Executive Summary

The most important managerial decision facing my corporation is how to remain competitive in the real estate market. In order to remain competitive, we must increase profits by evaluating most aspects of our business.

Azteca Partners, Inc. was created to facilitate the purchasing, repairing, and selling of distressed properties. During the last year, most projects have been over-budget and over-schedule. This project will addresses or reduce critical aspects of the real estate business.

First, Azteca Partners must decide whether to expand into the neighboring county. It is a decision we have discussed but not analyzed. The project will be used to analysis data from the current county and the proposed county. After all data is obtained, we will be able to make a sound business decision.

Secondly, the issue of over-run projects will be analyzed using MS Project 2007. Each task will be schedule and an estimated date of less than 60 days will be the goal of each repair project. The tasks will be scheduled in a systematic approach that will reduce delays or slack time.

Lastly, Azteca Partners will implement new strategies aimed at improving the overall business health of the corporation. We will address each of the four perspectives of the Balance Scorecard.
