Louisville Mojo: KAVA PART ONE: A FANTASY CONTINUED

The human resources, presently consisting of more than 50% teenagers and children, are yearning for development and adequate health care. The average age of islanders is now that of 15. Major lack of valid of age workforce is cause for Caesars to be concerned given one must be an adult to service adult needs in this industry.
The population is an Ethnic mix of indigenous South Pacific tribes, Asian (Chinese primarily), African, French, Spanish, and since World War II, a sizeable number of Americans. Several religions present are indigenous 50% with the remainder closely divided between Christian, Buddhist, and Islamic.
The islander language consisting of numerous indigenous as well as English, Spanish, and French is diverse, at least. Religious practices and ethnic origins are vast and extremely diverse.
Terrorism is present within this small island country and outside of existing boundaries of Kava causing much concern for safety of potential guests visiting and partaking of the fruits of the island paradise presently. Management of the company has concerns that these terrorist activities could escalate.
Resources available
Natural resources present within this country are abundant and of much worth to the island community and world. These resources include petroleum, coffee, cocoa, spices, bananas, sugar, and natural gas. The benefits of projected tourism, existing fishing, and inexpensive labor are considered part of the resources available.
Help is available from local, state, and national governmental agencies to assist in this endeavor proposed by Caesars. Local businesses, community based organizations, and faith based groups are supportive of the efforts of our company and are willing to help our corporation in establishing its presence on the island.
Military aid is available to combat terrorism that is present internally and externally on Kava.
Worldwide health agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) to aid in disease elimination, treatment, and education are needed to stabilize the population's health and provide affirmative action providing the company with a healthy and adequate workforce.
Organizational processes
Organizational processes of Caesars should be implemented in various stages considering the problems; establishment of our presence on Kava will be a difficult task and a lengthy commitment. Beginning the appropriate training of islanders that are able and ready to work is the first step following safety and health issues are resolved. Coordination of governmental agencies and military forces is of upmost necessity to begin any establishment of Caesars on Kava.
Human Resources
The workforce must be healthy to perform and serve a company of this size and perspective clientele. Stated on the website for the World Health Organization (2009) is the mission statement, which says, “It is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters, shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health trends,” (WHO website, 2009). Contact and implementation of these services is the first recommendation one is making for the company to provide a presence on Kava.
Forces of Influence
Forces of influence that Caesars have to contend with on Kava are the health issues, language barriers, religious mindsets, and cultural differences, safety of employees, the weather, and ethical concerns. Ethical guidelines for our company on Kava are the same as stated on the Caesars website, “We conduct our business with honesty and integrity, and act in accordance with the highest ethical and legal standards,” (Harrahs, 2009).
Safety of employees and potential guests needs to be addressed because of the terrorism that exists in and outside of Kava. The initial financial cost is of concern, but the return of efforts made and action taken will yield profits to the company and all involved within the project.
Government regulations have been sketchy to date. The governmental regulations need to be provided to the company before any commitment is promulgated.
Recommendations
The main ethical question to be addressed by Caesars is, “How will the presence of our company on Kava impact the existing community?” Caesars wishes to provide a positive motivational influence for the peoples on Kava. Health care concerns need resolution and action taken. Education needs to be provided to break down barriers in communication. Governmental agencies and military intervention are both needed for Caesars to make a paradise of paradise. Government and military intervention are needed to end terrorist activity in and surrounding Kava.
Educational facilities need to be made available for language education on the island. Agreement about what language will be the main staple of the island must be decided upon. English is the primary language used by the company, and this is the preferred choice of Caesars.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are many barriers for Caesars to hurdle to provide a presence on Kava. Some obstacles can be remedied and some cannot. Knowing the difference between the pros and cons is helpful in making a commitment to do business on Kava, but the bottom line is Caesars wants to establish a profitable business on the island and give residents inherent to the island opportunity. The main problem is establishment of a healthy workforce is needed. All problems of the island have an effect on this project and to be successful the task Caesars has taken on is for the long haul.
