B. Conclusion

As for the data that was given by the participants, it is clear that most of the computer

shops in Anonas, Aurora are being handled by the one who is being tasked or on duty

to look for the shop. In the matter, it can be normally seen that the owner is

sometimes not in the shop. However, the researchers manage to give survey for those

computer shop owners who are in the shop. It can be found that there are a lot bunch

of computer shops in the area and within them, comes portability for they also have

Xerox machines, laminating machines, and book-binding tools. Having said, the shop

has many workers for it to work giving the researchers much of participants of their

study.

The researcher may also conclude that most of the workers of the computer shops in

Anonas, Aurora, got in to work for just a month only. This shows that some of the

employee working there, are all just this years’ employee. The researchers can

therefore see that all of their income is just in the minimum. However, for the owners,

the researchers found out that most of them are on their business for years so it’s just

normal to see that their income rises up to 15000 pesos. The given income is the base

line of the ten owners. With this information, the researchers saw that there is a break

even in their expenses and revenue. The cost of expenses is less than the cost of gross

income in much sense. The researchers also found out that the most effective tool to

earn an increase of income is to build customer relationship and have promos to keep

the customers coming back.

C. Recommendation

For the aspiring business entrepreneur, as a researcher with regards to the found data

and perceive conclusions, the researchers fairly recommend that building a computer

shop in this vicinity might be hard for there are many competitors already in the

market place. With concern with the PEST analysis, T for Threat, the abundant store

can be a threat to the new entrant.

Given the fact that there is a school that is facilitated in the area but with the Mineski

and other competing shops just in front T.I.P. for example, it can be hard to them to

be in the market.

For students, more appropriately, for working students, there are a lot of opportunities

to earn income just part-time. There are a lot of computer shops that are still looking

for workers who are willing to be a trustee in their shop. Moreover, they can also

support income need because they are financially stable when it comes to their gross

revenue.
