Industrial Sociology and Economic Crisis - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

"Industrial Sociology and Economic Crisis" examines the different aspects of "crisis" in work, industry and society in modern Britain, and shows how perspectives formulated within industrial sociology can help us to understand developments in British society in the 1980s and beyond. The authors explore a number of questions about modern British industrial society, particularly relating to the last decade, such as, "Is the economy in crisis?", "Does class matter any more?", "What are trade unions for?", "What do managers do?", "Is there a crisis in authority relations in industry?", and, "Has Thatcherism cured Britain's strike problem?". The book uses the insights available from both recent and more classical debates within industrial sociology. It also operates an extended historical approach while focusing on a wide range of up-to-date empirical material.
