After Lean Production : Evolving Employment Practices in the World Auto Industry Hardback
Edited by Thomas A. Kochan, Russell D. Lansbury, John Paul MacDuffie
Part of the Cornell International Industrial and Labor Relations Reports series
Hardback
Description
Nearly every country that produces cars views the automobile industry as strategically important because of its direct economic significance and because it serves as a bellwether for innovation in employment conditions.
In this book, industrial relations experts from eleven countries consider the state of the industry worldwide.
They are particularly interested in assessing whether the loudly heralded model of lean production initiated by Toyota has become pervasive.The contributors focus on employment practices: the way work is organized, how workers and managers interact, the way worker representatives respond to lean production strategies, and the nature of the adaptation and innovation process itself.
