In the concept of outsourcing in the context of current business scenario.

In the concept of outsourcing in the context of current business scenario. Give you opinion outsourcing with the help of suitable organizational instance.

Ans. The Indian industry particularly after independence for over 40 years had been controlled by the economic policy of the government. They policy was influenced by political, economic reasons and also with an idea to allow industries to grow and meet the market needs. There were governmental restrictions on licensing, foreign exchange, import, encouragement to public sector. These restrictions impaired the growth of economy resulting in huge fiscal deficits, crisis in balance of payments, fall in foreign exchange reserves, growing foreign debts, trade deficits resulting in decline of India’s credit worthiness in International Market and The International Monetary Fund which had advanced huge loans to the Indian Government, imposed drastic conditions for new loans. This resulted in the liberalisation of government’s economic policy. As a result steps taken by government include deli censing of industries, removal of restriction of foreign investment, relaxation of Foreign Exchange Regulation Act and Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act MRTP; a policy of privatization of certain public sector undertakings, curtailing their role, liberalisation of imports, lowering of tariffs introduction of new exchange rate system. Economic reforms include monetary, fiscal reforms, control on inflation, controlling subsidies, restructuring public sector and exit policy.

a) Impact of the changed policy: It changed the direction of the country from socialistic pattern to market economy. The effective change that occurred were intense competition entry of new multinationals, with increasing stake of their participation, competition intensification due to liberalisation of imports. Frequent changes in international environment and vulnerable Indian market had impact on competition. These changes necessitated the new concepts of total quality, productivity management cost reduction, restructuring the organisations.
b) Impact of Human Resource Management: The new economic policy has adverse impact on employment particularly so because of recessionary conditions, and import policy. New employment opportunities in the organized sector have reduced and the employers and cutting downs the employee numbers to remain competitive in the market. The modern technology requires employees of different skills, with high degree of dedication. The existing employees with outdated skills and knowledge will have to be retrenched and reduced as they will not effectively contribute to the new techniques, machines and process. This has resulted in the government of India introducing and permitting exit/Golden hand shake policy to get rid of unwanted manpower.
