The feel-good place to buy books
Employer Strategy and the Labour Market by Jill Rubery
This book draws on important new data from the ESRC's Social Change and Economic Life Intitiative to test, modify, and challenge much of the current academic literature on the determinants of employer policy and how these influence employment structures and the employment opportunities of individuals.
`a valuable original work, providing clear theoretical analyses and new empirical data; the overall findings are effectively brought together in Rubery and Wilkinson's introductionLabour market theorists will need to take account of the empirical evidence presented' Work, Employment and Society
An extremely valuable and important piece of empirical research. In themselves, the papers that make up these volumes are excellent. * Sociology *
The volume bears testimony to a need for public discussion of organisational and employment patterns to be based upon solid and sound empirical data rather than upon the speculative and anecdotal assumptions that shape so much of this debate in the media and in Business Schools. * Sociology *
This is a fascinating and most useful book ... One thing that makes this book especially significant is the use of extensive survey material of UK firms ... the volume should become a prominent landmark in the wide literature on these topics. The book clearly demonstrates that in some key respects our thinking has to change, especially concerning fundamental theoretical assumptions ... The volume under review can be regarded as an important contribution to this tradition. It is strongly recommended. * Economic and Industrial Democracy *
