New industrial centres are emerging in the so-called BRIC countries
(Brazil, Russia, India, and China), where large numbers of plants
have been constructed in recent years, creating many manufacturing
jobs. But what does industrial work look like in these locations?
Up until now, much of the interest in developing country
industrialization has concentrated on the poor working conditions
that characterize some export-oriented sectors in emerging
economies, most notoriously in the garment industry. In contrast,
the concern of this book is with the modern facilities of
multinational or local manufacturers that reflect aspirations for a
process of industrial upgrading that might foreshadow the future
for these countries. The book provides an analysis of work, its
context, and the situation of employees in plants in the BRICs
focussing on three main questions: What differences and common
features can be ascertained in a comparison both of countries and
firms in terms of workplace HR management and production systems?
What evidence is there for either a 'high road' or 'low road'
developmental path in the BRICs? How are corporate standards
implemented in these local contexts? The book addresses an academic
audience as well as managers and trade unionists. For the former,
it offers a systematic comparison of the four countries and the
companies under study. For the latter, it offers a vivid account of
challenges the companies face in the BRIC countries as well as the
solutions adopted by the companies.
