Soviet Management and Labor Relations (1988) examines the official
model of Soviet labor relations and the operational reality. It
outlines the main characteristics of labor relations during
Russia’s three major historical industrialisation drives, and the
attitude toward work, entrepreneurs and the state bureaucracy
displayed by workers with peasant origins and culture. It then
deals with the main aspects of the official model of labor
relations and legislation; Soviet management practices and labor
relations, industrial relations, strategic behaviour and collective
actions.
This case study sketches the trans-professional and transnational
careers of two upwardly mobile and cosmopolitan actors in the
incoming "Century of the Genoese." These examples of biography in
history are analytically framed within the stream of research on
social mobility in medieval and early modern Italy, and then
compared with the organizational and institutional behavior of some
Atlantic entrepreneurs of the sixteenth century. This framework
also takes into account the dualism and transactional focus of the
Genoese polity with the aim of reassessing the historical reasoning
on entrepreneurship proposed by business historians who responded
to the "Schumpeter's plea" in this regard.
This book is a methodologically self-conscious and intellectually
ambitious effort to advance the social science debate on
postcommunist transformation beyond the limitations of its first
decade. Offering theoretically innovative and empirically current
analyses of fundamental economic, cultural, and political problems
of systemic change and reform in central and Eastern Europe, the
authors broaden and deepen the research agenda by developing a set
of interrelated approaches that are cross-disciplinary,
sociologically informed, historically comparative, and global. The
bookOs major substantive themes revolve around problems of
postcommunist socioeconomic transformations. Specifically, the book
explores postcommunist systemic change, the role of religion and
collective identity, the significance of trust and economic
culture, patterns of state-economy interactions in enterprise
restructuring, the context of EU expansion, the strengths and
weaknesses of economic theory and neoliberal doctrine, and the
history of ideas in the postcommunist transformation debate.
Bringing together leading experts in the field to illustrate the
fruitfulness of multidisciplinary analysis in understanding
socioeconomic transitions, this work will be valuable for
economists, sociologists, and political scientists alike.
