1.When one thinks of huge firms, one thinks of employment security, brand luxury, and so on...

and when
one thinks of customers, one thinks of trust, quality, company promises, and so on. Take, for example,
Google, Facebook, Wal-Mart, and, shortly, Amazon... these companies have worked hard to earn their
brand names, and we can see how they handled their staff and customers. The majority of their attention
was paid to consumer and employee happiness. They have long-term objectives and a strategy for
achieving them in light of shifting market conditions. Initially, many organizations may have encountered
numerous obstacles; nevertheless, in order to address these concerns, they have created a set of rules for
employees and consumers in order to promote the company's and management's growth. Employee
satisfaction has been a priority for these businesses. Treating your staff as if they were internal customers
is a good way to go about it. One of the most crucial aspects is that they began utilizing cutting-edge
technologies and executing growth-oriented strategies. In different parts of the world, all corporations
treat their employees the same way. They may vary depending on the region, but for the most part, they
treat all employees equally. They do have a set of policies that apply to all employees in the organization,
regardless of where they work in the world. In terms of perks, Assume that different companies offer
different benefits. Let's talk about Google for a moment.

 They provide Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 The organic food is chef-prepared
 Free health and dental,
 Free haircuts,
 Free dry cleaning
 Subsidized massages
 Gyms and swimming pools.
 Hybrid car subsidies
 Nap pods Video games, football, ping pong (recreation)
 On-site physicians
 Death Benefits
 Transportation
These are some of the perks that well-known businesses offer. Transportation, recreation, nap pods, gym,
food, and other perks are among the most significant. As we can see, we need to commute to work every
day; but, instead of driving ourselves, we can take advantage of company transportation. We can employ
recreation, the gym for stress relief, and so forth. So here are my thoughts and insights from working in
large corporations, as well as the benefits to customers.

2. 2. There are Seven Covey’s habits namely

 Habit One: Be Proactive

 Habit Two: Begin with the End in Mind
 Habit Three: Put First Things First.
 Habit Four: Think Win-Win.
 Habit Five: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood.
  Habit Six: Synergize.
 Habit Seven: Sharpen the Saw.

But we focus on the first three covey’s habit.

Habit One: Be Proactive

Proactive people are those people who implement or focus on those things that they can control
and influence rather than reactive individuals whose response is determined by the stimulus and
accept the thing as they are and not doing anything on them.
Proactive people want and take a responsibility. And focus their energy on the productive actions
that add values.

How does this habit relate to effective project management?

The project manager is the person how does contract and negotiation, control the schedule, cost,
and other resources
A software project manager is a person who undertakes the responsibility of executing the
software project. Software project manager is thoroughly aware of all the phases of SDLC that
the software would go through. So, the software manager and his co-staff should be proactive so
they can take a responsibility rather blame on one another. Proactive staff answer the following
question. “What could go wrong if this happens?”, “How might we succeed despite this
setback?”, “Is this really what the customer/client wants?”.
o proactive project manager exhibits this habit through four competencies:
1. The Project Manager as Decision Maker.
2. The Project Manager as Marketeer. 
3. The Project Manager as Problem Solver.
4. The Project Manager as Team Builder

Habit Two: Begin with the End in Mind

 In simple world it means visionary. The project manager should first create all
thing in his head before start doing any physical activity. Project managers will
recognize this habit as the combination of the first two phases of the life cycle of a
project, Concept and Development. From a project management perspective, this
habit answers the question, “What are the things this project should accomplish?” and
it emphasized on management-by-objective. But without first defining what the final
product characteristics should be, it is almost impossible for the part to be designed.
And project manager should start with the end in the mind.
Habit Three: Put First Things First.
In short in mean breaking down the sequence of actions and tasks and prioritized the tasks.
Prioritizing tasks is an important aspect of effective project management. As the project
 progresses, a detailed understanding of the relative importance of the tasks will provide
invaluable support as project decisions and tradeoffs are assessed. This will also assist the
project manager in identifying and correcting problems as early as possible.  it is more
closely related to the traceability matrix that relates tasks to critical success factors and
important client quality measures.

