...Tony Tan Caktiong is the founder, CEO and Chairman of the 2nd largest fast-food chain in the Philippines (next to McDonald's), Jollibee. He is the recipient of the 2004 Entrepreneur of the Year, Philippines and Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year, World. In 2010, Forbes listed Tan Cakationg as the sixth richest Filipino with a net worth of USD 980 million. Tony Tan Caktiong’s Jollibee has been one of the most admired, most copied, most innovative and most professionally-run company here in the Philippines. Tony Tan Caktiong’s Life and his Jollibee Company is another rags to riches story of an entrepreneur that truly inspires me a lot. He was the third of seven siblings born to poor parents who migrated from the Fujian province in China to look for a better life here in the Philippines. Grace Ang Tan Caktiong said, "We had to do everything by ourselves in the beginning! Pati janitorial services--I even cleaned the toilet." This is the manifestation that everyone starts from scratch and experienced ups and downs before they become successful. Grace and Tony Tan Caktiong put up an ice cream parlor two months after graduating from college. That ice cream parlor eventually offered sandwiches to patrons until the couple decided on adding the store's popular Yum burger and Chicken Joy to the menu. When customers began to ask for more than just ice cream, the two decided to add sandwiches to their menu. Eventually, they found out that more people were ordering hamburgers more than...

...The values that distinguished countries from each other could be grouped statistically into four clusters. These four groups became the Hofstede dimensions of national culture: • Power Distance (PDI) • Individualism versus Collectivism (IDV) • Masculinity versus Femininity (MAS) • Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI) A fifth Dimension was added in 1991 based on research by Michael Bond who conducted an additional international study among students with a survey instrument that was developed together with Chinese employees and managers. That Dimension, based on Confucian dynamism, is Long-Term Orientation (LTO) and was applied to 23 countries. In 2010, research by Michael Minkov allowed to extend the number of country scores for this dimension to 93, using recent World Values Survey data from representative samples of national populations. What about Vietnam? If we explore the Vietnamese culture through the lens of the 5-D Model, we can get a good overview of the deep drivers of Vietnamese culture relative to other world cultures. Power distance This dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal – it expresses the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally. Vietnam scores high on this dimension (score of 70) which means that people...

...I. Title of the Case Enchanted Kingdom: The Magic Lives On and On II. Executive Summary of the Case Enchanted Kingdom (EK) is the pioneer theme park in the country, boasting seven fantastic theme zones, and imported rides and attractions. Ideally, new rides and attractions should be added annually to maintain the charm and sustain the viability of the theme park. However, due precarious economic conditions prevailing in late 1997 onward, the company deferred its expansion plans. It has been almost four years since it last introduced a new major ride or attraction for the theme park. Against the Asian currency crisis backdrop, management must identify strategies to eliminate seasonal demands and boost its guest attendance and profitability. III. Background of the Case Enchanted Kingdom opened to the public on October 19. 1995. It was and still is the Philippines' first world class fixed and themed amusement attraction on a scale never before seen in the country. It had 16 rides and attractions most of which were unique to the Philippines during its introduction while the rest were in size and capacities that had never experienced in the country before. Locating these rides and attractions within seven meticulously themed zones interspersed with food and merchandise outlets and kiosks as well as various game stands also added to the “experience” in a totally “enchanting” environment, away from the day-to-day realities of life. In 1996, answering the...

...INTRODUCTION WELCOME TO THIS CASE STUDY PROGRAMME! The Jollibee case study should be appealing to many candidates given the familiar nature of the product. Although very little is known about the brand, given the recent ‘silent’ entry into the Singapore market without much fanfare, we all know should be familiar with how the fast food industry operates. The case certainly has all the “ingredients” of a strategic management case study although at the first reading of the case, with a clear focus on international expansion strategies. The good news is that we are given very clear information regarding the strategic directions of the company. We will discuss this later in another section. The case deals with that aspect of strategic management known as services. It also has information on market analysis, competition and positioning. The problem I feel with the case study is that there are no immediate problems to resolve, in that Jollibee seems to have been performing well and their international expansion strategies seem to be on track to grow the business further. This I feel is the crux of the whole case study. To this end, the Jollibee case study needs to be addressed from only ONE perspective - SUSTAINABILITY in the light of increasing competition and changing market demographics. Areas of focus in the case It is imperative that when we approach this case, we MUST adopt a strategic perspective and NOT be concerned about the operational issues. Fortunately, the case seems to...

Jardinico BS Mechanical Engineering Student: 2011-15731 Submitted to the Department of Mechanical Engineering College of Engineering University of the Philippines In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of ME 188 Power Plant Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering College of Engineering University of the Philippines Diliman Quezon City December 2015 ii Abstract The study is aimed (1) to quantify the demand for fuel requirements and powerplant capacity in the province of Iloilo for the next 30 years, and (2) prioritize the energy sources, conversion technologies and powerplant sites available in the province. Electricity consumption from the five sectors (residential, commercial, transportation, industrial, and agricultural) were calculated using different models and assumptions. These values were projected to the year 2045 in order to predict the total electricity demand on the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly bases. There is an average of 262.28 MW demand from the computed consumptions which was translated to fuel requirements considering the existing, upcoming, decommissioning, and the reserve. A total of 284.77 MW plant capacity was calculated for 2045. Assuming that bituminous coal will be used as the main fuel for running a Coal-fired powerplant in the future, a fuel requirement of 12.25...
