41-50. Ricardo Cortez and Josie Hernandez were partners in a footwear factory in
Marikina. They had 200 workers in the 1990s, who helped them manufacture different
designs of shoes, slippers, etc… which they displayed and sold by the thousands in
their store at the Cubao Expo. They were considered very successful at that time.
Their footwear business slowed down when low-priced Chinese she imports
became popular in the Philippine market. Ricardo and Josie often quarrelled about
money matters and management styles. Ricardo had more entrepreneurial
characteristics: creative/innovative, flexible, updated on new trends, and was willing to

take risks. Josie belonged to the “old school” of businessmen we could not understand
Recardo’s propositions regarding the rehabilitation of their business: getting business
loans, introducing unique footwear designs, opening “tiangge” stalls, online selling, etc.
She was contented with the small profits they were making.
Since their business is a partnership, Ricardo cannot carry his plans without
Josie’s content. Josie’s pessimism, for him, is unacceptable and he foresees the closure
of their business in a few more years if Josie will go on with her way of thinking.
Questions:
1. If you are in Recardo’s place, what will you do to solve their business problem?
Explain your answer.
2. In the future, what legal form of business would you like to set up? Explain your
answer.
