, the mobile phone , and the Internet are all instrumental in the continuing development of the Information Age. Previously , in the Industrial Age , raw materials and physical labor were the key ingredients in the creation of wealth. Today, however, wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge. Individuals in the workforce offer their knowledge , not their muscles. Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn. More recently , we are hearing the term information worker (i-worker) to describe those who work with information and technology. Regardless of the terminology, knowledge and information workers engage in mind work. They deal with symbols: words, figures , and data. Some knowledge workers in the US worry over the outsourcing of their jobs to skilled workers in other countries. Outsourcing overseas is a reality. Jobs that can be condensed to a set of rules are likely to go first either to workers abroad or to computers. Although we cannot predict the kinds of future jobs that will be available , they wil1
undoubtedly require brainpower and education. Existing jobs , in both good and bad times, give way to shifts in technology and competition. Recessions are followed by recoveries , and the economy adjusts , as it has always done in the past. In the current climate of outsourcing and changing job requirements , workers need to be flexible , to learn continually, and to have strong basic skills.
As a knowledge and information worker , you can expect to be generating , processing, and exchanging information. Whether you work in m-commerce (mobile technology businesses) , e-commerce (Internet-based businesses) , or bricks-and-mortar commerce, nearly three out of four jobs will involve some form.of mind work. J obs that require thinking, brainpower, and decision making skil1 s are likely to remain plentiful. To be successful in these jobs , you wil1 need to be able to think critically, make decisions, and communicate those decisions.
Management and employees will be working together in such areas as product development , quality control , and customer satisfaction. All workers , from executives to subordinates , need to think creatively and critically. Even in factory production lines, workers are part of the knowledge culture. One of the secrets of a well-known carmaker’ s success in the past , said a chief executive of the Japanese carmaker, "is that the company encourages every worker , no matter how far down the production line , to consider himself or herself a knowledge worker and to think creatively about improving his particular corner of the organization. "

rather than just their muscles , to do their jobs.
5. Knowledge workers are a team of workers formed by people in the management of a
company.
6. Information workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn , and they
engage in mind work , dealing with words , figures and data.
7. Outsourcing of knowledge workers' jobs overseas is not a reality in the US.
8. Knowledge and information workers work at jobs that require thinking , brainpower ,
and decision making skills.
9. To be successful as a knowledge worker , one needs to be able to think critically,
make decisions , and communicate those decisions.
10. All workers , from executives to subordinates , need to think creatively and critically, but those far down the production line should not regard themselves as knowledge workers.

Usually insurance is arranged by the exporter (under CIF terms etc. ) or the importer (under FOB, CFR terms etc.) approaching an insurance company which has a department specializing in cargo insurance. They may start by inquiring and choosing the right coverage and then negotiate insurance premium rates. Sometimes, brokers may be utilized whose assistance can be of enormous benefit as they are highly skilled specialists and can obtain sound and reliable coverage, together with competitive premium rates. In export trade, who will effect insurance depends on the particular trade terms adopted. Under CIF terms, it is the seller who arranges insurance with an insurance company. Under the terms as FOB, CFR, the buyer effects insurance, but he may ask the seller to arrange insurance on behalf of the buyer. An insurance policy is issued when goods are insured, but it is also usual for certificate of insurance to be issued for documentary purposes. An insurance policy is acrually a contract, serving as evidence of the arrangement between the insurer and the person taking out insurance. It forms part of the shipping documents.
In completing the insurance contract-the insurance policy-either party, buyer or seller, will undergo different steps, they are :
1. To apply for marine insurance
In some countries, the first step the insured party should take is to apply for insurance from a certain insurance company. The applicant should fill in the special form-the proposal form, which gives all the details concerning ownership, value, time span insurance will be for, risks and coverages, etc.
2. To determine the insurance value of the goods to be insured
Cenerally speaking, the value to be insured is based on the value of the commercial invoice; the need for maintaining adequate insurance has already been stressed. The recommended minimum amount is the total CIF value plus 10% for other fees and normal margin of profit. Probably the best way of determining needed insurance is to estimate the market value of the goods at the port of destination and to obtain coverage for that amount. Other methods of arriving at a valuation of goods may also be agreed,as determination of the value to be insured varies from country to country.
3. To determine the insurance average and coverage
Determining the right coverage sometimes can be easy, and sometimes difficult. The decision can be made only on the basis of the following factors : the nature of the product; packing considerations such as difference of air and sea transport; shipping route and ports consideration such as any transshipment on the way to the final port, etc. Based on the above factors , the insured may consider the averages and coverages. The average is closely linked with the goods and the goods,in return, are related with the coverage.
4. To determine insurance premium rates
The rates charged by the insurance company depend on many factors. The important determinants include the type of coverage desired, shipping routes, types of conveyances, duration of the voyage , and nature of the goods. Also important is each individual shipper's past loss experiences. Af'ter a period of favorable experience, rates may be lowered. Conversely,a shipper with a bad loss record may find his premiums increased. Generally, the greater the risks that the consignment is exposed to,the higher the premium will be. Premium for sending goods through the Persian Gulf,where the area is at a war, are much higher than sending oil through the Suez Canal. More exactly, the factors determining the insurance premium rates include the carrying vessel, nature of' the packing used, type of merchandise involved, nature of transit and related warehouse accommodation, previous experiences , the extent of cover needed and the volume of cargo involved.
5. To sign an insurance policy
Before filling in and signing an insurance policy, it is important to know what an insurance policy is and the kind of insurance policies. The most common policies being used now in the world today are msurance policy, insurance certificate and open policy , etc.
6. To lodge an insurance claim
Whenever an actual loss occurs ,it is important that the one having an interest in the goods can get fair, efficient, and rapid adjustment of his claims. A basic prerequisite for having a claim recognized by the insurance company is that the one making the claim has an insurable interest in the goods. Susceptibility to financial loss by the claim, if the shipment is lost or damaged,is sufficient to demonstrate an insurable interest. Claims can be made by the shipper,the buyer or even a carrier that has first lien on goods for unpaid freight charges. The one who registers a claim is not so easy. It needs patience, evidence and knowledge.
Most insurance company policies require that immediate notice be given to the nearest branch or agency in the event of damage giving rise to claim under a policy on goods. When notified of damage, the company's agent appoints a suitable surveyor to inspect the goods and to report on the nature and extent of damage. A common practice is for a report or certificate of loss incorporating the surveyor's findings to be issued to the consignees , the latter paying the fee. This certificate of loss is included with the claim papers and, if the loss is recoverable under the insurance cover,the fee is refunded to the claimants.
In some circumstances , the claim pap ers are returned to the place where the insurance was effected and subsequently to the underwriters. However, especially where goods are sold on CIF terms and the policy is assigned to the consignees;arrangements are made for any claims to be paid at destination. In such cases, the consignees approach the agents named in the policy for payment of their claims. Of course, the claims procedure will vary by circumstances but undoubtedly a quicker settlement should be secured in the event of loss or damage.
