CASE 6. 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 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 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 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 organizational chart and job descriptions of the
various positions that will be identified. However, they find it a little difficult to begin
drawing the chart.
QUESTIONS:
1. If you were assigned to draw the organizational chart of the firm, how will it
appear?
2. How would you divide the organization into units? What units will be formed?
