Statistics The number of printing enterprise created in the one year gap is only one enterprise difference. It shows not many entrepreneurs have thought about investing in providing printing services. Operating revenue and expenditure has also dropped. Not many changes in stock has been made in 2001 compared to year 2000 We can conclude that the existing printing company are either just earning the fixed income and not pushing on getting more.
Number of Enterprises, Employees and Total Compensation by Type of Business Activity, 2000 and 2001, Brunei Darussalam According to the statistics above, the total number of employment from 2000 to 2001 has dropped by 20 people while the overall economic activities has risen instead, by 2862 people. This shows that the printing industries are retrenching their business structure. They are trying to redesign the process in order to improve operation. One of the way is to cut the layers of the organization structure. This can be supported by seeing the salaries and wages are increased instead. The workers who are not made redundant will have more work and thus given more monetary reward in return.
Total Operating Expenditure by Kind of Economic Activity, 2000 and 2001, Brunei Darussalam From the tables, we can see drops on most of the aspects. We can conclude that printing companies are trying to reduce expenditures than last year to prevent over spending to reduce losses. We can notice that even the cost of production is reduced. We conclude that they are reducing the number of products produced. Probably, Just In Time strategy is one of many ways to help to reduce unnecessary expenditures.
Total Operating Revenue by Type of Business Activity, 2000 and 2001, Brunei Darussalam From the statistics above, sales for finished goods and goods for resale fell quite drastically. This show poor income for the printing company. It might due to increased competitors and rivals or poor economic environment nowadays. We can see that they are drawing themselves out and staying in the comfort zone by earning the fixed amount of income.
