Gene One aims at making a 40% positive growth and sales each year for the coming three years. The company aims at developing and marketing the Gene One technology products that minimize the need for pesticides. In order to achieve development, marketing and creation of new products, the company will require additional funding for the whole process to be realized. To get the necessary funding, the company needs to go public through IPO. This will ensure the company’s credibility and capital acquisition derived from being public trading company.
In conclusion, in order to achieve the desired results from the IPO, several adjustments in the company’s management and marketing departments will have to be implemented. A marketing manager with the business expertise and experience to design the infrastructure needed for the support of the IPO must be hired. The company will also have to bring on board experts on IPO’s and trading market shares. There is also a need to lay off of workers with a rigid passion and those without a competitive spirit.
