Slavery is undoubtedly an adversity due to its dark mark on the progress of men and the advent of slaves as an industry, yet it is this scourge that has provide impetus for many successes in contemporary society. The impact of slavery on contemporary society is undeniable, and one only needs to look at the diversity of culture that exists within our societies, to understand its significance, and to realize how profound this impact is in shaping our future. Few have sought to understand how pivotal the role of slaves are to the luxuries and courtesies we enjoy, in addition to the opportunities created through the dynamics of the pool of fresh and innovative ideas pregnant with promise. This mixes in ethnicity have given birth to an ever evolving society, and has made the promise for the future exciting.Thesis StatementThe evidence of slavery are ingrained in our society; its essence having permeate every facet of our ever-changing culture, and its impact on the dynamism of our history and future, central to the depth of the evolution that has transform the human way of life.Irrespective of one’s ethnicity and cultural identity, individuals, and indeed the wider society has benefitted immensely from the scar of slavery, and have come to realize just how profound such an atrocity have contributed to the ever changing stature of contemporary society. It is an enigma that has transformed our way of life, giving birth to innovation, creativity, and social identity; dispelling dogmas and ideas that have shackled hands and feet, yet did not break the mind, spirit, and will of disenfranchised migrants. The industry of slavery is one that spoke of the debasement and imprisonment of the souls of men, women, and children, and the rape and hostage of entire nations as a means to satisfy the vulgarity of wealth displayed by historically affluent segments of various societies. The famous English author William Cowper (1731-1800), was a popular 18th century poet, and a firsthand witness to the profiteering of slavery, succinctly wrote “Forced from home and all its pleasures, afric coast I left forlorn; to increase a stranger’s treasure, o the raging billows borne. Men from England bought and sold me, paid my price in paltry gold, but though theirs they have enroll’d me, minds are never to be sold”.The legacies of British Slave-Ownership is tainted with the immense profitability and wealth enjoyed by prominent Britons such as the Hibberts, Wedderburns, and Wilberforce, who spearheaded the slave trade industry, and whose influence on the slave trade to the West Indies and America, bought lucrative financial rewards due to the English ownership of assets, and the access to a “credit system” that was made available through trade in or business tied to slavery. Plantation life in the West Indies was central to the British ideal of maximizing the efforts of slave labor for profit, and the provision of slaves to produce “natural gold” through the violation, exploitation, and degradation of men, women, and children to provide merchant wealth to the privileged few. Author K. Donington (2015) in an examination and evaluation of the impact of slavery on British colonialism (especially in the West Indies), in his book “A society build on SLAVERY“, showed just how the slavish mentality and British directive effect have shaped the language-the development of patois; a form of broken English, model architectures-Colonial and Georgian style brickwork, religion-Christianity, and land ownership, through its designation as a Commonwealth Nation and coloniesof the British system. So too are the effects of slavery on America, where being a slave owner or slave trader was a question of economics; plantations needing the system of slavery, and its ill-gotten gains, just as it necessitate today’s farmer needing a tractor. To some the results were diabolically astounding; to others it became the right to passage- to rape, maim, and murder. Today the Islands of the Caribbean are home to a mixture of French creole, Spanish, English, Afrikaans- any of a number South Africans of Dutch heritage, and African descendants. This caldron once exploited and feared, was now embraced for its wealth of ideas and resources. Their contribution to the Caribbean community is immeasurable, with significant impact on the agricultural sectors, building industry, education, legislature and government, the arts, and the sciences. Ideally, slavery has also been entrenched in the Americas, with the movement in Britain taking pains to propagate its influence on the American way of life through its impact on the earlier settlers, the formation of the original colonies, the legislature, and the need for industries to use cheap labor in abundance. The social legacy of slavery continue to be felt across the globe; as far as Australia, and even in post-slavery Sierra Leone where the British influence loomed like a specter in the role the British colonial government played through its administrative efforts, that were instrumental in trying to force citizens into slave labor, even after its abolition in the British colonies. It shows the impact the administration of the day had on the ability of local chiefs to employ labor. Writer C. Whyte (2015) in the article “Freedom But Nothing Else”: The Legacy and Abolition in Posy-Slavery Sierra Leone” showed relevance to the “long-study” practice of exploitation of the labor of “youths” who were coerced into labor for imperial gains, and solidify her views that the impact of the British efforts are still evident across the globe; especially in the Commonwealth countries and territories, and will forever be a part of our legislation and in some instances, governance. The link between slavery and its dynamism-a myriad of races, the pool of talent, and a kaleidoscope of ideas that make up our society is striking, and it is imperative that we identify and understand the thread of diversity and innovation that has been engineered through this link to provide the essence of slavery through the narratives left behind, that speaks of displaced and disenchanted people; providing evidence of their awareness and system of survival. S. GIKANDI (2014) in his literary work “Between Slavery and Taste: A Response, attempts to identify this link, and provide an analysis of the sphere in which slaves operate, examining their awareness to the realization of what it meant to be “unhomely” in the world; to be subjected to the indignity of capture, the exploitation of their vulnerability, and how their plight would draw on courage, pride, sacrifice, and sometimes the theatrical in shaping their history. An examination of GIKANDI’s analysis shows the purpose of the establishment of the day to hide or distort the truth, to tread on ones’ dignity and rights, and to ignore the reality that the slavery movement was rife with misconceptions of what it meant to be a slave. This is echoed in the remnants left behind in libraries and other depositories, and speaks to us in the manner in which it touches every facet of our lives; through sciences and technology, the arts, medicine, civil-rights, governance, and education.The visual representation of this most repressive time in history can be sufficiently argued to have changed due to the impact of the Emancipation Proclamation, and