Modern Industrial Relations in India A study of modern industrial relations in India can be made in three distinct phases. The first phase can be considered to have commenced from about the middle of the nineteenth century and ended by the end of the First World War. The second phase comprises the period thereafter till the attainment of the independence in 1947, and the third phase represents the post-independence era.
The emerging of the first Industrial Revolution from 1820-1870 had played a crucial role in the economic, social, and political development of the United States. In fact, the name was given the instant in which machines changed the way of people’s lives as well as their methods of production. As industries and factories ascended, more people began to move from farms to big cities.The drastic change of this world couldn’t have been possible without the founders of these brilliant inventions. However
Background on industrial robot In this era of advanced technology, humans are dependent on industrial robots. From cellphones, cars, ships, planes, until the space rocket, an industrial robot helped build it. As a result, industrial robots are increasing exponentially in manufacturing industries. There are approximately 1.3 million new industrial robots to be installed in factories from 2015 to 2018 (World Robotics, 2015). This arises the question of its effects on workers particularly on employment
The Industrial Revolution started in Great britain because that country had the necessary resources, the agricultural revolution led to more workers, and had a great amount of money to invest.

term we have learned about Industrialization and Nationalism. We have discussed issues like the Industrial Revolution and how it transform economics and societies throughout the world. Also what some of the problems that resulted from the Industrial Revolution and how the Age of Reform attempted to address these problems. The Industrial Revolution transformed economics and societies throughout the world by first the factories changing how things were manufactured. Machines allowed man to produce items
the mistakes of the past and prevent them from happening again. The Industrial Revolution was a horrid period of time for people of the working class. The Industrial Revolution brought pain, suffering, and deaths to huge amounts of people, and yet, the economists off today have not learned the lesson. Sweatshops are the modern day versions of factories during the Industrial Revolution. Sweatshops and factories of the Industrial Revolution share many similarities in both the way they run and the owners
King, 2004). The United States worker puts in more hours at work than anyone else in the world (King, 2013). According to the United Nations International Labor Organization, United States worker works more hours and is more productive, but not necessarily more efficient, than their European counter parts (King, 2013). Industrial Organizational Psychology (I/O psychology) applies the science of psychology to work and the workplace (King, 2013) to enhance worker efficiency and productivity. Researchers
The book The Industrial Revolution in World History by Peter Stearns deals with the unfolding of the Industrial Revolution. Apart from that, it deals with the key topics that promoted it around the world, how it changed the world, and the deterioration of the worker while working there, thus dealing with World History. All of this then focuses on the change from an agrarian society to a industrial based society. The author’s purpose was to give a more detailed analysis of the Industrial Revolution
minds have made many unorthodox suggestions. This is the case with Sidney Mintz’s thesis in Sweetness and Power: The Place of Modern History. Mintz’s suggestions that industrial capitalism originated in the Caribbean sugar plantations may seem to contradict the European version of world history fed to most of the Western world, but is nevertheless supported by substantial evidence. In general, Western education has conditioned students to believe that everything productive originated in Europe
Stephen Gardiner once said, “The Industrial Revolution was another of those extraordinary jumps forward in the story of civilization.” The Industrial Revolution was a time when an abundance of things changed in our world. It was the change of work being done by man and animal into work being done by machine. It was a time when much advancement was made in many different areas. The world would not even be close to what it is now, if it wasn’t for the Industrial Revolution. We wouldn’t nearly have
The aims of this paper are to evaluate the effects the Industrial Revolution had on the wider world. This essay will be assessing the impact of technology and innovation on employment of the era, and how the factory system gave rise to socialism. In addition, it will be evaluating how the Industrial Revolution was the precursor to the phenomenon of consumerism and the resulting globalization. The Industrial Revolution was a period from 1750 to 1850 where agriculture, manufacturing, transportation
In the 1750’s the Industrial Revolution changed the way goods were produced and how people lived their lives. The Industrial Revolution started to bring more jobs for people, but being that it was so new at the end of the 18th century there were no laws or regulations that allowed children to work in dangerous conditions such as coal mines and factories.

continued until 1939 when World War II began and American Men had been drafted into the War allied with Great Britain, Soviet Union, France and the United Kingdom. Industrial Factories all around the United States were in dire need of workers to produce, manufacture and sell what items a factory produced. Women were also in need of money to provide for their Industrial factories were damaged like steel, rubber, and chemical engineering. Most of these jobs were employed by male workers. As the Depression
The industrial revolution was undoubtedly one of the most influential intercontinental waves of change the world has ever experienced. Preceding the industrial revolution was a non technologized planet with little to no industrialization. Manufacturing was done in the home, either by hand or with simple machines. Most families lived on farms or in small rural villages that had little aspect of urban life. How did the world change and urbanize so abruptly? With the use of innovations like the spinning
Great Britain’s Industrial Revolution dramatically revolutionized the means of production and labor. Human workers were replaced by powerful new industrial equipment which could do jobs several workers took to complete. The new machines were more consistent and quicker at producing goods than human workers; this began the rise of factories. British goods became cheaper to produce, sending prices down substantially. Industries throughout the rest of the world and Europe struggled to compete. Increased
The Blessings of the Industrial Revolution The modern world is extremely reliant on technology, whether it has to deal with smart phones, cars, or medicine. Without the Industrial Revolution, the present day would not be the same. The Industrial Revolution was a blessing for the middle class because production, healthcare, and transportation improved. Industrialization improved the lives for all groups of people in Europe because of the advancement of technology. Lifestyles began to improve due in
During the late nineteenth century the compulsion to study and measure human motives and capabilities came about followed with the birth of the concept Industrial organizational psychology (Industrial/Organizational psychology, n.d.). Industrial organizational psychology, eminently referred to as I/O psychology, is the extension of psychology that applies psychological theories and the principles of organizations (Cherry, n.d.). Converging on the increasing workplace productivity and other issues
By observing the recurring trends throughout history, an individual can conclude that the modern world has evolved through a series of revolutionary eras. Revolutions have occurred since the beginning of mankind and continue to progress into the future. Ranging from a sharp change in political organization or structure, to social divisions within society, all the way to forward-thinking innovations, revolutions have impacted the course of history in numerous ways.
