Response 1.) Business Statistics

• Cause and Effect
  • 1 John 1:9 (1 John 1 | NLT Bible | YouVersion, 2015)
    • 9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
  • Luke 19:10(Luke 19 | NLT Bible | YouVersion, 2015)
    • 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”

Cause and Effect directly relate to my planned research paper on business incubators. We plan to report on the impact of the businesses that come through the incubator. We want to focus on the integration of ethics and the development of a sustainable business venture. The verses above represent the commitment to stamp out wickedness and the importance of integrating the Christian Worldview into the businesses that develop out of the incubator.

• Data versus Wisdom
  • Proverbs 19:20 (Proverbs 19 | NLT Bible | YouVersion, 2015)
    • 20 Get all the advice and instruction you can, so you will be wise the rest of your life.
  • Daniel 2:21 (Daniel 2 | NLT Bible | YouVersion, 2015)
    • 21 He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings.

This set of verses from Proverbs and Daniel speaks to the need for mentoring and expresses another tenant of the Incubator to provide support and educational opportunities for students and faculty.

Response 2.) The mission for the Catalyst at Belhaven would be to focus on creating value for customers in the Jackson area around Belhaven University.

The Catalyst Mission:

Preparing professionals with Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Business Administration, and STEM-related field training to deliver the Right Information to the Right People at the Right Time on the Right Devices. Studying computer science and computer information systems at Belhaven will equip students with the Right Tools and the Right Experiences to be the Right Person to lead Righteously.

The chapter examines the journey of Jerry, the CIO of a multimillion-dollar technology firm. There is a need to set specific metrics such as increased revenue. The Key Performance Metrics for the Catalyst are the community impact and the number of customers and students supported by companies in the incubator. We also want to consider profit sharing and charity donations for gross sales in place of rental fees as a tax to support operations.
