Solution Model

Our solution model shows how problem of using many papers can be solved by changing of education system and teaching methods of School of Management. This action required consent and compromise of the Dean and all the staffs including lecturers, administration staff and also students of the school.

First of all, the direct link to changing of education system and teaching methods will also change the requirement of lecturers to students from passing up the assignments and project in the form of papers to uploading them via internet. Students will follow the requirements and upload the assignments and project via internet. E-learning also occurs through this process. There is no cost of printing and photocopy and also carrying costs of papers storage associated with e-learning. Hence, the overall usage of papers by students is reduced.

The second path of the process map shows that changed education system and teaching methods also include implementation of paperless technology such as Electronic Data System (EDI) in the School of Management. Paper is not used in any transactions between students and administration of School of Management. Therefore, papers usage is minimized.

The last path indicates that awareness of importance of paperless system is created among the students through the changing of education system and teaching methods. Students will be more sensitive and concern about sustainable environment. Hence, students will reuse the half used papers and later recycle them along with used papers. Usage of papers by students is reduced to the minimum.

In conclusion, these three paths shown in the process map are the proposed steps to be practiced by School of Management in order to solve the problem of usage of many papers by the students.
