Industrial Relations: Industrial Revolutions

Editat de Mike Terry, Trevor Colling
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2010

Notăm cu interes o realitate adesea ignorată în studiile de management: ideea că piața muncii se poate autoregla eficient prin 'atingeri ușoare' ale reglementării este, în contextul actual, o iluzie riscantă. În volumul Industrial Relations, coordonat de Mike Terry și Trevor Colling, demonstrăm că echilibrul dintre flexibilitate și echitate nu este un rezultat natural, ci unul construit într-un teren minat de presiunile globalizării și ale politicilor transnaționale. Subliniem faptul că acest text nu se limitează la o descriere a sistemului britanic, ci plasează experiența națională într-un context comparativ riguros, esențial pentru înțelegerea modului în care standardele de muncă sunt acum impuse de stat acolo unde, istoric, dominau negocierile colective. Putem afirma că structura volumului este una pragmatică, orientată spre rezultate: de la analiza actorilor și a contextelor, până la examinarea proceselor juridice și a impactului sectorului privat. Dacă Contemporary Industrial Relations de Ian Beardwell v-a oferit cadrul teoretic al schimbărilor din ultimele decenii, această carte oferă instrumentele practice și analizele empirice necesare pentru a naviga un model de ocupare a forței de muncă fragil și în continuă schimbare. Notăm contribuția interdisciplinară a autorilor, care îmbină sociologia industrială cu economia muncii pentru a explica de ce vechile mecanisme de guvernare nu mai răspund agendelor interne. Este o resursă autoritară care disecă instituțiile juridice emergente și oferă o perspectivă critică asupra modului în care diversitatea demografică și restructurarea organizațională redefinesc natura muncii în secolul XXI.

Public țintă

Undergraduate courses on business and management usually include modules on employment relations. This text would certainly be appropriate for final year undergraduates. Principally it is aimed at postgraduate students of business and management and of human resource management and employment relations specifically.  Warwick, LSE, and Manchester all run MA/MSc programmes with domestic and international focuses. Several universities run similar courses, often accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. The principal market therefore is Britain, but we would expect the text and specific chapters to be used on course in Europe, the USA and Australia.

De ce să citești această carte

Această lucrare este esențială pentru studenții la masterat și profesioniștii din resurse umane care doresc să înțeleagă complexitatea relațiilor industriale moderne. Veți câștiga o perspectivă clară asupra modului în care legislația și contextul global influențează direct negocierea colectivă și drepturile angajaților. Este un ghid critic pentru cei care trebuie să gestioneze tranziția de la modelele de muncă tradiționale la cele contemporane, marcate de reglementări statale stricte.

Descriere

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. The structure has been amended slightly. Britain is placed straight away in comparative perspective before attention focuses explicitly on employment relations actors, contexts, processes, and outcomes. Each of the chapters is written by authorities in the field and provides up to date analysis and commentary. A spine of chapters from the preceding volume have been revised and extensively updated and new chapters have been added to refine coverage of issues such as the private sector and developing legal institutions. Overall, a picture emerges of an economy that is in incremental and contested transition. The imperatives of 'globalization' now infuse governance mechanisms that were once responsive principally to domestic agenda and employment standards are set now by the state that once were established through collective bargaining. It is this fragile and emerging model that will be tested significantly through sustained political and economic change. "Completely revised, the latest edition of Industrial Relations provides an invaluable guide to the actors, contexts, processes and significant outcomes within British employment relations. Based on a thorough review of the latest research, it is essential reading for students, academics and those professionally involved in employment relations and human resource management." —Edmund Heery, Cardiff Business School "This is a terrific collection of insightful analyses of British workplace relations in a global context provided by leading scholars. The chapters creatively utilize a multidisciplinary and critical approach that reveals the continuing and unique value of an industrial relations perspective. The volume cleverly assesses how factors including increased demographic diversity, organizational restructuring, globalization, and the reduced coverage of collective bargaining are affecting the nature and evolution of work and workplace relations. It is a must read. —Harry C. Katz, Cornell University, New York "This volume definitely constitutes the most comprehensive and best collection of empirical as well as analytical essays on industrial relations in Great Britain. This substantially revised, enlarged and updated version of its well known predecessors puts the specific national experience in comparative context and international perspective. A truly interdisciplinary volume by leading authorities, this has to be highly recommended for domestic as well as foreign scholars, practitioners and policy makers." —Bernt Keller, University of Konstanz, Germany "With working people facing the worst crisis in generations, this book is a much needed reminder of the crucial importance of employment relations research in Britain. The 3rd edition of Industrial Relations, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of the IRRU at Warwick University, provides a completely updated, cutting-edge analysis by leading scholars on work and employment developments in contemporary Britain. It delivers a most informative view of modern employment, its problems and possibilities. A must for students and practitioners in employment relations, human resource management and industrial sociology." —Professor Carola Frege, London School of Economics and Editor of BJIR
