This book analyzes the choices and constraints of management within
the Bangladesh garment industry and how management negotiates these
challenges to ensure the global garment supply chain is
sustainable. Exploring the international South Asian garment
industry and using middle management and the owners of Bangladeshi
factories as a case study, the book assesses the limits and costs
of globalization for Bangladesh, and outlines the challenges of the
fast-fashion business model for the global market. It focusses on
the changing dynamics of the entrepreneur class, how they manage
factories and their experiences with Accord-Alliance, and the
challenges of sustainability. Within these four broader themes, the
author critically examines management strategies towards compliance
and labour productivity, transnational governance, buyer-supplier
relationships, and power dynamics. This book is the first to
explore management's perceptions of workers, buyers, and government
through an analysis of four factories which demonstrate the role of
mid-level management, how supervisors treat production workers,
workers' impact on innovation, welfare programmes as well as CSR
policies, and the impact of COVID-19. Offering new perspectives on
Bangladesh's garment export industry, this book will be of interest
to researchers in the field of policy studies, labour studies,
South and South-East Asian studies, development studies,
international trade, and political science.

Broken Promises of Globalization: The Case of the Bangladesh
Garment Industry analyzes the consequences of the latest wave of
globalization within the context of the Bangladesh garment
industry's integration into world markets and production chains.
Shahidur Rahman has found that although globalization has created
opportunities, the process of globalization has also triggered a
deformed development leaving Bangladesh increasingly vulnerable to
shifts and tensions within the world trading regime. Bangladesh s
vulnerability, experienced as a constraining framework by all the
major actors in dependent industrialization, is of particular
importance to the progress both of workers and of Bangladesh s
industrializing modernizers in the garment industry. This book
intends to respond to three questions. First, has the garment
industry been able to counteract the vulnerability that women
garment workers had experienced in their villages? Second, is the
formation of a welfare committee a substitute model for unions when
it comes to protecting women s rights? Finally, how is a Least
Developing Country dealing with both domestic and external
pressures in its response to globalization? Rahman argues that in
spite of the opportunities created by the growth of the garment
industry, the key actors such as workers, entrepreneurs, unions,
and even the government have become vulnerable in the process of
the global integration of this industry. This is an ethnographic
study that tells the story of the rise, growth, and demise of a
Bangladeshi garment company. From a broader approach, an internal
force such as the government of Bangladesh is not alone in being
responsible for pushing the workers into a vulnerable position;
external pressure on the state is also responsible for intensifying
the vulnerability of Bangladeshi institutions and actors. Broken
Promises of Globalization exposes the crisis Bangladeshi garment
companies face as a result of the momentous pressures emanating
from the regime of neo-liberal globalization. This ethnographic
study, exploring a wide range of contemporary and recent
development issues, holds particular relevance for students and
scholars of sociology, political science, political economics,
labor, and development studies.
Organizations are run and managed by the working force, who are
widely known as human resources. While it is necessary to guide and
control the human resources in a proper manner so that
organisation's values and norms are maintained, proper human
resources are placed in proper place through proper manner, working
conditions are maintained to ensure reciprocal and sociable
relationship between staff, proper compensation benefits are
ensured and appropriate steps are taken for staff capacity
development and etc. For this purpose it is necessary for an
organisation to have such a systematic, concise, comprehensive and
cohesive instrument, which could guide every level of staff to
maintain the personnel related matters in their own working
situation. This policy contained employment, working hours,
compensation and benefit, promotion and service records, leave,
travel, staff capacity development, separation and disciplinary
measures, handling staff grievances etc.
