Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this collection of original studies, experts from nine key industrialized economies examine the gamut of factors which have shaped industrial relations in their countries. They discuss the roles of the major players and the main processes of industrial relations: collective bargaining; arbitration; consultation; and employee participation. The varying issues of novel forms of HRM, technological change, equity issues, and labour law reform are seen as valuable lessons to be learned - and anticipated - from the experience of others. Market economies in general are dealt with in a comparative manner. An appendix provides comparative economic and labour market data. "Industrial and Comparative Industrial Relations" aims to serve as a standard text for an international readership. This up-dated and revised volume is intended for students and specialists in the field.
