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 ]

This 5 page paper first describes the alternative structures, then explores the advantages in a multibusiness corporation. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

[ send me this paper ]

Notes that this success revolves around Southwest’s emphasis on being a short-haul company; one that doesn’t pretend to offer many of the amenities of the industry icons like Delta, United and American Airlines. Its emphasis is getting from point A to point B in as expedient and efficient manner as possible. The author asserts that while the other airlines wouldn’t benefit as much from changing their route structure they would benefit from a greater concentration on efficiency and less on customer amenities.
