...Freshwater Fisheries Department From: C06, Executive Assistant to Mr. D M Patankar Date: 10 April 2010 Subject: Recommendation report for solving the problem of continuing deficits Please find the enclosed recommendation report that presents a comprehensive analysis of the current situation, lists the key options and the criteria used for evaluation, and suggests recommendations with an action plan for the future. I recommend that PAPFISH should remove existing inefficiencies in the operations of the van project. This is to be done by discarding the position of the inspector and incentivizing the driver to perform the roles of both the driver and the inspector. Also, the break times should be reduced from 4 hours to 2 hours. Yours sincerely, C06 Executive Summary Mr. D M Patankar is considering whether to continue the van activity, and the changes required if continued. He may choose removing existing inefficiencies by increasing work hours, discarding the inspector’s position, and incentivizing the driver to function as both the driver and the inspector. Or, he may stop the operation of vans 1 and 3, and continue operating van 2, which is earning a profit. Otherwise, he can discontinue the van project and construct the fish mall. It is recommended that he increase the work hours, discard the inspectors, and incentivize the drivers for a dual role.

In any treatment of a basic subject like this, there is little that the resource/anchor person can claim to be uniquely his own except his/her tacit knowledge and the presentation style. The write-ups from chapters of recommended text books for this course has also been included and are highly acknowledged. The Intellectual Heritage of Management: Organized endeavors directed by people responsible for planning, organizing, leading, and controlling activities have existed for thousands of years. The Egyptian pyramids and the Great Wall of China, for instance, are tangible evidence that projects of tremendous scope, employing tens of thousands of people, were undertaken well before modern times. The pyramids are a particularly interesting example. The construction of a single pyramid occupied more than 100,000 workers for 20 years. Who told each worker what to do? Who ensured that there would be enough stones at the site to keep workers busy? The answer to such questions is managers. Regardless of what managers were called at the time, someone had to plan what was to be done, organize people and materials to do it, lead and direct the workers, and impose some controls to ensure that everything...

...ARE TOP EXECUTVES WORTH WHAT THEY ARE PAID? Introduction “Republic Bank Executives getting million$- Workers Getting Crumbs!!”- This is at a time when Bank Directors fees are increased by 85 percent to nearly 1 million dollars in one year alone (Trinidad Guardian, February 25,2011). “While Republic Bank Biggies could look forward to a bigger parting gift than $10 Million and FATTER PENSION(BIGGER BANK/BIGGEST PROFITS=BIGGER GIFT/FATTEST PENSION) , a republic bank worker after 30 years service gets an average MONTHLY PENSION OF $2,400.00 and a pat on the back.” It is headlines like the one stated above that continues to bombard the media in recent times. Executive remuneration is one of the most hotly debated topics in the Human Resource (HR) world. Bergmann and Scapello (2002) argue that during the reign of Julius Caesar, centurions received attractive incentives. However, they stressed that longevity of an idea does not mean a lack of controversy surrounding it. In the aftermath of the financial crash and recession 2007-2009, the debate of the executive compensation again has surfaced to the forefront by the media and became the hot issue for academicians, researchers, regulators, policy makers and public. The purpose of this paper is to clearly discuss the issue of executive compensation by presenting arguments for and against it. While there has been an undisputed escalation in Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) pay and in comparison to the earnings of “average” workers...

Acut, Jr. and Mylene Garcia-Albano co-counsel for petitioner. PARAS, J.:p We are faced here with a controversy of far-reaching proportions. While ostensibly only legal issues are involved, the Court's decision in this case would indubitably have a profound effect on the political aspect of our national existence. The 1987 Constitution provides in Section 1 (1), Article IX-C: There shall be a Commission on Elections composed of a Chairman and six Commissioners who shall be natural-born citizens of the Philippines and, at the time of their appointment, at least thirty-five years of age, holders of a college degree, and must not have been candidates for any elective position in the immediately preceding -elections. However, a majority thereof, including the Chairman, shall be members of the Philippine Bar who have been engaged in the practice of law for at least ten years. (Emphasis supplied) The aforequoted provision is patterned after Section l(l), Article XII-C of the 1973 Constitution which similarly provides: There shall be an independent Commission on Elections composed of a Chairman and eight Commissioners who...
