This book is about the relationship between corporate governance
regimes and labour management. It examines how finance and
governance influence employment relationships, work organization,
and industrial relations by means of a comparative analysis of
Anglo-American, European, and Japanese economies. The starting
point is the distinction widely found in the corporate governance,
business systems, and political economy literature between
countries dominated by 'shareholder value' conceptions of corporate
governance and those characterized by 'stakeholder' regimes. By
drawing on a wide range of countries, the book is able to
demonstrate the complexities of corporate governance arrangements
and to present a more precise and nuanced exploration of the
linkages between governance and labour management. Each
country-based chapter provides an analysis of the evolution and key
characteristics of corporate governance and then links this to
labour management institutions and practices. The chapters cover
the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, France,
Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain, with each written by a
leading academic expert in the field. By providing a historical
review of the evolution of national systems, the contributors
provide judicious evaluations of the current state and future
direction of national governance and labour relations systems.
Overall, the book goes beyond the 'complementarities' between
governance and labour management systems identified in recent
literature, and attempts to identify causal relationships between
the two. It shows how labour management institutions and practices
may influence finance and corporate governance systems, as well as
vice versa. The contributions to this book illuminate current
debates about the determinants of corporate governance, the
convergence of national 'varieties of capitalism', and the impact
of corporate governance on managerial behaviour. The book
highlights the complexities of corporate governance systems and
refines the distinction between market/outsider and
relational/insider systems.