outlined by author B. Schwartz (2015) in his reflection on the turmoil experienced by Abraham Lincoln in his work, The Emancipation Proclamation: Lincoln’s Many Second Thoughts. Author and researcher C. Findley (2014) in a study and analysis of the “Visual Legacies Of Slavery, And Emancipation” as seen through the eyes of artists W. H. Williams and Glenn Ligon, provide riveting evidence of the artistic expressions, artist, painting, lithography, and other visual expressions that allow the artist to examine self- emancipation and self-determination and agency, in the symbolic possessions of the past. Findley’s reflection on the artistic value of the legacies of Emancipation, which also included a discussion of the legacy and memorials left by early expressions, and how it has shaped the artistic expressions in today’s culture, are a powerful reminder of slavery. Findley provided a thought provoking platform and an eye-opener on the contribution made by slaves to our ever-changing society, and for the future. Author L P Reed in appraising the contributions of Jenna Gibbs’ study of the trans-Atlantic performance of race, points to the contributions significant to modernization; especially regarding slaves blessed with artistic flair, and how in particular Samuel Jennings 1790 painting “Liberty Displaying the Arts and Science” brings its potency to the classical props of western humanism. He explains how the realities of slavery grew to influence the shaping of artistic expressions, scientific and political achievements, and cultural diversity, and has contributed to the establishment that is today’s society. This large impressive paintings is so suggestive of the ideas of liberty and prosperity; although at the time incongruent, is rooted in the staunch commitment to the abolition of the slavery machinery. Interestingly, beneath all its altruism lies the issue of what to do with slaves after emancipation; a matter so complex at the time that it still has repercussion today, that of magnifying their achievements in no uncertain manner.The role played by slavery is intrinsic to each and every opportunity we enjoy in today’s society. The vision and commitment of some slaves; in particular bondsmen, have in some ways started the journey having chosen servitude as a way of life, and they were particularly proud of their stewardship and influence in shaping numerous societies. Luminaries such as Aaron Douglas (1899-1979) who played such a pivotal role in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920’s, and is the regarded as “the father of black American Art”, Hiram Revels of Mississippi who became the first African-American senator (1870), Booker T. Washington-Founder of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (1881) in Alabama, and George Washington Carver, who in 1896 began a revolutionary teaching career, and whose scientific and research endeavors, has contributed significantly to the development of agricultural advancements; the effects of which are still echoed today. The black conscious movement also gained impetus with the establishment by Marcus Garvey of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (1914), an influential black nationalist organization with the aim of promoting the spirit of race pride; creating a sense of worldwide unity among blacks. Today, these germs of ideas and creativity have direct and impel others to action; to continually transcend the shackles of the day to provide a pathway for others to grasp the opportunities of today, and to dream and build a greater future.A story relevant to the opportunities afforded through the contribution of slavery and is evident to contemporary society, is one written by C. Buzinde & I Osagie (2011) which chronicles the adventure and experience of the fugitive slave William Wells Brown, and how his presence in London and New York at the time could destabilize one’s view of tourism, and the implication for freedom and mobility in a society with tenuous power enforced on others due to the color of their skins. William Wells Brown was the son of a white man and an enslaved woman. He was exposed to, and experienced slavery in a variety of conditions which prepared him to make a significant impact on the abolition movement, and to operate as a respected lecturer for the Western New York Anti-Slavery Society in 1843. His adaptation allowed him to work as a housekeeper, field slave, an assistant to a tavern keeper, a printer, and a slave-trader; James Walker. William had escaped the bond of slavery, ably assisted by Quaker Wells Brown from whom he adopted his name out of gratitude and admiration. His work as a literary extraordinaire has paved the way for the disenfranchised minority of the time, and is still a beacon that will light the way to the future for others.The role of slavery to an improved way of life in today’s society is immeasurable, and it is noted that society would not be the same today, if not for the contributions of slavery. Contemporary society is characterized by the impact human knowledge and interactions have exemplified the efforts of successive generations to progress. How the human way of life has evolved, is testament to the diversity afforded through the vehicle of the slave trade, and its revolutionary factors of ethnic and cultural diversity, that uniquely create social, cultural, economic, and technological advances in modern society. Today’s society has seen unprecedented historic achievements where humans beings interact closely with each other, businesses compete at speeds that boggles the mind, and anyone, anywhere can be reached in real time, anytime. The implications are astounding, yet the world we are experiencing today, would not have been possible without the contributions from the different ethnic groups, that has evolved out of the slave trade of our early history.The visions, and indeed the triumphs of slavery, are the revolutionary thrust and impetus that has afforded societies the opportunity to bask in the glory of their accomplishments, yet who is to say that chattel servitude will ever be entirely eradicated from the annals of our history. To attain such achievements, and to have left such indelible marks on an unforgiven society, are testaments to the dream, tenacity, determination, and ambitious pursuit for recognition and identity of self. Success and progress will forever be tainted by the poison administered during those turbulent years- several generations removed from the first exodus; over a lifetime trials and tribulation that has now seen the fruition of efforts that has germinated to provide the catalyst for the modernization characterizing our society. The scars may not be seen, will never go away, although one thing is certain; they will always be worn with pride.Reference SectionRecommendation # 1Lake Mohonk, New Paltz, NY 12561Telephone: (845) 255-1000Reservation direct line: (800) 772-6646Fax: (845) 256-2161November 29, 2017To Whom It May ConcernChristopher Thompson was employed by Mohonk Mountain House for over 7 years, during which time he displayed exemplary behavior in the process of carrying out his duties.He started his employment in August of 2007 as a Receiving Clerk, and eventually was promoted to Shipping & Receiving Inventory Associate in the Purchasing Department.

