First published in 1985, this multi-author volume discusses the
contentious issue of the relationship between shop floor bargaining
and the state. Previous studies of this area tended to focus on
macro-economic concerns and labour legislation, avoiding a more
empirical approach that would draw out specific examples of the
relationship. The seven essays in this text attempt to redress the
balance through rigorous analysis of historically particular
circumstances and events. In doing so, they show that the state is
not always the defender of managerial centralisation and give
examples of government intervention to the benefit of shop floor
autonomy. This highly informative volume draws attention to the
contradictory and ambiguous nature of industrial relations, and
will be of value to anyone with an interest in politics and
economics.
Recent years have seen intense debates among management and academics on the rise of `lean production' and `Japanization'. This book examines in detail the actual practice of transfer and adaptation of productive models into the auto industry. Case studies cover in detail the Japanese transplant experience in North America, and the global experience of hybrid production systems in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
