CASE STUDY NO. 6

THE ABC TRAINING PROGRAM

The ABC Corporation has been engaged in the manufacture of electronic components
for automobiles for the last five years. The company employs 350 employees and about 30
supervisors and managers. The increase in technology requires the employees to be sent to
training to cope with the increasing demand for updated new products consistent with the
demand of local and foreign customers.

The HR Manager suggested that three of the managers and eight supervisors be sent to
the mother company in Japan for updates in technology on car electronics. The vice president
for finance and the operation manager opposed the recommendation on the basis of cost-
cutting and lack of personnel to handle the operations while they were away for two months.
They suggested that technicians from the mother company be invited instead to handle the
training in the Philippines. The cost of training by the mother company would double the cost
of training as they are paid higher allowances and salaries that will be charged to the local
company.
