CHAPTER I
Project Background
A. Name of the Business, it's Meaning and History
Company Overview
Introduction
S.E.N.S.O.R Centre for Studies was inspired on the realization that the overall
quality of research in the local academic setting, particularly in most public colleges and
universities, is not that comprehensive or developed if not substantive in its nature or
impact to bring about the change that the original proponents or researchers aimed in
society. Most researches done by either undergraduate or graduate students in higher
education institutions were just being shelved by the sector mainly due to the lack of
government support or enthusiasm to really put it into an application, the accumulated
knowledge in a certain discipline will just be wasted in the end. Moreover, the quality
and scope of student research in public schools have not developed for a very long
period due to either lack of resources by students or the absence of necessary skills in
undertaking research stemmed by the lack of proper training by academic institutions
where they belong.
4
Thus, the proponents will make the firm S.E.N.S.O.R or sensor, from the root word
Page
of “sense” fromEnglish, which means a device used todiscover, measure, or detect a
physical change. Likewise, our endeavor to establish a “CentreforStudies” that willuplift
and develop the nature of research among students and organizations in the local
setting. We arrived in the formation of its meaning acronymically: Survey Extension on
the Nature of Students and Organizational Research that will cater theacademic sector,
public and private organizations need from designing to conducting, on data analysis
and publishing their research with focus on educational, social sciences, natural as well
as applied science, feasibility study, market research and public opinion poll or surveys.
S.E.N.S.O.R.
CENTRE FOR STUDIES
The Centre will offer research services among its clients within and outside
ofMuntinlupa.
B. Type of Business Organization
The “S.E.N.S.O.R.” will be owned and operated by ABADSSAssociates Co. a

Aireen O. Bamba, Ms. JaecelArgana, Ms. Dan Esmeralda C. De Leon, Ms. Chaira Erica
M. Sibuyo and Ms. Ruth Ann P. Solitario. They are the students from the
PamantasanngLungsodngMuntinlupa (PLMun) taking up a Bachelor of Arts in Political
Science.
At this type of firm, the General Partners will be equally liable in any legal debt,
profit, and management responsibility in the business. The limited partner will not be
liable beyond the funds he contributes to the partnership.
C. Location of the Office
Our location is at 83 National Road, Putatan, Muntinlupa, 1772, Metro Manila.

We’ve chosen this place because it was accessible and near the City Hall and
5
strategically centered between Alabangand Tunasan, the north and southbound of the
Page
City. This location was based on our target market college students of various private
and public tertiary schools that are operating within Muntinlupa and nearby areas.

CHAPTER III
MARKETING FEASIBILITY
One of the key determinants of business feasibility is its target markets. In this
chapter, the market study will be tackled which will then help the proponents in
determining the response of the target market. It will also exhibit the demand of the
target market and the supply needed to be launched. Furthermore, the thorough
analysis of the market study will be of assistance in determining the market share of the
proposed business and its competitors.
This study also tackles other related concepts like marketing strategies and/or
programs, product, pricing, place, and promotion strategy.
A. Market Description

known as S.E.N.S.O.R. Centre for Studies is a research firm established to provide
services on the conduct of research focusing on research design, data analysis and
collection procedures that will be going to used and applied. Doing research is as good
as its seeking answers to questions, solutions to problems even improvements and
changes in a certain area of discipline. And yet, some of it failed to do so.

individuals finding difficulty in finishing their researches as well as giving importance to
it. This includes students, teachers and different sectors thatwanted to contribute
toresearch about their expertise. Rendering this kind of service is just a few but having a

individuals’ necessities onthe study and work to support their academic requirements
and goals in research. The result of the analysis was revealed below.
Figure 1. Research Demand Per Industry
Based on a collective information survey, some factors that are in part of the

research area in the future will rapidly increase when it comes to its demand. These
factors may be affected by the continuous increase of population in our country that also
redirects to those newborn generations that will have educational services that conclude
on partaking to numerous researches. In short reasoning, our company will sure to
prosper in a city, country, and anywhere there is modernization and people partaking

