Global Japanization?: The Transnational Transformation of the Labour Process (Critical Perspectives on Work and Organization) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Global Japanization? brings together a collection of articles exploring the impact of Japanese manufacturing investment and the adoption of Japanese working practices on a cross-national basis.
Key issues are explored through a range of national and sectoral studies of work reorganization and work experience within Japanese companies and their competitors. Original case studies are employed to support a wide-ranging critique of the established view of the 'Japanese model' of work organization. Alternative models, as in the Swedish and Italian cases, are discussed in depth.
Drawing on international research, this volume sheds new light on an important and often controversial debate centring on Japanese working practices. It will be of great interest to students and researchers in the sociology of work, organizational sociology and international business.
