CASE 4 HILLBILLY CABLE COMPANY:

The adjoining towns of GAPAN, SAN ISIDRO, AND CABIAO IN NUEVA

ECIJA were identified by Mr. Rodolfo Fajardo as the right area for the proposed
company: The Hillbilly Cable Company. Together with two former classmates,
EFREN PUYAT AND LAMBERTO BULURAN, they were able to raise more
than P1 million as initial capital.
The trio initially determined the market and technical feasibility of the
project. They were satisfied with their findings. The last aspect that they had to
work out was the organizational set-up of the firm. The partners agreed that the
structure would depend on the various activities inherent to the firm. So, they
set down and prepared a list of the activities involved which are as follows:

1. soliciting subscriptions;
2. installing cable connections to the subscribers’ home;
3. billing subscribers;
4. bookkeeping and related matters;
5. procurement of transmission rights;
6. actual operation of the network;
7. receiving payments from subscribers;
8. repair and maintenance of facilities;
9. disbursement of funds;
10. coordination of the various activities;
11. securing the office and transmission facilities;
12. typing and filing;
13. delivering subscribers’ bills; and
14. driving the service vehicles of the company.

The partners wanted to produce an organization chart and job descriptions of

the various positions that will be identified. However, they were finding it a little
difficult to begin drawing the chart.

CASE 5 LIGHTHOUSE INSURANCE COMPANY:

Help Me Make It Through the Night

The LightHouse Insurance Company was founded in 1970. It is

engaged in selling nonlife policies specially those related to fire and allied lines,
motor, car, marine, personal accident, bonds, and miscellaneous lines. The
company is a stock corporation with 51 branches all over the Philippines from
Northern Luzon to Southern Mindanao. It employs a total of 305 employees
manning the head office in Makati City and all the branches.

The company’s Human Resource Department is composed of five

employees including its head, Ms. Emerenciana Soriano. The department
maintains a file of the company’s record of personnel. The branch managers are
responsible for recruiting branch personnel who are trained at the head office
from one week to one month. When the position of branch manager(BM)
becomes vacant, the general manager pulls someone out from the Marketing
Department to fill the vacancy.
The performance of new branch managers is lackluster in the first few
months. After a year, their performance improves, or they fail totally.
When a BM’s position become vacant, the HRD immediately coordinates
with the Vice President for Marketing and without much fuss, facilitates the
transfer of the most senior of the eligible to assure the BM’s post.
This year, the vacancies for the BM’s are unusually higher than last year.
Last year’s vacancy for BM consisted of only one and it was immediately filled.
At the beginning of the third quarter of this year, six vacancies have already
occurred of which only three could be filled. After five months, still no suitable
replacements could fill the other three vacancies.
Ms. Soriano is now thinking of the best move to solve the problem.
