New Impacts on Industrial Relations: Internationalization and Changing Production Strategies

New Impacts on Industrial Relations: Internationalization and Changing Production Strategies

New production concepts such as lean production, as well as the internationalization of enterprises and national economies deeply influence industrial relations and labour standards worldwide. The twenty-one contributions in this book focus on these new impacts on industrial relations, in particular in Japan and Germany. They are the proceedings of an international conference held in Japan in autumn 1991.


The contributions are grouped into five sections:



  • Production Strategies and Industrial Relations in the Process of Internationalization
  • Internationalization and Industrial Relations
  • Subcontracting and Rationalization
  • Towards the Formation of Labour Standards
  • Concluding Remarks
