The research paper "Assessment of the Income-Generating Enterprises of Isabela State University" by Jemuel R. Garcia was conducted to evaluate the current status and performance of the income-generating enterprises of Isabela State University (ISU) located in the Philippines. The paper aimed to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the ISU's income-generating enterprises and to provide recommendations for improvements.
The paper used a mixed-method approach consisting of both qualitative and quantitative methods to collect the necessary data. The qualitative data were gathered through interviews with key informants, while the quantitative data were collected through a survey questionnaire administered to the employees of the ISU's income-generating enterprises.
The study found that the ISU's income-generating enterprises were performing well financially, but there were areas that needed improvement. Specifically, the paper found that there was a lack of coordination among the different income-generating enterprises, and there was a need to improve the marketing strategies to reach a wider audience. The study also recommended that the ISU should further improve the quality of its products and services, and that the university should consider establishing additional income-generating enterprises to diversify its revenue streams.
Overall, the research paper provides valuable insights into the performance of the ISU's income-generating enterprises and provides practical recommendations for improvement. It can be a useful resource for other universities and organizations seeking to evaluate and enhance their own income-generating enterprises.
