“The School of the Future”
From the start of business in 1982, San Jose Kitchen Cabinets was already sharing profits with
employees. Although this practice is not common, Mr Chan, founder and manager, had always been
of the belief that profit-sharing can aid economic stability and decrease unemployment.
The profit share percentage of employees was arbitrary, until in 1987, Mr Chan realized that, in any
economic activity or business enterprise, there are always two partners: labor and capital, and one
cannot exist without the other.
Thus, it followed that a 50/50 percent share would be logical. This profit share is over and above the
salaries and social security paid to the employees.
In addition, there was a cap on executive compensation: there is a policy that the compensation, both
salary and profit share, of the highest ranking employee should not exceed ten times that of the
lowest ranking employee.
All in all, a lot of efficiencies have been gained: the average return on equity from 1987 to the present
has been 30%, and high levels of job satisfaction have been felt throughout the organization.
Mission : To contribute in the study and promotion of social justice (in particular profit sharing)
Strategy for Sustainability : To develop a profit sharing system that is both advantageous to the
owners of business and the employees. A system that results in better net profit to the company in
the long term and much larger total compensation for the employees. A win-win formula. In the end,
society also benefits.
A business is an activity that is part of human society: it is an entity in which economic resources or inputs, such as materials and
labor, are put together and processed to provide goods or services or outputs to customers.
Businesses are usually complex enterprises involving major activities like purchasing, manufacturing, marketing, advertising
selling, and accounting.
Profit is the difference between the amount received and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing goods or services.
Businesses make the goods and services you use each day.
Types of Business
Merchandising businesses sell products they purchase from other businesses to customers.
Manufacturing business convert basic inputs into products that are sold to customers.
3. Corporation - A corporation is an entity created by law that is separate and distinct from its owners.
Based on the Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines (February 2019), a corporation shall have perpetual existence
unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise.
The characteristics that distinguish a corporation from proprietorships and partnerships are:
a. The corporation has separate legal existence from its owners.
b. The stockholders have limited liability.
c. It has transferable ownership rights (ownership is in shares of stock)
d. It has the ability to obtain higher capital (relative ease)
e. The corporation can have a continuous life.
f. The corporation is subject to numerous government regulations.
g. The corporation must pay an income tax on its earnings.
h. It has an artificial/juridical "person", endowed with the ability for self-management, and has a Board of Directors as
chief governing authority.
All partners of a partnership have input regarding how the company's resources are used and other important business
decisions.
In a partnership business, all partners are responsible for making decisions that will impact the business. This may provide
multiple viewpoints, which could potentially lead to better business decisions.
The sole proprietor can maintain complete control over all aspects of the business.
Corporations have an advantage when it comes to raising capital for the business-the ability to raise funds through the
issuance of stock.
