Co-determinación y democracia económica. Homenaje a Walther Müller-Jentsch
Una reflexión sobre la obra y vida del recién fallecido gran sociólogo alemán Walther Müller-Jentsch sirve para recuperar los principales debates acerca de las relaciones laborales desde la II Guerra Mundial hasta nuestros días y aclarar el carácter de esta subdisciplina como un conjunto dinámico de instituciones y relaciones sociales. Las relaciones laborales no son un sistema ni una estructura ni mucho menos un conjunto de decisiones racionales…

From the Marriage in Heaven to the Divorce on Earth: The DaimlerChrysler Trajectory since the Merger

The company never became really integrated and the German management had to take over the responsibility for the whole group with Chrysler, Smart, Freightliner, Mitsubishi and Hyundai…
