...The Indian textile industry is one of the oldest and most significant industries in the country. It accounts for around 4 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP), 14 per cent of industrial production and over 13 per cent of the country's total export earnings. In fact, it is the largest foreign exchange earning sector in the country. Moreover, it provides employment to over 35 million people. The Indian textile industry is estimated to be around US$ 52 billion and is likely to reach US$ 115 billion by 2012. The domestic market is likely to increase from US$ 34.6 billion to US$ 60 billion by 2012. It is expected that India's share of exports to the world would also increase from the current 4 per cent to around 7 per cent during this period. Textile industry provides one of the most fundamental necessities of the people. It is an independent industry, from the basic requirement of raw materials to the final products, with huge value-addition at every stage of processing . Infact , it is estimated that one out of every six households in the country directly or indirectly depend on this sector. Here we analyze the sector's dynamics through Porter's five-factor model. 1) Threat of New entrants Indian Textile Industry is very dependent on personal contacts and experience. The new actors would have to bring some kind of client base along with the new establishment. Product differentiation may constitute a barrier of entry as manufacturers are heavily dependent on references...

...Total Quality Management Vol. 21, No. 9, September 2010, 931 –951 RESEARCH PAPER Total quality management (TQM) strategy and organisational characteristics: Evidence from a recent WTO member Dinh Thai Hoanga, Barbara Igelb∗ and Tritos Laosirihongthongc a University of Economics, Hochiminh City, Vietnam; bSchool of Management, Asian Institute of Technology, Pathumthani 12120, Thailand; cIndustrial Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Thammasat University, Pathumthani 12121, Thailand This paper presents a comparative study on the relationship between implementing total quality management (TQM) and organisational characteristics (size, type of industry, type of ownership, and degree of innovation) in a newly industrialised country in South East Asia. Vietnam has become the 150th member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) since January 2007, and this is the first empirical study to examine TQM practices in Vietnam. Analysis through Structural Equation Modelling, t-test and MANOVA of survey data from 222 manufacturing and service companies produced three major findings. First, this study supports previous research findings that TQM can be considered as set of practices. Second, industries in Vietnam have deployed certain TQM practices (customer focus and top management commitment) at much higher levels than others, namely information and analysis system, education and training, employee empowerment, and process management. Finally, MANOVA shows a clear difference...

...The dollar extended losses against a basket of currencies after the report, while prices for U.S. government debt rose. Business spending on capital goods has been undermined by the buoyant dollar, which has eroded overseas profits of multinational companies. At the same time, lower energy prices have cut into domestic oil production, reducing demand for equipment by oil-field companies, including Schlumberger and Halliburton. Schlumberger, the world's No.1 oil-field services provider, cut its capital expenditure plans for this year by about $500 million to $2.5 billion. Halliburton slashed its capex by about 15 percent to $2.8 billion. The strong dollar and reduced capex spending by oil-field firms combined with a harsh winter and softer global demand to slow U.S. growth at the start of the year. The dollar has appreciated 12.1 percent against the currencies of the United States' main trading partners since last June, largely driven by expectations of tighter monetary policy. Procter & Gamble, the world's largest household products maker, on Thursday reported a 8.3 percent decline in quarterly sales, which it blamed on the dollar. Read MoreWhere America drinks the most: The trouble spots In March, shipments of core capital goods—which are used to calculate equipment spending in the government's gross domestic product measurement—fell 0.4 percent after a downwardly revised 0.1 percent gain in February.

...According to the Oxford Dictionaries (2015) a thought can be referred to as an opinion or idea produced through thinking, or happening abruptly in the mind. The process of thinking is distinctive to humans since they are believed to be intellectual creatures. Undeniably, the thinking procedure is helpful to mortals. Humans exist in a culture that requires them to conform to certain established values. In an attempt to live and follow those values, humans are supposed to think through their deeds. Through ideas, people can live together and deal with challenges that might come up. The process of growing ideas might come about at an individual level, or it might take a communal approach. Thoughts appear in two ways; constructive and harmful. Constructive thoughts result in good actions, whereas harmful thoughts produce bad acts. To start with, too much thinking is detrimental to ones’ well being. Thinking is part of life. On the other hand, studies show that too much thinking damages the brain (Alcock, 2010). Specialists recommend that people ought to know how to avoid thinking. Thinking a lot often happens when somebody is under extreme pressure. Over-thinking may perhaps come owing to people residing in demanding environs or the minute they face tough situations. It is recommended that people need to seek out expert help while in such situations. Support from friends and family is just as vital. These concerns emphasize the importance of sharing ones’ thoughts. Unnecessary thinking...

...USEFUL ASPECT OF SOCIOLOGY In my opinion, sociology is useful because it gives us another way of understanding society and why people do what they do. If it were not for sociology, we would have only psychology for understanding why people act the way that they do. We would not be able to notice that poor people act differently from people who are not poor. We would only be able to look at individual reasons for behavior -- not reasons having to do with group attributes. We would also not be able to understand the impact that various institutions have on society because we would not think about them. We would not be able to think about the impact of having lots of people going to church, or of having a high divorce rate. All of these things are things that sociology looks at more than any other social science. Sociology is the study of society. It can help us understand society's structure and function. Once we understand it, we can apply what we learn to try to fix society's ills. It's not always easy to understand people, but sociology gives us an opportunity to try. Sociology is an incredibly valuable discipline for a number of reasons. Not only does it allow us to consider why things are the way they are in society and not to accept the status quo, but it also helps us examine the stages that have led up to the way our society functions and enables us to challenge certain "given" elements. It is a great way of allowing ourselves to look upon what is familiar and accepted...
