Thesis (Master in Business Administration)-- Mountain Province State Polytechnic College, 2009

The study focused on the management of income Generating Projects at Mountain Province State polytechnic Collage, especially on the policies that govern its Income Generating Projects, the status of the management of income including the attitudinal factors that affect the implementation of Income Generating Projects (IGPs) in the College. The management of MPSPC IGPs is also compared with that of other State Universities and College (SUCs).
The research employed the descriptive and qualitative method of research. The primary intention is to describe the management of IGPs in MPSPC. The research is extended to some identified SUCs as a point of reference to the study. Purposely, substance analysis was required to bring about the proper examination of the document. From then a model management of Income Generating Projects in Mountain Province State polytechnic Collage was arrived at.
In the light of the findings, the following conclusions are drawn: The policies governing the income Generating Projects at Mountain Province State Polythenic College and other SUCs are Presidential Decree 2010, Letter of Instruction (LOI) 1461, National Budget Circular Number 331, Special Provision Number I of the 1986 General Appropriations Act, 1990 General Appropriations Act ( Republic Act No. National Budget Circular (NBC) Number 331, Commission on Audit (COA) Circular No. 82-239, Republic Act 8292, and COA Circular No 2002-02. Section 4(d) of RA No. 8292. Similar with the SUCs in the Cordillera is the lack of an approved IGP Manual although IGPs are already operational.
From 1992 to 2008, there were IGP proposal which were submitted for college management to consider 26(54.17%) of these were approved and implemented.
The reason for non-approval of other IPG proposals was the proposals were not realistic meaning the proposals required technologies and funding requirements which were not within the ability of the Collage. Sometimes, the proposals were not in accordance with the thrust of management.
There are eight on-going IGPs and these are: (a) Wine Production at Baang, (b) Apiary at Tadian, (c) Bontoc Campus Canteen, (d) Tadian Campus Canteen, € Internet Access and Printing Services-Bontoc, (f) Rentals of College Facilities and Equipment’s (e.g. College auditorium, monoblock, chairs, bed foams, etc.), (g) Registrar’s Office Scanning and Printing Service-Bontoc(School records, etc.). And (h) Reproduction and sale of Research Journals.
The eight identified on-going IGPs are presently earning insignificant based on the Return of Investments (ROI) and most of the Income Generating Projects are in their early stages.
Employee support for the IGPs in MPSPC is generally weak due to the non-implementation of the existing College IGP policy and the lack of an IGP.
Manual that explicitly spells out the incentive scheme of the directly and indirectly involved in a certain project.
After a review of the conclusions, the following recommendations are propound: (a) An IGP manual must be prepared and implemented, and which is plain and susceptible to changes to fit the requirements of the project. A comprehensive IGP manual will provide units/ department concerned on IGPs the policies on monitoring and evaluation of IGPs towards it betterment and sustainability. (b) The following activities should be done to achieve a sound implementation of income Generating Projects: Assessment of proposed IGP implementation proposal to be done in order to implement those that are feasible and with potential, and to terminate those Income Generating Projects found to be non-performing: provision of more personnel to man Income Generating Projects and for those personnel to determine their training needs then later on upgrade themselves on the management and productivity of Income Generating Projects; provision of adequate funding, supplies and materials on time to projects that need them; and stepping up of effort to look for funding sources.
A College-wide dissemination of the aim and objectives of income Generating Projects must also be conducted by the IGP unit of the College, highlighting employee benefits in supporting such. This motivate employees to process more projects and for the existing Income Generating Projects to produce more. A model on the management of Income Generating Projects in MPSPC is further proposed.
