sources.
My target markets would be more affluent party crowds, meat
aficionados, and to a lesser extent family households. The
affluent party crowds would fit any demographic who wishes to

A small business that I’ve always been interested in is a
child development center. This is business much like a daycare
center, but with the added benefit of child development and
learning. The service that is offered would be childcare for
children one year to eleven years old. My target market would
be the young working class. This market consists of those
ranging in age from nineteen to forty, men and women, married
and single parents. The major competitors would be after school
programs for school-aged children, local daycare centers, and
stay at home family members. My business would focus on
extended hours that are longer than the typical 6 pm pick up

4. In today’s society, it is extremely hard to survive as a
one-income family. This means that a lot of family members
between the ages of 19 and 40 years old are starting work or
returning to the workforce. Our rates are compatible with our
competitors, and we offer more for your money. My company
allows all members of the household to work and pay childcare
expenses without breaking the bank. A unique challenge for
human resource development (HRD) in the new millennium is
how best to accommodate the competing demands placed on
employees by work and family. This is particularly true with
respect to members of dual-income families, who face the
daunting challenge of simultaneously integrating family
demands with the work-related demands of both partners
(Duxbury et al. 2007). The HRD has acknowledged the strain
placed on dual-income families. My company would strive in
taking steps to reduce the ever-growing demands placed on
families as a result of working to keep their families fed. As the
number of two-earner families continues to rise, the demand for
daycare is increasing (Films for the Humanities & Science
2009). The HRD also acknowledges increases in our economy.
These increases affect basic necessities such as housing, food,
and clothing. This fuels the need for dual-income households in
order to keep up with basic family needs. My child development
center would meet the needs of a growing dual-income society.