Very limited lunch breaks were taken seriously. If you didn’t make it on time, you
were publicly shamed by the company. Any sign of less than 100% dedication to the
job was punished by moving the employee to another division of the company.
“One of the most incredible instances of this involves an employee posting to
Facebook he was leaving the company, and other workers who “liked” the status
found themselves reassigned to one of these “punishment” jobs. Reportedly, this
affects both junior employees and senior staff. “

How Foxconn Treating Workers

hour shift, but actually it becomes 10 hours. In such a way that the workers arrive in the
company one hour early and leave the company one hour late. The Employee also works on their
off-days and if anyone refuses to work on Sunday, he/she receives threats of various kinds. 

‘Low Salary Compels Workers to Accept Overtime Work’

6. IT OUTSOURCING

IT outsourcing is the process of contracting out information technology tasks such as software
development, infrastructure solutions, and software support to third parties.

The following are two articles that were found on the internet.

First Article:
daxx.com/blog/development-trends/what-is-outsourcing-benefits-of-outsourcing: this article
describes overall concepts on what is it outsourcing, why organizations outsource, the importance of
outsourcing.
 Second Article:
uptech.team/blog/what-is-it-outsourcing: this article describes IT Outsourcing Guide: Definition,
Types and Models, And Reasons to Outsource

A. Various types of goods and services being outsourced

Technological services and business processing are the two types of goods and services being outsourced.
The technological services include the information technology ideas and ecommerce technologies The
business processing includes human resource outsourcing, customer services, financing, accounting etc.

The Most Commonly IT Outsourcing Services includes

 Web development
 Hosting
 Software and application development
 Website/application maintenance or management
 Technical support
 Database development and management
 Telecommunications
 Infrastructure
B. Based on the above articles the organizations are planning to
outsource mainly for the following reasons.
 You Are a Domain Expert with Idea
 If you're an industry expert with the idea that solves a real problem, IT
outsourcing is your choice. In this case, your main goal is to enter the
market and test the solution fast. An outsourced team will help you validate
the idea, build an MVP to check the hypothesis, and implement changes in
your product according to market needs. It saves you money, time and lets
you reach the goal.
 You Have an Early-Stage Startup
 It's a common case that young startups spend money faster than they get a
solid team and a ready-to-market product. The Failory found that financial
problems are the 3rd reason why startup fails. So, it makes more sense to
reduce costs by hiring an outsourced team of professionals while your
business lives on investor's money. You may employ a full-cycle product
development studio covering all the blind spots and bringing your product
to life.
  You Need a Technical Support
 Even if you already have a ready solution, but it demands some technical
improvements – frameworks for backend components, new language,
integrations with enterprise software, UX&UI design – it makes more sense
to find an experienced partner. There are many functions that IT outsourcing
can cover, and again it saves you the time you'd otherwise spend on looking
for qualified staff
 To Reduce Cost
 More often than not, outsourcing means saving money. This is often due to
lower labor costs, cheaper infrastructure, or an advantageous tax system in
the outsourcing location.
 To Access Skills That Are Unavailable Locally
 Resources that are scarce at home can sometimes be found in abundance
elsewhere, meaning you can easily reach them through outsourcing.
 To Better Use Internal Resources
 By delegating some of your business processes to a third party, you’ll give
your in-house employees the opportunity to focus on more meaningful
tasks.
 To Accelerate Business Processes
 When you stop wasting time on mundane, time-consuming processes, you’ll
be able to move forward with your core offering a lot faster.
C. Yes, The companies have been benefited from outsourcing in our articles. It is how
because by outsourcing, the companies can spend more time on the important activities and
accomplish the tasks which are important on time. IT outsourcing benefits are substantial,
here’s the list of some:
 Save costs;
 Access to professionals from all corners of the world;
 Focus on big picture; speed up hiring process;
 Add flexibility; Increase efficiency;
 Reduced Expenses; Access to Global Talent Pool
 Significant Time Savings; Ability to Upscale Fast
 Uninterrupted workflow
