15. CASE STUDY :

The president of ABC airlines, seeing that costs were getting out of control as the company grew, brought in as an executive assistant a brilliant young man who was a certified cost accountant. The assistant was told about the company's problem of rising costs and was asked for his help in solving the problem.

The new assistant gathered a staff of high-quality industrial engineers, financial analysts, and recent toppers from IIM Bangalore. After laying out the company's problem, he assigned them to investigate cost problems and management methods in the airline's operations, maintenance, engineering, and sales departments. After a number of studies, the president's assistant found many sources of inefficiency in the various departments and initiated a number of changes in operating practices. In addition, he made many reports to the president. Outlining in detail the inefficiencies, his staff had found and the measures being taken to correct them. These reports also showed, with ample supporting detail, the crores of rupees that his actions were saving the company.

Just as these cost saving programs were being implemented, the vice-presidents in charge of operations, maintenance, engineering, and sales descended on the president and insisted that the assistant be discharged.

Questions :

(a) Why should the assistant, who was doing so well, be so much resented by the
vice-presidents ? What went wrong ?

(b) Assuming that the findings of the assistant and his staff were accurate, what should
have been done by the president, the assistant, the vice presidents, and others to
make these findings useful ?

Questions 22-29. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow :

Progress in human knowledge has, no doubt, led to the development of applied sciences and technology which has, in turn , profoundly altered man's environment. In primitive societies the expectation of life is still about 30 years ; even in a country like England in the nineteenth century it was only about 40 years whereas today it is around 70 years. In many countries like India and Sri Lanka the death rate has been halved by wiping out malaria, small-pox and such other deadly diseases. At the same time, the world has failed to control births, which in developing countries run at 40 to 45 per thousand compared with 15 to 120 per thousand in Europe. The result is a dangerous population explosion.

About two centuries ago in 1789, the Rev. Thomas Malthus, the unknown English curate, published a booklet called Essay on Population. In this book Malthus made a terrible prognosis that human population will soon outrun the means of subsistence. We do not know when the doom will fall but things have not exactly worked out the way that Malthus predicted because food production has, in a way, kept pace with the growth of population. Malthusian theory predicted that population would increase in geometrical progression while agricultural production would increase in arithmetical progression. The real problem is one of the imbalances in population growth and food in the different parts of the world.

The advanced nations face no population problem since they were steady setting down to the zero
growth rate in population. Zero growth means that population will keep steady through generations

and that births will be just enough to compensate deaths, never more. Advanced countries, by and

large, remained surplus in food production. It is the developing and underdeveloped countries
that have the dual problems, heavy shortages in vital articles of food and galloping population
figures ; as a result, the standard of living is very low. One may think that only the developing and

underdeveloped countries that have this problem but the developed countries cannot live in isolation in an age of supersonic transport. The threat of unmanageable population pressure is very much . like the threat of nuclear war.
