Breaking from Taylorism Changing Forms of Work in the Automobile Industry

In this book, the future of one of the world's most important industries is examined from the perspective of work structures and labour relations policies. The authors examine the restructuring of the world automobile industry in the 1980s, and draw data from an in-depth empirical study of three leading car companies in three different countries: the US, the UK, and Germany. They demonstrate that differences between firms and countries have had a major impact on the way in which change has come about. This book is an important contribution to the study of mass production industries throughout the world.Jürgens, Ulrich is the author of 'Breaking from Taylorism Changing Forms of Work in the Automobile Industry' with ISBN 9780521405447 and ISBN 0521405440.
