experience easily without having to come to the venue.

• Proper implementation of a new costing strategy, target costing method,
Activity Based Costing, and new pricing strategy, Cost Plus Pricing,
commission-based pricing will help improve SSH's profit margin.
• A good process for event management in financial perspective, customer
perspective and internal business also can help to increase the profit for the
upcoming year.
