Description

Sponsored by the International Industrial Relations Association "This book on the future of industrial relations is highly useful to researchers and practitioners to learn and predict the future of industrial relations in India from the experience of other countries who have undergone a similar phase of industrial development.... The papers in this book analyse almost all the important dimensions of industrial relations and the authors bring forth rich experiences from different countries at various stages of industrial development. The book is strongly recommended for all practitioners, researchers, and teachers in the field of industrial relations." --Vikalpa "The Future of Industrial Relations has many facets, addressed here in detail. Students of comparative industrial relations will welcome the fine job that Niland has done in pulling together papers from the Ninth World Congress. " --James Scoville, Industrial Relations Center, University of Minnesota "The papers in this book analyse almost all the important dimensions of industrial relations and the authors bring forth rich experiences from different countries at various stages of industrial development. The book would be useful to develop a framework to understand power dynamics, role of macro-economic variables, and industrial relation practices inside various firms. The book is strongly recommended for all practitioners, researchers, and teachers in the field of industrial relations." --Sunil Kumar in Vikalpa Based on the 1992 World Congress of the International Industrial Relations Association (IIRA), Niland, Verevis, and Lansbury's collection assembles the works of thirty-one of the world's leading scholars and commentators. This incisive, comprehensive volume addresses global issues and trends in the industrial relations field by examining five key subject areas: the role of the state, trade unionism, human resource management, labor market policies and practices, and the role of industrial relations in political transformation. Apart from a survey overview, the comparison and contrast of so many disparate policies and systems offers a uniquely crystallized vision of this subject in a broad, international scope. In response to tumultuous and constantly evolving social, political, and economic world conditions, this work sustains and updates the discussion of this critical concern. The Future of Industrial Relations is an essential resource for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge and understanding of industrial relations in today's rapidly changing global environment. ^B^
