  • A Financial and Operational Analysis of Banco De Oro
    Presented at the DLSU Research Congress 2015 De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines March 2-4, 2015 A Financial and Operational Analysis of Banco De Oro Lore-Anne Cadsawan1, Patrick Caoile2,*, John Disuanco3, Renz Garcia4, Janel Tumpalan5, Sean Wu6 and Mycah Yao7 De La Salle University 2401 Taft Avenue, Manila *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract: Banco De Oro Unibank, Inc. (BDO) is one of the universal banks in the Philippines that was a product of a merger which made it unprecedented in size and scale in the Philippine banking industry. It offers a variety of services, ranging from the traditional lending and deposit-taking to foreign exchange, brokering, and corporate cash management. It is currently majority owned by the SM Group of Companies, which is headed by business tycoon, Mr. Henry Sy, who is considered the richest man in the Philippines. As of June 30, 2014, in terms of assets and loans, it is ranked number one in the universal and commercial bank group. With this, BDO should be able to compete to uplift its reputation with the increase in competition and constant penetration of international banks. The financials and operations of the bank must be examined to determine if it still has a competitive advantage over the increasing number of international banks in the Philippines. To examine BDO's performance in the financial side, a thorough financial ratio analysis is done. To study where the bank is in terms of its operations side, the SWOT Analysis and Porter’s Five Forces Model will be used. The financial ratios show that in terms of resources, gross customer loans, deposit liabilities, capital funds and net income, BDO is doing well and improving as all the figures are increasing.

  • The Family Business: Statistics, Profiles and Peculiarities by Sheelah E
    The Family Business: Statistics, Profiles and Peculiarities By Sheelah E. Johnston The family business is the world’s dominant form of business organization. Based on figures compiled by the Family Firm Institute (FFI), family firms comprise 80 to 90% of all businesses in North America. In the United Kingdom 75% of all businesses are family businesses. Contrary to most expectations, family businesses are not limited to small, “mom and pop” operations. Some of the world’s biggest and best-known companies are actually family-owned. In the United States, some 37% of Fortune 500 companies are family-owned while 60% of publicly-listed companies are family-controlled (FFI figures). Wal-Mart, Ford, Mars Corporation, J.P. Morgan, Firestone, DuPont and Levi Strauss are some examples of big family businesses in the U.S. Other family-owned or family-controlled multinational companies with popular brands include: L’Oreal (France), Benetton (Italy), Siemens (Germany), Ikea (Sweden), Lego (Denmark) and Kikkoman (Japan). In the Philippines, it is estimated that at least 80% of businesses are family-owned. In fact, most big corporations are family-owned or family-controlled. These companies, whose ownership may be already dispersed, are still identified with the founding family. They would include Ayala Corporation (Ayala family), Metrobank (George Sy Family), ABS-CBN and Meralco (Lopez family), J.G. Summit Holdings (Gokongwei family) and SM Prime Holdings (Henry Sy family). Although these companies are publicly listed and hence, ownership may include non-family shareholders, each family’s influence on these companies is still far-reaching: the top position is occupied by a family member.
