Summary In 1979 a small shop selling transistor radios where opened by Mr. Andy Mallari. It carried a wide variety of assortment parts used in the assembly of electronic appliances. With his achievement, the owner is thinking to duplicate his strategy and spread his business in major cities of Cabanatuan.
There came a time that Mr. Mallari’s perspective changed drastically because of the huge desire on duplicating his former classmate Mr. Chan who owns a well-establish appliance assembly plant in Manila. His plans for his children are to send them to an engineering school for them to help him establish his own assembly plant.
Background Business expansion is the dream of every entrepreneur. Mr. Mallari wants to expand his operations in other big towns of San Jose, Gapan and Guimba. Mr. Mallari’s perspective changed from extending his operation in other big towns of Cabanatuan rather to establish an appliance assembly plant. He believes that his sons will help him by pursuing an engineering course and he presumed that his sons would take it without their acknowledgement. Mr. Mallari’s lack of ability, knowledge and skills in sustaining a huge appliance assembly plant would be impossible for him to be a subcontractor in an electronic manufacturing plant. Also he would have to consult his son if they are willing enough to take an engineering course.
Mr. Mallari should keep in mind that he will be competing with a well-established assembly plant that his classmate back in college owns.
