Department of Industries

Procedure
It is discretionary because despite the
presence of Ministry and prescribed standards
in the provision, nothing is written about step
by step procedure needed to implement the
provision or measures to determine the
pollution.

Degree of Uncertainty
Low: Ministry is very firm regarding
control of pollution and control
measures will surely be
implemented.

Degree of Complexity
High: The company has to follow
stringent procedures to ensure that
the standards are maintained.

Managerial Implication

Lobbying
to
pressurize
government to allocate separate
industrial
zones
for
carpet
manufacturers. This will ease the
waste management process.
Look forward to install air filters in
chimneys.

Institutional Arrangements

Procedure
It is discretionary as the section doesnt
mention the substances to be examined
and who is the concerned authority to
collect the samples .

Medium: As the section states that the
concerned agency will itself collect the sample
to determine the pollution emitted by the
company, if there is any but it doesnt mention
about who the concerned agency is and how it
will determine the entire procedures result.
Degree of Complexity

Low: The concerned authority will themselves

come to collect the samples. The company
just have to facilitate them.

Managerial Implication

The

managers to avoid the negative

results in the first hand should adopt
environment
friendly
production

The managers should inform and
train all employees of the company
beforehand on how to cooperate
with the authorized inspectors.
