Industrial Relations in Japan - The Peripheral Sector

Informationen zum Autor Norma Chalmers Klappentext The conventional portrayal of Japanese industrial relations is of a number of large firms providing extremely attractive working conditions and perpetual employment for a contented workforce. Norma Chalmers shows that another side to the picture occurs in the peripheral sector, where conditions are often poor, wages very low, and continuity of employment virtually nonexistent. Zusammenfassung Argues that the model nature of large firms may stem in part from the fact that they are able to off-load problems onto smaller firms who produce the components necessary for the large firm sector at disadvantageous subcontract terms.
