Decision Making and Analysis SE Management Case Analysis The SE Management took over the management of SE facilities and its maintenance since 2011. Upon the turnover from its developer, there is an agreement that the Board of Directors should manage the Subdivision effectively within the next five (5)-year period to maintain its exclusive status. The SE Subdivision is being managed by its nine (9) members of the Board of Directors wherein according to SE By-Laws, five (5) directors will be holding the officers' positions. Furthermore, based on the corresponding guidelines, the president will have the power to create committee chairpersons as it may deem necessary in their operations. A certain board resolution was created giving an honorarium of Two Thousand Pesos (P2,000) per month for each committee chairperson. As per By-Laws, the Directors of SE Subdivision will not receive any amount of compensation during their term or else they will be terminated from their post. In the most recent Board of Directors' meeting, they were able to identify the current problems in their Subdivision based on the complaints of homeowners: first, they need to hire a new crew to join the current maintenance force with three (3) members assigned in swimming pool, Phase 1 and Phase 2. These repairmen should accommodate the needs of 244 homeowners. Each homeowner is paying P2,000 per month for his association dues. The SE Subdivision has an administrative assistant with a salary of P18,000 per month and each repairman receives a monthly pay of P15,000. The management pays the following amounts every month for their operations: P18,000 fixed rate for street lights, P15,000 for swimming pool chemical maintenance, clubhouse electric bill of P6,000, tennis and basketball courts' electric bill of P10,000, swimming pool's electric bill of P10,000, telephone bill of P2,400, water bill of P10,000, and security guards' service fee of P78,000. The second problem is that they need an office clerk to assist the administrative officer in paperwork, most especially during collection due date of the homeowners' water bill. The third problem is the monthly system loss in their water bill with an average of P144,000. Every member of the Board of Directors is free from his monthly due of P2,000 since they do not receive any form of compensation. The SE Management has considered increasing the monthly associations due to increase the fund, but due to lack of quorum, they cannot amend their By-Laws,
