In this age of competition, companies must continue to upgrade and improve the quality of their product if they wish to survive in this age of competition. They must get their returns quickly before the technology of the product becomes outdated. Hence, they spend a considerable amount on product research and market research.

There should be good seating arrangements for those who work for longer hours at the table. The working conditions should be safe for those who work on machine. Special care should be taken of their safety and health. Medical assistance should be provided in case of accidents.

The working hours should not be long. The employees should work in a free atmosphere. For instance in USA the juniors and the seniors can freely give their suggestions and counter-suggestions. New ideas are fully welcomed by the boss.
All the employees should be treated equally. Each and every employee should be made to feel he is special. Every employee makes a valuable contribution there should be no discrimination on the basis of seniority or designation. There should be no exploitation. Right remuneration will improve the working efficiency.
