7:02 pm	Learning Strategic Management Filipino Style Most who will learn strategic management will not become an executive and a business owner of a major international or Filipino corporation anywhere in the near future. The decision making tools you will acquire overtime via experience will be useful in all levels in an organization and in your own career development planning. Business in Manila Strategic management involves industry analysis and organized analysis which is important in all types of organizations specially in small business, franchise business and other industries. Studying Strategic management will also equip the Pinoy entrepreneur with tools that enable him or her to deal with important issues in a complex business environment. A simple definition of what strategic management is a process by which someone analyze and learn from their internal and external environments and established strategic direction, create strategies which are intended to achieve goals. In the Philippine setting, there are various factors that must be taken into consideration when going into a business. Political factors must also be taken into account specially in a country which has already seen two popular uprisings and one nearly succeeding. Such political uncertainty hurts business prospects in strategic planning. Careful planning will ensure business success even in the most volatile economies. This is a perfect example of an internal environmental factor. External environmental factors will include global environmental forces such as technological, political, economic or socio cultural trends. Rising oil prices will affect the way how domestic production are priced. The war in the middle east also affect the Philippines since we have a large number of overseas Filipino worker, and a large number of them returning all at once will strain government resources in finding them work at home.

6:42 pm	Business Management Philippines When setting up a mobile car wash or car wash station in the Philippines you must consider many things prior to the opening of your business. I recommend finding out what pressure washer brand names are available in your area and evaluation these companies and the various types. This will you help you choose the best for your budget and type of work you will be doing. Business Management Philippines Next you have to ask yourself what type of stuff do you wish to clean; Trucks, cars, buses? Many people wishing to start this type of business will ask can I use an old van or pick-up truck to start or should I use a low cost Chinese Pressure Washer that is available locally? The problem with Chinese pressure washers is that they are junk. A Honda Motor and a General or Cat pump or Karcher pump is much better. Of course, you might have to mail order that from the Philippines if you cannot find an importer who sells them. The concept of using an old van or pickup makes and a van is nice because you can put "signs" on the side too. You most likely will be much happier with a hose reel, than just folding up the high-pressure hose each time. You will need about 75 feet of high-pressure hose to start, more later if you clean lots of vehicles in one place. Each 25 foot section should have a quick couple disconnect and you need a rubber sleeve over them to prevent them wearing down. Since people drive nuts in the Philippines you should get big bumpers on your van or pickup truck to protect you. For car wash soap, you should use liquid organic cleaners that are simple, non-caustic; still you maybe required to remove the waste water after completed. You can do this with an extra water tank with a wet and dry vacuum set up. If you are only considering the washing and cleaning of personal vehicles this ought to do it. (Comment on this)
