HRM: Company Visit 4

The date of this visit is: August 30,2008

After visiting our MIS adopted company, DLPC, earlier in morning and going to the ICT Convention from 12 nn-1 pm and finally having lunch at 1:30 pm, we headed to our next destination, LYR Marketing.

Like in our MIS subject, a technical paper was to be made for our Human Resource Management subject. This technical paper is an Information Systems Development Plan that my group and I have to formulate for our chosen company. Unlike, our MIS technical paper, which has outlined components, this paper, as quoted by our professor is an open philosophy paper. It means it can have any components we want to add as long as we achieve/state our main goal, and that is to devise a ISD plan.

We were sidetracked by our other activities, that’s why we started acting upon the paper this late than of what was scheduled. jejeje..!!

The purpose of the visit is just to gather information such as the company background like its history, their vision, mission, and their future plans. We also asked about the existing systems in their company. Funny thing is, like in DLPC, the organizational chart of LYR can't be given to us because it was a confidential file. Mr. Llano said that they can't possibly release information such as the organizational chart and their goals because they are a business organization and not a philanthropic organization. Even with promises of confidentiality, they dare not release such information because they are afraid that it may leak out to their competitors.

Mr.Llano was engrossed in making to us about what is the importance of goals and what success really means. These sudden discussions, for me, really make Mr.Llano a good mentor, because he shares us a lot of useful information and he really exceeds our expectations. He even advised us to study other computer languages that what is taught in school so that we can be better than other students.