The lack of an efficient business entity to supply adequate service in the shipping and receiving of commercial, residential, and private products, has served to amplify the need for a solution to the problem. This plan outlines the strategic focus of the organization’s marketing activities from 1-5 years.Mission Statement “Reliable Shipping Company will provide efficient, incomparable, cutting-edge services to its customers in a timely professional manner, making the cardinal aim of our business, the satisfaction, and contentment of our clients”. GoalsThe aim of the marketing strategy is to transform the present mediocrity of inferior service by offering a more superior product at a more competitive price, with a promise of complete customer satisfaction. The target market is farm workers, West Indians, Central and South Americans, where there is a need to be satisfied in transporting personal and household items to their respective native countries.Core Competency and Sustainable competitive AdvantageThe focus and vision of the marketing plan is to provide access to domestic, and some international markets. Using social media advertising, print, cable, and cell phone applications, our service and product will be made visible and available to the targeted audience with guarantees to respond to, and resolve all customer concerns within a 24 hour period. Our central theme will be to epitomize our customer satisfaction focus as the vehicle for exemplary service to our clients, and provide impetus in positioning and maintaining our brand identity. Situation AnalysisImperative to the successful implementation of a business marketing effort, is the present internal and external analysis of factors, which are essential components to the success of the marketing operation, and serves as a barometer to measure and sustain present business climate, and to provide a strategy to aid in research and development. This important tool is the SWOT Analysis, which allows a company to explore its strengths and weaknesses and plan accordingly. It ensures adequate policing of concerns or perceived problem areas, and is an imperative tool used in planning and analysis.SWOT AnalysisInternal Strength: (1) The execution and success of the marketing plan is dependent on the efficiency, and sustained use of analysis to maximize the resources available in attaining the goals of providing exceptional service. This included its strategic location to an accessible network of roads, interstate highway, railroads, shipping ports, and other cities. (2) The availability of unlimited funding for start-up operations, with Chase Bank a subsidiary of J. P. Morgan Financial Network the agency approved to do so. (3) The uniqueness of the product offer and competitive pricing in comparison to present competitors pricing. (4) The promise of enviable customer service offer which spurs the willingness of the targeted audience to access and use the service. (5) The leadership structure which provides sound professional managers that epitomize the ideals of the company.Internal Weaknesses: (1) Lack of proper training and personnel could comprise the product integrity. (2) The lack of corrective actions when deviations occur from the planned course of action. (3) Lack of accountability and proactive actions to maintain the integrity of the product and service.External Opportunities: (1) New target group: Based on the analysis of Research and Development Plan, and the exodus of Returning Residents to their home country, there is evidence to suggest that there will be a thriving global market in 5 years as projected. (2) Unsatisfied clients: An increase in population, diversity in culture, and ethnicity of residents will continue to provide opportunities, increase consumer base, and hence market share.

The modes of transportations are air, rail, water, road, and pipeline; this according to the North American Industry Classification System. The history of the Transportation Industry dates back to the pre-war era with the use of water, and the advent of the railroad. In the 1970’s according to the U.S Census Bureau, was when mainstream transportation of industrial goods was made available by road, and the growth continued into the 1980’s when the Trucking and Storage Industry began to impose its influence on the local industry. The Trucking and Storage Industry consist of firms that provide storage, warehousing, and other services in addition to transportation within 50 miles of the business location including urban areas and its suburbs. The industry is divided between firms that transport and store furniture, and household items locally, and firms that transport and store goods. In 1994, three-quarters of the industry’s revenue was derived from motor carrier work. A total of 63% of this revenue came from local trucking, and the remainder from long-distance trucking.Industry firms are generally classified as “specialty freight” carriers, because the materials they transport are typically household goods, and require special equipment for loading and unloading, and transport. Local firms that both move and store household goods, comprised roughly about 20% of the total household goods by the moving industry in 1987. The American Industry trend of the 1980’s and 1990’s, created a problem for shippers of manufactured goods and materials, who responded by warehousing goods in the same locality as their customers, enabling them to respond more quickly to continual changes in their customer orders while lowering shipping expenses. Local trucking companies participated in this trend by providing transport, warehousing, and logistic solutions to shippers and their customers. This has continued today with third-party logistic arrangements, where local storage and trucking firms provide the requisite services in delivering products to shippers. Many Trucking Firms became dominant players of the Moving and Shipping Industry of the 1980’s; Belkin, Mayflower, Allied, North American, and U-Haul are all familiar names. In 2001, the industry leader was Belkin’s Van Lines LLC of Hillside, Illinois with $207 million in revenue, and over 400 employees. Overall the General Local Trucking Freight industry reported revenues of $14.96 billion in 2001, and the Local Specialized Freight Trucking Industry, revenues of $25.36 billion, also in 2001. The overall employment expectation was for the industry to continue its steady growth into 2012, with better opportunities for heavy and light truck petitor AnalysisArnoff Moving and Storage is the oldest and fastest growing Hudson Valley Storage, and Logistic Provider.

