• Sommario/riassunto: Since 1990, foreign direct investment (FDI) has quickened economic modernization in Central Europe. Labour Relations - as an essential factor in the organization of labour and production - have already been impacted upon by this modernization. On the basis of an analysis of nine corporations, this book uncovers various emerging models of industrial relations but also a clear tendency towards company centralization.
