Case 1: “THE TALENTS”

1. What is the most important decision to be made?

After the acquisition of the new company, Naturelle HWP Philippines, Inc., this year the HR
directive needs to manage a long-term succession through hiring young high-potential talents that can be
trained and molded into decision-makers and leader in 24-36 months. They will be given trainings, actual
functional roles and projects that would be the bases for the final evaluation. The important decision to be
made in the company, is the selection or assessment process in looking for candidates or hiring five high-
potential talents fit for five key functions. And assessing the credentials of each candidate in the pursuit of
establishing job fit.

2. What financial information are available in the case?

In the case, there was no amount given. Yet, this company would not be successful without any
financial information. I thought that this company is stable and successful since they acquired a local
company known for producing best-selling wellness and organic brands and brought in key employees
from Naturelle’s other operating units in different parts of the country which in company needs a lot of
money and investment to give. Also, the part where they needed or is hiring another five employees in
their company, gains their expenses.

3. What other financial information are relevant but are not mentioned in the case?
There is no other financial information that are relevant that was not mentioned in the case.

4. What financial analysis tool or ratio is/are relevant in deciding on the most important issue in the
case?