In facilitating sales of the company’s goods and services, it is necessary to evaluate the objective and goals of the plan, and determine whether they were developed based on realistic circumstances and expectations, and achievable targets. Reliable Shipping objective is to harness this void with hassle-free, efficient, invaluable, and uncompromising service. The Immigrant Population has ensured diverse cultures, and ethnicity among the populace, will provide the impetus that will drive the needs of the target group and consumer base.Customer AnalysisWhere Arnoff Moving and Storage through their logistic division, has provided some relief to the shipping needs of residents, this is but a minimal effort compared to the vast majority of the consumer needs; this Immigrant Population is the targeted consumers. The immigrant population of the Hudson Valley and its environs account for 13% to 16% of the population, which represents approximately 465,000 individuals. This population is responsible for 16% of total economic output. The Immigrant Economic Contribution Ratio is a strong 1.21; toward the high end of the range for the 25 metro areas, and above the ratio of the country as a whole. This is against the background of a contribution ratio of 1.00 which is the bench-mark that measures immigrant population in proportion to their contribution. This falls in line with the market projection to target a consumer base with interests in the West Indies, Central and South America. Market-Product FocusMarket–Product Focus is the reach or degree of penetration to which a small number of firms account for a large percentage of a market. These firms account for the majority of the specific product that is within a market.Marketing and Product ObjectiveThe goal of the Marketing function is to promote the product 6 months prior to the opening of the business, to increase product awareness among the targeted consumers. Provide an information campaign detailing product features in order to reduce consumer resistance to buy the product. The objective is to have clear, concise, established goals in getting the word out to help in the successful implementation of the plan.Target MarketThe target market is the Immigrant Population residing in the Hudson Valley Region of New York State, and the targeted group most likely to buy/use the services offered. In an analysis of this data, we have defined the target market by understanding:The problems our product solves, and who are the most likely to suffer from these problems.Provides a picture of the consumers that suffer from the problem; access targeted groups by zip codes, market sectors (manufacturers, laborers, managers, etc.).Who will gain from the value of your service; to whom will the problems be most troublesome, who will have the most to lose by not dealing with these issues.Think about your market; find and solidify your market niche through the use of social media, print or otherwise. Make your product irresistible; let each customer enjoy a unique viewing experience.Look internally within the company to identify areas of expertise with regard to geographic areas, and people skills.What else is available; how are we uniquely positioned to solve this and additional problems. Points of DifferenceAnalyze the key differences in your product and the competition. Highlight this product differentiation to stand out from the competition in a positive way. It must be synonymous with its unique selling proposition, and critical in deficiency of the competitive advantage, and branding strategy. Such positives include competitive price, the offering of incentives, unique and incomparable customer service. PositioningIn identifying and pursuing the need to occupy the market niche, we will begin by using the competitive pricing strategy. Promotion through an alliance with local businesses, partnerships, and the use of social media, setting out efficient distribution routes, while focusing on punctuality, safety, professionalism, and curtesy. These actions will cement the specialty of our product and services, compared to the competition. Marketing ProgramProduct StrategyThe purpose and focus of this strategy is the target audience (Immigrant Populace), and to draw attention to the product in relation to consumer attributes. The buyer of our shipping service (product) is buying a means to move commercial and residential items from one location to the next. Through exceptional quality of service, excellent customer relations, on-time pick-up and delivery, safe transportation of items, and unparalleled crisis resolution, Reliable Shipping will highlight customer satisfaction with the aim to continually improve our product. We will promote product attributes, superior quality, outstanding features that benefit all, and provide character to our product, and uniqueness to its value. The aim is to market a brand that is outstanding in name, design, sign, or a combination of these elements.Price StrategyPricing is the most important element of the marketing mix. In pricing we will take into account:Fixed and variable costsCompetition pricingThe company’s objectivesProposed positioning strategiesTarget group, and willingness to pay.We will start with Penetration Pricing in order to increase sales and market shares. Once this is accomplished, the company may increase the price. We will also use Competitive Pricing during which we will set prices in comparison with our competitors, while producing a more superior product. Penetration Pricing will use a low priced product with the goal of securing market share to lure customers away from the current competition, and to discourage new competition from entering the industry. A strategy is in place to sustain mass production of our offering of discount of 20% on all shipping items over the initial 3 month period of operation, with incentives of 25% off pickup rates for new customer to spread the word about how good our product is. There are a number of positives and negatives with this pricing strategy. AdvantagesThis will enable us to earn quick market sharesCreate a high volume of sales that will offer lower profit margins.Make use of mouth- to mouth advertising; allowing satisfied customers to speak with pride about our product and services.Using the increase in sales volume as a way to strengthen brand recognition and customer loyalty.DisadvantagesThe products will have to be accessed and used quicklyThere will be a lower profit margin than projectedThis pricing strategy could backfire and create a price war with competitors, who might lower their price even further.In summary the penetrating pricing strategy will allow us to be competitive by under selling