...Economics of setting up a Tennis club clinic This study aimed to study and research on the financial prerequisites of setting up a tennis club. It details the resources needed, procedures followed and criteria adhered to when starting a tennis club. It further expounds on practices to ensure that the club runs profitability. Tennis is undoubtedly the most major game played in academic institutions; it’s played in all elementary schools, high schools and colleges across continents. A lot of financial, economic, management and HR practices need to be addressed in setting up a club club (Keighley, 2010). In this light, the paper will dwell on the economic side detailing the mandatory resources, and procedures. With this knowledge one can smoothly run a successful tennis club. The most emphasized aspect to a club is hiring a professional management team for the club (Sprecher, 2016). Coaches and managers with proficient qualifications should be hired to drive the business aspect of this venture. A coach is instrumental in nurturing talent and lessening negative experiences (Perris, 2000 ). The study further analyzes budgeting for initial set up cost, recurrent expenditures, cash flows and profitability of the club. It accounts for resources such as salaries of administrative stuff, purchase of equipment, maintenance of facilities, organization of competition, petty cash and consultation services. Therefore we cannot overlook the need for sponsorship, endorsement, talent scouting...

...Technical Vs Casual Writing Technical writing includes essays, papers, M.A. and Ph.D. theses, and report writing for grants and research. It is highly structured with suggestions for margin lengths, paragraph headings, research and above all a research study with experimental data, and a particular format. Whereas Casual writing has no specific rules to follow except to communicate with another person or group of people. Examples of casual writing would class notes, memos, friendly letters, diaries, and post-it notes, chatting and messaging etc. The finished paper has to be re-read in order to eliminate grammatical or typing errors, as these form part of the grading process in technical writing whereas the casual writer is free write its imagination and write as he or she would speak, without having to stick to a particular format. Sentences are mostly short and direct, with no further explanation needed. We frequently use emoticons, slang words etc while casual writing which sometimes can annoy reader or the message is not clear. Technical writing has advantage over it that the message is concise, understandable, and time saving. In casual writing there may be grammatical mistakes which lead to misunderstanding as compared to technical writing. But in my opinion writing casually is more easy and fun. You can write whatever you want to without tension of maintaining the structure and format of writing. An example of both is: Technical writing: This is to inform you that...

...True Fitness Business Plan By Ian Davenport 1 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The business outlined in this plan is an “all-sport” club that will offer a variety of different exercise techniques in order to please its clients. We feel this market is very profitable because it reaches over 33.8 million people across the United States and brings in over $12.2 billion annually. Club memberships in the United States have increased every year since 1987 and a strong market makes a strong business. We are a solid investment because start-up sports gyms on average take in 1,000 new members per year. This will allow our business to break even in less than five years. Our club, “True Fitness” will offer its members quality services and benefits that no other club can offer. We want to take investments and use them wisely in order to create a sports facility that pleases customers. In sports clubs, the top five most profitable programs/services are personal training, massage therapy, food/beverages, an aquatics program, and a tennis program. Our gym will provide all of these services and thus increase our productivity. We will build a large complex that will include a pool, personal training facilities, basketball courts, a day spa, tennis courts, and many other features to attract clientele. Through our knowledge of the Tri-Valley area and our willingness to take risks we will be able to build a single center into a profitable facility. Livermore, where our facility will be built has a large...

...Research Paper 1 Introduction to Sociology Richard Fields SOC 101: Research Paper Jeremy Baker December 2, 2013 Research Paper 2 Research Paper This outline paper contains the importance of three Sociological theories, Functionalism, Conflict and Interaction of the sociological institution of economics. It discusses five different elements; (1) how each theory that applies to the sociological institution, (2) what is the same and differences, (3) how each theory affects the views of the individual who is part of the institution, (4) the approach to social change within the institution, and lastly (5) how each theory affects the views of society. Along with how does each theory apply to the sociological institution or economics. The functionalism theory in regards to economics does certainly affect the world which we live in. This change is noted by Hegelian dialectics, functionalism and structuralism, (Karsten, 2005). There are economies becoming intertwined within the increasing internet of the global economy. Enterprises have developed a global idea by internationalizing their products and services, encouraging labor and capital to move quickly among industrialized countries, affecting social, fiscal, and monetary policies.

...Richard Attias Become a fan Email The Development Factor: The Challenge of Sport in the 21st Century Posted: 10/21/2014 8:39 am EDT Updated: 10/29/2014 9:59 Sport occupies a peculiar place in world dynamics in that it surpasses the limitations of geographical boundaries and social classes. Still, a gap remains between developed and developing nations when it comes to sport. In the industrialized world, sport as an economic sector represents approximately 2% of GDP. For developing economies, though, the challenge remains making sport a factor of economic development, and a driver for social change, so it benefits all citizens in the long term. UNESCO's 1978 International Charter of Physical Education and Sport classified sport as "a fundamental right for all." But the low place sport occupies in the developing world's priorities shows that its importance as an educational and social tool is not yet universal. Everyone agrees that sport contributes to economic development by creating jobs and stimulating business activity. The organization of a major sporting event, for example, is a great opportunity for the local economy. The thousands of people who attend will spend money on food, lodging, transportation and other, related tourist activities. However, in recent years, we see these economic benefits are obvious only the short term. If we take the example of South Africa in 2010, the positive impact of the World Cup was, in terms of job creation and reduced crime...

...“DON'T BUY WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK” MOVEMENT Senior Division Historical Research Paper "Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" was a movement also known as the "Buy Where You Can Work" It emerged in many major northern cities of the United States during the years of the Great Depression. It was put together in order to protest black unemployment rates that were often double or even triple the national average rates. In the year 1929, the Whip, a Chicago newspaper, under Editor Joseph Bibb, sponsored a campaign to boycott Chicago stores that refused to hire black individuals. The program was supported by the Reverend J. C. Austin of the Pilgrim Baptist Church. It resulted in the hiring of more than two thousand blacks, mostly as department stores clerks. The New Negro Alliance was formed in 1933 by three young men, writer and activist John Aubrey Davis, lawyer Belford V. Lawson, Jr., and college graduate M. Franklin Thorne. They were all outraged that white-run businesses in the middle of black neighborhoods refused to hire black workers. The Alliance instituted then-radical “Don't Buy Where You Can't Work” campaigns, organizing boycotts and pickets of white-owned businesses, or threatening to do so. In the 1930s, the campaigns sprang up in Northern urban areas and protested discriminatory hiring practices. Protesters would judge white-owned establishments that refused to hire blacks. Their main goal was to increase awareness about the community's collective economic power and...
