Identifying the process of Manpower Management in the growth and success of Indian Industries

Introduction             
Arial">The globalization of economy has brought rapid changes in all walks of human life. The fast pacing of innovations, intricacies and complexities of human and mechanical interactions intersect with trans-generational transfer of knowledge explicitly and tacitly acquired in different ways and modes of acquisition.             In the realm of human resource management with other influential districts within an organization emphasized the vital role of individuals as the center of all the processes. One great consideration in defining and formulating effective organizational structure and management strategies is the role of individuals within its sphere. We cannot deny the fact that technology brought magnificent output in any organizational production but while technology can be an aid, the centrality of individuals or people has to be fully recognized and reinforced continuously. Such centrality of individuals merit incentives of being agent of knowledge transfer and knowledge source.             Moreover, our identification of individuals as to its role in the growth and success of an organization is considered essential, more so in various domains of worldly interactions.             Individuals as considered manpower source of economic entities, let us examine and identify the process on how the manpower development is done within a particular industrial location such as India. In this way, we can be able to locate necessary intercepts, adaptive strategies, and management of human resource, knowledge, and objects. Identifying Economic and Industrial Status of India             In the recent landscape on economic and business status of India it configures a systematic, effective, and organized strategic planning which eventually boosted an economic and business success specifically on IT, hardware and software industries and other major technological businesses.             India’s richness on historical and cultural heritage unsurprisingly creates a gestalt that drives individuals to labor for progress and development. Its progress in economic platform is credited in its sincerity and trust in capitalizing into a knowledge-based management through conventional education and proper training. Nonetheless, such economic thrust stabilizes India’s political and social condition.             Recently, researchers dubbed India as business process outsourcing hub in Asia. Added to such phenomenon is the seemingly “farfetched” but not really is, Information Technology industry, in which constructs a magnetic field which attracts investments from foreign investors and countries abroad. The IT industry in India brought bonds of profit and income to the government and business units. However, such phenomenon and rapidity of economic boom in India must be indebted on its own way of carrying strategic and positive developing of manpower force.             In essence, India shapes it own economy and the ways in which it sees great possibility of developing and progressing its economic status are but effective and strategic.             The stabilized economy and business in India caused by several factors. The dynamic play of business industries reduced the friction for economic crisis. However, continuous update for more effective methods and strategies should be mull over akin to ensuring human resources and manpower development. Underlining possible reasons to India’s economic and business progress             
Arial">We were told that in every action there is an equivalent reaction. One move affects the other, and what makes one move is caused by an unmoved mover. Hence, we derived in acknowledging its epistemological explanation that is the cause and effect relationship.             In this context, there are underlying causes by why India became such an archetype of trying to move in rapid pace towards a developing country among Asia’s neighborhood countries. Possible reasons which many foreign investors attracted to land their business in India may be summed up in following arguments:             First, location attractiveness and workforce capability provide investors a more suitable area to land their business. Presumably, investors spent low costs on infrastructures and the same with workforce. The availability of large number of skilled and trained technical manpower passed the global standard. Moreover, the low costs in manpower in India have an edge against other countries, and an advantage to the interests of the foreign and domestic industries.                  Second, Research/Development Centers and technological advancement attract both local and foreign investors. Much of India’s bureaucratic governance focused on developing research institutions and development centers to cater for scientific and technological advancement. This expression manifests in the prevalence of IT industry within the economic zones of India. Such capitalization on S&T provides a suitable locale for investments and business operations. Highlighting its importance with technological advancement accentuates a global consciousness and thus it bears fruition as considered to be the most competitive supplier of skilled IT professionals and desired supplier of software solutions to developed countries.             Third, economic and political stability conjures confidence and security among foreign investors. This reality is proven in the course of history. Terrorism attacks, political circus, and social issues may lead investors to fear of losing their stakes. Therefore, stability in economic and political landscape is vital in the growth and progress of a country desiring to pace itself towards becoming a developed nation.             These three fundamental reasons I think are adequate in considering the issue on how India managed to develop its economic and business condition so rapidly and without ceasing. It is in this line of thought in which we come to inquire some significant elements in which India conjures in order to shape an economic boom and attracts business ventures from local and foreign investors.             Now, we come to ask the process on manpower development about how it is being done in Indian industries. Manpower Development in Indian Industries             
Arial">In the previous discussion we underlined basic assumptions about the reasons why India so rapidly managed to develop its economic and business entities. Now, we are going to diagnose some important parts of economic and business management subjects in which Indian industries believed on its capability of generating high ends productivity and high stakes of income.             One important factor in developing an economic and business stability is to produce and develop competitive manpower solutions. In short, manpower development is pivotal in any industries, since it does not only entails physical power but most especially mental capability, as Bacon believed, knowledge is man’s power.             At this point, I would like to present a concretization on how manpower development is done in Indian industries. Citing evidences would support the previous arguments and assumptions. Moreover, it will lead us to a tacit knowledge on how manpower development is done, yet, will make us understand the intercepts, adaptive and effective strategies employed.             There are two specific examples by which we can precipitate concrete answers to the process made by Indian industries on manpower development. These are namely, R.B Grover article entitled: Strategy Followed by India in Providing Trained Manpower for Nuclear Industry, and World Bank’s (2000) report on India Scientific and Technical Manpower Development in India.             