Japanese and US Management in Britain: Present Patterns and Future Trends

Ormiston, Hugh Charles (1989) Japanese and US Management in Britain: Present Patterns and Future Trends. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.

Abstract

The thesis is essentially in two parts. The first, Chapters 2 to 4, is a comparison, using the case study method, of aspects of industrial relations in two British plants, two American plants and two Japanese plants all located in Britain. The second section, Chapters 5 to 8, is essentially analytical and uses the empirical results as a basis for a theoretical explanation of the reasons for the differences. A continuing contemporary link is provided by relating the analysis to recent events in Ford (UK) plants in Britain and industrial relations information emerging from the recently established Nissan plant near Sunderland.
