WHAT IS MEDIA?
www.LXTmedia.com
Media (the plural of "medium") - referring to those organized means of

dissemination of fact, opinion, entertainment, and other information, such as
newspapers, magazines, banners and billboards, cinema films, radio,
television, the World Wide Web, billboards, books, CDs, DVDs,
videocassettes, computer games and other forms of publishing.
Types of Media
a. Mass Media - is mainly used by academics and media-professionals. When

members of the general public refer to "the media" they are
usually referring to the mass media, or to the news media.
Sometimes mass media (and the news media in particular) are
referred to as the "corporate media".
b. Mainstream Media - includes outlets that are in harmony with the

prevailing direction of influence in the c ulture at large.
c. Corporate Media - is often used by leftist media critics to imply that the
mainstream media are themselves composed of large
multinational corporations, and promote those interests (see e.g.,
Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting; Herman and Chomsky's
"A Propaganda Model").
History
During the 20th century, the growth of mass media was driven by technology
that allowed the massive duplication of material. Physical duplication
technologies such as printing, record pressing and film duplication allowed
the duplication of books, newspapers and movies at low prices to huge
audiences. Radio and television allowed the electronic duplication of
information for the first time. Mass media had the economics of linear
replication: a single work could make money proportional to the number of
copies sold, and as volumes went up, units costs went down, increasing profit

margins further. Vast fortunes were to be made in mass media. In a democratic
society, independent media serve to educate the public/electorate about
issues regarding government and corporate entities (see Mass media and
public opinion). Some consider the concentration of media ownership to be
a grave threat to democracy.

Purposes
Mass media can be used for various purposes:

• Advocacy, both for business and social concerns. This can include
advertising, marketing, propaganda, public relations, and
political communication.
• Enrichment and education, such as literature.
• Entertainment, traditionally through performances of acting, music, and
sports, along with light reading; since the late 20th century also
through video and computer games.
• Journalism. Public service announcements.
Journalism
Journalism is a discipline of collecting, analyzing, verifying, and presenting

information regarding current events, trends, issues and people. Those who
practice journalism are known as journalists.
Public relations
Public relations is the art and science of managing communication between

an organization and its key publics to build, manage and sustain its positive
image. Examples include:
• Corporations use marketing public relations (MPR) - Typically, they support
sales in the short and long term, establishing and burnishing the corporation's
branding for a strong, ongoing market.
• Corporations also use public-relations as a vehicle - they may use public
relations to portray themselves as enlightened employers, in support of
human-resources recruiting programs.
• Non-profit organizations - including schools and universities, hospitals, and
human and social service agencies, use public relations in support of
awareness programs, fund-raising programs, staff recruiting, and to increase
patronage of their services. Politicians use public relations to attract votes and
raise money, and, when successful at the ballot box, to promote and defend
their service in office, with an eye to the next election or, at career’s end, to
their legacy.
Forms
Electronic media and print media include:

• Broadcasting, in the narrow sense, for radio and television.
• Various types of discs or tape. In the 20th century, these were mainly used
for music. Video and computer uses followed.

• Film, most often used for entertainment, but also for documentaries.
• Internet, which has many uses and presents both opportunities and
challenges. Blogs and podcasts, such as news, music, pre-recorded speech
and video)
• Publishing, in the narrow sense, meaning on paper, mainly via books,
magazines, and newspapers. Computer games, which have developed into a
mass form of media since devices such as the PlayStation 2 , Xbox, and the
Game Cube broadened their use.
Broadcasting
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and/or video signals (programs) to

a number of recipients ("listeners" or "viewers") that belong to a large group.
This group may be the public in general, or a relatively large audience within
the public. Thus, an Internet channel may distribute text or music world-wide,
while a public address system in (for example) a workplace may broadcast very
limited ad hoc soundbites to a small population within its range.
Film
Film is a term that encompasses motion pictures as individual projects, as well

as the field in general. The origin of the name comes from the fact that
photographic film (also called filmstock) has historically been the primary
medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Films are produced by
recording people and objects with cameras, or by creating them using
animation techniques and/or special effects.
Internet
The Internet (also known simply as "the Net") can be briefly understood as "a
network of networks". Specifically, it is the worldwide, publicly accessible
network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet
switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It consists of millions of
smaller domestic, academic, business, and governmental networks, which
together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail,
online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents
of the World Wide Web.
Contrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are
not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer
networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections

etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents, linked by hyperlinks
and URLs.
The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, along with many other
services including e-mail, file sharing.
Publishing
Publishing is the industry concerned with the production of literature or

information – the activity of making information available for public view. In
some cases, authors may be their own publishers. Traditionally, the term refers
to the distribution of printed works such as books and newspapers. With the
advent
of digital information systems and the Internet, the scope of publishing has
expanded to include websites, blogs, and the like.
Book
A book is a collection of sheets of paper, parchment or other material with a

piece of text written on them, bound together along one edge within covers.
Magazine
A magazine is a periodical publication containing a variety of articles,

generally financed by advertising and/or purchase by readers. Magazines are
typically published weekly, biweekly, monthly, bimonthly or quarterly, with
a date on the cover that is in advance of the date it is actually published.
They are often printed in color on coated paper, and are bound with a soft
cover.
Magazines fall into two broad categories: consumer magazines and business
magazines
Magazines can be classified as:

• General interest magazines (e.g. Frontline, India Today, The Week, etc)
• Special interest magazines (women's, sports, business, scuba diving, etc)
Newspaper
A newspaper is a publication containing news and information and

advertising, usually printed on low-cost paper called newsprint. It may be
general or special interest, most often published daily or weekly. The first
printed newspaper was published in 1605, and the form has thrived even in

the face of competition from technologies such as radio and television. Recent
developments on the Internet are posing major threats to its business model,
however.
Software publishing
A software publisher is a publishing company in the software industry

between the developer and the distributor.
Software publishers often license software from developers with specific
limitations, such as a time limit or geographical region. The terms of licensing
vary enormously, and are typically secret. Developers may use publishers to
reach larger or foreign markets, or to avoid focusing on marketing. Or
publishers may use developers to create software to meet a market need that
the publisher has identified.
Video and computer games
Namco's Pac-Man was a hit, and became a cultural phenomenon. The game
spawned merchandise, a cartoon series and pop songs, and was one of the
most heavily cloned video games of all-time. A computer game is a computer-
controlled game. A video game is a computer game where a video display such
as a monitor or television is the primary feedback device. The term "computer
game" also includes games which
display only text (and which can therefore theoretically be played on a
teletypewriter) or which use other methods, such as sound or vibration. There
always must also be some sort of input device, usually in the form of
button/joystick combinations (on arcade games), a keyboard &
mouse/trackball combination (computer games), or a controller (console
games), or a combination of any of the above. In common usage, a "computer
game" or a "PC game" refers to a game that is played on a personal computer.
"Console game" refers to one that is played on a device specifically designed for
the use of such, while interfacing with a standard television set. "Video game"
(or "videogame") has evolved into a catchall phrase that encompasses the
aforementioned along with any game made for any other device, including, but
not limited to, mobile phones,
PDAs, advanced calculators, etc.

Six Ways to Become More Efficient at Work And At Home
Most
of us are eager to give of ourselves and then give some more. Whether it's
giving advice to friends or coworkers, volunteering for activities in the
community or at our child's school or just saying yes to every request that
comes our way. What happens with all this giving is you become so buried
under a mountain of responsibilities that the most important things in your life
suffer. You have to take time for yourself and your family. One way to do this is
Document No.
Date Developed:
INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE
BREAD AND PASTRY
Page 29 of 65
CBLM ATONIYA SKILLS
to become more efficient in every area of your life. Let's look at six ways to
become efficient.
1) Schedule your day. If you have to, get up an hour early each day and write
out your plan for the day. Then prioritize each task on your list and put it in
order of priority. Schedule what you need to do into a planning sheet and block
out time to get it accomplished. Do this every single day, even on the
weekends.
2) Stop trying to multi-task. Turn off the email notification function on your
computer. Email kills your concentration and makes you lose focus on what
you were doing. Don't get side lined by interruptions from others. If you are
trying to finish a report for an important client or meeting, don't accept a
request from a drop-in visitor who "just has a quick question"
3) Learn to control self-interruption. You are at your desk absorbed in your

work, when all of a sudden you brain starts talking to you. It reminds you of
something that you need to tell a coworker or an important task that you need
to take care of. Instead of grabbing the phone or shooting off an email, write
down what you need to tell that person or the task that you need to do in a
separate binder that you keep for such purposes. Keep working on your
current project and set aside time later to take care of things on your binder
list.
4) Say NO more often. Know what your priorities are. When someone requests
something of you and it doesn't fit into your priorities, just say no. You don't
have to justify your answer with a long explanation or excuse.
5) Delegate as much as you can. We often think we can do everything

