was limited to a number of prevailing factor in dynamic and ever changing environment
which are discussed and follow:
The research, therefore, decide to
Cadbury Nigeria Plc due to the fact that other companies in this country can
not be studied with the available short period.
The financial constraints inherent in
traveling from one to another made it inevitable to choose one organization as