CENTRE FOR STUDIES
Muntinlupa City is locally known for being the most business-friendly local
government in the South where you can find different business sectors and institutions
leading to itscontinuous progress. Also, having been invested in human capital
development by focusing on and ensuring public access in free education. But dealing
in the world of preserving, valuing and working on research like operating research
organizations is zero in the City. Unlike other cities having this business type
considering the essence of research in different aspects of life and the
transformationalpower, it can bring. Although, there are schools in Muntinlupa City
including the study of research starting from high school in order to widen the
knowledge of students in making their researches as well as to share their ideas with
others. The fact that research is not always related to every student but to everyone
such as those employees of government and non-government institutions, the
entrepreneurs, teachers, and other fields of profession. Moreover, having an existing
research firm in the Locale can also contribute to the development of the citizens and of
the City as well.

The proponents were able to get the projected supply for the next 5 years by
having an annual growth of 10% to the offered monthly product and services.
Projected Supply Computation
Research Services x Number of Operation Hours x Number of Days of Operation

Since there was no historical supply available in the industry, we will use the

same value of demand from the market to assume an equilibrium in demand and supply
analysis. The table above represents the supply based on demand with a 10 % annual

In the graphs above, it shows the demand analysis of randomly selected

students with 73 respondents from PLMun, West bay College, Colegio de Muntinlupa

CENTRE FOR STUDIES
and Lyceum Alabang for the demand of research center within the City. The survey
results include that 82.2 % are agreed and say yes for the development of this business
service. While there is also the percentage of 9.6 % for the no responses and 8.2 %
who are still undecided and confused. This interprets the high demand forthe research
center.
Demand-Supply Analysis
In the Demand-Supply Analysis, this shows the relationship between the two
variables on how the demand analysis response to its supply analysis and vice versa,
as also how each variable depends and affects the condition of each analysis. Based on
the demand analysis results, there is a high percentage of demand for the needs of
research centers. On other factors where the supply has zero in total meaning, there is
insufficient supply to address the demand analysis of the students. The relationship of
its demand and supply analysis will not work as long as there are no existing research
organizations to support the unceasing demand, needs and wants of the public.

E. Competitor’s Analysis
Running this kind of business is not as easy as other service business type
although the rivalry is calm. Considering that factor, competitors have also their
S.E.N.S.O.R.
CENTRE FOR STUDIES
strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats. But virtually, this type of business is
new to its endeavor. Most research organizations are either nonprofit or run bythe
government and academic institutions. So, interestingly we do not face any short term
competitive threat from those organizations.
A. SWOT Analysis
S.E.N.S.O.R Corporation
Strengths
- Newmarket category or industry for academic and general
research.
- Located in a visible and accessible place.
- Offers a low-friendly cost of service
- Personnel is highly educated and expertsin their profession.
Weaknesses
- A local business research center only in Muntinlupa City.
- Clients decided to stop his/her research due to some
unexpected reasons where profitability also affected.
51
- Clients decided to look for another center regarding the
instability of services offered whenever the Centredoes not meet
Page
their expectations.
Opportunities
- Increase of deals, clients and profits during the seasons where it
is mostly in demand.
- Invitation topieces of training, seminars, and workshops to gain
more knowledge and skills.
S.E.N.S.O.R.
CENTRE FOR STUDIES
Threats
- This business type is also operated by the world of
modernization through the internet where electrical shortage
mainly served as one hindrance to work well and finish the tasks
on time.
b. Five Forces Analysis
Competitive Rivalry
Competitors of S.E.N.S.O.R Centre have different

