Best of all, any initiative in these areas, priced fairly for the island natives, delivers significant social value, or economic good for the nation and abodes by Mr. Morale's belief that in the long run, economics drives everything needs to be added to that by doing these core processes well, his company is doing good. The social conscience of Mr. Morales is also clear, and the ability to take the company's respected process-centric approach to problem-solving and apply it to the needs of Kava while at the same time earning a profit is a win/win for both the company and the nation. The concentration on healthcare especially and the development of a pediatrics clinic, potentially even underwritten by the local government for the citizens would also be significant in its contribution and revenue potential.
What Alex and Nik need to do is find broken processes in key areas and set about to find strategies that their company can excel in while delivering excellent service. This is the basis of Business Process Re-engineering. Business Process Re-engineering is described Michael Hammer in his many books on this topic including the Agenda (2003) illustrate through examples, financial analysis, and intensive analysis of how companies can improve their financial performance through examining their many processes and re-defining them for greater competitive performance. The bottom line is that Nik and Alex need to find the vision that will propel the company into the greatest social contribution, and in fulfilling that goal, gain profitability and a permanent place in the economy of Kava.

Working as a television sales presentations for a local television station is hectic, marked by time and financial pressure to make projects happen at or before deadlines. As the main service I am selling is air time, visibility on a television station, the majority of the time the problem identification ands formulation style focused on a combination of discerning and integrative approaches to problem identification and resolution. As time is of the essence in television advertising, the majority of decisions are made through integrative approaches.
The strengths and weaknesses of this leadership style are that it readily translates knowledge between and among different experiences with clients quickly. This leadership style also is useful for distilling large bodies of information into new frameworks by which advertising clients can be managed more effectively. The weaknesses of this approach are its high level of knowledge required on a per client to be effective with the strategy, and the need to communicate details quickly and accurately as it relates to a potential problem with a client and their specific media.
In terms of the most favorable aspects of this style, it is useful for quickly organizing clients into segments and defining a strategy for working with them. It is also very useful from the context of pricing analysis and the development of programs to increase sales during slower times. Ultimately this approach is very useful for staying on top of the current market and competitive dynamics that influence clients and their spending.
