Employment relations in German multinational companies in the UK and the future of the German model: empirical evidence on country-of-origin effects and industry internationalisation.

Description

No / Interest has grown in the significance of the country-of-origin
impact on the Employment Relations (ER) approaches in the international
subsidiaries of Multinational Companies (MNCs). In this article, a comparative
cross-sectional analysis of German subsidiaries with indigenous UK firms will
be provided. The central issues concern the extent to which German MNCs in
deregulated Anglo-American industrial relations settings draw on the German
ER model, adjust to the host-country context or adopt current ¿best practice¿
prescriptions frequently associated with leading US MNCs. Here, the key
questions are: How and to what extent do different industry-specific forces
interrelate with country-of-origin effects and pressures to adopt ¿best practice¿
approaches to shape subsidiary ER outcomes? / Hans Blocker Foundation
