To be able to determine the specific type of customers the
company will have, market segmentation is needed.

Demand and Supply Analysis
Supply and demand is an economic model of pricedetermination in
a market. It postulates that in a competitive market, the unit price for a
particular good or other traded items such as labor or liquid financial
assets will vary until it settles at a point where the quantity demanded (at
the current price) will equal the quantity supplied (at the current price),
resulting in an economic equilibrium for price and quantity transacted.
Gap analysis refers to the process through which a company
compares its actual performance to its expected performance to determine
whether it is meeting expectations and using its resources effectively. Gap
analysis seeks to define the current state of a company or organization
and the target state of the same company or organization.
A. Past Demand and Supply Gap Analysis
To get the gap analysis, determine the demand and supply. Subtract it
from one anotherand the result will be the gap.

Basis of Pricing
Pricing is the process determining what a company will receive in
exchange for its product and services. It is a fundamental aspect of
financial modelling and is one of the 4P’s of Marketing Mix. The other preaspects are product, promotion, and place. Price is the only revenue
generating element among the four, the rest being the cost centers.
A. Cost-Based Pricing
Factors considered in pricing the service packages in E-DEN:
1. Labor and Material Cost
2. Overhead Cost
3. Profit Margin
E-DEN used cost-based pricing to determine the price using the total
cost and profit margin. Furthermore, E-DEN sets a price at a percentage
above the cost it incurs to provide the service. The cost-based pricing is
also one way of determining the price floor and the price ceiling using the
costs.

located inside Bonifacio Global City which is considered the
center of business in Taguig City.For this reason, it caught
the attention of the researchers that there is a potential
booming of E-Den in the said area that would really
complement our project.

E-den, as the first concept business to be established
in accommodating everyone,especially students and even
professionals in aid to their researches and leisure, in this
area there are other businesses that could be our indirect
competitors. Such competitors might bemall stores, body
building gyms and fast-food restaurants.However, this does
not affect the businessas the researchers will assure to

101

deliver a service that thecustomers will recognize different
from the other businesses.

Utilities
A. Electricity

One of the most important utilities needed by the business to
operate is the electricity. This will be used to provide the power
required to start-up the equipment inside the establishment and
light up the work place during the operating hours. It will be
convenient to the customers as they are able to recharge their
gadgets necessary for researching.
B. Water Supply
This is necessary for the additional service provided such as
the shower room and comfort room to maintain sanitation inside the
establishment. Maintaining personal hygiene is necessary for many
reasons; personal, social, health, psychological or simply as a way
of life. Keeping a good standard of hygiene helps to prevent the
development and spread of infections, illnesses and bad odors.
C. Internet Connection/ Telecommunications
Today, students and professionals are using the internet to
do research and complete their papers. Since the internet is full of
information, most people use this as a source of education. It is

112

also an effective platform to advertise the services offered. It is the
fastest and easiest way to connect and communicate to the
customers.
Waste Disposal
E-DEN: All Around Hub recognizes that proper waste
disposal is critical due to the fact that certain types of wastes can
be hazardous and can contaminate the environment if not handled
properly. These types of wastes also have the potential to cause
diseases or get into water supplies. The waste that will be
collectedinside the establishment is carefully placed in proper
garbage bins,collected and isolated to operating hours. Segregation
bins are also provided and the recyclable materials collected will be
sold into junk shops that will add funds to the business.

CHAPTER V
Management Study
Management is the art of accomplishing work through people. It is
also the attainment of the goals and objectives of the organization through
the efforts of the members using the available resources efficiently and
effectively. This aspect aimed at knowing the specific attributes of men,
money, materials, methods, and market to the fullest to make the flow of
the business operation effective and ideal.

Objectives of the Study

To determine what form of business ownership the proposed
business will have

To analyze the organization and management aspect of the
business

To introduce or present the exact capitalization of the business

To describe the requirements and qualifications, duties and
responsibilities, and salaries and benefits of the business
manpower

To illustrate and discuss clearly the flow of authority and the
policies that will serve as a guide of the entire business

115

Form of Ownership
The proponents decided to choose partnership as the form of
business ownership because the combination of the partner’s abilities will
result to an effective operation of the business. In addition, partnership is
easier and less expensive to organize, partners believe that they easily
adapt how to run the business.
Partnership is easy to form because of the collaboration of two or
more owners, wherein each partner will contribute money, property and
industry with the intention of dividing the profits and losses among
themselves.

Capitalization
It is an important aspect for business owners to have a capital
before starting a business. ELLM Corp. agreed that each partner will
contribute P5,000,000 which came from their personal savings. The
accumulated money will be used as the capital for the establishment for
the proposed business.

The socio-economic impact of this study will clearly state its
relevance to the external aspect of the business.
Objectives:
a) To determine the contributions of the business to the Philippine
economy,
b) To describe the benefits of the business to its community,
c) To ensure the active participation in the maintenance of cleanliness in
the environment.
Socio-Economic Contributions
A.1. Contribution to the Philippine Economy
Every business establishment will be of great help for the growth
and development of the Philippine economy. This will only be possible if
every firm will be responsible enough to perform their duties and
obligations to their customers, community and of course to the
government.
A.2. Employment Generation

152

E-den: All-Around Hub will not only help in the circulation of money
but also help to strengthen the Philippine economy by generating jobs for
the Filipino people. The business will provide job opportunities to many
individuals. Every society wants all its qualified members to be gainfully
employed. This will help to lessen the unemployment rate and crime rate
in the Philippines.
The firm will employ qualified and skilled workers in order to fulfill
their work tasks accordingly. Workers will be paid with their rightful salary
and benefits from the firm. The more communities having this kind of
establishment, the more job opportunities there will be for the Filipino
people.
A.3. Social Desirability
Every business desires to help and satisfy their customers by giving
them the services they want according to what they expect. E-den: AllAround Hub aims to help not only the students but also the young
marketing professionals and their assigned projects, theses, and tasks
and at same time giving them leisure and entertainment after their work.
The firm will cater the needs of their customers.
This establishment will be a great help to customers who are in
need of a place to stay. During late nights, most students and

153

professionals are doubtful if there is a place where they can do their
projects, appointments, and fulfill other tasks. Building this establishment
is indeed useful to these people.
