Business Organization

There are four ways to form a business:

This is generally the simplest ways to set up a business. A sole proprietorship is owned by a single individual who is singly responsible for running the business and is accountable for all debts and obligations related to the business. Advantage of sole proprietorship is that the owner makes all the decisions like the location of the business, who to hire , what to sell and the owner is not bound to share the profits with anyone else. Disadvantage of sole proprietorship he shoulders all the losses andhas unlimited liability which means payment of his loans will extend to his personal assets. And when he dies, the business will be terminated

  1. Partnership

A partnership is an agreement in which two or more persons put together their resources in a business for the purpose of making profit. The profits to be earned will divided among the partners according to the terms of agreement. Advantage of partnership is that each owner can help with financing, start-up costs., shared knowledge and experience. Disadvantage of partnership is the equal sharing of profits they put in to start the business.

There are two types of partnership:

1 The general partnership. Is a business arrangement by which two or more

individuals agree to share in all assets, profits and financial and legal liabilities of the business.

1 The limited partnership is consisting of general partnership who manages the

business and has unlimited liability for the debts and obligations of thebusiness.

Porter’s Five Forces of Competitive Position Analysis

  1. Supplier power. It is essential to evaluate how much power the supplier is capable to drive up prices. A supplier benefits this power if there are few supplier of an essential input and they therefore control the supply of that input. The more unique the product, the easier it is for the supplier to drive up price.

  2. Buyer power. An evaluation of how easy it is for buyers to direct prices down. This is directed by the: number of customers in the market; worth of each buyer to the organisation; and cost to the interchange from one supplier to another. If a business has just a less of powerful buyers, they are usually able to dictate terms.

  3. Competitive rivalry. The major driver is the number and competitor’s capability in the market. A lot of competitors, offering common products and services, will reduce market attractiveness.

  4. Threat of substitution. Where common products available in a market, it improves the livelihood of customers switching to alternatives in response to price increases. This lessen both the power of suppliers and the attractiveness of the market.

  5. Threat of new entry. Profitable markets attract new entrants, which destroy profitability. Unless current have strong and long lasting barriers to entry, for example capital requirements or government policies and regulations, then profitability will slow down to a competitive rate.

  1. Supplier Power- An evaluation of how easy it is for suppliers to drive up prices. a. Run by the suppliers of each input; unlikeness of their service or products; relative size and strength of the supplier; and cost of shifting from one supplier to another

  2. Buyer Power- An evaluation of how easy it is for buyers to control prices down. a. regulated by the buyers in the market; relevance of each individual buyer to the organisation; and cost to the buyer of switching from one supplier to another, when a business has a few powerful buyers, they are usually able to dictate terms.

  3. Number of Competitors- Number and capability of competitors in the market will also impact on the attractiveness of the market. a. If competitors are numerous and offer similar services and products, the market will be less attractive. b. Small capability of competitors to meet the market's current needs will serve as an attractive opportunity for the firm.

  4. Possibility of Substitution- Buyers will switch to alternatives in case of price increases. a. The supplier will benefit less power to drive prices up and the market will be less attractive.

  5. Possibility of New Entrants- Investors join the bandwagon when market is profitable and get a share of the profits. a. If new investors penetrate a market, the share of the participants in the market will be divided amongmore individuals and will therefore decline, thus, lessen profits.

But if a barrier to entry prevents new participants from entering the market, profits will be maintained among the existing participants.

  • What type of people will you cater to, based on their preferences, lifestyles, and buying habits?

It has been a major source of employment to millions of Filipino workers and it contributed one third of the of the country’s Gross Domestic Product in 1970’s but it declined to 8% in 2016 of this,a number of initiatives have been implemented to enhance the sector’s productivity. One of these is the development of the production of food grains and crops like rice, banana, pineapple, coffee, camote, monggo, corn, coconut and calamansi. The development of fish and animal production have been implemented too. For animal production, there are two types that can be engaged to one is livestock and the other is poultry. These two are commonly engaged by the small entrepreneurs which provide livelihood that can provide income and employment opportunities to poor households.

Retail includes the sale of merchandise from a one point of purchase directly to a consumer who tends to utilize that product. The single purchase could be a brick- and-mortar retail store, a catalog, an internet shopping website, or even a mobile phone. The retail activity is at the last point of the chain. Manufacturers sell huge quantities of goods to retailers, and retailers tends to sell those same quantities of goods to customers.

What is an 'Export'? Exports are goods and services made in one country and sold to buyers in another. Exports are important to modern economies, because they provide opportunities to people and firms many channels of distribution for their goods. One of the major functions of diplomacy and foreign policy between countries is to improve economic trade, encouraging imports and exports for the advantage of all trading parties. It is a way o sending products to another country in return of payment. If you are on a plane and you bring 3 bags of chocolates from your country to another, it is not exporting. You are just taking goods with you.

Exporting is done on a huge scale. The opposite of it is importing,which was mentioned earlier, that means a country is receiving goods from another country. It is an essential part of an economy. It permits the residents of the country to produce employ people goods, , and earn money. The country that will receive, on the other hand, will benefit from the goods because they have a short supply of it. For example, there may be places abroad that have a high demand for rice. But since their locations are not ideal for planting, they have to ask another country to supply them with it.

The country that ordered the rice is the importer and the country that supplied it is the exporter.
