The article examines trends in the inflow of foreign investments from countries that are Kazakhstan’s leading partners in this area. Changes in the dynamics of foreign investments incoming flows in terms of their gross and net inflows, the state and changes in their typical and sectoral structure are analyzed. The situation as a whole and in relation to each of six largest investor countries of Kazakhstan is considered. It also examines the inflow of investments from the selected countries into manufacturing industry – a key branch in the context of the modernization of the Kazakhstan economy.


Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) is concerned with system and modeling of that system, where the state of the system is transformed at different discrete points from time to time, and several event occurs from time to time and the changes in state variables will transform then activities/attributes connected to these state variables changes according to the event. It is a robust methodology in the manufacturing industry for strategic, tactical, and operational applications for an organization, and yet organizations ignore to use simulation and do not rely on it. Moreover, companies that are using DES are not using the potential benefits but merely used as a short-hand basis for problems like bottlenecks, optimization, and in later stages of production like PLM, this paper aims to apply and analyze Discrete-Event Simulation through a Manufacturing System. The work describes here is to understand the concept of simulation for a system and to practice Discrete Event methodology

Recent theories of the state (pluralism, statism, Marxism and corporatism) are evaluated in terms of their capacity to explain an historic transformation in industry-state relationships in Australia over the last two decades. The explanatory tasks focus on explaining the shift from high protectionism to free trade for manufacturing industry, coupled with an increase in positive industry assistance measures. The paper argues that a suitably tailored Marxist account avoids most of the limitations of the other theories examined. Yet it is stressed that Marxism's strength lies not in explaining policy details but in providing a broad macro-structural theory of the state in capitalist societies. Marxism's explanatory ‘superstructure’, needs to be filled in at the meso-level by other explanatory elements so that the contours and dynamics of policy making below the macro-structural level can be more fully explained. Concepts such as accumulation strategy, political coalitions and policy networks are suggested for this purpose.

This chapter discusses the two contrasting views of society that have been repeatedly put forward through history. First is the consensus view, whereby it is claimed that society is based on a general consensus of values and that the state is operated in such a way as to protect this. Labelling theorists, such as Howard Becker, raised as a central issue the question ‘Who makes the rules and why?’ This reflected a contrasting, conflict view of society which recognises that society includes groups with competing values and interests. Unlike the consensus view, a conflict approach claims that the state does not uphold the interests of society as a whole, but only those of the groups that are powerful enough to control it. The best-known conflict theorist was Karl Marx, who argued that, in capitalist societies, the state is controlled by those who own the means of production.

Abstraksi Eksploitasi pekerja pada industri manufaktur terbesar di China hingga kini masih terus berlangsung. Berdalih tingginya permintaan pasar membuat pabrik-pabrik menaikkan target produksi barang hingga mengabaikan kepentingan para pekerja. Pada saat yang sama para pekerja mengalami depresi yang berat karena berbagai kebutuhannya tereliminir oleh rakusnya korporasi yang berpedoman pada faham kapitalisme. Relasi yang terbentuk antara pemilik sarana dan alat-alat produksi dengan pemilik tenaga hanya berdasarkan pada faktor determinasi ekonomi. Kelompok dominan akan muncul dan ia cenderung memaksakan aturan, nilai dan norma yang ia percayai kepada kelompok bawah/yang tidak berdaya (subordinate) demi mempertahankan struktur sosial yang mereka anggap menguntungkan kelompoknya.Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui tentang bagaimana praktik eksploitasi pekerja dengan sudut pandang teori Karl Marx. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap praktik yang berlangsung dalam eksploitasi pekerja pada perusahaan Foxconn. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang dibalut dengan paradigma kritis. Dan hingga kini, eksploitasi terhadap pekerjamasih berlangsung. Melalui faham kapitalisme yang dianut, pihak korporasi terus melakukan praktik-praktik eksploitasi, subordinasi hingga alienasi pekerja. Hal lain yang tidak kalah penting, praktik itu melibatkan negara. Key Words: Marxist Approach, eksploitasi pekerja, subordinasi, alienasi   Abstract   Exploitation of workers in the largest manufacturing industry in China is still ongoing. Arguing that high market demand makes factories raise the target of production of goods to ignore the interests of the workers. At the same time workers experience a severe depression because their various needs were eliminated by the greed of corporations that are guided by the ideology of capitalism. The relationship formed between the owner of the means and means of production with the owner of power is only based on economic determinants. The dominant group will emerge and it tends to impose rules, values ??and norms that it believes on the subordinate / powerless (subordinate) group in order to maintain the social structure that they deem beneficial to the group. This study wanted to find out about how the practice of worker exploitation from the standpoint of Karl Marx's theory. This study aims to uncover the practices that take place in the exploitation of workers at Foxconn companies. The approach used in this study is qualitative wrapped with a critical paradigm. And until now, exploitation of workers is still ongoing. Through the ideology of capitalism adopted, the corporation continues to practice exploitation, subordination to alienation of workers. Another thing that is no less important, the practice involves the state.   Key Words: Marxist Approach, worker exploitation, subordination, alienation

The aim of the study is to describe in detail the beginnings of the Hungarian University of Economics, or the Karl Marx University of Economics in Budapest established in 1948 as the first Marxist university in Hungary. The study is based especially on the research in the State Archives of the Hungarian National Archives in Budapest and in the Archives of the Corvinus University of Budapest in the frame of broad research on the beginnings and the development of higher education of economic disciplines in the Central Europe. The study presents the initial period of the first separate economic university in Hungary on the background of the Hungarian Working People’s Party to get the higher education in country under its control. It is also summarized the original organizational structure of the Budapest’s University of Economics and its staff structure controlled by the Hungarian Working People’s Party as a party gradually taking over the country’s political power into its own hands at the turn of 1948 and 1949.

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the readiness of the Swedish manufacturing industry to implement dynamic, data-driven preventive maintenance (PM) by identifying the gap between the state of the art and the state of practice.Design/methodology/approachAn embedded multiple case study was performed in which some of the largest companies in the discrete manufacturing industry, that is, mechanical engineering, were surveyed regarding the design of their PM programmes.FindingsThe studied manufacturing companies make limited use of the existing scientific state of the art when designing their PM programmes. They seem to be aware of the possibilities for improvement, but they also see obstacles to changing their practices according to future requirements.Practical implicationsThe results of this study will benefit both industry professionals and academicians, setting the initial stage for the development of data-driven, diversified and dynamic PM programmes.Originality/ValueFirst and foremost, this study maps the current state and practice in PM planning among some of the larger automotive manufacturing industries in Sweden. This work reveals a gap between the state of the art and the state of practice in the design of PM programmes. Insights regarding this gap show large improvement potentials which may prove important for academics as well as practitioners.
