Prelim Questrion # 1


1. How do you perceive information as a resource of the company?

Answer:

When we gather information about the world around us (including the information we need in order to study), we employ all our senses. But some of us employ one sense more than others.It help to the company to achieve the goals they wanted and also for the welfare of their employees.

t’s no less true for being repeated, but for many organisations their information and knowledge is their greatest asset.

Unfortunately it is often underutilised. Many organisations don’t recognise information as an asset or entity in itself, and they don’t know how to manage it effectively.

Small companies are especially bad at this as they’re so used to sharing information informally within a small team. It’s only when they grow, or when a key member of staff is absent, that they realise they need to store and share their information properly.

The bottom line is that information management can save an organisation money. Some information management tools and practices may cost initially, but chosen well they can quickly show a return on investment.

I’m an information manager, so you may think I’m a bit biased. But I’ve seen first hand how even basic information management practices can help an organisation. I’ve listed some of the main reasons below, in three categories: saving money, making money, and staying on the right side of the law.

2. Site a company, its nature. describe how the information from its environment impress its management and business as a whole.


Answer:

A group of enterprising executives belonging to various industries saw the opportunity to venture in the booming consumer financing business. Combining their strengths, Robert B. Jordan handled credit; Ruben Y. Lugtu Jr. labored on the financials while the late Wilfredo T. Anastacio took care of the human resources and operations. With the good demand and sound credit, the company, which they formed, Asialink Finance Corporation was off to a good start. Established in June of 1997, Asialink Finance Corporation is now the leading and fastest growing finance company in the Philippines. The company has an authorized and paid-up capital of Php 500 Million. It is now in the process of upgrading capital to Php 1 Billion.

The company was initially engaged in the booming business of Appliance Group Financing (AGP), however, due to the Asian Financial Crisis which badly affected companies in the market, Robert B. Jordan, now the CEO, redirected the company to focus on the promising business of giving short-term loans to business men, doctors and professionals in the year 2000. Today, Asialink Finance Corporation offers a wide range of short-term loan products that cater to the financial needs of businesses and individuals, such as Doctor’s Loan, Seaman's Loan, Appliance Loan, Educational Loan, OFW Loan, Allottee Loan, Salary Loan, Beneficiary Loan, Motorcycle Loan, Truck Loan, Car Loan, Real Estate Loan and Medical Assistance Loan.

Asialink Finance Corporation is continually expanding. It now has 52 branches (29 north, 11 south and GD 12) established throughout the archipelago. It is steadfastly improving the quality of its services to the people. It has an important role in alleviating the rampant unemployment, which threatens the Philippine economy, employing more than 500 personnel in its offices and thousands of independent loan consultants. It offers seminars to interested business-minded individuals who are willing to offer an important service to the community.

With its outstanding products and services, competent workforce and growing market niche, Asialink Finance Corporation is poised to become, in 10 to 15 years, the top finance company in the Philippines and a significant player in Southeast Asia.
