Prenatal care is critical for these families. Third, there are significant needs of banking services to enable Kava citizens to create their own businesses as well, including the development of a micro-payment bank that offers low-cost or no-cost micro-payment loans so they can start their own businesses. In attracting joint venture partners in each of these service areas, Nik and his team also need to consider the underlying utilities of the island and work to make sure there is a sustainable electricity, Internet, water, and natural gas for the businesses to run reliably. Strategic Plan Is Essential Defining Phases of Development

Alex, Nik and Chris will also need to create a strategic plan to define the sequences of businesses and their specific partnership and joint venture needs as well. The ability to attract and retain educational foundations as partners to initially fund the development of a learning network that needs to include on-site services including classrooms is necessary. In addition the team's ability to attract and retain physicians, additional educators and bankers to the island nation is critical for these service businesses to succeed. Third, the need for a building suitable to be a medical clinic or small hospital, the development of a school or small college on the island, and several small banks are needed. The team needs to realize that in terms of resources, global and regional partnerships are going to be critical for the success of these services businesses. The team needs to also consider partnering with companies who are leaders in healthcare, education, and banking to see if they are interested in operating satellite offices in Kava as well. The use of joint ventures with companies in each of the targeted services industries who are interested in expanding to Kava would greatly minimize the risks as well. In addition to attracting talent and finding locations, the team will also need to determine how stable the underlying systems each of these services businesses are on the island. For example medical facilities require electricity...

The team needs to think about the contingencies specifically relative to electricity on the island as well.
Ethical Considerations

Nik and his team would be wise to set up a governance and oversight committee to include in their partnership plans and Joint Venture discussions, plans and agreements. This oversight committee would specifically focus on making sure that there was no conflict of interest between Nik's company and those government agencies or privately held companies contacted for assistance. It would be a good idea to include a member of the Kava legislative and judicial branches of government as well, so the Kava government would stay informed as to the company's developments as well. In addition to the oversight committee it's critical that Nik and his team also define approaches to managing their financial planning, partnership and joint venture programs so they are easily accessed and understandable in case the organization needs to ever pass an audit. Nonprofit organizations are increasingly audited to see how they are spending funds (Malloy, Agarwal, 2003). In addition to defining an oversight board and also creating processes to make themselves more organized from a financial reporting standpoint, Nik and his team also need to brief the public every 90 days on the activities they are involved in. Taking all these steps makes sure the organization stay transparent and puts into place safeguards from unethical activity.
