Its weaknesses are: no established Vision, Mission, and Goals, high operating cost and low revenue, no established projection of production; decisions are based on a ?come and go? principle, the lack of new products and the focus on breads and cakes only. For the opportunities, these are: prices are not controlled/regulated by the local agencies, bread as one of the major segments of the food industry and being part of the Filipino diet with per capita consumption of 14kl per year and the Filipino's changing lifestyle of regularly dining with family outside of home.

Expand refreshment menu and add fast food products; 2. Expand market by tapping the canteen in all schools in Mlang. These strategies will maximize the potential and operating assets of Jennie's Bakeshop and increase its sales, which will both, address the minimal revenue it gain with the present production.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
