INTRODUCTION

Carpet Industry is one of the oldest industries in India. Carpet Weaving was brought to India by Mughals. Over the period, various clusters have emerged in the northern part of India. Initially, carpet weaving was done only at few centres. Due to several historical reasons and availability of resources, carpet manufacturing spread across the northern India. During the last few decades, hand-tufted carpets have emerged as one of the major categories.The Indian carpet industry during the post-independence era has witnessed an export-led growth.

    When examining the cross-sectional shape of a fiber may help characterize the fiber of nylon; nevertheless, it’s difficult to determine the manufacturer. (Saferstein, 2015) Once Williams was found to be suspect, it was discovered the yellowish-green nylon fibers from the carpet was manufactured by West Point Pepperell Corporation purchased by Wellman Corporation in Atlanta. (Deadman, 1984) The carpet referred to as “Luxaire,” which was constructed in the same manner as Williams’s carpet with a cross-sectional shape was only manufactured for a five-year period during 1967 through 1975.

    Ikea Children Labour

    • 6483 Words
    • 26 Pages

    In May 1995, Marianne Barner faced a tough decision. After just two years with IKEA, the world’s largest furniture retailer, and less than a year into her job as business area manager for carpets, she was faced with the decision of cutting off one of the company’s major suppliers of Indian rugs. While such a move would disrupt supply and affect sales, she found the reasons to do so quite compelling. A German TV station had just broadcast an investigative report naming the supplier as one that used child labor in the production of rugs made for IKEA. What frustrated Barner was that, like all other IKEA suppliers, this large, well-regarded company had recently signed an addendum to its supply contract explicitly forbidding the use of child labor on pain of termination. Even more difficult than this short-term decision was the long-term action Barner knew IKEA must take on this issue. On one hand, she was being urged to sign up to an industry-wide response to growing concerns about the use of child labor in the Indian carpet industry. A recently formed partnership of manufacturers, importers, retailers, and Indian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) was proposing to issue and monitor the use of “Rugmark,” a label to be put on carpets certifying that they were made without child labor. Simultaneously, Barner had been conversing with people at the Swedish Save the Children organization who were urging IKEA to ensure that its response to the situation was “in the best interest of the child”—whatever that might imply. Finally, there were some who wondered if IKEA should not just leave this hornet’s nest. Indian rugs accounted for a tiny part of IKEA’s turnover, and to these observers, the time, cost, and reputation risk posed by continuing this product line seemed not worth the profit potential.…

    Secondary analysis is a form of research that sociologists also use. It is the use of data that has been gathered by someone else for another research project or purpose. The researcher will look at the information from the previous study but will not be asking the same question. Since the sociologist using the information didn’t collect it, they need to first make themselves familiar with the data. Once they have done this, there are many advantages for them. This form of research is philosophical justified to be used for research because of many reasons. One of these is that someone else has already gathered the information so they don’t need to devote any additional money, energy, time or other…
