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 >>Heidi >>[log in to unmask]
