The diffusion of work processes across countries through foreign
direct investment and technological collaborations is an
increasingly important practice in today's global economy. Ayse
Saka explores this process both by focusing on the role of actors
in appropriating different ways of operating and by examining the
effects of the institutional environment in the host country. The
author uses the example of Japanese firms operating in the UK to
explore how the diffusion of work systems occurs in practice. She
finds that institutional, organisational and group characteristics,
have great influence on the degree to which Japanese work systems
are put to practice and accepted by UK adopter companies. The
degree to which alternative work systems are accepted depends in
part on the flexibility of the institutional setting and on social
patterns of interaction in organisations. This unique and original
book will appeal to a wide-ranging audience, including researchers,
lecturers and scholars specialising in management studies in human
resource management, industrial relations, organisational behaviour
and international operations management. Cross-National
Appropriation of Work Systems will also be invaluable to management
practitioners and policymakers.
