Write a double-spaced persuasive report for decision and implementation.After 15 years in the corporate world, you are ready to strike on your own. Rather than building a business from the ground up, however, you think that buying a franchise is a better idea. Unfortunately, some of the most lucrative franchise opportunities, such as the major fast-food chains (Papa Johns Pizza http://www.papajohns.com), require significant start-up costs some more than a half million dollars. Fortunately, you have met several potential investors who seem willing to help you get started in exchange for a share of ownership. Between your own savings and money from these investors, you estimate that you can raise from $350,000 to $600,000, depending on how much ownership share you want to concede to the investors. You have worked in several functional areas already, including sales and manufacturing, so you have a fairly well-rounded business resume. You are open to this type of business, as long as it provides the opportunity to grow; you do not want to be so tied down to the first operation that you cannot turn it over to a hired manager and expand into another market.Your task: To convene a formal meeting with the investor group, you need to first draft a report that outlines the types of franchise opportunities you would like to pursue. Write a brief report, identifying Papa Johns Pizza that you would like to explore further (based on your own personal interests and the criteria already identified.) Identify the nature of the business, the financial requirements, the level of support the company provides, and a brief statement of why you could run such a business successfully (make up any details you need). Be sure to carefully review the information you find about Papa Johns franchise company to make sure you qualify for it.
Find the following information (add additional info as needed)Nature of business? How long has this franchise been established?Total number of franchises?Whats the upfront cost going to be? (Immediate out of pocket costs)What other fees should you plan on? (Leasing property or equipment from the franchisor)What type of regional protection is there? (Do you have any guarantees that the franchisor is not going to sell other franchises or open up its own outlets in your geographic area? If so, how long are those guarantees good for?)How many franchises fail in a year?How many open in a year?How do you get out the deal, if necessary? (Would the company charge you something to sell your franchise or restrict your ability to pull out of the business?)ALSO, include 3 published or internet sources as works cited.

Management Action Plan (MAP)
Please include documentation of all six steps in your submission of the MAP assignment. You should begin
working on the MAP at the beginning of this course. It is due in Unit VIII.
I. Clarify the Problem or Opportunity for Improvement (OFI)
Clearly describe the problem or Opportunity for Improvement (OFI) that you have selected for your MAP. Why is it
important to resolve this problem right now? What are the consequences of not resolving this problem right now?
II. Clarify your Measureable Goal
Clearly describe the desired outcome from your MAP implementation? What are you trying to accomplish? How
will successful MAP implementation be measured and assessed? What realistic constraints do you have as you
begin creation of your plan? Consider limits on time, money, and other resources that are specific to your MAP.
III. Prepare a List of Possible Actions
Consider possible root causes of the OFI. Why do you believe the problem exists? Brainstorm and present a list
of all possible actions that you may need to take in order to achieve your MAP goal. At this stage, focus on
generating as many different options and ideas as possible. It is likely that not all of your ideas will make it into
you final MAP. Write down your ideas just as they come to your mind, trying not to judge or analyze them at this
stage.
In your brainstorming, be sure to consider ideas* involving:
? Leadership
? Governance
? Clinical Performance
? Physicians
? Nurses
? Clinical Support Services
? Knowledge Management
? Human Resources
? Financial Management
? Internal Consulting
? Marketing
*It is understood that some of these areas may not apply to your particular MAP, but all areas should at least be
considered in this process.

IV. Organize your Key Action Steps into a Management Action Plan
Decide on the sequencing of your Key Action Steps. For each Key Action Step, what other steps must be
completed before that specific action can be taken? Rearrange your Key Action Steps into a sequence of ordered
activity. Then look at your plan once again. Are there any ways to simplify the plan further before presenting it?
V. Accountability
For each Key Action Step, assign a responsible party or group within your organization (by position, department,
or team name, not by individual name), and assign a suspense date by which the Key Action Step must be
completed. Then, based upon all of your Key Action Steps and their suspense dates, provide a realistic
completion date for the entire MAP.
VI. Measurement and Monitoring
Now, explain in detail how you will measure the success of your MAP following implementation and how you will
monitor ongoing performance to prevent regression and loss of the positive change that has taken place.
Submit your assignment by the end of Unit VIII.
