Imagine that recently took over your friend's small retail business and you now have to do the following:

•Rename the store

•Create new hours of operations

•Hire two (2) new part-time employees and two (2) new full-time employees

•Address a new plan for building your clients and merchandise, and

•Address the issues of the remaining employees from the acquired business, who are disgruntled because you are relocating the store to the center of the town where you live.

Develop, manage, and operate a new new retail business.
