Economic liberalization and globalization have put pressures on Indian industry,

particularly on the service sector, to offer quality products and services at low costs

and with high speed. Organizations have to compete with unequal partners from

abroad. It is well recognized that developing countries like India are already behind

other countries technologically, in many areas, although some of them particularly

India, boast of huge scientific and technical man power. In addition to this, if an entre-

preneur or industrialist has to spend a lot of his time, money and energy in dealing

with unpredictable services and in negotiating with the local bureaucracy, it can have

a significant dampening effect on business.

46. No other developing country except India claims that they have highly trained

technical man power.

47. Foreign companies are more equipped than domestic companies to provide qual-

ity service in good time.

48. Official formalities are less cumbersome in almost all the countries except India.

49. Indian service industry was more comfortable before economic liberalization.

50. India at present is to some extent on par with developed countries in terms of

technological development.

Directions (126 - 132): Read the following passage carefully and answer the ques-tions given below it. Certain words/ phrases are given in bold to help you to locatethem while answering some of the questions.

Aviation is an essential link for travel, trade and connectivity. While full serv-ice carriers attract passengers with the overall quality of their services, low cost air-lines compete on cost. They offer bare-bone services, fly more sectors a day and oper-ate from smaller secondary airports that have lower charges. These may be very farfrom the city centres costing passengers more time and money to get into town. Someservices like London's Luton are aimed at eliminating the problems of connectingflights. They tend to avoid head on competition with each other and prey on full serv-ices. airlines. Staff are usually less well paid, more intensively used and in shortersupply as compared to full service airlines. There are numerous exceptions though inother countries. Easy jet operates from major airports and Jet Blue offers live pro-grammes for free. In India 70% of the operating costs of low cost airlines are the sameas that of full service carriers, leaving just 30% to juggle with to gain an overall advan-tage over full service carriers. Many of these costs like fuel are above global levels.Exorbitant State and Central government taxes and duties are the main culprits.
