Background of the Study
In the early 1980’s the San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and A. Soriano Corporation (ANSCOR)
Group of Companies, under the leadership of Andres Soriano, Jr. addressed a long felt need for
an effective formal planning system for the two companies.
According to Soriano, the companies had developed their budgeting and long-ranged planning
systems several years earlier but, despite the many advantages these gave them they still were
not satisfied with their ability to respond to the rapid changes in the environment around them.
The therefore, search for a process that would enable them to upgrade their planning
capability.
In November 1982, Dr. Lorange addressed a joint dinner-meeting of SMC and ANSCOR Group
and shares his insights on the implementation of the strategic planning of the two companies.
Following are excerpts from an article prepared by Lorange during the meeting.
