Case Study: A Small Business Mindset
Andy’s Parties
Andy Ross completed his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at prestigious schools which led him to high profile positions in well-known firms, but after a few years his discontent grew. Although the pay was good and the benefits among the best offered, Andy felt something was missing. Newly married and in a nice home that put them at the edge of their financial capabilities, Andy’s desire to own his own business was all consuming. It was difficult to describe to his wife exactly why this was so important, yet it compelled him to search for a business concept that he and his wife could start and operate together. Then, when invited to a friend’s birthday party for their young child, it came to him; A themed birthday party business. Here is how they planned to advertise their business:
We do it all…from set-up to clean-up! Andy’s Parties offers full-service, themed children’s parties and enrichment classes. Our great theme parties include everything for a great party:
Andy’s Parties offers approximately 30 theme parties, the most popular of which include Girlie Spa, Rockin’ Dance, Princess, Pirate/Treasure Hunt, Murder Mystery and Safari. Andy’s Parties’ packages are all inclusive and we subcontract non-core services such as bounce house rentals, professional entertainers (magicians, balloon-twisters, etc), and high-end adult catering.
Reasons to have an Andy’s Party:
Andy and his wife launched their business in 2004 by leasing a small space in a local retail center where they could offer daytime classes, host themed birthday parties for parents that didn’t want them in their home, and as a base for operations. They hired high school students to run the parties and provided them with extensive training. Over the past several years the business has flourished with over 1,000 parties a year with average revenues of $400 per party.

Purpose:
An entrepreneur is someone who thinks and does something that they have not done previously.Entrepreneurship is about having a mindset that focuses on assessing a situation, designing alternatives and selecting a new way of doing something.
This assignment provides students an opportunity to look at a business situation and use an entrepreneurial mindset to answer questions about a case study presented in week 2.
This assignment has two parts.
In part 1, students will be provided a scenario that highlights several critical issues related to a corporate mindset versus that of a small business.
In part 2, students will read an article and provide a synopsis of the article as it relates to a learning organization.
Outcomes Met:
Instructions:
Step 1: Review “How to Analyze a Case Study†under Week 2 Content.
Step 2: Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The final product will be between 4-6 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page.
Step 3: Review the grading rubric for the assignment.
Step 4: Follow this format:
Step 5: In writing a case study, the writing is in the third person. What this means is that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us†(first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your†(second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person
Step 6: In writing this assignment, students are asked to support the reasoning using in-text citations and a reference list. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. View the sample APA paper under Week 1 content.
Step 7: In writing this type of assignment, students are expected to paraphrase and not use direct quotes. Learn to paraphrase by reviewing this link: https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html.
Step 8: Read critically and analyze the scenario provided under Week 2 Content.
Step 9: Document key facts from the scenario. Consider making an outline to capture key points in the paper.
Step 10: Part 1:Answer the following questions after reading the case study:
a.)Using at least two references explain why an individual would choose to leave a good career to start a small business with no prior experience, no existing model to follow and without significant capital?
b.)Discuss at least three reasons why Andy’s Parties achieved success so quickly and has been able to sustain the business over the past 8 years when statistically most small businesses fail within the first few years?
c.)Discuss what Andy and his wife’s plans might be for their business going forward?

View this website to learn how to write an introductory paragraph: http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/faculty/donelan/intro.html
Step 13: Write a summary paragraph. A summary paragraph restates the main idea(s) of the essay. Make sure to leave a reader with a sense that the essay is complete. The summary paragraph is the last paragraph of a paper.
Step 14: Using the grading rubric as a comparison, read through the paper to ensure all required elements are presented.This step is probably the most critical and can result in many lost points if instructions are not followed.

Child abuse and maltreatment is not limited to a particular age and can occur in the infant, toddler, preschool, and school-age years. Choose one of the four age groups (infant, toddler, preschool, or school age) and discuss the types of abuse that are most often seen in this age. Discuss warning signs and physical and emotional assessment findings the nurse may see that could indicate child abuse. Discuss cultural variations of health practices that can be misidentified as child abuse. Describe the reporting mechanism in your state and nurse responsibilities related to the reporting of suspected child abuse.
The most common age groups for abuse are infant, toddler, and preschool because they do not either know that it is wrong or can’t speak for themselves. Preschoolers show signs of child abuse with unexplained bruises and injuries, frequent signs of poor hygiene, nightmares and sleep disturbances, frequent bed wetting, behavior issues with aggression to adults, and withdrawal from peers. Nurses and all healthcare workers should educate themselves on the signs because of the consequences on the child both short-term and long-term. Nurses and healthcare workers are on the frontlines and stand to protect the children from harm. If abuse is suspected the nurse and other healthcare workers are mandated to report. Report and continue to report until something is done. The nurse can go to supervisor and work up the line of contacts. Contact local child protective services and local police department. There are also child abuse hotlines both national and locally. (CCPFS, 2016). It is important to also be educated on different culture practices. Some different cultures have certain practices that fit their beliefs but could present as bruises. Russian, Asian, and Mexican cultures practice “Cuppingâ€. A heated cup is applied to skin it creates a suction and is meant treat illness in their cultures. The suction could be mistaken to some as bruises from abuse. (Harris, 2016).
