Case 6.

NORTHERN CONTAINER CORPORATION: Time to Cry

Reasons leading to the problem:
Northern Container Corporation is quite a new company, having been
operating for five years still and that their company is in need of customers which
would likely be doing business with them in a long-term basis. And here comes the
Red Ribbon Manufacturing Corporation headed by Mr. Tapiador which had already
made a verbal agreement with Engr. Monsod to order tin cans from the company.
However, Engr. Monsod was taken aback after receiving a letter from RRMC that
they will no longer pursue the deal because they already have dealt with another
supplier.
Suggested solutions to the problem:
1. Engr. Monsod should make the marketing in-charge explain why did it
happen that the RRMC has not received any response from their company
about the deal which made them deal with another supplier.
2. Engr. Monsod should remind all the personnel in the company about their
jobs and encourage them to be more responsible to avoid such
circumstance happen again.
3. Engr. Monsod should require all the departments in the company a regular
report so that he could be aware of how the company is going and that he
could find out if there are lapses that are undertaken.
Best solution:
First of all, Engr. Monsod should meet with the marketing in-charge and make
him/her explain what has happened why did it happen that the RRMC has not
received any response from their company about the deal which made them deal
with another supplier. Engr. Monsod should require all the departments in the
company a regular report so that he could be aware of how the company is going
and that he could find out if there are lapses that are undertaken.
This problem should never happen again or else the company will have to
sacrifice and lay-off workers. Proper management and constant monitoring should
be done. Effective communication should take place as well.
Conclusion:
It is indeed important in a company to always have the sense of responsibility
among its employees. Proper management and constant monitoring is indeed an
imperative. Furthermore, proper communication should take place in the company
to avoid lapses and other problems that might affect greatly the company and its
management.
 Case 7: BATANGAS POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE: The Morning After

FACTS
Engineer Felicidad Lazaro, a mechanical engineering graduate of Adamson University, is
operating her auto parts supply business while teaching at the Batangas Polytechnic College.
After years of teaching, she earned the chairmanship of the Mechanical Engineering Department.
Time came the dean decided to leave for a job abroad making her the new dean of the College
of Engineering.
Engineer Lazaro’s first concern was to fill up the slots left by five faculty members whore
signed. However, only ten applicants came up, almost all fresh graduates with no any job
experience. Another concern is the rapid increase of the students in the college. To make the
matter worse, two of the senior members of the college resigned for a job offer from other
company. Engineer Lazaro is now contemplating how she will survive the crisis.

.ISSUE/PROBLEM
Engineer Lazaro being the dean of the College of Engineering is now facing a very
serious problem as the number of engineering faculty becomes insufficient with the growing
number of students. Also keeping the faculty members satisfied with their job is another concern.

OBJECTIVES1.

 What qualifications would be the basis of hiring the additional faculty members
considering that all applicants have no teaching experience?

 How can the existing faculty members be motivated in doing their teaching
profession?

SOLUTION/RECOMMENDATION
1. Considering that all applicants have no teaching experience, their school performance can
be one of the bases in hiring additional faculties. Their willingness and motivation to
teach should also be taken into account.
2. Motivating the existing faculty members to stick in the teaching profession is a hard task
in the case of Engineer Lazaro. One way of doing this is by having a good relationship
between the faculty members. Also, providing trainings and seminars for career
enhancement not only in teaching but also in their field can be a good way of motivating
them.

PROBLEM

experience or the things he has learned regarding their line of work. He could also organize anew
