HILLBILLY CABLE COMPANY: All Kinds of Everything

The adjoining towns of Gapan, San Isidro, and Cabiao in Nueva Ecija were identified by Mr. Rodolfo Fajardo as
the right as the right area for the proposed company: The Hillbilly Cable Company. Together with two other
former classmates, Efren Puyat and Lamberto Buluran, they were able to raise more than Php1 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 will have to work out is the organizational set-up of the firm. The partners
agreed that the structure will depend on the various activities inherent to the firm. So, they sat down and prepared
a list of the activities involved which are as follows:

1. Soliciting subscriptions
2. Installing cable connections to the subscriber’s homes
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
14. Driving the service vehicles of the company

The partners want to produce an organization chart and job description of the various positions that will be
identified. However, they find it a little difficult to begin drawing the chart.
