Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad is an investment holding company that was established in 1997. The company consists of subsidiaries that focus primarily on the water treatment and water distribution industry. Aside from that, the company lists oil and gas industry and the research and development of water, wastewater and environmental solutions as other core businesses (Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad [PNHB], n.d.). The company appears to be an example of an oligopoly market structure. One of the reasons Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad is seen to exist in such a structure is due to the fact that it is one of the few dominating firms in its own market, even though there are still many firms in that specific market thus making it an oligopolistic firm. Puncak Niaga mainly caters to the state of Selangor, the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya (PNHB, n.d.). In terms of water supply and distribution in areas such as Selangor, two of Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad’s subsidiaries, Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (SYABAS) and Puncak Niaga Sdn Bhd, essentially crowd the market with two other firms, Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn. Bhd. (Splash), and Konsortium Abass Sdn Bhd (Mohamad, Mustafa, Wan-Sobri, n.d.). In terms of water treatment, Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad is the country’s second largest water company (PNHB, n.d). Aside from that, the company’s main product, which is treated water, has no discernible differences when compared to the treated water of other water companies thus making it a homogenous product, which is another element of an oligopolistic market structure (Layton, Robinson, Tucker, 2012). In addition, there are many formidable barriers to entry in place in the water industry that allow... ... middle of paper ... ...on of high quality standards, efficient services, human capital development, innovative technologies and operational system. However, they had to put aside their minds to look out at their competitors in the market. As the economy grows, more and more people who start engaging in many new businesses, which would make competition, strive stronger. The Malaysian Water Association is another competitor for Puncak Niaga. Both firms work to supply water to consumers. In order to prevent other firms from advancing, Puncak Niaga does its best such as monitoring it’s competitor’s pricing and changing their prices and lowering when neccessary, which leads to more sales and revenue coming in, as more people start to choose Puncak Niaga as their main water provider. Therefore, this helps Puncak Niaga stay ahead of its competition and allows it to grow as a company.

Du Pont is organized into ten industrial departments. The department responsible for TiO2, the pigments department, is the second smallest of the ten departments. The revenue for this department in 1971 is $180 million which represent only 4.68% of Du Pont’s revenue. Although there is a considerable risk associated with the growth strategy, the committee is willing to grow this department because it is one of the smallest departments for du Pont, and the company performing so well financially as a whole. This leads us to the conclusion that the growth strategy should be pursued. Du Pont can afford to take a risk on this strategy given the small impact this department has on their associated financials, not to mention that the returns with the growth strategy are superior to the maintain strategy.
