Download or read book Industrial Relations in the Future written by Michael Poole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1984, Industrial Relations in the Future highlights probable developments in Britain’s system of industrial relations into the 1990s. It also provides a basis for further and detailed analysis and debate of issues central to the nation’s future. Written by distinguished scholars in their respective fields, the three main sections give reviews from three contrasting traditions- mainstream industrial relations, industrial sociology and management, and labour economics. These accounts are highly complementary in the ways in which, in each and every case, issues of collective bargaining, managerial strategy and union response, and the behaviour of governments are all set against a broad backcloth of economic, political, and social changes. The authors see the ultimate outcome as depending greatly on the policies and types of action of organised labour, managements and governments, and possibly of wider social movements as well. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of labour economics, industrial sociology, economics, and public policy.
Download or read book Change in Industrial Relations written by P.B. Beaumont and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change in Industrial Relations (1990) examines the industrial relations system in the UK at the end of the 1980s, after a decade of changes such as the growth of non-union firms, trade union decline, the emergence of human resource management practices, and increase in labour–management co-operation. The author describes the major features of the system and discusses the recent changes, drawing on insights from economics, organizational behaviour, and urban and regional research, as well as from the traditional literature of industrial relations. Focusing on collective bargaining, he examines the practices of the British system of industrial relations in recent years, and places the UK in a wider context by providing facts and figures for other national systems, in particular making extensive reference to developments and research in the USA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition of Industrial Relations: Theory and Practice follows the approach established successfully in preceding volumes edited by Paul Edwards. The focus is on Britain after a decade of public policy which has once again altered the terrain on which employment relations develop. Government has attempted to balance flexibility with fairness, preserving light-touch regulation whilst introducing rights to minimum wages and to employee representation in the workplace. Yet this is an open economy, conditioned significantly by developing patterns of international trade and by European Union policy initiatives. This interaction of domestic and cross-national influences in analysis of changes in employment relations runs throughout the volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last fifteen years, the deregulation of Britain's labour market has led to economic growth, employment opportunities, and a more diverse workforce: the 'fat years'. However, now as Britain faces its lean years with job cuts, rising unemployment, income insecurity, and related social strains, how can and should the government and key labour market policy makers ensure the labour market provides job opportunities and reasonable levels of social justice? The fundamental changes that have occurred in labour market institutions mean that 'solutions' of previous decades no longer work. This volume sets out to address the major challenges faced: - Unemployment, immigration, housing and job subsidies - Key institutional changes, such as the decline of collective regulation and the rise of occupational licensing - Pay inequality and minimum wages - Pay and subsidies in the private and public sector Contributions from leading experts in the field employ the latest theory and empirical research to examine a different set of problems and the policies that could help to resolve them.

Download or read book Interrogating the New Economy written by Norene Pupo and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interrogating the New Economy is a collection of original essays investigating the New Economy and how changes ascribed to it have impacted labour relations, access to work, and, more generally, the social and cultural experiences of work in Canada. Based on years of participatory research, sector-specific studies, and quantitative and qualitative data collection, the work accounts for the ways in which the contemporary workplace has changed but also the extent to which older forms of work organization still remain. The collection begins with an overview of the key social and economic transformations that define the New Economy. It then illustrates these transformations through examples, including essays on wine tourism, the regeneration of mining communities, the place of student workers, and changes in the public service workplace. It also addresses unions and their responses to the restructuring of work, as well as other forms of resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thisbook is the fruit of a number of years of assimilating another culture and learning about the evolution of its institutions, altogether an incr- iblyrich andrewarding experience. Ihopetopassonto the reader some of that richness in the belief that, even in a “globalizing” context, learning about other nations and cultures is more and more necessary. The reasons andvalues behind this belief are perhaps evident,but I amconvincedthat they bear repeating here. To begin with, the hasty generalizations that often liebehind the cynicism—and ultimately the violence—of ethnocentrism and xe- phobia are still being aired today and still need to be fought, even in “unified and advanced” regions of the world like Europe and the United States. The historical and social sciences disciplines need to be solicited constantly in this combat, even though they themselves are terrains of controversy and contestation. I personally have not lost faith in their “progressive” potential and character. Second, my belief is that only through this process of appeal to these disciplines and their findings can we resist a dangerous contemporary slide into simplisticand sensation- ist pictures of the world—viewpoints often associated with an implicit assumption that social and economic change are linear processes, so- how unfolding according to the same neat “logic” wherever they are at work.
Download or read book Liberalisation Industry in India China written by Burra Srinivas and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All developing countries look alike in many respects. However, some of these countries are so closely alike that they conjure up in the mind the image of Siamese twins. There are many similarities between India and China such as the existence of surplus labour and interventionist government that deserve a comparative analysis. In this study, Dr. Srinivas has analysed the development of these two countries with reference to their growth performance, general development and economic transformation as the backdrop for understanding their comparative achievements in the realms of industrial growth and productivity, and liberalisation and industrial relations. The author has taken care to study the political economy of liberalisation for these booming economies, pointing out that liberalisation has created many negative impacts on labour and labour-capital relations. It has created new areas of contradictions and conflicts and has exacerbated the problems of proletarianisation and casualisation of labour. This book is relevant for both India and China in the present phase of their industrialisation. It is a welcome addition to the literature on the subject and should remain immensely helpful for students of comparative economic development and political economy, economic planners and those who determine public policy. Dr. Burra Srinivas is working as Research Associate with the Centre for Organization Development (COD), a premiere research, training and consultancy organization. He is specialising in the areas of corporate governance, leadership, communication, and human resource management. He has multi-disciplinary skills with political economy perspective. This apart, he is also working on the management of natural resources and its impact on rural/tribal area development. His name is published in Marquis Who's Who in the World, 1999 and 2000, USA. The University of Hyderabad awarded him doctorate in the year 2000 for his thesis in Public Policy. Earlier, he has completed his Master's degree from Mahatma Gandhi University, M.Phil from University of Hyderabad and also LL.B from Osmania University. He has a book and more than 20 publications in Indian and Foreign journals. Prior to joining COD, he was working as an ICSSR Doctoral Fellow at the Centre for Economic & Social Studies (CESS), Hyderabad.
