Organizational Participation - Myth and Reality (Paperback)

Team-working, partnership, quality circles, works councils, industrial democracy, empowerment - are they distinct and innovative arrangements or is it a case of old wine in new bottles? In this book four experienced international analysts take the longer view and look at the changing forms of - and changing debates around - organizational participation.

They review an extensive literature of experiments and practical experiences through a critical evaluation of the available data to reach balanced conclusions about the importance and utility of this concept for organizations now and in the future.
