Of the many types of forecasts that would need to be created to deliver accurate location analysis and expansion plans, the most critical of all are geo-economic analysis of potentially high growth areas that would not cannibalize the sales of existing Burger Queen restaurants. Location-based and impact assessment programs would need to be created for each of the specific locations being considered to ensure other restaurants' sales and the potential business of other franchisees is not negatively impacted by the decision to expand (Leung, 2003). Location and impact assessments would need to take into account the composition of the target market in the immediate radius of the potential sites by socio-economic, demographic, psychographic and existing brand loyalties as well. All of these analyses could be completed using data dining and advanced analytics processes and procedures to ensure orthogonality of each location relative to another and consistency of selection criteria being used (Prewitt, 2007). With econometric and customer segmentation data, both simple and gravitational methods for trade area analysis next need to be completed. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to integrate together data sets of population size, demographic composition, per capita incomes, discretionary income and an assessment of local competition . the manager for Burger Queen could have an excellent idea of where each store location needs to be based. Using GIS data to further differentiate by open retail locations could also give the manager greater insight into how best to geographically position the potential Burger Queen locations for greatest competitive advantage against the competition as well (Prewitt, 2007). In addition to accomplishing these tasks from an analytics standpoint, the GIS system could also tell the manager were competitors are the strongest, meaning they are areas that are unassailable in terms of market development (Leung, 2003). For example of there is a specific area of the city or region that is highly loyal to Subway or McDonald's, the GIS systems could quickly show that data, indicating high concentrations of very brand-loyal customers. This would make launching a store in any of these locations extremely difficult.

Thesis Statement Cultural forces in subcultures such as African American dance forms have shaped major American dance forms such as modern and jazz dancing. In the opinion of the author, modern American dance relies heavily upon elements that were "confiscated" (taken) from non-European dance and then fused with European forms to make distinctly American dance forms. Modern and Jazz Dance Conserving Culure Modern/contemporary dance helped to conserve the cultural values, traditions and heritage of Caribbean and African dance forms and other forms as well Modern and jazz dance are intricate and involve techniques gained only through many years of training. In modern or contemporary dance, movement is free and constantly creating and defining new steps. Such movement is based upon the use of gravity, breathing, momentum and abstract theory to create steps. A major component of the art of modern dance is the perfection of the flexible use of gravity and balance. Such factors in combination with the natural momentum of falling or turning bodies and responding to gravity generated movement mixed well with African or Caribbean styles.
