Description
Run-downs, rationalizations and redundancies have hit British manufacturing hard over recent years. This book looks at a key group responsible for managing these processes - the managers in charge of large manufacturing units. Using a recent survey, the author contributes to the discussion of their role. He also discusses policy implications and provides an overview of current trends in management thinking and practice.
