| Summary |
"Industrial Relations is the long-awaited successor to George Bain's classic Industrial Relations in Britain. A group of highly prestigious industrial relations specialists have joined forces to provide a unique combination of analysis and theory with empirical and up-to-date material. Industrial Relations analyses not only the institution of IR but key practices and debates such as: the shift to individualism; the organization of work; IR in small firms; the low-paid and unorganized and the nature of management practice." "The final chapter brings together the text by supplying an overview and assessment." "This important new textbook goes a long way towards bridging the gap between the various disciplines that constitute industrial relations. It represents a vital resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of industrial relations, practitioners of industrial relations taking IPD qualifications, and academics and researchers in the field."--BOOK JACKET |
