Summary:
In this report we had reviewed the major components of opening a new enterprise represented in a UAE version for the well-reputed international Golds Gym. Though there are many names under the same name in the UAE but they were working without proper licensing from the original GG based in the USA. Herewith we as a group had introduced the Gym; its foundation, history and operations and then contributed to making the same idea live in the UAE. Yet such a thing had many advantages and disadvantages and required making a proper SWOT analysis that contributes to reality in terms of customers, market, economy, competitors and other factors where we determined where we can have strengths and opportunities and where we would face weakness and threats. The second part was mainly about setting the goals, objectives and the outcomes where in this part each partner had shaped the goals and the objectives and outcomes that better fit according to her where in general all are coming in favor of the business where we can see that there is no conflict in objectives and goals and at the same time there is contradiction in ideas where they all lead to placing an impact for the customer and for providing the best service in integrated packages and coming along with proper management and functioning for all the tasks assigned to each partner. In this concern, each member in the group had placed a completed set including goals, actions and outcomes where they come in an integrated way that straightly connects to the operations of the project. The mission and the vision of the project are mainly linked to the people wellness and becoming leaders in the market. However we are facing many

difficulties in accomplishing the project since the competitors in the market are so many and our key success is that we are a franchise for a well reputed gym on global level among which Golds Gym had become a benchmark in the gym business worldwide. Considering the goals and objectives; they all came in sets where each partner had place the visions of her embodied to match the mission and vision of the business where goals and targets are set according to nature of tasks. The set goals are mainly related to four major tasks. The first one is operations where we are working on becoming leaders in the market and provide innovative concept about gyms. The second is related to the integrated services that comes in parallel with the business where we are offering services only to ladies and part of becoming fit involves nutrition system where we are working on providing our customers an integrated service that enables them to achieve the desired results they are looking for and at the end their success represents our success because the satisfied customer brings others. The third goal is achieving profits where it is linked to the first and second goals where our success in operations will be reflected as success in our profits. The fourth goal represents hiring qualified people where we need experts in the field that can help our customers in becoming fit and at the same time to achieve our mission and vision where the role of staff in our business is very important. We can see that our goals are all integrated and they are all leading to the same results since they are all related together where they form a chain where if anyone breaks then this will affect the whole business and for that purpose we all unite and work hard to make sure that we excel in all the goals

set and achieving success will mainly represent that our business is successful.
