and same definition for a concept throughout
the narrative presentation of theory)
Parsimony of a theory (Theory should be
stated clearly and simply)

Other Comments:

Comments
The theory/research is helpful to those
bamboo owners especially in
budget/inventory planning.
The research is consistent and terms are
understandable especially to those with
background in accountancy or any
business courses.
The theory is clear and simple.
The research is based only in interviews.
Although some results are not expected ,
this is maybe because these are internal
issues. Some results reflect some
observable problems/issues in the
bamboo industry today.
They should consider larger sample size
and also include those in some other
areas (not only limited in the city proper)
The theoretical claims congruent with
empirical evidence
It is feasible to implement and also this
research if implemented will result to a
favorable outcome such as less loss and
proper inventory planning.
