Management Team Having the right mix of people as part of your management team can be critical to the overall success of a company. In the article Team Management it states, “success or failure is a result of whether people work together effectively as a team” (Davies, Margerison & McCann, 1998, p. 32). Therefore is essential that I have qualified employees as part of Beyond The Fairway management. The management team will consist of six fully qualified full time personnel. This will include: myself as owner and CEO, my eldest son as manager, one certified Professional Golf Association (PGA) golfing professional, and three qualified shop attendees who understand and loves the game of golf. Physical Assets In addition to the required financial asset needed for a startup business, Beyond The Fairway Golf Store have acquired the physical assets necessary to turn my business plan into a reality. The physical location for the store will be located in Enterprise, Alabama and is a family owned building with an estimated 1,800 to 2,000 square feet of interior space with adjacent warehouse for inventory storage valued at $1.5 million dollars. The company has on hand an inventory of major brand golf equipment valued at approximately $150,000 that will be displayed throughout the store. The store will host a full service repair and custom-fitting shop, which can accommodate up 6 customers at a time. Financial Resources Understanding that physical assets are quite different from money (Worth, 2014, p.341), the company has secured a majority of the financial resources needed to move forward in laying the foundation for a golf store in my hometown. At the moment, the company has three thirds of the start up capital and will require a sm... ... middle of paper ... ...hile seeking a relationship with Christ.

  • The History of Nonprofit Organizations in America

    1378 Words  | 3 Pages

    The nonprofit sector in America is a reflection some of the foundational values that brought our nation into existence. Fundamentals, such as the idea that people can govern themselves and the belief that people should have the opportunity to make a difference by joining a like-minded group, have made America and its nonprofit sector what it is today. The American "civil society" is one that has been produced through generations of experiments with government policy, nonprofit organizations, private partnerships, and individuals who have asserted ideas and values. The future of the nonprofit sector will continue to be experimental in many ways. However, the increase of professional studies in nonprofit management and the greater expectation of its role in society is causing executives to look to more scientific methods of management.

  • My Reflection Of Working With For Profit And Nonprofit Organizations

    Throughout this course my paradigms of what a nonprofit organization have been challenged as we have considered the major aspects and leadership challenges of these organizations. Having worked with for profit and nonprofit organizations in the past I was quite confident that I had a clear understanding of the distinctions between the two. I had worked in organizations that regularly used volunteers to accomplish their mission and felt that the management of these processes were simplistic. Despite these misconceptions, I found that I was able to learn a tremendous amount through our reading, peer interactions, group projects and equally important, my volunteer service as part of this course.

  • Golf Course Superintendents

    1858 Words  | 4 Pages

    Golf clubs are constantly making sales and buying needed supplies to keep it up and running, much like any other normal business. Golf courses also have to promote and market their club to the public. Marketing plans could range from billboards on nearby interstates to ads in the local newspaper. A golf course superintendent oversees all business roles within the club. This includes the pro shop, the golf pro, and assistants in the office. (Careers in Focus: Sports, 6) Although golf is the major sales producer, the pro shop brings in a lot of revenue as well. The pro shop is a place that everybody who comes to play golf at the club will see at some point, so that means the superintendent must maintain the shop regularly. If the superintendent forgets to check the inventory and causes the shop to have a lack of items to sell, then the clubs sales will decrease. The superintendent is also in charge of keeping the costs under control in order to maintain the given budget for the entire golf club. Whether it means finding ways to minimize prices by buying in bulk from major golf merchandise companies or just decreasing the number of items bought, it must be done regularly. (Careers in Focus: Sports, 7) Golf course superintendents also must make sure everything that’s needed for maintenance of the actual course, such as pesticides and fertilizers, are purchased on schedule. This is yet another part that must be managed in order to stay in line with the budget of the club. If a superintendent doesn’t order the pesticides or fertilizers when they’re needed, then the health of the golf course will decline. This is yet another way that shows how important a superintendent is to a golf

  • Non Profit Organizations

    2412 Words  | 5 Pages

    Nonprofit Organizations The purpose of this research is to define nonprofit organizations, describe opportunities that are present in nonprofits, outline advantages and disadvantages of working in the nonprofit sector, and explain how you can determine if this is an area for you to consider as a career. WHAT IS THE NONPROFIT SECTOR? "Nonprofit" is a term that the I.R.S. uses to define tax-exempt organizations whose money or "profit" must be used solely to further their charitable or educational mission, rather than distribute profits to owners or shareholders as in the for-profit sector. The term is also used to describe organizations which are not a branch of -- are independent of -- the government and the corporate sector. This term refers to one of the most important uniqueness of a nonprofit organization: it is independent of both the public or government sector and the private or corporate sector.

    Along such time, the budget has grown over $2000,000, fact that paradoxically left Youth Haven with a deficit of$20,000. Marcel is in the process to upgrade her mindset of for-profit sector molded to the nonprofit sector environment. In addition, an executive director must consider some other factor, even when a nonprofit departs from the way any for-profit business is. In the textbook, Nonprofit Management Principles and Practices, Worth pointed out, “nonprofit managers are confronted with sorting through an array of options and selecting the measures and methods that meet both their own need for useful management information as well as the expectations of funders, watchdogs, and regulators.” (Wroth, P. 161). It is important to understand that administrators of non profits not only have to handle the management side of things but also to make sure that whatever service they are providing to the community is still running

  • Non profit Organization

    1419 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nonprofit and for-profit businesses have multiple similarities and differences. For-profit organizations are very different from non-profit organizations because the driving goal of a for-profit organization is increasing its revenue whereas a non-profit organization will not go out of business if it suffers financial loss or does not have a bottom-line. The marketing process also differs, with the biggest differentiating factor of profit marketing is to encourage customers to buy and while the nonprofit marketing purpose is usually to encourage people to give. This means that the return on investment differs between the two. Although the principles of marketing remain the same, some of the methods must, of necessity, be different. Because of the intense involvement in the community as well as support from government, agencies non-profit firms should not compete in the same markets as for profit companies nor in anyway position their organization in any way to give the impression that their efforts could be commercial based (Nelson, 2002).

  • The Role Of Ethics In Nonprofit And Non-Profit Organizations

    Over the last 20 years, there has been a significant increase in nonprofit and nongovernment organizations (NGOs) in the United States. With the increase in organizations, also came an increase in scandals and in the 1990’s multiple nonprofit and nongovernment organizations lost the public’s trust due to misuse of funds, lavish spending, and improper advances to protected populations. These charity scandals not only hurt direct organization’s reputation, but also led to the mistrust of nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations as a whole (Sidel, 2005). To combat these reputations, NGOs and nonprofit organizations began to self-regulate through employing morally obligated and altruistic employees, accountability practices, and lastly through
