The paper provides a regional analysis of areas in which the expansion can occur.

From the Paper:

"Currently, the majority of management initiatives within Riordan Manufacturing have been isolated to Human Resources and through cultivating strong relationships with customers. The company developed and implemented a two-year plan that would significantly increase its earning revenue through sales by 2006, with an end goal of reaching the $50 million revenue mark. As the fiscal year has not yet concluded, there is still time to reach this goal; however, despite economic slowdown in the second and third quarters, the company remains positioned to meet this mark."
