Acer's Contemplation of Manufacturing in Canada
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper
discussing whether Acer Computer should expand manufacturing operations to include a site in
Canada. The company already maintains shipping and repairing facilities, and the proposal is that
Acer Canada institute a build-to-order scheme patterned after that of Dell Computer. The year is
1996 and long-term projections already call for the PC industry to suffer certain decline.
Superficially, it is not the time to begin manufacturing PCs and expect to be profitable, but the
SWOT analysis of the situation indicates that adding manufacturing to current existing operations
is a sound and relatively inexpensive move. The paper recommends that Acer add manufacturing
to existing Canadian operations. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Advantages of Multibusiness Corporations
[ send me this paper ]
The structure of a business can be the single most important aspect of whether or not it weathers the economic storms of the modern world. The consumer may not know the nature of the structure; whether it is a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a corporation or a limited liability company - but it may make a significant difference to the amount of taxes that are paid, how the employee is able to share in the profit, the response that can be made to a lawsuit and how it is bought and, or, sold. This 5 page paper first describes the alternative structures, then explores the advantages in a multibusiness corporation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
