Izusu PH
Isuzu in the Philippines

More changes took place in the following decades, leading to the creation of Isuzu Motors Pilipinas in 1989. It is fully owned by Isuzu Motors Limited in Japan.
August 7, 1995 marked the birth of Isuzu Philippines Corporation, a forging of forces among Isuzu Motors Limited, Mitsubishi Corporation, Ayala Corporation and Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation.
More than 13 hectares of industrial land located at the Laguna Technopark in Biñan, Laguna now holds the company’s manufacturing facilities capable of producing 15,000 units annually through a modest yet productive work force.
Isuzu Philippines Corporation is guided by its corporate slogan “Your responsible partner”. This is evident in the implementation of the company’s policies and thrusts.
Even after 50 years, Isuzu continues to be at the forefront of helping the country move forward with tried, tested and trusted commercial vehicles and diesel engines. This tradition lives on as Isuzu provides first-rate customer service, boosts employee satisfaction and promotes social responsibility.

Giving back to the community
The environment and education are the pillars of IPC’s corporate social responsibility program. Giving back to the community is part of the company’s annual plan of activities. Each year, a Corporate Social Responsibility program on the conservation of the environment is implemented. Since 2002, IPC celebrates its anniversary outside the office, involved in activities to help the environment.

* 2002 Started an environmental advocacy with students, mounting a puppet show with an environmental theme staged in Binan and Sta. Rosa, Laguna. * 2003 Donated 10,000 fingerlings, which was seeded into Laguna de Bay to increase its fish population. IPC also donated a river garbage trap to Sta. Rosa town. The project was implemented in partnership with the Laguna Lake Development Authority. * 2004 Donated a two-classroom building to the Binan National High School in Laguna. The building replaced the “open classrooms” in the school’s cafeteria where classrooms were separated by blackboards. The ratio then was one classroom to 80 students. * 2005 Launched a tree-planting program in Quezon Province dubbed, “ISUlong and Kalikasan!” (“Nurture Nature”). Quezon Province had recently been devastated by flash floods. The project created a forest strip along the highway in the hills of Atimonan with a donation of 10,000 seedlings, then declared a forest reserve to ensure that the narra trees wouldn’t be cut and sold when full-grown. In Infanta and Real, IPC donated 5,000 narra seedlings for planting. * 2006 Adopted a five-hectare mangrove in Alaminos, Pangasinan, and in Quezon Island, in the Hundred Islands cluster. Despite the downpour, IPC executives and friends motored to the island and planted the mangrove trees, which provides food and medicinal herbs for the community. IPC also donated flowering plants, and environmental and directional signs. * 2007 Expanded the scope of its CSR program to a national level with the Parks Conservation Campaign that included public parks in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Three public parks were recepients of new ornamental plants, garbage receptacles and environment reminder signs, namely Rizal Park in Manila, the Fuente Osmena Park in Cebu City, and the Pole’s Park in Davao City. * 2008 Opened the Isuzu-TESDA Auto Mechanic Training Center in Tacloban, Leyte, which offers educational opportunities to deserving students. * The school is supported by Isuzu Motors Ltd of Japan, IPC, and Isuzu Auto Parts Manufacturing Corporation, and trains the students to obtain the National Certificate Level IV of TESDA. It produces an average of 80 graduates a year, all of them housed for free in dormitories inside the training center compound. IPC donated a 2008 NHR passenger van while Isuzu Motors Ltd. turned over a Crosswind XTi to be used as shuttle service. * Isuzu Motors funded the school, now run by Plan International and TESDA, with a $3-million donation. IPC donated a 2008 NHR passenger van, while Isuzu Motors Ltd turned over a Crosswind XTi to TESDAS to be used as a shuttle service to employees and students.

