Industrial Relations: Text and Cases looks at changes in the industrial relation (IR) policy and practices in India over the last three decades, especially at the evolutionary nature of these changes. The post-globalisation scenario constitutes the focused area of this study, especially covering developments during the first decade of the new millennium. This book is a result of the author’s research and teaching experience of nearly thirty years and combines theory with practical illustrations and a large number of case studies. The Systems Theory has been applied to the Indian IR context to provide a framework of analyses for students of IR.
Besides students of Management, this comprehensive study of industrial relations in India will be of interest to anyone keen to know more about the subject. The book also covers organisational communications, knowledge workers, voluntary retirements schemes, Human Resource Management concepts, International HRM, the ILO’s role, quality circles and IR in the public sector.
