Roads play a vital role in this aspect. Tremendous development has taken place in science and technology, which has mechanized every work in every field. Manually carried out work is less productive and time consuming. Thus to increase efficiency and productive, mechanical equipment came into existence and almost every field is mechanized. As such, the demand for such mechanical equipments has increased tremendously. India has been ruled by foreigners for several years. And such, after independence India has given priority to strengthen the countrys defense force. Several industries producing defense equipment has been started by the government of India thereafter.

The 7s framework of Mc Kinsey is a management model that describes 7 factors to organize a company in a holistic and effective way. The two persons who developed this model are Tom Peters and Robert Waterman were consultants at Mc Kinsey and Company. They published their 7-S model in their article Structure Is Not Organization (1980) and in their books the art of Japanese management (1981) and in search of excellence (1982). The McKinsey 7S model was named after a consulting company, McKinsey and Company, which has conducted applied research in business and industry. The McKinsey 7S Framework was created as a recognizable and easily remembered model in business. The seven variables, which the authors term "levers", all begin with the letter "S". These seven variables include structure, strategy, systems, skills, style, staff, and shared values Those seven elements are distinguished as hard Ss and soft Ss. The three hard elements are feasible and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans, organizational charts and other documentation.

JSSATE BANGALORE

Page 24

A STUDY ON JOB SATISFACTION

The four soft Ss however, are hardly feasible. They are difficult to describe since capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and changing. They are highly determined by the people at work in the organization.

1. Structure The structure of organization represents the hierarchy of the organization. It represents the reporting system of the organization. Thus the organization structure is the pattern of relations among various components or parts of the organization.

The SWOT analysis is effectively used as a Decision Making Aid while planning new vocational programs. The process of utilizing the SWOT approach requires an internal survey of strengths and weakness of the program and an external survey of threats and opportunities. Structured internal and external examination is unique in the world of curriculum planning and development. It is a useful way of examining current environmental conditions around program offerings.
