This book focuses not only on economic and political transformation
since the demise of communism in Eastern and Central Europe, but
also on the relationships between economic organization, social
patterns and institutional change. The changes in political
structure and policies of economic reform have in turn resulted in
changes in social institutions and patterns of social relations.
The authors look at social relations under the old regimes to
understand the current social transformation. They consider
economic restructuring both in the context of social change and in
terms of its consequences for society, using case studies from the
Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. The impact of economic changes
on new forms of institutional arrangements, social patterns and
organization are also discussed taking into account privatization,
employment, social welfare, property and industrial relations. This
new book will be welcomed by economists, political scientists and
sociologists working in the area of transition.
As issues of employee involvement and participation once more evoke
considerable controversy, this textbook provides an accessible
overview of the main strands, perspectives and debates in current
thinking and practice. It adopts a comparative international
approach, addressing developments in the United Kingdom and
mainland Europe, the United States and elsewhere. The authors
identify two main strands of evolution: one driven by managerial
interests in enhancing and controlling employee commitment and
performance; the other deriving from employees' attempts to
influence high-level organizational decision-making. In particular,
they examine and analyze: the background of key concepts, issues
and philosophies underpinning these different strands; the range of
current employee involvement methods, from the individualistic and
management-led to more regulated collective approaches; and the
rationales and responses of employees, unions and employers to the
various initiatives. Throughout the book the authors evaluate the
contrasting philosophies and practices in the context of the
rapidly evolving organizational and economic landscapes of advanced
industrialized countries. Relevant factors include declines in
manufacturing industries, deregulation of labour markets,
intensifying international competition and the ever-increasing
globalization of enterprise.
