Question:
After completing his education, Arun joins his father in their family business of manufacturing cookware. As a businessman, his father is rigid in his approach and has fixed ideas about various issues. He tends to maintain a distance from the factory workers. However, Arun is more receptive to the needs of the workers and doesnt seem to believe in any class differences. He believes that the prosperity of their business greatly depends upon the prosperity of their workers and viceversa.
At the same time, he has a good understanding of the business environment. Therefore, he introduced a new range of green pans that provide a healthy cooking surface, as they are manufactured with allceramic or silicon coating and are considered safer than the traditional petroleumbased nonstick surfaces which may contain toxic substances. Although the new cookware range is highlypriced, he expects a ready market for it as both the purchasing power of people and their preference for better quality products has increased over the years.
