capstoneprojectintro.docxProject Overview
For your Business Capstone Project you will examine and present solutions to a problem that's occurring in today's business world. The project will focus on a key business problem/issue, to be researched and analyzed by you with a recommended solution(s) presented.
You will play the role of a consultant hired by a fictitious company, MovieFlix, a company that provides subscription service for on-demand Internet streaming media in the U.S. MovieFlix also provides flat rate DVD-by-mail, where DVDs are sent via postal mail to customers.
MovieFlix is experiencing several issues that are not uncommon to the business industry. They have hired your consulting firm, Rasmussen Consulting, to analyze and help them solve one of their problems. Rasmussen has assigned the case to you and you will serve as the consultant on this project.
You use these weekly assignments to assist you in preparing your final deliverable, which is a proposed solution and plan.
THE ISSUE THAT I STARTED THE PROJECT ON IS THE FOLLOWING:
· Shortage of talented employees due to people finding employment overseas.
