This study examines the corporate social responsibility (CSR) dynamics in the rapidly growing paper industry in Odisha. The paper argues that the industry is sustainable from social responsibility as well as natural resources and economic perspectives. The study examined the practice of CSR of Odisha's paper industry with emphasis on their CSR initiatives, endeavours and expenditures. Some industries were randomly selected; using their annual report of the results it is revealed that most of the industries’ CSR is based on financial/economic, social. So the government should develop a legal framework for CSR in Odisha to ensure that the paper industries will stop their lip service to CSR and that an organisation gives back to the communities where they are operating. The paper concludes with a discussion of this industry as a case study of ‘positive deviance’ and with lessons for contemporary innovation system theory and for development policy and practice.

Successful organisations respond intelligently to factors which precipitate change. Economic climates, political trends, changes in consumer demands, management policy or structure, employment levels and financial resources-all these elements are constantly at play to ensure that organisations clinging on to static structures will ultimately lose out. But change is a dynamic process and it has paramount importance to understand the tricks to manage it positively. The onslaught of globalisation has made it necessary for, the private or public organisation to change according to the rapid transformation on international economics. Successful adaptation to change is as crucial within an organisation as it is in the natural world. Change within the organisation/company can be influenced by external factors (which can be controlled to a lesser extent by managers such as: changes in technology, increasing complexity of life that generates complex communication systems and social changes). Internal factors through which changes act within the organisation are actually represented by processes of making decisions, communication, interpersonal relations, leadership, management style, etc. In this study, we examine how the effects of change on organisational performance depend on change in human resource management (HRM).

Good communication is essential to any group or organisational effectiveness. Many of the problems that occur in an organisation are either the direct result of people failing to communicate or due to the processes that lead to confusion and can cause coordination problem. The communication in most of the organisations is not straight forward. This may be due to different barriers of communication, poor interpersonal relation, or complexity in organisational structure. Thus, the communication turns out to be ineffective. Considering the fact that organisations are becoming competitive and keeping in mind the problems arising out of poor communication in organisation, an empirical study was undertaken to understand the effectiveness of communication at Max Hyper market India Pvt. Ltd. Communication practised at Max Hyper Market Pvt. Ltd. is free flowing as there is daily briefing practised here. The study proposed a communication effectiveness model which proposes important tenets of successful communication. Communication will be accurate and free flowing when it takes into consideration the control of systems, structure, and people. The employees’ roles and responsibilities have to be understood and there should be clear communication present in the organisation.
良好的沟通对任何团体或组织的有效性都是必不可少的。组织中发生的许多问题要么是人们沟通失败的直接结果,要么是由于导致混乱并可能导致协调问题的流程造成的。大多数组织的沟通不是直截了当的。这可能是由于不同的沟通障碍,人际关系差,或复杂的组织结构。因此,沟通是无效的。考虑到组织正变得越来越有竞争力,并牢记组织中沟通不畅所产生的问题,我们进行了一项实证研究,以了解Max Hyper market India Pvt. Ltd的沟通有效性。在Max Hyper Market私人有限公司进行的交流是自由的,因为这里每天都有简报。该研究提出了一个沟通有效性模型,提出了成功沟通的重要原则。当考虑到对系统、结构和人员的控制时,沟通将是准确和自由流动的。员工的角色和责任必须被理解,在组织中应该有明确的沟通。
