The goal of this project was to present a best-fit scenario for a craft brewery in northwest British Columbia (BC) and evaluate its potential profitability. A business plan template was used to evaluate the factors that may impact the potential success of such a venture. The research for this project collected information from a number of sources. Sales and production data was gathered from the provincially regulated Liquor Distribution Branch. Fixed asset equipment costs were gathered from leading industry suppliers and financial data on breweries operating in British Columbia was gathered from Industry Canada's Small and Medium Enterprise Benchmarking tool. Interviews with industry experts were also conducted to gain insight and validate this report with real life experiences. This project determined that it is possible for a small craft brewery to be profitable in northern BC. This is based on the tax returns of the majority of breweries operating in the province which were calibrated to market conditions in northwestern BC, forecasted revenues and known fixed asset investment costs. The outcomes of this project reveal that the market for craft beer in northern BC is small and is overshadowed by markets in southern BC and Vancouver Island where the majority of craft beer is made and sold. The northern portion of the province has only one mature brewery, which leaves room for new firms to enter the industry. While this may seem attractive, regulatory policies of the provincial government combined with high capital investment and significant brewing know-how are key barriers for starting a craft brewery. This may be partially attributable to why at least a third of all breweries in BC are not profitable. Overcoming these challenges is possible, but it is crucial that sufficient financial planning is undertaken. Investigation conducted as part of this project revealed that the majority of breweries in the province have financed their operations through significant levels of debt and posses negative equity ; The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b1947303

ABSTRACTThis paper proposes and empirically validates a stages of growth model for the evolution of Information Systems Planning (ISP). A questionnaire survey of senior IS executives is used to gather information pertaining to the stages of growth model, which includes measurement of the nature and level of integration between business planning (BP) and ISP. The del test is used to validate empirically benchmark variables for each stage of BP‐ISP integration. The results support the stages of growth model of BP‐ISP integration and the benchmark variables are generally found to be successful in predicting the stage of integration.

"The world is increasingly turbulent and complex, awash with disruptions, tipping points and knock-on effects exemplified by the implosion of financial markets and economies around the globe." "This book is for business and organizational leaders who want and need to think through how best to deal with increasing turbulence, and with the complexity and uncertainty that come with it. The authors explain in clear language how future orientation and, specifically, modern scenario techniques help to address these conditions. They draw on examples from a wide variety of international settings and circumstances including large corporations, inter-governmental organizations, small firms and municipalities. Readers will be inspired to try out scenario approaches themselves to better address the turbulence that affects them and others with whom they work, live and do business."--Jacket.
