“Mobridge, South Dakota, founded in 1906, is a city with a rich history and an economy driven by tourism and recreation.” (City of Mobridge, South Dakota 2016) Missouri River Pins and Pizza was built in 1998 to enrich the lives of the youth in Mobridge, South Dakota. It was a bowling alley until 2005, when it burned down. Many years ago, I remember celebrating not only my birthday, but many other of my friends’ birthdays there. They had the best pizza ever. When it burned down, it left and still leaves no place for the youth to gather. Mobridge no longer attracts many families and the youth are turning to crime as their only pastime it seems nowadays. The best solution to remedy these problems is to build an activity center attached to a fitness for all ages of Mobridge and surrounding communities to gather, keep obesity rate down and mostly keep the youth out of trouble.

Bally Total Fitness is a public firm in the U.S. health club industry. Since 1962, the company had developed into a large and nationwide commercial operator of fitness centers in the Unite States.

Through this case study I will be discussing strategic management. Strategic management can be defined as a process where an organization attempts to determine what actions need to be taken to achieve the overall objectives and more importantly how to meet them (Mello, 2015, p. 114). For a company to strive and meet their goals, deadlines, and missions they must stay conscious of the strategic plan put in place for the success of the company. If the company does not have a good strategic plan the company could fail. With correct planning a company could succeed without fail. Something that needs to be taken into consideration in the strategic plan should be investing into the company’s human assets. At first it may look like it is causing the company more issues however in the long run it will strengthen the company and moral making a more successful company. This could help with customer relations, and the organization status which will help produce additional revenue for the company.

The health club industry has continued to see an increase in the amount of health clubs/fitness centers.

It has also seen an increase in membership by almost 60 percent, from 20.8 million to 32.8 million. What this all means for Fun 4 Life Fitness Center, LLC is that the market is ever growing which translates to more competition.

Some of these services includes personal trainers, facilities with state-of-the-art equipment, and programs that cater to mostly every demographic.

Now that synectics and the two main focuses of using the strategy are identified we turn to the thesis statement. “All that I need to know about strategy, I can learn from an analysis of, exercise.” When you think about exercising the main goal is to improve one’s own physical health. It is a mixture of different things that come together to lead you to your ultimate goal. You have the weights, cardio, diet, procedures, and being mindful of the process. These diverse qualities all come into play when finding the solution towards weight problems or physical health. Most of the time when someone is getting ready to embark on this journey, the problem is that they do not know where to start. When joining a gym, you are often asked what your ends

The case study Renovating Home Depot was the case of a leader who joined a successful business only to discover that the company was running out of growth opportunities and also did not have the basic systems needed for increased growth in place. Robert “Bob” Nardelli was chosen as the CEO of Home Depot based on his proven ability to reenergize slow-growth businesses.
