A Study of Personnel Management-Policies in Selected Super Bazars in India

Abstract

Urbanisation and industrialisation are proceeding at a fairly rapid pace in South and South-East Asia during the post-war period . This process of rapid growth of towns and cities is responsible for the emergence of fixed income earning groups which mainly comprise industrial workers and the middle classes . The Consumer Cooperative Movement has a great role to play in protecting and promoting the interests of these newly emerging groups of people who are exposed to a number of problems such as adulteration of goods, unhealthy business practices and rapidly rising prices. Although consumer cooperatives have been functioning in different countries of South-East Asia for several decades now, .barring some successful examples of consumer cooperatives, generally speaking, they have not become a powerful force in the distributive trade. The present report is an outcome of the Study of eight Cooperative Super Bazars in India . The study was carried out in close collaboration with the National Cooperative Consumers'' Federation of India and the Vaikunth Mehta National Institute of Cooperative Management.