our more established competition as part of the strategy in securing a loyal customer base, gradually increase prices. We will employ the “hook and bait” strategy; selling our main product at a lower price to encourage a large acquisition of market share, while selling peripheral items at a much higher price.Our Competitive Pricing will be made more attractive due to the added incentive offered, at a price lower or equal to that offered by the competition. We will offer the same discount incentives for the same period of time, and then transition into our plan to stabilize our pricing to reflect comparable market price. AdvantagesThe ability to get market share by producing/highlighting a far superior productOperate at a profitThis plan is more simple and easier to executeDisadvantagesThis strategy will probably cause competitors to lower pricesHave a negative long-term effect on the consumers and the companyCause profit margin to dwindleIn summary the Competition Base Pricing is a variable option for new businesses, especially where there is minor or limited differentiation between products. It is in most ways superior to cost based pricing, with market orientation in mind. Prices in a perfectly competitive market are sometimes the lowest sustainable prices possible as sometimes intense competition will force prices down to the point where revenue from prices will result in a company just reaching efficient state a market will achieve. The unit price per product unit shows a low of $8, a premium price of $12, and the competitive price of $10 which is arrived at by calculating the unit contribution margin,(unit revenue – variable cost for each unit) and the resulting figure is the amount each units earns (See calculations from breakeven analysis). The premium price although preferred will only be secured by producing high end luxury items.Breakeven AnalysisBreakeven Analysis provides statistical data to determine when the business will be able to cover all operating expenses, and begin to make a profit. Identifying start-up costs, projected sales revenue, and the capital needed to pay ongoing expenses; are all variables needed to ascertain the breakeven point. The breakeven point is reached when revenue equals all business costs. When revenue surpasses all business costs, then the company is operating at a profit.Identify the fixed costs.Identify the variable costsThe Breakeven Analysis is based on six (6) factors in determining the point at which profitability is reached. The six factors are:Determine the company’s fixed costs: Any costs that do not depend on the volume of productionDetermine the variable costs: Those costs that will fluctuate with production volume. In shipping containers, you will need to buy more containers if business uses an excess (The cost of shipping barrels, boxes, crates, misc. items).Determine the cost at which to sell the product: the price will be as high as the production costs.Calculate the unit contribution margin: Calculate how much money each unit brings in, minus each unit variable costs (unit revenue – variable cost per unit). Unit revenue is $105The variable costs are: Container: $45 Wages: $10 Miscellaneous: $5.50 Contribution margin = unit revenue – variable cost = $105 – (45+10+5.50) = $105 - $60.50 = $44.50 Each container shipped earn $44.50Calculate the breakeven point: The breakeven point tells you the volume of sales you will need to cover all your costs; it is calculated by dividing your fixed costs by your production contribution margin. For example; if fixed cost for the year is $16,000, then the breakeven point is $16,000 divide by $44.50 (contribution margin). So $16,000/44.50 = 359.55 units or approximately 360 units to be shipped.Determine the expected profits or losses: in determining your breakeven volume, you will be able to estimate your expected profit. Each additional unit sold will produce revenues equal to its contribution margin. If 360 units are needed to breakeven and the company does 365 units in a year, the profit will be (365 – 360) x 44.50 = $222.50Promotion StrategyThe promotion strategy will make use of different efforts to garner attention to the product offer. This will be done through:Advertising: We will advertise using print through flyers, television, and mouth to mouth. Taking our product directly to our targeted customers.Sales Promotion: There will be offers in the form of coupons, discounted pricing in pick-up and deliveries, and up to 15% discount on referrals that produce sales. Public Relations: We will do a public campaign to educate the community of the value we have placed on their contribution to our company. Supporting educational programs and be socially responsible to the community and environment.Personal Selling: All members of our organization will ensure through personal contact and the speedy resolution of complaints that our projections for sales revenue and customer relations are met and surpassed.Referrals: We will depend on customer referrals to reach a selected market segment, and to further our aim of acquiring market share. By providing exemplary service businesses and residents responses will ensure our product is advertised. Place (Distribution) StrategyIn an attempt to gain market share, and consumer base, we will put the product and highlight our services in front of consumers by placing themIn Local Stores: We will form partnerships with local businesses as a way to be visibleOnline: The use of social media to expand our reach, and draw attention to our web presence.Marketing and Promotional events: Marketing and promotional events will take place locally as well as at premier event such as career fairs, flea market, festivals, county fairs.Financial Data and ProjectionThe use of financial data to analyze the financial health of the business, and to make financial projections, based on conservative sales forecast, and revenue over a specific time period.Past Sales RevenueAs a new company, there are no financial records available for use in ascertaining or measuring financial data. We will however use market trends to make an educated forecast of past sales revenue, as a means of using supporting data for the five year projections.Five Year ProjectionThe Five Year Projection for sales is outlined in the chart. Organizational StructureThe organizational Structure defines the culture of the organization, and how the business activities are directed towards the achievement of the organization’s goals. It outlines the task allocation, coordination and supervision, and details the chain of command. Reliable Shipping will begin operations with owner/manager as the head of the organization, with a Financial Manager for