The study on workers participation in managementdecision:-
The concept of worker participation represents a popular theme in theanalysis of the world of work among scholars in the fields of industrial sociology,industrial Relations as well management. It refers to any arrangement which isdesigned to involve low cadre employees (workers) in the important decisionmaking within the workplace. This implies that rather than saddling only a groupwithin the enterprise (for instance, management) with the responsibility of making
decisions, all those who are to be affected by these decisions (including theworkers) would be involved in its formulation and implementation. In recent time,scholars have directed increasing attention to the issue of worker participationand its boarder corollary, industrial democracy (mankidy, 1984: Yesufu, 1984,Adewumi 1989; Verma and Syha; Weller 1993; Kester and pinaud, 1996; Adu-Amankwah and Kester; 1999). These rest on the belief that the organizationalgoals of high productivity and harmonious industrial relations are best achievedwhen the higher level needs of the human elements (workers) are satisfied.Worker participation implies arrangement designed to involve workers theenterprises
This allows for workers involvement in the initiation, formulation andimplementation of decisions within the enterprise. The concept can also beunderstood in terms of a new approach to industry and society in which peoplewant to be interested with the taking of decisions which have direct bearing onthem. MacGregor (1960) contend that worker participation consists basicallyincreasing opportunity under suitable conditions for people to influence decisionswhich affect them. In is a special case of delegation in which the subordinate gaincontrol, greater freedom of choice with respect to bridging the communicationGap between the management and the workers. This serves to create a sense ofbelonging among the workers as well as a conducive environment in which boththe workers would voluntary contribute to healthy industrial relations.
Employee participation is the process where by employee are involved indecision making processes, rather than simply action on orders. Employeeparticipation is part of a process of empowerment in the workplace.
Empowerment involves decentralizing power within the organization toindividual decision makers further down the line. Team working is a key part ofthe empowerment process. Team members are encouraged to make decisions

for themselves in line with guidelines and frameworks established in selfmanaging teams.
Employee participation is in part a response to the quality movementwithin organizations. Individual employees are encouraged to take responsibilityfor quality in terms of carrying out activities, which meet the requirements of there
customers. The internal customer is someone within the organization thatreceives the produce of service provided by their supplier within theorganization. External customers are buyers and users outside of theorganization. Employee participation is also part the move towards humanresource development in modern organization. Employees are trusted to makedecisions for themselves and the organization. This is a key motivational tool.
Employee participation is also referred to as employee involvement (EI)Examples of employee participation include:
i. Project teams or quality circles in which employees work on project ortasks with considerable responsibility being delegated to the team.ii. Suggestion schemes where employees are given channels whereby theycan suggest new ideas to managers within in the organization. Often they receiverewards for making appropriate suggestions.iii. Consultation exercises and meeting whereby employees are encouragedto share ideas.iv. Delegation of responsibility within the organizations ground levelemployees have to be given considerable responsibility because they are dealingwith customers on a day-to-day basis often in novel situations. Such employeesneed to be trusted to make decisions for them.
v. Multi- channel decision making processes. In such situations decisions arenot only made in a downward direction, they also result from communicationupwards. Sideways, and in many other directions within organization.

The Logistics Industry
Globally, the logistics industry is valued at US$ 3.5 trillion.
The U.S., which contributes to over 25% of the global industry value, spendsclose to 9% of its GDP on logistic services.
The Indian Logistics Industry is presently estimated at US$ 90 billion. (CII)
The industry has generated employment for 45 million peoplein the country incomparison with the IT and ITeS sector which employs approximately 4.3 million
people.
It is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) ofapproximately 8% over the next three to five years. (CII)
Third Party Logistics (3PL) Solutions is slated to grow at a compound annualgrowth rate (CAGR) of over 16% from 2007-10. Consequently, 3PL service
providers are expected to corner an increased share of the Indian Logistics pie,from 6% in FY06 to 13% in FY11, at a CAGR of 25% (CII).
The primary growth drivers of this industry are as under:
oInvestments in the infrastructure sector amounting to US$ 350 billion:Increased efficiency and productivity of the transport system wouldresult in lower transit times.
o Streamlining of the indirect tax structure:
The introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) and the proposed introduction of asingular Goods and Services Tax (GST) are expected to significantly reduce thenumber of warehouses manufacturers are required to maintain in different states,thereby resulting in a substantial increase in demand for integrated logisticssolutions.

oRobust trade growthStrong economic growth and liberalization have led to considerable increase indomestic and international trade volumes over the past five years. Consequently,the requirement for transportation, handling and warehousing is growing at arobust pace and is driving the demand for integrated logistics solutions.o Globalization of manufacturing systems
Globalization of manufacturing systems coupled with advancements in technologyare increasingly compelling companies across verticals to concentrate on their corecompetencies and avail the cost saving potential of outsourcing. This is expected tocontribute to an increase in the need for integrated logistic solutions, which is theniche of every Third Party Logistics Service (3PL Services) provider.
The industry has been valued at US$ 125 billion in 2010. (CII)
A snapshot of the FDI regulations governing the industry is as under: i. 100%FDI under the automatic route is permitted for all logistic services except servicesmentioned in points ii and iii below.
ii. FDI up to 100% subject to FIPB approval is permitted for courier services.
iii. FDI up to 49% under the automatic route is permitted for air transport services,
including air cargo services.It is pertinent tomention in this context, that PressNote 1 (2007) that is expected to beimminently notified by the DIPP proposes toincrease the limit of FDIon air cargo services in 74%.
The industry has been at the receiving end of increasing interest from theprivate equity sector. The year 2007 witnessed just under US$ 1 billion in privateequity investments in this industry, representing approximately 7% of total privateequity investments during the year, against 3% in the previous year.
