Motivation OUR ENGINEERS ARE JUST NOT MOTIVATED Faculty: Dr. Vinit Singh Chauhan Situation: You are a consultant to the manager of mechanical engineering for a large company(8,000 employees,Rupess 700 crores annual sales) that manufactures industrial equipment. The manager had been in this position for six months, having moved from a similar position in a much smaller company. Manager: I just can't seem to get these guys to perform. They are all extremely competent, but they just don't seem to be willing to exert the kind of effort that we need and expect to have if this company is going to remain successful. Consultant: What type of work do they do? Manager : Primarily designing minor modifications to existing equipment lines to keep up with our competition and to satisfy special customer requirements. Consultant : How do you evaluate their performance? Manager : Mainly on whether they meet project deadlines. It's hard to evaluate the quality of their work, since most of it is fairly routine and the designs are frequently altered later by the production engineers to facilitate production processes. Consultant: Are they meeting their deadlines reasonably well? Manager : No, that's the problem. What's worse is that they don't really seem too concerned about it. Consultant : What financial rewards do you offer them? Manager : These people are all well-paid - some of the best salaries for mechanical engineers that I know of anywhere. Base pay is determined mainly on the basis of seniority, but there is also a company wide profit sharing plan. At the end of each year, the company distibutes 10 percent of its profit after taxes to the employees. The piece of the pie that you get is in proportion to your basic salary. This kind of plan was used in the company I used to work for, and it seemed to have a highly motivating effect for them. They also get good vacations,

If the native has combinations in his or her chart which indicate a troublesome married life the solution you have suggested is to match the charts.

Indian Hotel Industry

...INDIAN HOTELS INDUSTRY Consumer confidence low; revival contingent on global environment QUARTERLY REVIEW March 2012 ICRA expects the Indian Hotels industry to finish 2011-12 on a weaker note with subdued pricing power eroding margins. Although some revival in operational metrics was witnessed during late 2010-11, the industry continued to lack the pricing power to drive out of its current stagnancy. Globally weak macroeconomic scenario, the European sovereign debt crisis, geo-political turmoil in the Arab countries, high interest rates, inflation and a muted domestic corporate performance during the current fiscal (year to March 31, 2012) have sapped the industry’s ability to sustain inflation adjusted Average Room Realizations (ARRs). Muted ARRs and high costs have led to one of the weakest nine month (9M) periods (April-December-11) in over five years. With uncertainty continuing to cloud the near term, wavering business/consumer confidence and a sluggish economy, there is no significant trigger for the industry during the next two-three quarters. While the start of the next season (in Q3, 2012-13) may bring some relief to the industry in some specific markets, we expect real traction to return to the industry only by 2013-14; overall, we expect this to be a slow and long slog to recovery. We expect ARR growth during the current fiscal to be limited to around 5%, followed by around 5-8% during 2012-13. In the current inflationary environment, RevPAR growth of around 6-7%...