financial duties, and a Marketing/Sales manager along with eight employees.ImplementationYour marketing Strategy should focus on the goals of the company, in alignment with the Implementation strategy in mind. Implementation requires a purposeful and tactical approach where:Goals are clearly set: The aim of our business is outlined in our charter that exemplify and epitomize our mission and purpose.The timetable meets turnaround needs: Logs and time tables are in place to streamline deliveries, pick-up, shipping, sorting, employees and manufacturing schedules.Turnkey processes are in place: Reliable Shipping will use turn-key software to package, label, and ship merchandise, log in shipments and sort packages.A professional team is in place: We have assembled a diverse professional team to see to the duties of the companyAn excellent support system is in place, and the services and communication network has been demonstrated. Evaluation and ControlEvaluation and control of the progress, or lack thereof must be measurable in order to analyze the progress of the marketing plan in a structured manner. Evaluation and control must therefore address the following criteria:How to meet current and future goals: Adhere to financial and economic forecast detailed in our business plan. Our budget outlines how our expenditure will be allocated to each cost center, and ongoing analysis will ensure our spending remain in our financial parameter.How to retool for cost efficiency: Reliable Shipping must revisit our technology periodically to ensure we maintain the integrity of our system through efficiency, and exceptional quality assurance.What is needed at start-up: All resources are in place to commence operation including personnel, raw material, transportation, capital, process software and engineering technology.Re-order levels: Our inventory will reflect the highest quality raw materials, and our re-order level will reflect our efficiency in operation.Transportation: We have a fleet of modern vehicle to carry out our transportation needsAmount of personnel: Ten employees including managersHow to measure and track outcomes: There are measures in place to track deliveries, invoicing, mail, costs, work-in-progress, raw materials, damages, and earningsBibliographyDonna Anselmo, author and business owner discusses the tenets of marketing and provide a layman’s view of the marketing function, and its basic applications.

The aim of the plan was to address the specific and peripheral needs of the community playground and its immediate environs, and to develop strategies to renovate and restore it to prominence. The Research & Development team through extensive data gathering and analysis, and with support from federal and state agencies, and inputs from community organizations, identified the following critical needs areas.Entrances to the parkBasketball courtsConfiguration of parking lot to accommodate new spacingDrainage system to prevent floodingImprovement and enhancement to existing buildingsLighting for park and surrounding area to enhance security.Renovation of the interior areasRenovation of sidewalkHandicapped ramps for ease of accessFamily recreation AreaAcquisition of park equipment; playpens, swings, slides, and benchesDuring the progression of the planning process, there were many goals and desires put forth by the stakeholders. Our design team along with the Community Vision Team was able to point the master plan development is a direction that enabled us to address the specific needs of the sponsors and customers, but serves to give direction in establishing a path forward that would strengthen and enhance the existing facility, but will also promote the growth and development of the community and its people.The mission will be addressed through the following:Preservation of the historic park as a catalyst for community developmentImprovement to the existing building to expand services embrace green technologiesImprovement to accessibility by the creation of handicapped features throughout the facilityCreation of interior family recreation spaceCreation of eco-friendly environment using state-of-the-art lighting and a means for efficient garbage disposalImprovement to the fa?ade and interior finishesImprovement to parking space, signage, and directionsPlanning, engineering, programming, conceptual design, and budgeting have been completed. The Master Plan proposal addresses improvements and extensive renovation to the existing building structure, 2 basketball courts, children play area, and the new family recreation area. The conceptual design will provide 3 new entrances, 2 handicapped compliance ramps, improvement to existing sidewalks, and expansion to the parking facility. The concept design also provided multiple accessible routes, adequate lighting throughout the facility for enhanced security, and safety, and an efficient drainage system to mitigate flooding risks.For the solution to materialized, the following will be addressed:Project Plan DatesProject Budget (Planned vs. Actual Budget)Business need and benefitsSummary of present plan statusAny additional information helpful for executive stakeholdersProject Plan DatesThe project is scheduled to begin promptly on July 1, 2017, and be completed on or before December 23, 2016.

The reason for using the parametric method is that this is a construction project, and it can reduce the estimating process by 80 percent. It is an excellent communication tool which gives contractors the opportunity to discuss with the team during review, the assumptions and their impact, and with effective estimating the team will have a path for the project to remain within budget. Original Budgeted Cost Actual Budgeted CostEstimated Labor$75,00Labor$63,750Estimated Materials$100,000Materials$55,020.98Estimated Contractor$200,000Contractor$180,000.00Estimated Equipment and Facilities$200,000Equipment and Facilities$18,943.00Estimated Travel$40,000Travel$25,000Total Estimated Cost$615,000Total Actual Cost$342,713.98 Comparing the original budget cost to the final budget the variance which have occurred are favorable since the expenses are lower than what the financial planners had estimated. Labor was estimated to be $75,000 but instead labor is $63,750.00 materials were estimated at $100,000 is $55,020.00. The budget approval is central for providing the funding for the successful completion of the projectAs contingency for the unexpected risks, a contingency plan in place for expenditure of $150,000. This a plan for three month worth of expenses for areas that will provide a structure to identify, quantify and prioritize risk and opportunities, set productivity goals, and allocate resources.

