GROUP 1: TEAM ASTIG

CASE STUDY NO: 2
Organization Management

Case Background

Mr. Pedro de la Cruz was strongly recommended by Mayor Punongbayan to

work at the ABC Company located in the municipality. Mr. Dela Cruz was a new
graduate of management of the local municipal university where the mayor himself as
the president. His transcripts of records reveal that he is an average student and had no
extracurricular activity in school. His father happens to be a supporter of the mayor in
his political career. Mr. Dela Cruz took the examination given by the company and he
failed to make it due to his poor communication skills.

To give in the mayor’s request, the human resource manager gave him a position
in the production department as a machine operator and not a clerical position that the
mayor would like him to have. But Mr. Dela Cruz did not want to accept the position and
insisted that he should get the job because of the mayor’s recommendation.
