Here, we have analyzed BPLs Orientation process, which is very significant from a contemporary managerial perspective. Beximco Pharmaceuticals Limited organizes its socialization process in three stages: 1. Pre-arrival stage: This stage explicitly recognizes that each new recruit arrives with a set of organizational values, attitudes, and expectations. A formal Orientation program is held, congregating all new managerial recruits. The new employees are each individually approached, and asked to talk about their expectations about the organizations values. 2. Encounter stage: Here the new employees confront the possible dichotomy between their expectations and reality. The recruits meet everyone from their divisions, and are assigned their specific designations, and with it their roles and responsibilities. Working in these positions, they are able to match their expectations with reality. 3. Metamorphosis stage: Finally, the new member must work out any problems discovered during the encounter stage. S/he learns to mesh in with the organizations culture, and with the help of peers and supervisors, learns to properly execute their required duties.
