Maybe it's just me, but this sounds like an exam question I had in grad
school...

>>
>>Here is a hypothetical situation:
>>You are hired to open a new museum in an old vacant bank builing.  You
>>need to develop a three year plan for the museum to present to the  board
>>of directors.  In the first year, your budget is $80,000 from which you
>>take $20,000 for your salary.  My question:
>>Who else would be wise to hire to help get the museum up and running?  I
>>think maybe a collections manager.
>>Where might a new museum obtain collections especially considering the
>>low budget?  I think it would be wise to advertise the opening of the
>>museum in the newspaper and hope people would bring thier old things to
>>it to donate or obtain a loan as the first exhibit.
>>What percentage of the budget might be used for such functions as
>>maintenance and operation?  I have no idea how much it might cost to
>>renevate a building or what electric might cost.
>>If anyone can offer any suggestions and maybe a little direction, please
>>help.
>>Thanks
