Case: Downtown Kingston Transport Centre/ Project management The downtown Kingston and Saint Andrew Centre were built for $400 million JAD in 2010 (Reid, 2012).

Homework #3- MGT 436 North Shore Sushi (NSS) is a fictional sushi restaurant located in Marquette Michigan. The owner is considering outsourcing two activities they currently do themselves: (1) winter snow removal and (2) management of their social media accounts (currently just Facebook and Twitter). Since they opened ten years ago, the owner of NSS has plowed the parking lot for the restaurant during the winter months. However, recently the engine on the truck used for plowing self-destructed. While the plow could be removed and put on a different truck, they would need to purchased another truck. Since the truck is used only for winter plowing, the owner would likely buy something used.

The second decision concerns their social media management. Currently, the owner of NSS manages…
