Introduction

Mr. Andy Mallari opened a small shop selling transistor radios and other electronic
parts in Cabanatuan City in 1979. His business grew and by 1990 he was able to save money
and purchased a 300 square meter lot and built a two-storey building. He expanded his
business in other big towns of San Jose City, Gapan and Guimba in which his current
operations cover sales and repair. By this time, he employs five salesladies in Cabanatuan
and six technicians.

Mr. Mallari’s perspective has changed drastically after he met his former classmate
Estelito Chan who now has a well-established appliance assembly plant in Manila. He said
that he didn’t start big but rather as a subcontractor for a large assembly plant until he was
able to establish his own factory.

Mr. Mallari has three sons, all belonging to the top ten in their respective classes. His
oldest is about ready to enter college and is thinking of sending him to an engineering school.
He thinks all three have the potential to help him realize his dream of establishing his own
assembly plant.

concern of Mr. Estrelito Chan. which has already grown into a well-established contraption
assembly works in Manila. He. Mr. Mallari. nevertheless, has three boies who belong to the
top 10 in their several categories and he thinks that his kids have great potency of assisting

history every individual item in his programs from the biggest up to the smallest 1s for if
there is any instance of trips in his enterprise. it can destroy all of his programs.

Recommendations

Harmonizing to Engr. Helito R. Singson JR... if he were Mr. Andy Mallari, he would
take Electronics and Communications Engineering to be the class for his first boy. since
electronic industry is what his concern is all approximately. He added that it is wise that his
boy who. if of all time. will be an electronic applied scientist be positioned as a supervisor.
The 2nd boy is to take concern disposal; he will be in charge of the direction facets within the
concern. And the 3rd one is to take finance. and he will be in charge of the fiscal facets of the
concern.
