Therefore, the plants of the cement factory are generally located at Berrima and Maldon in New South Wales and Warn ponds in Victoria (Fuller, 2002). On may 12 2004, the Australian Competition and consumer commission declared that the proposed acquisition of ABL by Boral BLD would have the effect of sustainability lessening competition in the market for the purpose of supplying cement and concrete masonry products in Australia. Therefore, this particular corporation declared their intentions to make an offer for the purpose of acquiring the entire ordinary shares.

The Boral BLD is the only company which has the power to produce, supply and sell the products in an effective manner (Keown, 2008).

The builders practice the use of strong and durable raw materials along with other building materials while they confined the cost of maintenance in a low level. The Boral BLD has a high quality of thermal performance with the combination of good design principles. They not only maintain the standards of their raw materials at a quality level but also maintain their acoustic performances well. The set their buildings secure from any kind of accidents and makes the total set up fire resistant. Their designs are also flexible as per the needs of the consumers.

Weakness: Sometimes the raw materials supplied by the suppliers are not up to the standards. The lack of the maintenance also acts as the weakness of the building sector. The innovative designs as per the demands of the consumers sometimes results in fragile construction of the projects, the breakdown of which witnesses the damage of the company’s goodwill.

The innovation in the working fields helps the company to attract new clients and the growth of the company gets energized (Shapiro, 2009). The governments of the countries also provide its detailed support for the work process of the company and the company gets new projects in new dimensions in several places.

The flaws in the designs cause the disruption of the company’s good will and the results in the breakdown of the buildings. The strategies of the key opponents must be neutralized in proper period of time remain sustain in the market.

The corporate governance generally involves a collection of relationships between the management of the company, the board member along with the coagulation of stakeholders and the shareholders. The company practices its allocated works following the guidelines set by the corporate governance and merges its strategies and ideas and objectives of success and the total work process gets totally monitored through it ( Keown, 2008). The Boral BLD maintains its total working process by the acknowledgements from its governing bodies to its shareholders. They perform both the long term relationships as well as the transactional relationships at a proper balanced state. The Boral BLD daily checks their system and maintains a proper balance in their working culture and practice a highly improved communication system in between the managements and the investors in the long term relationships.  The Boral BLD deals with the maintenance of the accurate compliance with the implementable legal and regulatory requirements by the virtue of which the company maintains its working activities.

Therefore, the impact of the government regulations does not have an effect over the corporation because this particular company is been referred as the registered company and thereby it pays all the taxes relating with the taxation process. The main competitors of the corporation is the leading brand of the product because as mentioned above this particular company has the power to produce and supply their products so it has been competed with the leading brands of the company.

The project not only helps to gather the information’s of the company but it helps to generate an overview about the total working process of the company. The internal work culture and the business strategies of the company get analyzed in details. The strengths of the company along with the weakness led a total emphasis in the company’s background and help them to clear their weakness and strengthen their structure of development. The opportunities will surely help to strategize their future goals and the ways of developments and to come out with proper remedies to nullify the threats of the company.
