensive marketing strategy,
you can then define your sales strategy. This covers how you
plan to actually sell your product.
5.2 Your overall sales strategy should include two primary
elements:
· A sales force strategy. If you are going to have a sales force,
do you plan to use internal or independent representatives? How
many salespeople will you recruit for your sales force? What
type of recruitment strategies will you use? How will you train
your sales force? What about compensation for your sales
force?
· Your sales activities. When you are defining your sales
strategy, it is important that you break it down into activities.
For instance, you need to identify your prospects. Once you
have made a list of your prospects, you need to prioritize the
contacts, selecting the leads with the highest potential to buy
first. Next, identify the number of sales calls you will make
over a certain period of time. From there, you need to determine
11. the average number of sales calls you will need to make per
sale, the average dollar size per sale, and the average dollar size
per vendor.5.3 Communication Strategy

sales (be
sure to refer back to Section 4 of your business plan), and your
expenses (the top five line items).

and
the profit and loss assumption—section 6.5.1. You must justify
your
sales level by explaining the growth rate (number of customers
times

top five expenses. Use research to back up your numbers where
appropriate (for example, likely rents based on commercial real
estate
leases in your area).