* IPC gave back to the children in Hospicio de San Jose in Manila, the Children’s Joy Foundation in Canlubang, and the Urchins Street Kids in Paranaque by distributing sacks of rice, canned goods, food boxes—as well as good cheer through clowns and magic shows—to the orphans. * Also adopted 11 hectares of the forest in La Mesa Watershed project of the ABS-CBN Foundation. The company’s donation was used to rehabilitate the forest through the Bantay Kalikasan section of the Foundation. * 2009 Launched “The Road to 2020”, a campaign initiated by Haribon Foundation, which aims to restore one million hectares of the country’s rainforests by 2020. This reforestation project brought IPC executives, media friends and volunteers together to plant 3000 seedlings in the area. * 5000 native tree species were donated by IPC to various rainforests in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, as well as 2000 seedlings in Tabunan Watershed in Cebu, and in Mt. Diwata and Hilong-Hilong in Surigao del Sur. * The Isuzu Auto Mechanic Training Center was named the “Kabalikat Awardee” by TESDA. Isuzu Motors Limited of Japan was honored as the overall or national awardee in the industry category, and the regional level for establishing the training center in Tacloban. This year, a total of 75 scholars were in the training center. * Ondoy, one of the worst typhoons that blew into the Philippines, brought much destruction to Metro Manila and its neighboring provinces. IPC immediately responded to the emergency situation by distributing relief goods to 800 families in barangays in Cabuyao, near Binan. * The floods also destroyed hundreds of motor vehicles. IPC offered assistance to owners of Isuzu vehicles that were damaged by the floodwaters, through discounts for labor and parts, and easy-payment schemes. * 2010 Adopted thirteen hectares of a forest reserve in Mt. Makiling. Over three years, 300 native trees will be planted within the 13 hectares. The funding for the project includes the construction of a 1.3-km walkway inside the Makiling Botanical Garden. * In November, the Isuzu-TESDA Auto Mechanic Training Center graduated its first batch of 25 scholars who earned four national certificates recognized by government and private agencies, which increases their chances at finding better jobs. As a start, 17 were assigned to have on-the-job training at IPC, IAMC and Isuzu Dealerships * 2011 Further expanded its CSR with a comprehensive agro-forestry program. Partnering with the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF), the automaker adopted a forest in the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park, the largest remaining swath of old-growth rainforests in the Philippines. This forest-cum-watershed area is a vital source of water for Cagayan Valley.

* IPC’s agro-forestry project will include an education program for farmers, equipping them with the proper skills for tree planting, seedling production, and the use of organic fertilizer. * IPC officials, media friends and volunteers planted mango and Satsuma seedlings in the area, donating 6,500 seedlings to start the agro-forestry efforts aimed at protecting the community from flash floods due to soil erosion, as well as allowing the farmers to earn from the sale of their fruits. * The Isuzu-TESDA Auto Mechanic Training Center also graduated another batch of scholars and held an open-campus event to present the students to companies who require the services of qualified automotive technicians.

...This case study is an excellent example of how different types of parties can be brought together in a large scale transaction and how the original energy of those early meetings can be lost over time. I imagine that when Anthony Athanas was purchasing those old piers back in the 1960s many, if not all, of his colleagues, friends, and family members told him that he was off his rocker. I’m sure Athanas was looking at this land as his family’s ticket to financial prosperity and somewhat of a legacy that he could leave to his descendants for years and years to come. One of the items I wish the case would have divulged is the amount of money that Athanas had invested in the properties. For me this information would have given an insight to his net worth and how much he had riding on this investment. I assume it was substantial given his actions later in the process. Twenty years later Athanas’ dreams came true and all those naysayers were more than likely green with envy. The amount of pride Athanas’ had in his investment at that moment had to have been insurmountable. Being approached by a big time real estate development company and their extremely wealthy client, Hyatt Corporation, must have made Athanas feel larger than life and made him feel like something he isn’t, which is a developer himself. The case doesn’t give much insight into whether Athanas had any representation or anyone consulting him throughout the process. From the beginning, I saw this as matchup...

E-mail: mihde@liberty.edu A Case for Case Studies Case Studies are utilized across many disciplines including but not limited to medical science, political science, social science and psychology. There is however some confusion as it relates to the use of case studies. The first such confusion that must be clarified is what the definition of a case study is and what constitutes a case study. The second clarification is to identify the reasons for using a case study. A third area is outlining the advantages and disadvantages of using a case study. Lastly, when a researcher concludes a case study would be the best option they then must determine where and in what ways would the data and information be sourced. Identifying the answers for these four areas is imperative to understanding and utilizing a case study.

After reading the case study and analyzing it, from my opinion I think yes there is anything wrong with the actions of the three personalities- Mr.Bondoc, his wife and Dr. Agao. For elaboration I will explain them one by one. Mr.Bondoc acted as the champion of the student’s cause therefore it’s his responsibility to fight for the own good of the students, the one who will voice out their stands and if possible disagree to the proposals that may greatly affect them like increasing of their tuition fee.It’s great that he has the attitude of convincing others in personal way for them to agree of opposing the proposals of Dr. Agao because of this they can stop his proposals. He must maintain and assure that he is doing his job and must not allow others to control him in bad way or stop him to do his obligation but stated on the case study his wife wished him to maintain good relationship with Dr.Agao which unfortunately leads him to suddenly accept his proposals. It showed that he let others dictate him what to do and failed to do his job. About the wife of Mr.Bondoc, she was carried away by the good actions showed by Dr. Agao without knowing his real intentions of befriending her.

...Case Study: Considerations on group development Case Study: Considerations on group development In the current business world, several organizations have adopted the idea of creating a team to address an emergency situation, to improve something that is idling or to create a new thing from scratch, all in order to work in a more effective and efficient way. Every group faces challenges and victories, even if small ones. According to Robbins and Judge, “Teams are more flexible and responsive to changing events than traditional departments or other forms of permanent groupings. They can quickly assemble, deploy, refocus, and disband”. (Robbins 308) It is with this in mind that this paper will analyze the case study number 3, “ Building a Coalition”, and develop thoughts and considerations about the issues in the study, connecting them to the theory on building teams.

