Rushing the process may cause lack of dedication to the company and in this way it allows there to be a higher risk of the company losing its popularity in Puerto Rico. In my opinion I think Antonio should explain his family how important it is for them to be patient and focus on learning from him more then on trying to become president fast.

To survive in today’s market, corporate culture is essential and must have the longevity to withstand corporate compliance because without a clear conscience, the government will shut the company down. McBride Financial Services Incorporated (MFSI) is discovering that corporate compliance is not as easy as it seems. MFSI is attempting to break into the mortgage business and is beginning a financial relationship with an investment firm called Beltway Investments. Beltway Investments wants to ensure that Hugh McBride is ready for this relationship by inspecting his business processes. McBride will need to ensure that changes are made, compliance is researched and built-in the strategic plan, and the shareholders will be satisfied with the new MFSI.

One major point made during the session was that the government should have invested in a larger, more stable company, rather than small startups who lacked the capability to compete with China’s large-scale operations and massive subsidies. However, I think the U.S. government’s decision can be defended using the Infant Industry argument and the Strategic Trade policy. The Infant Industry argument states, “An industry should be protected until it can develop and be viable and competitive internationally”. Clearly, the government was just trying to protect the industry. However, if the U.S. was ever to compete, the companies they selected should have already been capable of raising the funds.
Joann, the purchasing agent for Occidental Aerospace, wanted to take advantage of the availability of Standard’s competitor’s bids to negotiate down on price. Until Standard is able to justify the price charged in terms of the value of the benefits provided they are in to lose Occidental as a client. Stiff competition might have force Occidental to focus on cost reduction, hence changes in its procurement policies. The company now requires multiple bidders instead of the previous sole sourcing which contributed to the long established relationship with Standard Machine over the years. Responding appropriately would not only secure the long preserved relationship but also increase Standard’s profitability.

The problem facing “the three amigo’s” and what are their respective goals (20/200) The main goal of the Three amigo’s is that they want Planet to become a “breakout firm” by growing their number of branches, which means investing heavily. The problem that occurs is that the growth must be financed by, but simultaneously they do not want to dilute their share in the company. They have multiple possibilies mentioned in
From the moment Tom was in charge of the company he focused on increasing the companies profit margin. This was not an easy job being that the company’s main products are considered commodities. Aside from that the partyware industry is constantly gaining new competitors that capture the market with similar products at lower prices. Tom Rose is currently faced with two marketing strategies that could be considered industry game changers and greatly impact his business.

Regal Marine, one of the U.S.’s 10 largest power-boat manufacturers, achieves its mission ―providing luxury performance boats to customers worldwide―using the strategy of differentiation. It differentiates its products through constant innovation, unique features, and high quality. Increasing sales at the Orlando, Florida, family-owned firm suggest that the strategy is working. As a quality boat manufacturer, Regal Marine starts with continuous innovation, as reflected in computer-aided design (CAD), high-quality molds, and close tolerances that are controlled through both defect charts and rigorous visual inspection. In-hose quality is not enough, however.
Another possible advantage of privatisation is an increase in competition as the privatisation of state owned monopolies usually occurs at the same time as deregulation of the industry. The increase in competition can be the greatest incentive to improvements in efficiency. For example, there is now more competition in the telecom industry and suppliers are now investing in fibre-optic technology and improving the infrastructure via capital investment. However, privatisation doesn’t necessarily increase the level of competition; it depends on the market structure. For example there is currently no competition in tap water, however this is a widely debated area and we could see a change to this soon and
