Mastersplinter: You have a point but the question asked for how to pull the working class to become your major market. I agree that the creme de la creme probably are more resident in Abuja but they are not necessarily 'working class' and are less in percentage than say Lagos. Look at it this way, if 3 million people live in Abuja only about 700 might be considered bourgeois and say 3000 might be considered working class. The rest will be largely artisans and low income earners that work menial jobs for the 700 and are less likely to patronise the restaurant baring in mind that like Lagos there are also other restaurants (albeit not as much as Lagos). Meanwhile Lagos evidently has more working class people than any other state mentioned. 1 Like |

PrinceofParis: Very sensible and well thought out. The competition was supposed to help improve my own services. There was a Shoprite franchise in Ibadan and I understand it had to be closed down even if it was the only high-tech grocery store in the state yet regardless of the many mini marts and markets in Lagos Shoprite continues to thrive and your guess is as good as mine in knowing why that is so: 1) the target market is being met as it enjoys patronage from the working class and 2) competition has helped them improve their services. 1 Like |

PrinceofParis: Also in PHC things like raw material are relatively more expensive than when compared with Lagos. That extra cost will eventually find itself in the cost of the food which will be a turn off for more students thereby being somewhat counter productive. 2 Likes |

PrinceofParis: But banks start in one state and with eventual success they branch out. It is always better to manage and grow your franchise within a region before expanding. You do have very good points though. I am just nitpicking. 2 Likes |

drKally: You have all made valid points. Since i'm an accountant, i'd be concerned with two things. Maximising profit and minimising cost. My first choice would be Uniben, because of the following reasons. I agree with point 1. Point 2 is debatable. Point 3 is part of the reason it should succeed in Lagos. There are emerging markets and competition for delivering LNG around the world. Is NLNG handicapped by that fact or is there better motivation to compete and conquer new territories? Point 4 too is flawed. Labour is cheap when it is high in supply and lower in demand which it is in Lagos. On the contrary with Benin where the Demand will outweigh the supply thereby increasing the cost of Labour. At the end it appears Benin might not be an expedient location as projected. 1 Like |

DPlacement: Placing dplacement in quote means you were part of those recruited in 2007, but you had another ID then; A case of same person but diFferent personality. Seeing that you registered this username in 2008, It is only logical that u dropped the old username to assume a new personality on Nairaland. Perhaps you still use the old name to post on other threads, but you login with this account to post on this thread. This is a good move you know, most times it is best one "hides in the shadow". Maybe when I get the job, I will be forced to open another account say with the name "Dapplication"; sounds cute right? Lol Kindly correct me if my analogy above is wrong. Bless you 6 Likes |

House, abeg make we free Dplacement. One thing is that the guy has info and IMO that's all that should matter to us. Perhaps some think it would increase their chances if he happens to be in a position to influence the recruitment exercise, in which case I'll blame Dplacement for calling himself 'Dplacement'. You should be Dinformation or something. Personally, I think the only info I'll be needing from the oracle as I progress is the schedule for the subsequent stage. So right now the question is when should we expect our shl results? 1 Like |

Savant:well you are right if its LNG we are discussing about, but in that question we are not told that its NLNG that wants to set up the restaurant, Infact, it was silent about the promoter, its only logical to respond to it like a new entrant into the market without any goodwill. Perhaps the restaurant is being set up by NLNG, it would be the first time they would be venturing to this area of business. The key to expansion in business, is to start where there is a possibility of dominating the market, then expanding to other competitive environments, when we have a strong capital base.

Well I would choose UNIPORT and PORT HARCOURT. Why UNIPORT? The school enjoys a relative high number of students in a remote village unlike the others mentioned. The restauran will enjoy a long term monopoly and few competition unlike a restaurant in unilag which is situated in commerial town of yaba. Ther is a ready market in this region. WHY POrtharcourt The GDP per head in Port harcourt is higher than those of Lagos state and Abuja. This implies that an average resident of PH is likely to patronize the restaurant despite the cost of service than any resident in other state. Comparing the number of working class in the oil sector (the mainstream of the Nigerian Economy) in these regions, you will agree with me that PH has a relatively higher number which earned it the Moniker, the Oyel City. The number margin will be a plus to the success of the restaurant. U guys have said it all, your opinions are plausible, jux adding my own to yours. My argument cud be untenable or dubious please address the flaws. Rmb The aim is to convince the company (interviewers) or in this case US ( nairalanders) . #Typin with some kinda fone sha# 2 Likes |

Savant: I hope u are not implying that working class is restricted to the 9 -5 guys. Even the creme dela creme can also be considered working class includding politicians. Most of the big wigs also have companies on the side which are mostly run by their children. Working class also includes contractors etc and not only those who suit up. Stiff competiton which we are bound to encounter in lagos is something that cripples businesses even the big ones. Ask Dangote why he lobbied for a govt backed monopoly in most of his businesses. As a new name in the gaame, we are less likely to make a mark in the saturated market of lagos faster than in Abuja and this will affect our break even Time. I still maintain that the disposable income of Abuja is higher than most places even for the people who do menial jobs. For instance compare the cost of washing a car in Abuja to that of lagos. That carwasher in Abuja would definately Have more money to spend on eating than his colleague in lagos. My point is that the cost of labour especially for menial jobs which are more dominant than whitecollar jobs is generally higher in Abuja than lagos thus leaving the workers with more to spend in Abuja. Also I am forgetting the cost of raw materials too. Readymade food is more expensive in abuja but the actuall foodstuffs is cheaper and of bettter quality partly due to its proximity to Benue State which is the food basket of the nation and known for foodstuffs of superior quality. Thus cheaper raw materials is another factor favouring Abuja as well 1 Like |

Thanks to princeofparis for sharing. And to all those that shared their views on how to answer the questions. I however believe in the real AC more info will be given like charts, graphs and other data. My reasons is, not everybody has been to uniben, unilag, uniport, Lagos, Abuja and ... It will be unreasonableto make people answer questions based on personal.openion rather than facts. Just my thoughts though. However, doesn't mean we shouldn't share how to tackle this problems.

My thoughts exactly. Most of these ACs dont expect that you use your prior knowledge to tackle these questions. Rather you are given data and facts to help you draw your recommendations and deliver in a structured manner. Notwithstanding, lots of smart people here with great views on the question posed. AC competition is gonna be LIVE!!!!! autumnflower: Thanks to princeofparis for sharing. And to all those that shared their views on how to answer the questions. |

Savant:Also while reducing cost and maximizing profit, you will have to do some Quality control to beat competition (more cost) and to give room for expansion if that's another primary objective of the sponsoring company. Sometimes your sponsor may have profit as a long term goal but expansion, quality and establishment as short term goals. Using a new secondary school in Festac as an example, the owner of the school will take big profit to be a long term goal and though he will try to minimize cost, he will not do that at the detriment of his investment. |
