...Case Background Henry Sy and John Gokongwei were both born very poor. This situation, one may conclude, served as a blessing for the two most celebrated entrepreneurs in the Philippines on their journey to wealth. Shoeless and with only clothes on his back, Henry Sy started his entrepreneurial career by tending at his father’s sari-sari store in Cebu. But Henry dreamed of something big for his future. He dreamed of having his own business to provide him enough money. In 1945, he put up a small shoe store in Carriedo, Quiapo. From then on, that humble shoe store became Shoemart (commonly known as “SM”). Since there was a constant pouring of capital back into this venture, he then expanded into textiles and household goods and was then opening outlets to selected parts of the country, centering at the Metropolis. On the other hand, John Go (“kongwei” meaning “bright” was suffixed later to his name later) started his road to success by hawking wares in Cebu. This led to his dream of building his own retailing kingdom. He first started by trading and manufacturing corn starch in 1955 and has soon expanded into supplying groceries and animal foodstuffs in bulk. Later, he ventured also in textiles, banking and real estate, hotels and shopping complex developments. The abrupt expansion of the enterprises of the two business tycoons marked the start of a period of transition for the business empire built over the past three decades by...

Soriano Corporation (ANSCOR)Group of Companies, under the leadership of Andres Soriano, Jr. addressed a long felt need for an effective formal planning system for the two companies. According to Soriano, the companies had developed their budgeting and long-ranged planning systems several years earlier but, despite the many advantages these gave them they still were not satisfied with their ability to respond to the rapid changes in the environment around them. Therefore, they search for a process that would enable them to upgrade their planning capability.

...Mao ni sa atong grupo.. SHORT CASE STUDY: ORGANIZING THE POWER COMPANY “I do not believe in organization charts or position descriptions of any kind in this company,” declared Johnny Ramos, president and founder of the Power Company, manufacturer of men’s ready-to-wear (RTW) suits and jackets. “We are a successful and fast-rising company where I want all managers and labor to work as a team. Organization charts and descriptions make people believe they own position on a chart and want to keep it. We grew from a small company with P100,000 annual sales to a P5million enterprise because we pooled our resources, coming up with competitive products at low costs. We are not San Miguel Corporation with its complex organization charts.” Mr. Silang, the company comptroller, strongly defended the president, emphasizing that teamwork, not organization charts, is the key to success. Linda Ignacio, head of manufacturing, believed otherwise and declared the president’s view “absurd and unprogressive.” Ms. Ignacio said, “I could not run my department without organization charts and position descriptions.

...Communications Plan Traditionally, beer is known as a critical part of Germany’s culture and directly translates to their industry practices and market behavior. According to Carroll, Preisendoefer, Swaminathan, and Wiedenmayer (1993), Germany is most notable for the highly fragmented structure of its industry, which contains many more breweries than the larger American industry. However, product concentration has not risen as expected for the market in Germany, which can be attributed to many factors including strong consumer preferences, high transportation costs, and governmental prohibitions specifically define acceptable ingredients used in German beer (Adams, 2006). Germany can increase its market share on a national level by careful and strategic expansion into other beer markets that currently have high demand for beer and less production barriers that counteract cost advantages of large-scale brewing. The most common type of product packaging used in Germany is bottling, which accounts for 60% of beer containment. Of the remaining 40% cans and kegs each makes up 20%. Canning has accelerated production capacity. Canning lines can fill 2,000 containers per minutes versus bottle lines that fill 1,100 containers per minute (Adams, 2006). The bottles used by German brewers are reusable, which adds to the high-cost of production. Expanding into new markets that support an efficient packaging mix, such as the use of canning lines will motivate German brewers to build larger...

...CHAPTER I BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Introduction Alcohol is the drug of choice among youth. Many young people are experiencing the consequences of drinking too much, at too early age as a result, at too early age as a result, underage drinking is a leading public health problem in this country. As children move from adolescent to young adulthood, they lifestyle changes, development transition, such as puberty and increasing independent, have been associated with alcohol use. So in a sense, just being an adolescent maybe a key risk factor not only for starting to drink but for drinking dangerously. Drinking at an early age has been associated with later alcoholism and drinking problems in several countries. This has led some people to believe that delaying the age at which young people first drink alcohol might reduce the later incidence of alcohol abuse and alcoholism.