Project CharterThe Playground Restoration Project was undertaken by Company Team E with a purpose to transform a vision into reality by delivering a state-of-the art product uniquely featured as a quality entity serving the needs of the stakeholders. This section will provide an overview of the project; examining the three components necessary to guide the project to a successful completion. The three sections are:The Project Overview SectionThe project Approach SectionThe Project Approval SectionIt provides a document that outlines where we are going, what we hope to achieve, and why we are going there.Mission/ PurposeWe are a market-focused, process- driven organization that develops and delivers innovative solutions to our customers, to build stakeholder value through the creation of state-of-the-art solutions that exemplifies functionality and services to the community in cost effective ways. We will accomplish this mission by being socially responsible, while embracing the highest standards in quality and service, reliability, safety and cost management in our industry.ProjectDescription and Project ProductProject DescriptionThe redevelopment and restoration of the local playground is central to the growth, and indeed the continued survival of the community, and is essential to the holistic development of its people. Neglect and vandalism of the original structures due to a lack of funding and community consciousness has resulted in a dilapidated structure. The project when completed will have created a product/entity providing value to the community; epitomizing ideals for building productive citizens, while embracing cardinal values of respect, integrity, health consciousness, family development, and social responsibility.The final project/product is a multi-purpose eco-friendly public park with state-of-the-art playground, handicap accessible with public amenities, picnic areas, emergency aid station, and parking lots. Its successful completion will be an improvement to the existing facility, providing a value-added entity to the community and businesses, as an attraction for visitors to the area, and an impetus for increased economic development.The final design of the Playground Renovation Project will be coordinated by the Community Impact Team, but jointly designed the Environmental Protection Agency in collaboration with our engineering department. The work will be conducted from July to December, and the finished product will be re-opened in January of 2017.The project will consist of the following deliverables:1. Repair and renovation to the existing structure/building (40 feet x 15 feet); painting, roof repair, replacement of bathroom fixtures to include the installation of handicapped accessible features.2. Replacement of electrical wiring, fuse-box, receptacles, and the installation of lighting fixtures to heighten security3. 3 manholes will be installed to provide adequate drainage4. Re-pavement of the basketball court, parking lot, entrances (3 @ 6 x 6), and side-walk5. Purchase of new playpens (2), swings (3), metal park benches (6), basketball rims (2), and construction of new recreation area (40 feet x 55 feet) for family gathering/picnic purposes.6. Building of 2 handicapped ramps for accessibility, and increasing handicapped parking from 4 to 8 parking spaces.ObjectivesTo redevelop the playground so that children can use it safely. The present day playground needs to be updated so that it can include children and adults with disabilities. We want to allow intense movement where children can spin or go swinging in different directions. Children should be able to play creatively and imaginatively, where they are free to be exploratory and boundless. The goal for the playground is that it will have its own unique features, which will attract people in the neighborhood, and other in the neighboring communities, there will be: Special need to have a range of disabilities, mental, and health related limitation that will include a variety of different activities for children at all levels of ability. To promote healthy play where some of the equipment can be moved, changed and shifted where the child’s brain can continue to grow, this will help them to develop cognitive and motor skills. Providing a healthy and safe environment for the public, where it is easy access and very functional for children and families and is interactive and stimulating to children and adults. Business NeedThe playground restoration project will have a positive impact in the community, since it will provide value in addressing the needs of a community that values communal time; where families can spend time with each other, where children as well as adults are able to enjoy holistic activities in a safe and healthy environment. The entity created will be safe with the most improved equipment for children to play, while they socialize with other children. The restoration will also provide jobs for others too.Milestones Playground Project Milestones The project schedule is a planned process giving an accurate forecast/prediction of the work required to complete the project in a timely manner, and within the budget.

The reason for using the parametric method, it’s mainly use in construction and it can reduce the estimating process by 80 percent, it is an excellent communication tool which give the contractor the opportunity to discuss with the team to review the assumptions and their impact, and with effective estimating the team will have a path for the project to remain within budget.Original Budgeted Cost Actual Budgeted CostEstimated Labor$75,000Labor$63,750Estimated Materials$100,000Materials$55,020.98Estimated Contractor$200,000Contractor$180,000.00Estimated Equipment and Facilities$200,000Equipment and Facilities$18,943.00Estimated Travel$40,000Travel$25,000Total Estimated Cost$615,000Total Actual Cost$342, 713.98Comparing the original budget cost to the final budget cost the variance which have occurred are favorable for the expenses are lower than what we as a team had estimated to be, for labor was estimated to be $75,000 but instead labor is $63,750.00 materials was estimated at $100,000 but it’s $55,020.98. Looking the budget it has work out great for our projectWe all know that sometimes the unexpected can occurred, so that is why we are also prepared for the worst with a contingency plan in place for additional expenditure of $150,000. We have three month worth of expenses, we will provide a structure to identify, quantify and prioritize risk and opportunities, set productivity goals, and allocate resources. Resource Management Report The resource management report is central to the overall management of the project with concentration on allocation, coordination, and monitoring of all resources. Resource management must ensure the optimum use of the master project plan to manage the entire resource pool for the project. Once resources are approved, a budget will be in place to provide the financials to complete the project. The project will make use of the MS Project software with built-in technology to aid in the management of its resources; built-in over allocation checks, built-in functionality, is user friendly, allocation of resources are generated according to tasks, and are updated frequently.Project plans must be properly managed to ensure there is less complication in task management, and all team members will be trained to use the technology.Resource allocationWe will allocate appropriate time and resources to select the right person for the role of team member, as this will have many positives on the project.

