In this paper, I am going to talk a brief history overview of Dr. Louis Michael the physician as strategic manager case study, and then I will discuss the stakeholders. I will provide the primary problems and other key issues that attribute to primary problems. After, I will provide the alternative solutions of key issues and specify the steps for implementing a plan of action.

He needs to start offer some discount to his patients, getting more technology as other physician to service more patients, charging same amount as other physicians. He needs to use mindtools action plan by identify tasks, analyze and delegate tasks and double -check with SCHEMES (Actiona Plan Small-Scale Planning). First, he needs to put all tasks that he needs to complete together. Second, he needs to analyze and delegate tasks by putting all information he is going to use together and how he is going to use it. Last double check if he is plan is comprehensive by using SHEMES, which
