Among the companies that uses e-commerce the one that I choose is Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Their Motto is "Itaguyod ang Bayan, Tamang Buwis ay Bayaran"

However, these strategies are highly confidential that nobody can access except the companies itself. Updating present information and news in business world can be reach with this thing. This man made thing, so called "computers" can help a lot, particularly managerial decision makings. Problems that may arise in the firm, can somehow be settled.

"The strategies of foreign companies with that of Philippine corporation"

As I observed, the strategies of foreign companies are prone and exposed to modern technologies. They seems to be dependent on it. As a result, they can analyzed and evaluate the market. They can apply new strategies with the demand of the situation. Besides, foreigners are mold in early age regarding the business world. Their trainings and programs to their employees are more appropriate and suited to become skillful.

In the contrary, Philippine strategies, are only focusing in a particular market. If not all, most of the businesses are only looking forward for a limited market. But somehow, other ventures are tend to expand their market worldwide. Modern facilities and technologies may used recently according to reality.