approaches,strategies,offerings and other advantages in order to attract more
customers.This includes the use of technology, money that has
invested,skills,knowledge, and experiences were eventually leading to the progress of
the business and somehow bringing the competition more intense.
Supplier Power
Operating the S.E.N.S.O.R Centre on its daily operation would not be possible
without the aid of its supplier to supply its needs and necessities. Facilities and
52
equipment such as the library,computer, and internet are some of it where the cost of its
services will be related and depends on the basis of the cost of capital and investments.
Page
Buyer Power
The buyer Power potential of the S.E.N.S.O.R clients can be limited depending
on the nature of their study,their preferences,time,effort, and price sensitivity.
Threat of Substitution
S.E.N.S.O.R.
CENTRE FOR STUDIES
Clients may switch and depend on themselves to be practical, saves their time
and effort rather than considering help from this company.
Duplication from other interest groups or organizations that is willing to penetrate

the market or the industry.
The threat of New Entry
It is inevitable in having a new competitor inside the business industry in line with
what is now a trend and useful. As there is a new entrant, considering the factor of more
capital requirements needed,ideas,time and effort in order to keep in track of what is
going on.
F. Marketing Program
a. Target Market
Every organization has its own target market in line with what they are offering,
an alternative solution and ease the way of living. Given the situation that this SENSOR
research center has also its own vision and mission towards serving individuals to the
53
following people, group of people and institutions:
Page
Students and Educational Institutions
Being loaded and trap from the number of school and office works is a never-
ending task of being a student and employee. Factors including lack of time and money
triggered to failed doing research on time. In connection with this, the center will serve
to guide them accordingly.
S.E.N.S.O.R.
CENTRE FOR STUDIES
Government and Non-Government Institutions
Problems of the community seem to always end to a problem instead of

transforming it into the solution of change. There may be an alternative solution and
way but it just temporarily and back to problem cycle again and again. One thing that
contributes to this is that ignoring the importance of research and depending on the
power, authority, and superiority all alone. As the SENSOR research center considered
this situation, it will.
b. Product Mix Strategies
SENSOR research Centredoes not also provide services out of the skills,
knowledge,time and efforts of the organization. But also, throughthe collection of market
research, public opinion surveys,data analysis, research design as well as the advising
cycle of the management in order to come up in historical and useful research. The
product mix strategies applied were converted to be either confidential or not depending
on the scope of research.

c. Market Timing and Scheduling Strategies
There are times that an organization experiencing the ups and downs in its sales
status depending on the number of customers in the daily operation. Even the

CENTRE FOR STUDIES
The data for the security Exchange Commission is based from their
requirements. The data for barangay clearance and Mayor's permit is also based on the
requirements. The data for bureau of international revenue is derived through 30% of
the income. This 30% is based on the law partnership and corporation.
Financial Risks
Financial Risk is one of the major concerns of businesses around the world,
regardless of industry. Risk is referred to as the chances of having an unexpected
outcome. There are different types of risks that a business might encounter and needs
to overcome. SENSOR Centre for Studies like any other growing business has the
possibility of getting involve to financial risks on its operations throughout the 5years of
its course. The projected sales of the business may result to lower sales than expected
but the proponents are prepared to face these challenges. Financial risk generally
arises due to instability and losses in the financial market caused by movements in
product prices, interest rates and more.
The Centre has also the potential of encountering business risk. As the value of
the services and products change, the profitability of the business will also vary.
In operational risks, needs and demands of consumers might be a problem to the
business if they cannot meet it. Furthermore, mismanagement of tasks and procedures
84
may result to failure of business operations. There might also be circumstances where
the projected demand and supply will not be met or it might exceed.
Page
Exit Strategies
The proponents have concluded the success of the business through this study,
but the consistency of the business success through the years will not be that
guaranteed. That is why, when the time comes, an exit strategy will be required. They
need to have a well-organized plan on how the business will be sold, or even on how
the operation will stop completely. No matter how strong the business operation may
S.E.N.S.O.R.
CENTRE FOR STUDIES
be, it is inevitable that the moment when the owners will no longer want to continue the
business. It may be due to the changing economic state of the country, or personal
matters, or they know that such hard times will come, and when it does, the proponents
must be ready for these.
The proponents will need to have a plan on how to end the operation in the most
efficient and effective way possible. They may consider selling the equipment of the
business to starting another business so that their equipment will not be put into waste,
and they can also use the revenue for other concerns or for starting a new venture. One
of thepossible choices is to sell parts of the stock of the business so the owners will still
have hold on the business. The last choice is to sell the business completely to a
prospective buyer. If they want to completely lose hold of the business, then it is the
best choice. Other than that, they can use the revenue for personal concerns or for
starting a new venture. These strategic plans for the future will be important so that they
will be prepared when such circumstances come their way.
Socio-Economic Study
This includes the significant contribution of the business to Philippine economy,