Coordinating of the project will begin with the planning operations, monitoring and controlling of all resources and activities, and will use the following elements:Project Plan: Through the project plan we establish the scope, objectives, aims, and methodologies we will use for the project in addition to the manner in which the project activities will be performed, the roles and responsibility of team members and stake holders, and the associated budget/costs. This plan serves as the basis on which the project manager and team monitor progress and make decisionsThe project support plans: The project support plans are developed to provide impetus to the project and includes the:Budget plans, Human resources planCommunication planRisk management planQuality and evaluation planDissemination planManagement structureThe project must set up the management structure to ensure the effective method of planning, communicating, and decision-making are in place; that deliverables and reports are submitted on time; that project work is performed on schedule, projective objectives and outcomes are achieved, and the project work is performed on schedule.Project managerDepending on the scope and nature of the project, the project manager will have overall responsibility for the coordination effort in driving the project deliveries. To accomplish this task the project manager should have the necessary skills and capabilities.Project teamStaffing requirements base on project proposal, schedule, task assignment, and activities.Project meetings Meetings must be organized throughout the project lifetime, and is an important way to communicate within the project partnerships. The coordination plan specifies the time of each meeting and its purposeProject documentation The core set of documents needed to guide the project. The coordination plan should specify these documentsMonitoringThe project team was selected based on the expertise of each member, and their ability to adapt to the expected changes as outline in our risks assessment. Each functional area of the project will be led by capable individuals respected within the industry, bringing experience, innovation, and diversity to the team.Motivation: The project manager will use as motivational tools: Performance appraisal to measure each team member’s contributionThe timeliness of tasks completed according to schedule to provide incentives/compensationListen and invite feedback to enhance communicationEstablish individual and team goalsMeasure/cite accomplishments and provide rewardsProvide the team with technology that will give real time feed and updateConflict Management: The project team will manage conflict by:Exercising power of office; when there is a high risk of danger and employee safety, issuing a command or directive to solve a conflict rest with the authority of the managerWithdrawal and avoidance to be better prepared, and possible calm the situationCompromise where each interest/team member to the conflict get a degree of satisfactionGetting professional help when and where possible to handle conflict; use a mediatorDelegating conflict resolution responsibilities to a trusted team memberBeing proactive and aware, and solving underlying problems before they become symptoms.Listening; keeping the eyes open, and mouth closedAcknowledging a team member first, and calling a meeting to resolve the issues.Conflict is ongoing, and is always present in a team environment. The aim is to manage conflict effectively to minimize its effect on the success of the project.The choice of structure selected for the project is the pure project structure, where a self-contained team will work full time on the project. This choice of structure was chosen based on the decision to assign a project manager with full authority over the project team. The team will report directly to one manager with access to optimize communication in an effective manner, enabling quick response to aid decision-making. We will ensure team pride throughout, provide motivation, and ensure commitments are high.Using the pure project structure, we will minimize risks by ensuring organizational goals and policies are adhered to as a way of providing focus for the team, ensure there is adequate scope management to minimize or prevent duplication of resources, and ensure a timely transfer of new technology, that will strengthen our functional munications Management PlanThe communication plan will be dynamic and flexible, providing the interface that will address constant change and the requisite responses to enhance all stakeholder relationship through constant dialogue, and the dissemination of pertinent information in a timely manner. We will have regulars meetings to see how we are doing with regards to scheduled inspections, quality checks and measures concerning our project; we will be communicating through emails, phone calls, text, and video chats.In the communication plan, the key elements will provide information for all stakeholders to remain engaged with the project, and to provide clarity of status and direction as to its progress. The communication plan will cover:1. A brief background for the communication plan2. Stakeholders Analysis3. Clearly stated objectives4. A Communication Strategy5. Potential Issues and Risks6. BudgetThe project objectives, scope, and communication objectives must be clearly stated so as not to lack force and direction. All stakeholders must be communicated with during the project lifecycle; especially in risk management where communication will be vital. Once the preliminaries are in place, it is imperative to start implementing the communication plan to ensure coverage of all scenarios, status update, risk management, and budgetary concerns. We must determine how issues will be chronicled, who should be informed and when, planned meetings, frequency of meetings, methodologies for enhancing communications, and to address all ambiguities. We will continue the communication plan/strategy after the completion of the project to evaluate its effectiveness as to what worked, and what did not work. These findings will be analyzed, and the findings incorporated into our next project as a way to increase our competitiveness, brand identity, and value.The purpose of a Communications Plan is to document the key elements of a communications strategy, including:Frequency (Schedule)Method of DeliveryRecipientsData Collection and AnalysisFeedbackFormatOwnerEffective communication can be:Formal or InformalVerbal or WrittenPeriodic or As NeededIn addition, communication must be:Timely and conciseInclusiveComplete and usableValuable: Clear and correctElements to Include in the Communication PlanThis document outlines the plan of communication for the Playground Restoration Project Team.