ourselves, or that others will not devote as much care to the task as we would
have. That is delusion, as we do not have enough time to do all that anyway.
Other coworkers or other members of your family could easily do some of the
tasks. Get away from the thinking that you are the only one who can do the job
right.
6) Stop trying to be perfect. Some tasks can be done and are just as
successful even if they are not perfect. Trying to be perfect with everything will
slow you down and cause too much un-needed stress in your life.
Your time is a very precious resource that should not be wasted. Efficiency is
the key to getting things accomplished in your work and at home. Implement
the above steps and you will find yourself accomplishing more in less time, and
with less stress.

Time Management
What is Time Management?

by: Joe Dostal
What is time management, then? Time management is the proper delegation

of the time we have in order that the most important tasks are achieved before
the more menial and less-important ones. It means getting the maximum value
and benefit out of every activity accomplished, no matter how small or big. It
means accepting that not everything can be completed at the same time and
that there are things that can be achieved within the limitations of our human
faculties
If we waste time, there is no bank where we can withdraw time we previously

saved to replace the time wasted. To come to terms with our mortality is to
realize that our time is limited. Given this realization and probability that you
would like to better organize your time, here are some techniques that you can
use in your professional and private lives.
How To Organize Your Time
Time management technique 1: Assess how you spend your time

As a first step in managing time better, you might want to analyze how you
spend your time now. To do this, divide your day into fifteen-minute segments,
then record what you are doing every fifteen minutes. Afterward, review this
time diary and total the time spent on each activity throughout the day.
For instance, you might that you spent three hours watching television, one
hour exercising, one hour studying, and two hours shopping. Next, evaluate
the use of time. You might decide you spend too much time watching TV and
too little time studying. Based upon this evaluation, decide on an adjustment,
but make it specific. A good way to make this change is to draw up a contract
with yourself that includes a reward for being successful.
Time management technique 2: Set Goals

The most important thing you can do to manage time is to set goals: daily,
weekly, monthly, yearly and long-range. If you don’t have a clear sense of
where you are headed just yet, you will not be able to plan how to get there.
Your use of time should be organized to maximize the chances of achieving
your goals.

BREAD AND PASTRY
Page 31 of 65
CBLM ATONIYA SKILLS
Time management technique 3: Learn to prioritize
Once you have defined your goals, you need to prioritize them and your
activities. Not all of your goals will be equally important. Focus on those goals
that are of major importance to you, and work on the other goals secondarily.
Likewise, focus on activities most important to the achievement of your highest
goals and on other activities afterward.
Time management technique 4: If you can't juggle,delegate

It’s okay to admit that you’re not superman or superwoman. We’re only human
and we simply cannot do everything at once, no matter how hard we try. Some
people have attempted at juggling too many things at the same time and ended
up with work that is half-baked. Seek the assistance of other people to do the
other things for you. Conversely, do not just accept and say ‘yes’ when people
ask you to do things for them when you know you don’t have the time to do so.
Time management technique 5: Saying ‘no’ is not bad

If you really have to turn someone or something down, don’t hesitate to say
‘no’. Assess what is really important to you and go with that, instead. Some
people feel guilty when they say ‘no’. You shouldn’t. It is your right and
privilege to turn somebody down when he or she asks a favor from you.
Remember, you own your time. Allowing other people to dictate what you
should do with it is a disservice to yourself.
Time management technique 6: Keep a schedule

Once you’ve prioritized your activities, you can then schedule them into you
day. Time of meetings - When will you go to the library? When will you shop for
groceries? Don’t forget to schedule some relaxation and recreation, as well.
Time management technique 7: Maximize your rewards

In scheduling your activities, remember what some time management experts
say: we get 80% of our rewards on only 20% of our activities and, conversely,
get only 20% of our rewards on 80% of the time we spend. What this tells us is
that we need to make sure we identify and engage in the 20% of the activities
that give us 80% of our rewards before we move to the other activities.
Maximize your rewards by organizing your time.
As you can see from the techniques mentioned above, time, while short and
fleeting, is something that can be managed even by mere human beings like
us. The best way to cope with it is to know early on what we want to happen to
our lives and which directions we’d like to head, in order for us to more
effectively map out a life plan. If we don’t know what our plans are, then it

wouldn’t really make sense to get into time management because we’ll just
end up with one big mess of activities.
Determine what you want first and then seek to manage your time. Remember,
every second is precious, so you need to speed up. It’s for your own sake,
anyway.
SELF IMPROVEMENT
1. Creativity - Intuitive or Learned by Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD

