Acknowledgement
First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge and extend my heartfelt gratitude to our supervisor Mr. G.V. Nathan who have made the fully completion of this assignment of applied strategic management and giving us vital encouragement and support. He guided us through every step very clearly by providing templates to us in order to ensure our works are high quality. Furthermore, he let us some free spaces to add on our own creativeness in the project. This may lead to our works to be more attractive. Last but not least, I really appreciated to Mr. G.V. Nathan who always provides the constant reminders and much needed motivation during these times.
