Choice Seshiedoe Student Answer/Post:: PPO is a small family owned business which began in 1998. Owned by Abdul Tengku, PPO has three Palm Oil Plantations in Borneo in the Kilimaten region. The first of PPO’s plantations planted in 1998 is 1500 hectares in size and yields 6.5 tons per hectare. The second plantation planted in 2006 is 2,000 hectares and yields 7.25 tons per hectares. The newest plantation is only 6 years old and is the biggest at 3,500 hectares (Company’s Profile, 2019).
Step 1 – Identify the Goal or Problem that Requires a Decision. The first step in the decision-making process is to identify the decision that PPO is facing (Universal class, n.d). PPO is now faced with the following financial and Customer challengers.
· The second oldest plantation is beginning to reach the peak time for productivity but in 6 more years the trees will begin to reach full maturity and production will decline.
· The largest plantation is immature and will not bring in a strong yield for another 3 to 4 years.
· While prices are still strong the market is going down.
· PPO has not received its government certification as a sustainable producer because it is not yet able to pay the costs of needed changes for qualification (estimated at $1 million dollars) having just repaid its government loans.
· The loss of contracted customers would threaten his financial success.
The Decision Statement should be for PPO’s dilemma: How PPO will be keep their business Profitable at the same time retain their customers.

Applered Sargeant Student Answer/Post:: Initial Ideas
Decision making is a central responsibility of managers and leaders to include a production plantation manager for PPO. Considering the attacks from the large number of activist groups and the necessary replanting of plantations and sustainability certification, how should PPO proceed in the coming year in order to remain profitable especially with the gap between planting new trees and immature trees able to produce oil?
Triggers or Opportunity
Current triggers that are positioning the production plan manager into a situation where the decision-making model is necessary includes, attacks from all the activist groups Consumers Against Palm Oil (CAPO), the negative stigma surrounding palm oil farming is growing at a high rate, and market has decline across the board. CAPO has recent launched attacks against PPO and other similar oil companies to raise awareness of the effects of palm oil plantations on the rainforest and Orangutans population that is expected to be extinct in 2050; the organization also encourages customers to boycott palm oil all together (Gonchar, 2017). These attacks as well as the negative stigma of palm oil farming severely threaten PPO’s future state.
Consumers are being urged to reduce consumption of palm oil which is referred to as the “Miracle Crop” (Yan, 2017, p. 1). Studies show that fires associated with palm oil plantations are responsible for destroying the habitats of orangutans, pollution, and harm to humans to include over 100,000 deaths (France-Presse, 2016, p. 1). Furthermore, the market for PPO is declining; PPO experienced a decrease in revenue of 9.2% this year alone (Gonchar, 2017, p. 11).
Palm oil is known to be an efficient use for farming land as well as a large contributor to national economies like Malaysia, Indonesia and India (SPOTT, 2016). These strong arguments for the use of palm oil combined with a sustainability certificate could lead to growth for PPO. Large American and European companies are calling upon palm oil producers to adhere to environmental protecting laws. Lastly, PPO already owns the land where its plantations are located. Thus, PPO does not need to contribute to deforestation in order to continue with palm oil production.