Have you wondered why some people seem to have a lot of creativity?
Some believe we are born with such gifts and others believe it is learned.
It is probably a combination of both-creative expression is enhanced with
the ability to be fully aware of and present in the moment one is in.
2. Intuitive Decision Making by Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD
The majority of people only recognize decision-making as a powerful step
when it is done for major important issues-where to go for vacation,
spending money, changing a job/career, moving, etc. However, it is all
the little decisions in your life that creates where you are today.
3. Danger of the Fear Story by Mark I Myhre
Everybody loves a good story. But when it comes to fear, telling yourself
a story about it can be dangerous. Learn how you do it, and how to end
it.
4. Being There - The Greatest Gift by Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD
The greatest gift you can give someone is an act of 'just being there.' This
concept is nearly unfathomable to many people. Whether your 'just being
there' is related to a specific situation or is an ongoing commitment, you
each benefit from the experience. To be there for some one is to 'be there'
in challenging times as well as the good times.
5. Innocence by Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD
We are born with complete innocence-free of guilt, sin, with purity of
heart and blameless. As we assimilate a myriad of adaptations and
indoctrinations from our family, culture, neighborhood, religion,
education, etc., we lose our innocence. By reconnecting with our inner
child, we can experience the world with the same wonder and joy we
experienced as a child.
6. We Were Abused Children - How Do We Recover? by Glen D. Williams

the course of 18 years of childhood. I don't mean to minimize what you
may have suffered... even one traumatic event is too much. As tragic as it
is, the biggest tragedy is the way we often ruin decades of our lives by
not facing it, putting it in perspective and putting it behind us. Recovery
is possible for all of us if we want it enough to work for it.
7. Intent by Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, PhD
Intent is the key to achieving your goals. Frequently we are doing one
thing-thinking that we are creating another. We need to systematically
focus on the intent of our actions at every step. There is nothing wrong
with multitasking, which seems necessary with today's demands.
However, balancing multitasking with intentional activity provides
valuable insight into the benefits of doing one thing at a time, being
totally present with the task of our intent.
8. Programming Your Mind For Self Development by Pushpa Pal Singh
The human mind is the master computer which controls your body and
your actions. It's like an empty hard drive therefore you're affected by
whatever you install into it. The functions you install can be either
positive or negative. You are bombarded with different thoughts, sounds,
people, and images all the time. The human mind is such that it takes
into account everything that's around you. What you truly need to learn
is how to program this master computer to ignore the negative thoughts
and only concentrate the positive ones. Therefore what are the steps to
controlling this master computer? Read on to find out.
9. Achieve The Impossible - Break The Rules by Pushpa Pal Singh
Everyone wants to become special; everyone has a dream to make it big
some day. Everyone get out of his house each day with an aim in his
mind but not all of them end up achieving their goals. Most of us hold
ourselves back waiting for the right moment or the perfect circumstance.
But you know what they moment never comes until you make it happen.
Every person wants to become successful and achieve the impossible
overnight but you must understand that it's not as easy as it sounds.
You need to take the first step towards your goal first. You need to make
progress, Progress might be slow at first but with time you would realize
that the process speeds up as you get better at it.

Why are you doing something that you do not like to do to earn a small
amount of money, when you can easily do what you love to do and earn
more money.

13. How To Be A Strong Communicator by Pushpa Pal Singh
You can listen to thousands of people watch & listen to millions of TV or
radio shows but that does not mean that you would be the same when it
comes to the mastery of words. In the process of communication it's all
about the delivery of right words with the right physical expressions.
Therefore how to master this art of conversation? The best way to start is
by recording your own voice.
14. Write Your Own Destiny - Take Control Right Now by Pushpa Pal Singh
One of the most common phrase which is very widely used is- "This is my
destiny". Many people think their life is pre-written and whatever events
or circumstances they go through are already planned by some higher
power. Remember one simple fact about life - "Circumstances do not
make a man they reveal him". Just like this saying circumstances only
give you an indication that your life is not in your control. Circumstances
are made by the man himself. Events don't just happen they are a direct
result of the actions taken by you.
15. How To Change Your Life For Good by Pushpa Pal Singh
Are you really happy with your life? Are you living your dream? Is this
really what you wanted out of your life? If you are confused about all
these questions than you definitely need a change. Almost everyone
aspires to get the most out of life in whatever shape or form it might be.
But some of us get carried away by the circumstances so much that we
don't know where we are in life and whether we are living our dreams or
not. All of us go through several problems and sometimes it becomes a
big obstacle and we forget our dreams and talk about reality. We get so
negative that we forget our dreams and think this is life and we need to
survive.

