| Abstract
|
:
|
"Japanese manufacturing firms based in Britain have often been portrayed as carriers of Japanese corporate best practice in the organization of work and employment relations. In this book, the authors challenge these views through case study research, undertaken at several Japanese manufacturing plants in Britain." "This book is an important theoretical and empirical intervention in contemporary debate about international firms and globalization, and will be of interest to teachers, researchers, and advanced students of this subject from disciplines including Business Studies, Industrial Relations, Organization Studies, Political Economy, Sociology, and Economic and Social Geography."--BOOK JACKET.
