I. VIEWPOINT[1]: The Board of Directors
The choice of the Board of Directors [BOD] as viewpoint of the analysis is primarily based on quick-dispatch and pragmatic purposes, i.e., since it has the encompassing capacity to provide for corporate solutions being the highest authority in the management of the corporation, its decision on whatever corporate concern is not subject to any review or approval/disapproval. The corporate officers would only have to implement and carry on what the Board has resolved to adopt.
Between the possible perspectives of a viewpoint, that of the decision maker offers the highest, fastest and independent resolution a corporation, such as ABC Steel Corporation, may adopt. The “recommendatory” perspective requires consideration and approval of the Board. The intricacies from recommendation to review and approval require time. Hence, for a corporation being forecasted to fold in five months if backlogs and penalties are a not subverted, time is of the essence and therefore the most decisive viewpoint, the BOD as decision maker, is considered pragmatically superior.
II. TIME CONTEXT[2]:
This case analysis looks back six years from the current date. This is so considering that based on the facts, the problems brought about by backlogs had been manifest only in December 2006. Although it may presumed that the same set of circumstances prevailed in the previous set-up, for lack of data, this study will not delve on periods
