							A brief introduction
to Foxconn




      Foxconn ,founded in 1974, is a enterprise of high technology. Foxconn,
 the world's largest professional manufacturer in electronics industry, has
 developed rapidly since it set up his factories in Shenzhen in 1988,with
 more than 600,000 employees and the world's top IT client group. In 2009,
 it ranked the 109th among the world's top 500 enterprises in the Fortune
 Magazine . However, from January 23, 2010 to November 5, 2010, 14
 workers of Foxconn jumped off building, which made Foxconn getting much
 more attention from the pubic.
 The reason for a series of suicide
        events in Foxconn
(1)Workers don’t
  know each other,
  even in the same
  dormitory, so they
  have difficulties in
  communicating
  with each other.
(2)The company only cares for
  their production output and how
  much profit they can make from
  each deal, with less time paying
  attention to their workers’ living
  condition physically and mentally.
(3)The enterprise is ignorant of
  workers’ interest. The workers
  has a little basic pay, so they
  have to sign an agreement with
  the enterprise to work overtime
  so as to get much more pay.
(4)The workers has less opportunities
  to promote no matter how hard they
  are.
(5)The media should take a
  certain responsibility for this
  event. The more attention the
  media pay to this kind of thing,
  the larger number of people who
  commit suicide will be, which is
  called “Werther effect”.(维特效应）
   Some feasible suggestions
(1)The enterprise would better organize
  some actives for workers to get together,
  giving them more time to communicate
  with each other.
(2)The enterprise is supposed to improve
  their management and involves their
  workers in their management.
(3)Some fringe benefit measures should be
  taken to motivate their workers.
(4)The enterprise should provide more
  chances for front-line workers to promote if
  they do a good job.
(5)The labor union is supposed to care more
  about workers and help them protect their
  legitimate rights and interests.
