U.S. Multinationals and the Control of Subsidiary Employment Policies
The authors examine whether U.S. multinational companies (MNCs) are distinctive in the degree to which they exert direct control over policy on human resources and employment relations (HR/ER) in their foreign subsidiaries. The results confirm the distinctiveness of U.S. MNCs in their greater degree of direct control of policy, compared not only with non-U.S. firms but with every other major nationality or national grouping of MNCs: France, Germa…
Multinational Companies in Cross-National Context
In the introductory article to a special issue on multinational corporations (MNCs) and employment practices, the authors highlight the key features of an international survey research project. Research teams carried out parallel surveys in four countries: Canada, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom. These surveys are the most comprehensive investigations of the employment practices in MNCs in their respective countries. In framing the compara…
The changing context of regional governance of FDI in England
This paper analyses relations between sub-national institutional actors responsible for the attraction and retention of foreign direct investment, other ‘governance’ actors in regional business systems – local and sub-regional government, cluster/sectoral bodies, RDA and LEP executives, and those involved in the coordination of skills provision – and subsidiaries of foreign-owned multinational corporations. It is based on qualitative research in …
Power, institutions and the cross-national transfer of employment practices in multinationals
This article argues for the systematic incorporation of power and interests into analysis of the cross-border transfer of practices within multinational companies (MNCs). Using a broadly Lukesian perspective on power it is argued that the transfer of practices involves different kinds of power capabilities through which MNC actors influence their institutional environment both at the ‘macro-level’ of host institutions and the ‘micro-level’ of the…
Transnational learning structures in multinational firms
The role of national institutional context is often overlooked in analyses of learning behaviour in multinational organizations. Drawing on arguments from institutional theory and learning theory we consider the organizational contingencies, and the institutional context in which these are embedded, in explaining the use of structures to support learning across national borders. It is hypothesized that country of origin effects on subsidiary lear…
Subsidiary responses to institutional duality
New institutionalist studies of human resource management in multinational companies argue that subsidiaries are faced with institutional duality-pressures to conform to parent company practices and to the local institutional environment in which they are based. To date, they have concentrated on how subsidiaries respond to parent company pressures. This article considers how subsidiary management responds to both parent company demands and host …

Industrial restructuring and EU-wide social measures
This article examines the lessons from the experience of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) with regard to debates about managing the social consequences of industrial restructuring within the European Union (EU). In particular it looks at the implications for moves from sectoral to regional forms of intervention, and from short-term social palliatives to a long-term proactive approach. It suggests that these developments may produce ne…

La dinamica salarial durante el franquismo. El caso de Renfe
El análisis de una cuestión tan importante como es la evolución del poder adquisitivo de los trabajadores durante el período franquista tropieza con graves dificultades debido a la inexistencia de series estadísticas continuas y suficientemente fiables acerca de los niveles salariales prevalecientes en dichos años. El Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE) no inició hasta 1963 la elaboración de una Encuesta de Salarios dirigida a establecimiento…
Industrial Relations in Britain
OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS academic social science has seen the growth of hybrid fields that have challenged the position of such established dis ciplines as sociology, political science, economics, psychology, and history. Criminology, media studies, and industrial relations now compete favoura bly for resources, students, and influence. Their claims of practical relevance have not been lost on policy makers, job seekers, and those who hold the purs…
Public Enterprise and the Politics of 'Commercialism
This article makes use of case studies of British and Spanish railways to examine changing patterns of industrial relations in the public enterprise sector. It looks at how political objectives are characteristically 'transmitted' from the state to the public enterprise. Transmission mechanisms include formal rules and direct intervention, as well as political bargaining and 'exchange' involving political authorities, enterprise management and, a…

The dominant class and industrial development in Peru
From 1968, a reformist military regime in Peru implemented an industrialising development strategy which was fundamentally at odds with the interests of the traditional ‘oligarchy’ that had dominated the primary export phase of the country's development. In order to understand this new phase of development it is necessary to reject the idea of a monolithic ‘oligarchy’ before 1968, and to see the Peruvian dominant class as already internally diffe…
