    Labour-Management Partnerships: U.S. Evidence and Implications for Ireland


    McKersie, Robert B. (1996) Labour-Management Partnerships: U.S. Evidence and Implications for Ireland. Irish Business and Administrative Research, 17 (2): 1. pp. 1-13. ISSN 0332-1118

    Abstract

    For many years after publication of The Transformation of American Industrial Relations (Koch an, Katz & McKersie 1986), we observed only scant evidence that the transformation process, especially at the strategic level, was actually taking place. Finally, now, in the mid-1990s,'à wide range of activities under the banner of labour- management, strategic partnerships can be seen, and they possess the potential to bring forth a new paradigm in employment relationships. Many examples in both the manufacturing and public sectors can be found in the United States, Britain, and Ireland, as well as other European countries.