hurrying, do we seriously think that people are conned into believing that
what we are doing is important, and where we are going means

really matters?
22. Hinduism, Karma and the Law of Attraction by Paul Warren
Positive thinking, which is an oft quoted phrase in the law of attraction,
also finds its place in Hinduism.
23. FEAR - The Dream Killer! by Royleena Nicholas
Many online marketers live in fear on a daily basis, fear of failure and
fear of success. Have your been marketing your heart out, do you feel
like you're making no headway to profit, then perhaps fear is stopping
you from reaching the monetary success you desire. To make money

The tertiary sector of industry (also known the service sector on the service
industry ) is one of the three main industrial categories of a developed economy
the other being the secondary industry (manufacturing ) and primary industry
(extraction such as mining , agriculture and fishing .) Service are defined
conventional economic literature as “ intangible goods
2.2 Relationship Between Tourisms And Hospitality
TOURISM-is traveling for predominantly recreational or leisure purposes or

the provision of services to support this leisure travel. The world tourism
organization defines tourists as people who “travel to and stay and places out
side their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure
business and other purposes ,not related to the exercise of and activity from
within the place visited “tourism has a popular global leisure activity and 2004
there was over 763 millions international tourists arrival .
HOSPITALITY - Refers to the relationship process between a guest and a host

and it also refers to the act of practice of being hospitable with liberality and
goodwill . Hospitality frequently refers to the hospitality industry job for hotel ,
restaurants casinos , catering resort , clubs and any other service position
that deals with tourists.
2.3 Relationship between industry and other industries.
INDUSTRY-(from latin industrius, diligent, industrious.’)is the segment of

economy concerned with production of goods.
-is the quality, action , or habit of earnest, steady , and continue
attention or devotion to any useful or productive work or task,
manual or mental.
-is diligence applied to some vocation, business, or profession,
hence, by derived use, the occupation itself.

repetitive-strain injuries to their hands, wrists, and elbows. This type of injury
is especially common in meat-processing and poultry-processing plants.
Production workers often stand for long periods and may be required to lift
heavy objects or use cutting, slicing, grinding, and other dangerous tools and
machines. To deal with difficult working conditions, ergonomic programs have
been introduced to cut down on work-related accidents and injuries.
Furthermore, meat and poultry plants must comply with a wide array of
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations
ensuring a safer work environment. Some workers wear protective hats, gloves,
aprons, and shoes. In many industries, uniforms and protective clothing are
changed daily for reasons of sanitation.
Working conditions also depend on the type of food being processed. For
example, some bakery employees work at night or on weekends and spend
much of their shifts near ovens that can be uncomfortably hot. In contrast,
workers in dairies and meat-processing plants typically work daylight hours
and may experience cold and damp conditions. Some plants, such as those
producing processed fruits and vegetables, operate on a seasonal basis, so
workers are not guaranteed steady, year-round employment and occasionally
travel from region to region seeking work. These plants are increasingly rare,
however, as the industry continues to diversify and manufacturing plants
produce alternative foods during otherwise inactive periods.

Trade union
A trade union or labor union is an organization of workers.

The trade union, through its leadership, bargains with the
employer on behalf of union members ("rank and file"
members) and negotiates labor contracts with employers. This
may include the negotiation of wages, work rules, complaint
procedures, rules governing hiring, firing and promotion of
workers, benefits, workplace safety and policies. The
agreements negotiated by the union leaders are binding on the
rank and file members and the employer and in some cases on
other non-member workers.

Most unions claim a right of exclusivity. The union
has the authority to determine who may be a member of
the union and who may not.
Most unions assert a right to mandate that only its
members, and no others, may be permitted to work at
certain jobs.
Furthermore, the union contract is exclusive with
regard to the employer, an employer is generally not
permitted to seek out the services of another labor union or
hire another competing labor union even if he is
dissatisfied with the performance of the current labor
union.
These organizations may be comprised of individual

workers, professionals, past workers, or the unemployed.
The most common, but by no means only, purpose of these
organizations is "maintaining or improving the conditions
of their employment“
Over the last three hundred years, trade unions have

developed into a number of forms, influenced by differing
political and economic regimes.

