...1. Executive Summary NextGen Fitness will serve North Philadelphia area school age children, helping them to become more productive, while lowering their overall health risk with innovative wellness programs and strategies. Our business is based on two simple facts: 1. Healthy school age children are more productive than chronically ill and overweight children. 2. It costs less to prevent injuries or illnesses than to treat them after they occur. At NextGen Fitness, we tie learning ability and productivity directly to the health care issue. We believe that traditional approaches to the current fitness and health care crisis are misdirected or nonexistent in most urban neighborhoods. These traditional efforts are what we call reactive--that is, they minimally address fitness levels then when illness or injury occurs, public assistance and basic health aide is provided as both solution and treatment. Our approach, which emphasizes prevention and good health promotion, is much more proactive. By helping school age youth change their behavior patterns and choose more healthy and active lifestyles, NextGen will lower parent’s health care expenditures and subsidies provided by healthcare organizations, while raising academic productivity. Health care expenditures will decrease due to reduced medical insurance premiums, reduced risk of obesity, reduced physical injuries and removal from prescription drugs that currently address these issues. 2. Situational Analysis ...

...>cases NCRCC: Teeing Up a New Strategic Direction >Abstract NCR Country Club started out as a benefit for thousands of National Cash Register employees. By the late 1990s, those employees were aging rapidly and the core membership needed to be increased. NCRCC offers two golf courses. One is an award winning, championshiphosting course on the PGA tour. But it wasn’t attracting new members, especially younger families. This case is about a membership study done as part of a larger management initiative to evaluate several strategic directions the club might take to expand its membership. www.ncrcountryclub.com >The Scenario Used with permission of Pamela S. Schindler ©2001. NCR Country Club (NCRCC) started in 1954 as an employee benefit of the National Cash Register Co. but is now an open-membership club. This country club located in Kettering, Ohio (near Dayton), hosts two 18-hole golf courses. The NCR South course, a par 71 championship course of 6,824 yards of heavily wooded rolling countryside, the site of the 1996 PGA Championship, the 1986 U.S. Open, and the 1998 U.S. Mid-Amateur, is consistently ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top 100 courses in the United States. The prairie-links style of the North course, a 6,358-yard par 70 course, is considered challenging. In southwestern Ohio, the active golf season usually lasts from May through October. Within a 30-minute radius of NCRCC, the avid golfer will find eight other private golf and country...
