Book excerpt: The rapid growth in exports of manufactures from developing countries has unsettled the performance of manufacturing activities in many developed countries. Asian countries are heavily involved in the export of manufactures. Australia typifies the problems faced by the developed countries. How should Australia respond? Should it attempt to isolate itself from Asia? Or should it attempt to integrate itself with Asia? Is the removal of import restraints a prerequisite for closer integration? Or can closer integration be achieved by alternative approaches which are more politically acceptable? These issues are discussed.

Download or read book A Human Resource Perspective of Bonds Garments in Australia written by Patrick Sim and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The essay discusses the perspectives and significance of recruitment, selection and employee turnover functions in Bonds, a garment manufacturer located in Australia. Much of the literature will focus on concepts of human resource (HRM) management discussions pertaining to workplace restructuring, downsizing, and employment practices. It can be posited that the key problem faced by Bonds is workplace restructuring and downsizing via outsourcing of production personnel. It will also address human resource (HR) perceived problems underpinned at corporate policy and actual functional level. A time frame will be allocated to achieve policy and human resource goals within the company’s environment. The key proposition intended for this paper is “workplace restructuring and downsizing will radically alter human resources practices and employment methods, producing a leaner and meaner HRM function”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Companies in today's business world are under a constant pressure: they have to get as close as possible to the customer, they have to become ever more flexible and they need to reduce costs. In order to face these challenges, some organisational structures are more likely to promise success than others. The characteristics of these structures are no secret, but companies often have the problem that they don't know how to put them into practice. The present work is intended to give an answer to this question. Having analysed what had been written about putting organisational change into practice 1 tested my ideas by a series of ten interviews which took place in companies of the German production sector. Six points were identified as essential: 1. The problem and the objectives of the project should be clear for all participants. 2. The company should dispose of enough time and financial resources as well as a trusting working climate and a supportive top and middle management. 3. Borderless communication is necessary, especially concerning the evolution of the change project and the personal consequences for each person. 4. The employees should be able to participate actively in elaborating the change project, in decision-making and in identifying possibilities to stimulate motivation. This participation should be reflected in an adequate bonus system. 5. Continuous training for all (laying special attention an group leaders) is important an such areas as group work, communication and motivation. The mentioned recommendations could be useful for the managers of companies which are thinking about a reorganisation. That would enable them to avoid mistakes made by other companies. The following mistakes were the most important ones: Impatience and the expectation that there will be a 'magic solution' (it might take up to five years to reach the desired state). The non-implication of the workforce in introducing the change process (result: the project is being blocked from their side). Lack of communication which creates rumours about the coming change process (result: anxiety is created and the best workers will try to find another job). Out of date bonuses which are not favourable in order to reach the company's global objectives (such as individual bonuses and 'competition stimulators' between groups).

Download or read book The Relationship Between Manufacturing Strategy and Export Performance in Australia written by Ravi Upret and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , language: English, abstract: This literature review identifies the relationship between manufacturing strategies and export performance of big and small firms. Johnson stated that back in 1960 Australian manufacturing contributed around 25% to the GDP, which got reduced to around 6.8% in the most recent years. The manufacturing in Australia is mostly centered on a few prominent sectors, like food and beverages, petrochemicals, machines and tools, metal products, textile clothing, and footwear. In the most recent years, it can be seen that most of the products manufactured in Australia are exported to the foreign countries. Different industries such as food processing, textile, motor vehicles and automotive industry, chemical industry a few prominent industries, fall under the purview of the manufacturing sector in Australia. The recent statement of the International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde about the world economic scenario indicates that the largest export market of Australia, namely, China will continue to show a downward trend in the economy. In the current year, the Chinese economy is assumed to grow at 6.9 % in the current year 2016 although the other developing economies, such as India and western countries, such as Europe and America are showing a bit recovered growth rate. It indicates that the Australia needs to rediscover its manufacturing strategy which should be aligned to the markets in these countries. The current study finds its objectives in the research, which explores any significant correlation between the manufacturing practices and export performance of manufacturing in Australia.

Download or read book The Management of Change in Four Manufacturing Organizations written by Malcolm Leslie MacIntosh and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is concerned with the process of change and adaptation in four Australian manufacturing companies in the period 1989 to 1996. The thesis seeks to explain the reaction of these companies to the pressures for change, and particularly for the adoption of 'best practice' management prescriptions in the organization of work and human resource management. The operating hypothesis adopted is that the pattern of changes undertaken by manufacturing organizations are shaped by a variety of factors both external to and within the company, but that management beliefs and orientations are a key element in understanding the pace and extent of change. The research is pursued through detailed case studies designed to explore at length pressures for change and continuity in corporate decision-making.