the ability of it to generate employment as well as its social desirability and other
85
benefits.

productive through their services. It also promotes a place where students can be
motivated to study and be more productive maximizing all the resources they need.
SENSOR Centre for Studies would be contributing to Philippine economy as well,
because it would be a legitimate and duly registered business entity that would be
paying its taxes to the government.
Employment Generation
SENSOR Centre for Studieswould be generating employment opportunities to

Filipinos, thus reducing the country’s current unemployment rate and will give the hired
employees and their families their source of income for their living needs. The existence
of the business and future operational success could help the development of
companies providing products needed for the performance of Isko-Lounge services
therefore promoting employment of more people on their end.

A. Demand Analysis
It refers to the consumer’s desire and willingness to pay a price for a good or
service. Effective demand will determine the profitability of the business.
A random sample of college students population from various colleges within
Muntinlupa wascollected and used in order to know the demand analysis coming from
individuals’ necessities onthe study and work to support their academic requirements
and goals in research. The result of the analysis was revealed below.

Based on a collective information survey, some factors that are in part of the
research area in the future will rapidly increase when it comes to its demand. These
factors may be affected by the continuous increase of population in our country that also
redirects to those newborn generations that will have educational services that conclude
on partaking to numerous researches. In short reasoning, our company will sure to

prosper in a city, country, and anywhere there is modernization and people partaking
educational services there is. Having this kind of situation will make our company be in
need of the students, institutions, and organizations that will make our company
running. As there as newborn generations that are in the process of their educational
services, the company will give its best support for the company to deliver great
services.

Muntinlupa City is locally known for being the most business-friendly local
government in the South where you can find different business sectors and institutions
leading to itscontinuous progress. Also, having been invested in human capital
development by focusing on and ensuring public access in free education. But dealing

including the study of research starting from high school in order to widen the
knowledge of students in making their researches as well as to share their ideas with
others. The fact that research is not always related to every student but to everyone
such as those employees of government and non-government institutions, the
entrepreneurs, teachers, and other fields of profession. Moreover, having an existing
research firm in the Locale can also contribute to the development of the citizens and of
the City as well.

Since there was no historical supply available in the industry, we will use the same
value of demand from the market to assume an equilibrium in demand and supply
analysis. The table above represents the supply based on demand with a 10 % annual
growth.
A. Demand-Supply Analysis
Demand Analysis
In the graphs above, it shows the demand analysis of randomly selected

students with 73 respondents from PLMun, West bay College, Colegio de Muntinlupa
and Lyceum Alabang for the demand of research center within the City. The survey
results include that 82.2 % are agreed and say yes for the development of this business
service. While there is also the percentage of 9.6 % for the no responses and 8.2 %
94
who are still undecided and confused. This interprets the high demand forthe research
center.

Demand-Supply Analysis
In the Demand-Supply Analysis, this shows the relationship between the two
variables on how the demand analysis response to its supply analysis and vice versa,
as also how each variable depends and affects the condition of each analysis. Based on
the demand analysis results, there is a high percentage of demand for the needs of
research centers. On other factors where the supply has zero in total meaning, there is
insufficient supply to address the demand analysis of the students. The relationship of

organizations to support the unceasing demand, needs and wants of the public.
