Conclusions

In: Japanization at Work

Abstract

The previous four chapters have provided a detailed and contextualized analysis of major changes in the organization of work caused primarily by Japanese-style manufacturing methods. The conclusion aims to bring together the principal findings from the case-study chapters and relate them to the labour process and industrial relations themes posed at the outset of the book. The conclusion is organized into four sections. The sections focus on the identified themes: the adoption of Japanese management, job content and skills, job control and management strategy. The chapter ends by considering some of the implications for industrial relations practitioners of the findings discussed. However, before considering the themes and implications, it would be useful to summarize the observed adoption of Japanese-type production management practices.
