Decision in Paradise Case Study

Decisions in Paradise, Part 2

Fairfield Resorts is the most owned time-share in the world. To accommodate their customer ever-changing needs, Fairfield began selling various customized time-shares based on a points-based program designed to add flexibility to the owner's choices of vacation destinations (Time-Share Resource Center, 2008).

The company's mission is to provide customers with excellent service and hospitality that goes beyond their expectations and imaginations. Maximizing state of the art technology, and maintaining good corporate citizenship.

Several areas of concerns identified as primary focus for our mission in Kava. The specific plan is to restore economic viability by marketing the island as one of the most attractive tourist destination in the world, attracting tourism foreign investments and human resources, restoring corporate and social responsibility exemplified through an effective and highly efficient organizational structure of business that fosters a consistent business culture to the government and community.

Establishing a greater presence in Kava will be a challenge because of the loss and damage the people have suffered. Investigation reveals that there are several factors at play as the primary cause of the problems in kava, this included Disaster Preparedness and Contingency plan, telecommunication service, education and awareness of AIDS and epidemic outbreak of Avian Flu.

The effectiveness of a disaster preparedness plan solely rests on the implemented, education and equipment. One of the biggest concerns is that they are no concrete plans of evacuation for people and property. The culture of Kava lends itself to seeking higher grounds in the event of a volcanic eruption, flood, tidal waves, and tsunami. In the event of a hurricane or typhoons people were a custom to the drill of boarding windows, unplugging electrical equipment, and moving collections away from the windows and off the floors. These plans were simply and useless because it did not entail a catastrophic disaster that would displace people, property and natural resource (Masslen, 2007).

The causes of problems of Kava were vast which gave rise to water contamination, which limited that island resources of fresh drinking water. The epidemic of the avian flu crippled the health sector to skeleton staffing and the AIDS virus was slowly wiping out the future of the generation of the people.

Both analytical and creative thinking used to frame the alternative to the problems of Kava. Analytical thinking is often associated with directing thinking, i.e. solving problems, seeking the truth and developing understanding, with the focus on a desired outcome (Anglia Ruskin University, 2008). Creative thinking embraces the ability to generate new ideas by combining, changing, or reapplying existing ideas (Harris, 1998).

Analytical thinking used as a guide to foster communication and social responsibility implementation with the government and the community through a systematic process of disaster preparedness and the contingency plans that would help to foster effectiveness and efficiency in Kava. The creative technique involved the thought process of generating new ideas and brainstorming the complex situation in Kava and the current issues drawing the further concerns.

The evolution process of establishing a vacation destination is to grow with the economy has it rebuilds. Because Fairfield is one of the largest sellers of time-share a major marketing of the Kava Island would prove assurance to other investors to join in the growth with a marketing strategy of the island beauty and geographical location as an experience to adventure and relaxation. With the technique of creative thinking, foster the ideology that every problem solved proves true that economics drives everything.

The second process allows combining two existing ideas into third idea, formulating a new idea called synthesis (Harris, 1998). The island has suffered from major flooding that has damaged roads. As a corporate citizenship Fairfield proposed provide government funding in for the repairs roads. This allows easy movement of goods and service, providing access to all parts of the island for our customers and for prospective cruise line.

Third process of revolutionizing forces a completely different and new idea (Harris, 1998). Kava is a unique island filled with possibilities; a possible proposition is to join in a business venture with two other leading time-share holders, with a shared destination for its customers to vacation.
