Project management : A step-by-step approach of YES practice

Abstract

In order to promote peoples' abilities, the Asian governments are not only doing their best to improve themselves through educational resources and environmental funding, but also by encouraging people to study abroad, to obtain global knowledge, ideals, and thoughts in order to increase their own competitive abilities. YES, founded in 1965, is an educational guide for students who want to study abroad in the USA, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Presently, YES is focusing on the Taiwanese market, which unfortunately is shrinking. The declining consumer rate for YES's services creates deleterious effects for the organization, and these need to be resolved immediately. There is a new project to implement in order to increase YES's net income from USD 8 million in FY 2009 (09/01/2008 to 08/31/2009) to USD 10.4 million in FY 2010 (09/01/2009 to 08/31/20010), a 30% increase
