Human problems in Indian industries

Human beings are neglected in Indian Industries and do not feel this neglect because they are able to survive and rosper without becoming efficient. In dustries in the Western countries are required to be efficient in order to survive and hence they are more con cerned about proper utilisation of all the resources including human resources.

The problem is stated in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 to 4 are concerned with the problems of selection-how to select the right man for the right job. An attempt is made to indicate how lack of progress in this situation could be remedied.

Chapter 5 to 7 deal with the pro--- bleins of Induction, Training and Merit Rating. Here again we have the same situation-neglect of these practices.

'Communication', a problem area which gets lot of lip service from man agement is discussed in Chapter 8. Chapter 9 to 11 are concerned with the problem of 'productivity' and what could be done to increase productivity in our industries. What we have done so far is mere slogan-raising. Employer-employee relations in our country are far from satisfactory. Chapter 12 tries to suggest an approach to tackle this ever important issue.

Chapter 13 to 15 are concerned with some important problems of our wor kers-Indebtedness, Absenteeism and Accidents. This is the first book of its kind on this subject. It will be especially use ful for students and teachers of busi ness management as the subject forms part of their studies.
