Abstract
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) of Maricopa County, Arizona, has determined that it needs to further the economic and social welfare of the community. The community has further determined that these needs might be most efficiently met by a profitable business that garners revenues to the community and income to the employees, furthers the community members' skills, and provides employment. The community presently has several entities that perform construction work on the reservation. Because of these successful operations, the SRPMIC believes that it can enter the market of supplying construction services to clients off the reservation. Determining the opportunities and threats in the marketplace, this study analyzes the potential for success of the community performing construction work off the reservation and outlines a strategic plan that describes the steps for implementing a business enterprise.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
