...In Malaysia, the provision for education is the biggest challenge for the government as the nation strives to become a fully developed country by the year 2020. One solution is to use technology as an enabler to bring education to the masses. Universities are taking up the challenge by updating the content of their programs but more importantly, utilizing the latest technologies to improve the delivery systems. One of the emerging delivery systems much talked about is Open and Distance Education which is fast becoming the way of providing education to the masses. As a result of this new phenomenon, in August 1999, the Minister of Education invited Multimedia Technology Enhancement Operations Sdn. Bhd. (METEOR), a consortium of 11 public universities in the country, to set up an open university. The move by the Minister led to the establishment of Open University Malaysia (OUM) in August 2000 followed by its official launching on 26 August 2002 by the Right Honorable Dato Seri Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, the then Prime Minister of Malaysia. OUM is the seventh private university in Malaysia. Although incorporated as a private university under the Private Higher Education Institutions Act 1996, the University leverages on the quality, prestige and capabilities of its strategic partners - a consortium of the 11 public universities.

INTRODUCTION Human resources are comprised of individuals in the workforce of an organization. In the article by Rishma Vedd, and Reza Kouhy. (2001), Management Accounting & Strategic Human Resource Management, Wright & McMahan (1992) had defined human resources as the pool of employees under the firm’s control in a direct employment relationship. In a more simple word, human resources also known as labors, which is one of the four factors of production. An organization’s human resources should be managed to maximize return on investment in the organization’s human capital and minimize financial risk by aligning skilled and qualified individuals to the organization’s ongoing and future business plans. According to article by Rishma Vedd, and Reza Kouhy. (2001), Management Accounting & Strategic Human Resource Management, Human resources management is needed in order to achieve organization’s goals. Since there is no universal agreement on the meaning of Human Resources Management, many definitions are available. Armstrong (1995) had defined Human Resources Management as a strategic...

Abstract This paper analyses the implications of differing global demographic trends for India’s competitiveness in outsourcing and offshoring. It also briefly notes the implications of differing demographic trends among the Indian states.

India has used the labor cost advantage to gain reasonable market share in these activities. It however faces serious internal and external challenges in sustaining its international competitiveness, particularly with respect to labor cost....
