The many infrastructure and culturally-based challenges that Nik, his team and Mr. Morales face illustrate how challenging new business development can be in an island nation the size and location of Kava. What is immediately apparent from the case is that there is ample opportunity to enrich the island's economy and people while also building a strong, scalable business at the same time. Today however the island nation has an infrastructure that is lacking, an economy that is for the most part agrarian, and a young inexperienced workforce lacking advanced skills and education. It's going to be very challenging for Nik and his team to build a business on Kava, making the selection of a common vision, strategic plan and objectives, and core values of the team critical for their success. The decision making tools used, and the selection of vision, mission and goals all need to be so tightly integrated that the team finds purpose and meaning in each activity and strategy while attaining the broader objectives of developing the island. Nike and his team will also need to ensure the core vision, mission and core values are all agile enough to respond to swift changes in the economic and socio-political structure of the island yet rigid and strong enough to be actionable (Pandelica, Pandelica, Dabs, 2010). The unique attributes of this type of framework are critical for excelling on Kava, known for natural disasters, extreme weather events and general unpredictability of infrastructure. To ensure the success of this venture, Nike will also need to make sure every member of the team has bought into and internalizes the mission, vision and direction of the team. And while there are many decision making frameworks and approaches he could use, Nik needs to concentrate on a participative management style to give each team member a chance to own the direction they are going in and be committed to it (Müller, Turner, 2010). By doing this, Nik will ensure a very high level of trust and transparency across team members including a high level of accountability over results as well, which will lead to greater accomplishment (Alstyne, Brynjolfsson, Madnick, 1997).