The immediate objectives and activities of
trade unions vary, but may include:
 Provision of benefits to members:

Early trade unions, like Friendly Societies, often provided a
range of benefits to insure members against unemployment, ill
health, old age and funeral expenses. In many developed
countries, these functions have been assumed by the state;
however, the provision of professional training, legal advice and
representation for members is still an important benefit of trade
union membership.
 Collective bargaining:
Where trade unions are able to operate openly and are
recognized by employers, they may negotiate with employers
over wages and working conditions.
 Industrial Action:
Trade unions may organize strikes or resistance to
lockouts in furtherance of particular goals.
 Political activity:
Trade unions may promote legislation favorable to the
interests of their members or workers as a whole. To this
end they may pursue campaigns, undertake lobbying, or
financially support individual candidates or parties (such as
the Labour Party in Britain) for public office.

History of trade unions
Beginning in the eighteenth century, much of
Western society (with most changes occurring
earliest in Britain) witnessed a transformation from
an agrarian culture with craft-based production to a
culture shaped by the first industrial revolution.
Some of the changes brought on by this new order,
such as new work methods and downward pressure
on traditional wage structures, sparked rising alarm
in the crafts and guilds of the time, who feared
encroachment on their established jobs.
Additionally, the rapid expansion of industrial
society was to draw women, children, rural workers,
and immigrants to the work force in larger numbers
and in new roles. This pool of unskilled and semi-
skilled labour spontaneously organized in fits and
starts throughout its beginnings, and would later be
an important arena for the development of trade
unions.
2.7 INDUSTRY RELATIONS ISSUES AND MAJOR ORGANIZATIONS
Specific issues
(i) The employers' response
To date, many Asian and Pacific entrepreneurs - small, medium and large -
have relied on the low cost of goods and services and speed of delivery as the
core of their competitive advantage. On this basis, an employers' strategy in the
area of employment relations must focus on achieving:
1. appropriate attitudinal and behavioral changes, not only at enterprise,

but at other, levels;
2. a modern policy, legislative and institutional framework which ensures
an effective industrial relations system;
3. compensation systems linked to enterprise performance;
4. a more literate, skilled and adaptable workforce, which is capable of
experimentation and innovation;
5. more flexible forms of work organization and management; and
6. culturally sensitive management strategies, as firms invest within and
beyond the region.
 Attitudinal and behavioural changes

Greater worker involvement in the enterprise should be reinforced by
management making stronger efforts to improve relations with workers'

INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE
BREAD AND PASTRY

CBLM ATONIYA SKILLS
representatives (particularly, trade unions, where they are present). In
addition, collective bargaining remains an effective way to address issues of
mutual concern.
All of these elements - both IR and HRM - have to be properly integrated into
the corporate culture.
 Modern labor polices, legislation and institutions

Employers should be seeking "modern" labor policies, legislation and
institutions which encourage industrial harmony (by emphasizing prevention
not resolution of conflict). In particular, legislation should be proactive and
facilitative in relation to the parties' needs, and avoid unnecessary complexity,
while maintaining fair and reasonable minimum employment standards.
 Compensation systems linked to enterprise performance

The trend towards decentralized collective bargaining and IR arrangements in
the region has been based on the need to address efficiency and productivity
issues at their source, the individual enterprise business competitiveness is to
be achieved or maintained. As such payment systems are increasingly seen as
integral to HRM policies in enterprises, and are thereby linked to achieving
particular business objectives.
 A skilled and adaptable workforce

Education and training will play a vital role in promoting labor efficiency
through the enhancement of workforce skills, and the World Bank has
emphasized the significant link between skills development and a country's
manufacturing export capacity (World Bank 1993: 43 - 48).
Training of workers in narrow skills is no longer appropriate. Modern
technology is increasingly demanding broader skills and new mixes of
previously quite distinct skills. In addition, the rapid pace of technological
change demands an ability to adapt quickly; so, the formation of skills has to
rely not only on initial training, but equally on opportunities for retraining and
upgrading existing skills.
 Flexible forms of work organization and management

Flexibility at the workplace requires workers to have several skills and a
broader understanding of the production or work process to enable them to
carry out a range of activities. To achieve this outcome, managers and
supervisors need to be forward looking, inform and involve workers, and use
approaches which enable people to develop and use properly their talents and
abilities. In particular, they need to pay far greater attention to training and
skills development. The ability to adjust working time arrangements and the

identification and removal of restrictive work and management practices are
also important.
 Culturally-sensitive management strategies

