Stan’s Sloan Letter

10^th Sept 2020

Dear Mr. Stan Sloan,

I’m pleased to have been hired by HISCO Inc. and allowed the managerial position.  During my tenure in office, the company has improved performance, and the trend is expected to hold in the next two years. This letter will highlight the expectations for the next two years, review the SWOT analysis, review the company strategy, negotiations with stakeholders, recommend a change in technology, growth expectations in the industry, and address issues in the previous year.

In the coming two years, the company has several expectations. Firstly, the company will improve its profitability and be supported by increasing revenue and reduced costs. In achieving the objective, the firm will conduct an aggressive market campaign and minimize processes or activities that lead to increased costs. Secondly, the firm is expected to increase its market share and become the market leader. The firm will establish strategies to minimize competition. Lastly, the firm’s stock prices are projected to increase by 50%; the strong performance of HISCO has led to increased demand for its shares.

 The firm will review its SWOT analysis.  The firm should capitalize on its strengths to minimize weaknesses and take opportunities to counter the threats.  HISCO has strengths in engineering; however, they should diversify its strengths to marketing and manufacturing. The firm should invest in producing high-quality products and increasing advertising to increase the organization’s revenue.  HISCO is facing threats from its competitors and may lead to a decline in the market share. The firm should make efforts to provide high-quality services for care hospitals, and minimize its operating costs, providing a competitive advantage to the firm.  

HISCO Inc. should review its strategy. The current strategy is long-term, and it is not reviewed periodically. They should set a specific, measurable, achievable, reasonable, and within a specified time frame.  Such a strategy will allow the firm to achieve its long-term objectives without failure. Besides, the strategies ought to be reviewed after a given interval. For example, if the long-term goals are for 5 years, it should be reviewed annually and monitor the progress towards achieving the objective.

 The company’s stakeholders have a significant interest in the firm since they have invested in the firm, and in return, they expect good returns on their investment. HISCO Inc. will make several negotiations with stakeholders with the objective of expansion and growth of the company. Firstly, the stakeholders will be requested to make voting on huge capital expenditure items. For example, the member should vote to increase Research and Development (R & D), resulting in the firm’s growth. Secondly, the stakeholders will be requested to take lower dividends in a few years. The retained earnings will be used to expand the firm and an increase in dividends in the future.

The company expects to embrace technology in its processes, systems, and organizations. The R&D team and IT department are expected to suggest the best technology to be adopted by the organization. The technology should have an impact on increasing efficiency, productivity, minimize costs, and provide the firm with a competitive advantage over its competitors.

 The firm has projected growth in several areas of operations. The revenue is expected to grow at 5% over the next five years. In achieving growth, the firm will increase its assets, minimize operations costs, use the latest technology in its operations, and improve all operations areas. The growth will be achievable if the executives make good strategic decisions and staff implement it. Besides, the firm will make an aggressive marketing campaign to increase service revenue. 

In the previous year, several issues happened and need to be addressed if the company has to succeed in the future. First, there was increased labor turnover; the Human Resource department should develop hiring and retaining the best employees. Secondly, the firm faced several lawsuits, which imply lowering the reputation of the firm. The firm should comply with relevant laws and regulations to minimize lawsuits. Lastly, the firm should consider disposing of investments that are not profitable and reinvest the funds in profitable opportunities. 

The firm failed to perform will in profitability in 2014 despite the increasing total assets during the period. HISCO should identify the reasons leading to dismal performance. For example, during the period, the assets were not utilized well to generate the revenue or decline in revenue or increased expenses.  The management should make efforts to ensure the firm is profitable and able to pay dividends.  During the same, the firm has cash flow problems having nil balances at the end of all quarters. The management should make cash flow forecasts and make necessary arrangements with banks in case of an expected deficit in the cash balance.

In conclusion, the firm needs to improve on all the above-discussed items to improve its productivity, efficiency, and sales volume. Consequently, this will improve the total revenue, profit margins, and market share of the industry compared to its peers.

Yours

HISCO Inc.

HISCO Inc. Sales, Marketing, & Industry

Shamrok (2012) has it that note that assembling esteem expands benefits and investors’ riches by cost-efficiencies in tasks, just as evolved deals and benefits from the all-inclusive market partition. Notwithstanding fabricating, HISCO creates advertising an incentive to the items by executing new item presentations (NPI) and estimating near to the business contenders. The 4Ps of showcasing are item, value, spot, and advancement; they the vital factors for making esteem chain for clients and the organization.

Concerning the items, HISCO is the top organization underway of clinical supplies in the clinical business; HISCO is known for its arrangement of top-notch, quick, and recognized clinical analysts. Correspondingly, the organization has presented NPIs, such as books utilized in housekeeping, upkeep, and healthy control in emergency clinics and schools. Sheihk (2013) argues that the variety of giving clinical understudies to various capacities has invigorated huge worth and upper hand that meets various clients’ wants. It likewise spread budgetary dangers against relying upon one product offering; some clinical supplies have a propensity of confronting occasional interest. For example, during winter seasons, malady identified with chilly climate is probably going to manifest. At such a period, clinical supplies that battle cold illnesses will probably be on popularity contrasted with late spring.

HISCO applies the serious valuing system with the end goal that the costs of items are set concerning the Medical Elective Manufacturing firms in the business. On this note, HISCO research on market and industry valuation to decide the factors controlling contenders’ costs. HISCO Inc, at that point, set its costs that walk with the item quality coming about to upper hands. The HISCO’s rivals in the North American local market go through practically identical components influencing advertising 4Ps. notwithstanding, each firm is devoted to walking quality and estimating, just as brand advancement in lively zones increases upper hands. In such a manner, HISCO produces an incentive by utilizing progressed advertising techniques to outmaneuver the rest in the business sectors (Lee, 2008).

We should be strides in front of our rivals for two or three fundamental reasons. By realities, the ventilation run is certifiably not controlled by patent rights, and to be sure, a decent number of our rivals always plan to produce the same product. As management, we are responsible for focusing on new products or innovation. Massey’s (2016) assessment is that available outside condition powers facilitate adjustments in ventilation; for example, clients change in inclinations and taste. HISCO is pulled in commonly far out famous for being crucial, for example, when the EU decides on the following Eco-structure or Energy Declarations. Disparities of Europe’s conclusions are essential since they observe strict measures to be used in the market. HISCO has connected two important morals in its progress cycle: its successful exercise and normalization of related items. Besides, our consistent reinvention and development of products in a severe and invaluable business segment (Taghiei, 1992).

We have experienced a unique influence in this undertaking through several attempts and resolve frameworks regarding new product formulation. As regards HISCO Inc., their cycle entails validity and confidentiality among the client’s meeting. This is not a usual path for keeping out fierce producers who disregard to costs in the market. Hedefalk (2018) concedes to the way that many clients are suggesting we normalize on stating which products in the market are genuine. The management’s work is less bound by substances irrespective, additionally – and in whatever degree, as regards fundamental levels– towards growth establishment. By exploiting an assessment, make exhibition shining while taking into account clients’ benefit; being imaginable in avoiding time wasted, that will generally draw out, deferral, and advance the outlay.
