Description
Management by Agreement (1973) examines the ramifications of the 1971 Industrial Relations Act and industrial relations in Britain. It looks at the threats of Government legal action against trade unions and the reform of collective bargaining, and concludes that the Act fails to deal with management's crucial problem: the interaction of two opposing pressures from the workforces and the economic climate.