Case Study

...Case Study 3 Randa Ring 01/25/2012 HRM/240 1. How did the problems at Deloitte & Touche occur in the first place? I feel that the problem began in the work environment. It looks as if there was limited opportunity for advancement. As well that the company was not able to handle issues that a raised from work and family. I think that it was a wonderful idea to have the company made up of women. I feel that it was a very positive thing because a lot of their issues where not geared towards men. 2. Did their changes fix the underlying problems? Explain. Yes I feel that the changes that they made did fix some of their underlying problems. With them keeping their women employees no matter what position that they were in at the time went up. For the first time the turnover rates for senior managers where lower for women than men. 3. What other advice would you give their managers? They really need to watch showing favoritism towards the women. They did to treat everyone as an equal. I also feel that they should make the changes geared towards the men and women’s issues that have to deal with family and work. 4. Elaborate on your responses to these questions by distinguishing between the role of human resources managers and line managers in implementing the changes described in this case study When it comes to Human resource managers, they will work with the managers in implementing changes.

Case Study

...A Case Study by any Other Name Cathy Foster Liberty University   A Case Study by any other Name Researchers have different methods of observing their subjects. Among the most popular is the case study. Case studies are used a lot in psychology and one of the most famous psychologists that used case studies to detail the private lives of his patients was Sigmund Freud. What is a Case Study? “A case study is an observational method that provides a description of an individual” (Cozby & Bates, 2012). During a case study the individual is usually a person however that’s not always the situation. The case study can also be a setting, which can include a school, business, or neighborhood. A naturalistic observational study can sometimes be called a case study and these two studies can overlap (Cozby & Bates, 2012). Researchers report information from the individual or other situation, which is from a “real-life context and is in a truthful and unbiased manner” (Amerson, 2011). What are some Reasons for Using a Case Study Approach? There are different types of case studies. One reason to use a case study is when a researcher needs to explain the life of an individual. When an important historical figure’s life needs explaining this is called psychobiography (Cozby & Bates, 2012). The case study approach help answer the “how”, “what”, and “why” questions (Crowe, 2011). What are Some Advantages and Disadvantages to the Case Study Approach? Some advantages...

Case Study

...Case study analysis CASE METHOD EXERCISE: ABERCROMBIE & FITCH (by Meg Connolly, in Marketing Ethics: Cases and Readings (2006), edited by Patrick E. Murphy and Gene R. Laczniak) Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) of today differs dramatically from the original waterfront shop in New York that carried high-quality clothing suitable for camping, fishing and hunting. The A&F of 2002 can be found in virtually any major mall in America, and its target market includes preteen and teenagers. Indeed, the shift has been rather dramatic, and it could certainly be asserted that the direction A&F has recently headed strays substantially from the original vision of its founders. The style of clothes offered by A&F could be described as worn, casual, and rather rugged. Some critics contend the merchandise at A&F is seemingly overpriced considering that it is arguably no more unique than any other store of its kind geared toward the same market. One aspect of A&F that does make it unique from other stores, however, is their catalogue that was first published in 1997 and comes out four times a year with a spring break, summer, back-to-school, and Christmas issue. The Quarterly is a magazine-hybrid that, in addition to the clothing portion of the catalogue, has interviews with actors, musicians, directors and even some famous scholars. Fashion legend Bruce Weber does many of the photographs that appear throughout the magazine, and “these photos depict young, healthy, presumably red-blooded...

Case Study

...Case Study Southwestern University Southwestern University (SWU), a large stage college in Stephenville, Texas, 20 miles southwest of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, enrolls close to 20,000 students. In a typical town-gown relationship, the school is a dominant force in the small city, with more students during fall and spring than permanent residents. A longtime football powerhouse, SWU is a member for the Big Eleven conference and is usually in the top 20 in college football rankings. To bolster its chances of reaching the elusive and long-desired number-one ranking, in 2001, SWU hired the legendary BoPitterno as its head coach. One of Pitterno’s demands on joining SWU had been a new stadium. With attendance increasing, SWU administrators began to face the issue head-on. After 6 months of study, much political arm wrestling, and some serious financial analysis, Dr. Joel Wisner, president of Southwestern University, had reached a decision to expand the capacity at its on-campus stadium. Adding thousands of seats, including dozens of luxury skyboxes, would not please everyone. The influential Pitterno had argued the need for a first-class stadium, one with built-in dormitory rooms for his players and a palatial office appropriate for the coach of a future NCAA champion team. But the decision was made, and everyone, including the coach, would learn to live with it. The job now was to get construction going immediately after the 2007 season...