Globalization involves managers and workers moving from one country to
another. In doing so, they enter into a new society and culture. Some aspects
of these cultures are obvious (eg, another language, other laws and customs,
etc) and can with the necessary goodwill be adapted to. But there are other
elements of culture which are not so visible. They include the assumptions
made and premises relied on by the members of a certain society; values and
unwritten codes of behaviour; and patterns of thinking and problem-solving.
They are what the people in that society take for granted. These elements are
the essence of a particular culture and are the most difficult to detect. A
manager or worker coming from and entirely different culture - with its own
never-questioned assumptions and values - may not perceive or understand
these elements or have difficulty accepting them. As such they can be the basis
for tension and conflict in the workplace.
Managers assuming work responsibilities in a new country must acquaint
themselves with both visible and invisible cultural traits, and adopt
appropriate strategies to ensure that cultural mismanagement considerations
do not become a source of reduced enterprise performance.
 Implementing a reform strategy

In implementing a reform agenda based on the above considerations, individual
firms should be encouraged (through, for example, "best practice" programmes)
to experiment in relation to skills development, work organization and other
forms of improved IR/HRM practices and seek to use the outcomes as a basis
for broader government or industry programmes to diffuse new practices on a
wider basis. Such initiatives might be undertaken through informal contact
with the wider group of firms with whom they conduct their business, and
could include local benchmarking exercises.
(ii) The roles of employers' organizations
Employers' organizations, like trade unions, face a difficult situation in

assisting their constituents in the face of the new demands being placed on
them by globalization.
A key function of employers' organizations has always been to act

as the mouthpiece for employers in seeking to influence the broad policy
environment in a manner conducive to their constituents' interests (in
Document No.
Date Developed:
INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE
BREAD AND PASTRY
Page 51 of 65
CBLM ATONIYA SKILLS
this respect, it might be noted that the IR function was originally, and in
many cases has remained, the cornerstone of the operations of many
employers' organizations). (de Silva 1996:3).
To achieve this objective, it is suggested that employers' organizations
should organize their operations around two functional "poles",
supported by a range of subsidiary services.
Employers' organizations need to be prepared to have a view on an
increasingly broader range of issues (eg, skills development, including in
the context of training and re-training, and covering both delivery and
compensation aspects; industry (including investment and taxation)
policy; the implications for business of privatization strategies; and the
like).
(iii) The roles of government and trade unions
As noted previously, whatever policies or actions may be promoted or

undertaken by one or more of the industrial relations parties will require a
response from or have repercussions for other parties or interests. This section
of the paper examines interactions with government and trade unions in the
context of progressing the agenda of employers' and their organizations.
The role of government
1. encourage and regulate foreign participation in national economic

development
2. ensure that the economic reforms currently being implemented in
various countries are accompanied by proper safety net programmes
3. Decide which industries to stimulate and how they can integrate various
macro- and micro-policies through a network of institutions that promote
economic growth with equity (Frenkel and Royal 1996:10).
4. Responsibility to ensure that these standards are met by all employers,
and, where those employers are foreign companies or MNC's, they must
be encouraged to adopt socially responsible attitudes in relation to
employment relationships and standards in their host country.
5. To take measures to equip workers with the skills to take up new
positions and to move from declining to new industries, possibly to new
localities.
6. Facilitate structural adjustment in an equitable manner (including, for
example, tax exemptions and development subsidies to firms, and
subsidies to workers, to assist relocation).

