Product Description:

A critical mass of events has been transforming the American work scene, bringing unprecedented and irreversible changes to the way American corporations relate to world markets and how they interact with their workforce. These changes are bringing about new paradigms in corporate structure, organisation and operation. For many corporations, these changes involve substantial alterations such as recasting worklife. "Rebirth" is often validly used as a descriptive term for corporations that successfully weathered the massive onslaught of global economic, demographic and technological changes in the last decade and the imperatives confronting many others for years to come. Officials, executives and students need to know how and why new policies, strategies, organisation designs and employment relationships are indicated, as well as to learn lessons and guidelines from which to launch new policies and employment relationships. This is necessary either because these parties must enact or guide developments or they are a part of the changes and need to understand the factors which have changed their standard of living. This book is designed to provide understanding and sufficient examples and guidelines for planners, strategists, and senior managers so that they can start to address the specifics of their situations. It provides numerous exhibits encompassing "new paradigm" features - point-by-point features of newer employment relationships (based on a "new psychological contract") and useful reference information sorted out according to key topics. "New paradigm" organisations are characterised by management credibility, mutual trust and co-operative working relationships. Employee involvement and participative management are also hallmarks of the "new paradigm" companies.