These two different articles exemplified the process on manpower development and in here we can be able to extricate certain important points on how manpower development is done in Indian industries. Extracts from Strategy Followed by India in Providing Trained Manpower for Nuclear Industry             In this article Grover presented strategies used for training or for inter-generational transfer of knowledge. He argued that though in India career in science and engineering provided lucrative career opportunities, it was not until the globalization of economy and rapid changes in economic development when science and engineering are unsought career, losing its grandeur and beauty but to some classical scientists and engineers were consistent. However, India did not stop in establishing nuclear research centers in many academic institutions. But because of the tarnished beauty of science and engineering as academic pursuit, the industry must develop and plan strategies in order to attract “good quality manpower.”             Furthermore, Grover illustrates how the nuclear industry set up a training school for young scientists and engineers as basic ground of producing quality manpower. This training school was based on three main attributes of industry’s concept.             First, that student should be equipped with education broad enough for him to be retrained with an alternative specialized training.             Second, specialized program must be followed by assured placement.             Third, knowledge transfer must be set in its tacit mode.             In addition, Grover admitted that this became totally effective, thereby conjured other initiatives that cater attraction from young professionals. With all the industry’s proactive and efforts, the government with its mandate allowed the nuclear industry to establish Homi Bhabha National Institute, a graduate university which offers different academic programs on nuclear research and related pursuits. This initiative attracts many young professionals, Indian, in particular to engage in science and nuclear research. This development creates attraction from the foreign investors in which expressed their interest on setting up research facilities which they are taking advantage of availability of skilled and English speaking manpower.             Such new initiatives point us to simple idea that is to make a career in sciences and in particular in nuclear science and engineering more attractive. Moreover, human resource management and knowledge management are also central in manpower development since both occupy varied spaces in which reinforce capabilities and competence of manpower. Extracts from India Scientific and Technical Power Development in India             
Arial">This study which was sponsored by the World Bank presents many extracts on how India developed manpower skills. The entire study focused primarily on the role of education and academic pursuits of individuals as basic necessity on manpower development before it goes to work in various industries.             According to the data presented herein, World Bank laid down major issues concerning the manpower and technical development of India. The following are assumed major issues which need to examine:             First, Over-centralization and lack of autonomy and accountability is one of the major issues which resulted to an increased bureaucracies at all levels, malpractice in examinations, outdated curricula, disinterested faculty, lack of expertise in authority and wasteful practices. Moreover, interference of government official and political reps with the functioning of the institutions in admissions, appointment, and promotions, affects academic values and responsibility of proper appointed authorities.             Second, Resource constraint and wastage caused diminishing of quality improvement in scientific and technical institutions.             Third, poor quality and relevance depicts the inappropriate modes of instruction and the absence of curricula and course syllabi of modern topic that reflect the current state of art and that anticipate future innovations. Further, the inertia and bureaucratic obstacles add to poor quality of education.             Fourth, the physical and intellectual isolation of researchers in S&T sector has resulted in the wastage of resources due to the duplication of research and investigating derived projects.             Fifth, poor technology /infrastructure support which leads to poor quality on research-based studies.             The sixth is limited access and regional disparity which education became inaccessible in most remote areas in regional locations.             These major issues presented the inadequacy of educational system or industry of making individuals equip with necessary knowledge as tools of empowering them to produce quality manpower.             However, the institute provides strategic reforms as to create quality manpower. Let us examine the following strategic reforms:             First, empowerment and accountability of academic institutions is very important. This underlines the freedom of individual teaching institutions from the regressive bureaucratic controls of many bodies and to make them fully accountable for their performance.             Second, the optimal utilization of resources leads to maximizing the utilization of available resources, space and equipments.             Third, the collaboration with well-established institutions abroad in research, educational programs, and conferences brought mobilization of additional financial resources from the government             Fourth, establishing effective quality assurance mechanism will lead to increase of quality and effectiveness of teaching by giving incentives, rewards, and scholarship grant.             Fifth, networking to enhance capacity, improve quality and produce excellence asserts the need of creating centers for excellence.             Sixth, increasing access and reducing regional imbalances maybe avoided through giving provision through financial and academic assistance to rural/disadvantaged but potential students.             These strategic reforms clearly purports the sincerity and determination of authorities within the industry to greatly emphasized the manpower development of individuals as it affects later on to the workplace they are into.               The discussion provides us with clear and specific idea on how manpower development is done in Indian industries. Putting into mind the examples articulated above, it offers significant points in management. It boils down to the idea of handling human resource facilities. This means, emphasizing on the development of manpower, of making individuals equipped with necessary skills and expertise is tantamount to human resource management responsibility.             
Arial">Moreover, strategic planning and initiatives are natural to human resource management and development. In any business, the need of strategy does not only rely on the general purview of management but it specifically assigned to human resource management experts Conclusion             
Arial">Here we identified and diagnosed how manpower development is done in Indian industries. The importance of such identification and diagnosis is the fact that it becomes significant in the economic and business development.             India with its emphasis on manpower development brought rapid changes in its economic and business life. The strong attraction from foreign investors to land their stakes in India symbolizes its effective strategic planning on manpower development. Moreover, signifies its capitalization on improving manpower in order to generate or create desirable competitive output. As the world goes through global electrocution, each economic zone should be aware and ready to face this rigidity of demands as not to be left behind. Credit:ivythesis.typepad.com