7. Support trade union strategies to encourage democratic governance,
awareness raising on key policy issues and training for union
representatives on organizational and technical issues.
8. Support of globalization has to rely on policy planning and delivery
services provided by the public sector.
9. Include trade unions in any public sector reform process and take
account of their major concerns.
10. Promote bipartite and tripartite institutions and processes to establish
appropriate labour policy and standards.
(iiii) The role of workers and their organizations
There is no question that trade unions still have a role in Asia and the Pacific.
But there is a need for more effective unionism.
Unionism which focuses on working with employers (and their organizations)
in implementing strategies to improve enterprise competitiveness and the
quality of work through improvements in work organization, Labour-
management relations and skills development, on the basis that an equitable
share for workers in productivity gains will be achieved (Frenkel and Royal
1996:31). This form of unionism is therefore proactive and strategic in
approach, and is no longer concerned with union actions which are restrictive
in nature (eg, seeking, by various means, to limit change). The development of
effective unionism (and, indeed, of trade union movements everywhere) is
contingent on the recognition and application of the rights of freedom of
association, to organize and to bargain collectively.
The needs of trade union organizations will vary from country to country in
seeking to build effective unions. For example, awareness raising and training
in relation to their role in a market-oriented economy will have a much higher
priority in the case of trade unions in countries in transition. But whatever
individual country circumstances, key objectives of national trade union
organizations must be to attract more workers into unions by improving
recruitment, offering better services and communicating more effectively with
and between members and officials. Strong leadership from, and agreement
and coordination on priority strategies among, trade union centres is critical.
In order to maintain support and influence at enterprise level, it will be
necessary to build and maintain an active workplace union organization. The
availability of more skilled and technically capable union representatives in the
workplace, supported by more professional and better resourced unions at
higher levels will also be crucial in achieving these objectives.
The extent to which trade unions can adopt and achieve advances through this
more proactive role will depend on a number of considerations, including:
government policy and attitudes at domestic and international levels; the

response(s) of employers and their organizations; and union leadership,
organization and strategies. However, given the considerable traditional and
current difficulties still facing trade union movements in Asia and the Pacific, a
fundamental change in union and worker fortunes may not arise until
individual countries develop and adopt higher cost and higher skill-based
modes of production. This will provide increased opportunities for worker
involvement in decision-making, requiring more democratic and independent
representation for the workforce. But it is also likely that additional legislative
prescription to provide labour with a more significant voice at both enterprise
and national levels, and better protection for workers' representatives in
undertaking their functions, will be required.
Industrial relations
The field of industrial relations looks at the relationship between management

and workers, particularly group of workers represented by a union.
-also called organizational relations the behavior of workers in organizations in
which they earn their living.
Perspective theories
-When studying the theories of industrial relations, there are three major
perspectives that contrast on their approach to the nature of workplace
relations the three views are generally described as the unitary, pluralist, and
Marxist perspective. The Marxist perspective is sometimes referred to as the
conflict model.
Unitary perspective
In unitarism, the organization is perceive as an integrated and harmonious
whole with the ideal of “one happy family” where are management and other
members of the staff all share a common purpose, emphasizing mutual
cooperation.
Pluralistic perspective
In pluralism the organization is perceived as being made up of powerful and
divergent sub-groups, each with its own legitimate loyalties and with their own
set of objectives and traders .
Marxist perspective
This view of industrial relations looks the nature of the capitalist society, where
there is a fundamental division of interest between capital and labor, and sees
workplace relations against this background.

provide adequate confidence that a product or service will satisfy given
requirements for quality.
For products, quality assurance is a part and consistent pair of quality
management proving fact-based external confidence to customers and other
stakeholders that a product meets needs, expectations, and other
requirements. QA assures the existence and effectiveness of procedures that
attempt to make sure - in advance - that the expected levels of quality will be
reached.
QA covers all activities from design, development, production, installation,
servicing to documentation. It introduced the sayings "fit for purpose" and "do
it right the first time". It includes the regulation of the quality of raw materials,
assemblies, products and components; services related to production; and
management, production, and inspection processes.
The term Quality Assurance, as used in the United States Nuclear Regulatory
Commission regulation 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, comprises all those
planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that
a structure, system, or component will perform satisfactorily in service. Quality
assurance includes quality control, which comprises those quality assurance
actions related to the physical characteristics of a material, structure,
component, or system which provide a means to control the quality of the
material, structure, component, or system to predetermined requirements.
One of the most widely used paradigms for QA management is the PDCA (Plan-
Do-Check-Act) approach, also known as the Shewhart cycle
 Quality management is a method for ensuring that all the activities
necessary to design, develop and implement a product or service are
effective and efficient with respect to the system and its performance.
Stakeholder may refer to:
 Stakeholder (corporate), a party who affects, or can be affected by, the
company's actions
o Stakeholder theory, identifies and models the groups which are
stakeholders of a corporation
 Stakeholder (law), a third party who temporarily holds money or property
while its owner is still being determined
PDCA ("Plan-Do-Check-Act") is an iterative four-step problem-solving process

typically used in quality control. It is also known as the Deming Cycle,
Shewhart cycle, Deming Wheel, or Plan-Do-Study-Act
