Abstract
The emerging business scenario is
largely driven by market forces.
The businesses, due to market compulsions,
have resorted to very
painful and difficult options like
relocation and or closure of plants.
The employees have to undergo a
number of hardships as a result of
closure and or relocation of plants.
Can one maintain a balance between
business compulsions and
employees’ interests? The case
study of Pepsico’s Naroda plant is
one example where a balance has
been maintained between the two
extremes. A number of meaningful
initiatives have been taken by management
to minimize the hardships
of workers given VRS at this plant.
The case discusses the process and
dynamics of closure of the plant
through VRS in about three weeks
time.
