Introduction

Nik Incorporated's mission statement is “to cultivate a favorable business, economic, governmental and social climate within the employees, community and partners in order for the residents to have the opportunity to enjoy the highest possible quality of life”.

As previously renowned and established, Kava is a gorgeous island in need of assistance but with possible. In order to make the plan an achievement, time must be devoted in the thought procedure. One of the initial tasks that must be achieved is finding an appropriate place to build triumphant business; a place that will make this venture successful, beneficial and prosperous.

The main problem that seems to surface is the lack of organizational skills. There appears to be no sketch in position to clean up and renew Kava. How can Nik Incorporated make a greater presence on Kava, help the island and maintain profit?

Scientific thinking requires that personal beliefs and emotions be kept out of the thinking process. Scientific thinking involves collecting data using facts and research to either disprove or prove the theory.
