Automatisierung und Arbeit in der Automobilindustrie
Against the backdrop of the discussion on Industry 4.0, this book investigates the car industry’s experiences with automation so far and its impact on work. The book’s examination of developments at Ford, Toyota and Volkswagen over the past 100 years generates surprising insights into automation processes and their influencing factors. The book opposes technology-centred and monocausal approaches to explaining transformation processes and simplif…

L’inéluctable évolution des modèles productifs chez les constructeurs automobiles chinois et indiens
Dans les économies émergentes, le changement social et la croissance rapide ont donné naissance à de nouveaux marchés automobiles et à une demande de voitures relativement peu chères et assez modernes. Les constructeurs locaux qui montent et les entreprises établies originaires des pays de la Triade sont en compétition pour la domination de ces vastes segments de marché. Notre article se penche sur les modèles productifs développés dans ce contex…
Lean Production
The term “lean production” was introduced in the late 1980s to characterize Japanese production system contrasting them with Western mass production systems. The model for the lean production system (LPS) is the Toyota production system. Central to LPS, besides certain principles concerning the layout and management of production processes is the reliance on employee empowerment and teamwork. The diffusion of LPS has been accompanied by controver…

Corporate Governance und Arbeitnehmerbeteiligung in den Spielarten des Kapitalismus
Die Frage, welchen Einfluss Arbeitnehmer auf die Führung und Kontrolle von Unternehmen haben, trifft einen Kernpunkt der Diskussion um Spielarten des Kapitalismus. Die nationalen Institutionssysteme – so die weit verbreitete Position – favorisieren bestimmte Formen der Corporate Governance: auf Shareholder Value orientierte angelsächsische Systeme mit wenig Raum für Arbeitnehmerbeteiligung einerseits, partizipationsfreundlichere kontinentaleuropä…

Work models in the Central Eastern European car industry
The integration of the Central Eastern European (CEE) countries into the European Union (EU) has provoked debates about the danger of a ‘race to the bottom’ in Europe caused by the low wages and weak labour regulation and labour standards in CEE. This article examines the evolution of work models in the CEE automotive industry. It argues that the work models in CEE did not take the low‐road trajectory. Rather, a limited high‐road model emerged in…
Changing East–West Division of Labour in the European Automotive Industry
The article deals with the impact of the emerging new division of labour between Western and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) on work and employment, both in the Western and CEE countries. Major points of discussion will be the hypothesis of a `hollowingout' of the Western European auto industry, and the hypothesis of a `regime flight'; that is, the claim that companies use CEE locations to escape the collectively regulated work models of Western…

Shareholder value in an adverse environment
The German political economy has often been cited as a classical case of non-shareholder value orientation. Its productionist, long-term, consensus orientation has often been contrasted with the 'Anglo-Saxon approach'. The influence of shareholders who press for shareholder value and the importance of the equity market have traditionally been low. But there are signs of change. In this article we describe some of these changes and try to assess t…
Small Firms in the Japanese Economy
Now in paperback, this book considers the role of small firms in the Japanese economy and challenges established views of the Japanese economy, society and political economy. Japan's giant corporations are household names, and dominate our views of the Japanese economy. But surprisingly, Japan also ranks alongside Italy as having the highest proportion of small firms - and employment in them - amongst the OECD countries. These small firms have ei…

Post-sozialistische Transformation der Einzelhandels Strukturen in Leipzig
Post-socialist transformation of retail structures in Leipzig Within the few years since the opening of the borders of the German Democratic Republic and the subsequent unification of Germany, the influence of a market economy has completely changed the economic and social basis of East German cities and their inhabitants. As a consequence, the systems of wholesale and retail trade that were custom ary in the East German command economy have also…
The Transformation of Industrial Relations in Eastern Germany
Citing case studies based on interviews they conducted in 1991 and 1992 with labor representatives and managers at six eastern German manufacturing firms, the authors argue that the future could hold either vigor and growth or stagnation and permanent second-class status for the economy and labor movement in eastern Germany, depending largely on actor strategy and choice. The rapid spread of privatization and open markets is tending to undermine …

Zur neueren marxistischen Diskussion über die Analyse von Form und Funktion des bürgerlichen Staates
Der gegenwärtige „Staatsboom“ in der sozialwissenschaftl ichen Diskussion hat zwar mittlerweile die „etablierten“ Disziplinen erreicht, aber offensichtlich tun sie sich schwer, das Verhältnis von Staat und Ökonomie im entwickelten Kapitalismus zu klären. So verwundert es nicht, daß zumindest das theoretische Interesse an der marxistischen Theorie allgemein zunimmt, zumal der Begriff Politische Ökonomie das Vorurteil nahelegt, es handele sich hier…
