Reviews / Votes

`...a welcome addition....an interesting study of trade union and management practices in contrasting industrial environments.' - Development and Change



`This is an impressive study which looks at management policy and bargaining relationships in the overall employee relations atmosphere of multinationals corporations (MNCs) in Bombay. It is part of a series of studies sponsored under the Indo-dutch programme on alternatives in development.... a book wholeheartedly recommended for those who wish to gain useful insights into the employee relations situation in the country.' - Business India





`The book is an interesting empirical account of MNC's managerial practice in India and offers illuminating contrasts with parent company practice in Europe.' - The Times Review of Books





`This book will remain an asset to any scholar of industrial relations particularly in the present context of liberalisation.' - Management and Labour Studies





`The book provides a depth study of the actual impact of multinational companies on industrial relations in India.' - Marketology Quarterly





`This study, which provides a comparative account of employment and labour relations in the units of the same multinationals in India and the Netherlands, is certainly a welcome attempt. The methodology of the study is unconventional in that the authors, having extensively interviewed the managers of the companies and linked this information with other available works, present a neat account of how the employee relations in the companies under study are distinct from what obtains in their counterparts in the Netherlands.' - Sunday Herald





`The book is easy to read and written in an interesting style. It is most thoroughly researched and serves as a useful guide to those interested in labour relations in international companies located in India and Holland.' - Relations Indusrielles
