Bemerkung:

Sehr gutes Ex. - Vorsatz mit Widmung und SIGNIERT von Denis Gregory. - Englisch. // Multinational Companies and Domestic Firms in Europe compares and contrasts wages, working conditions and industrial relations processes in multinational and domestic companies. Very little academic study has hither to been devoted to the differences that may or may not exist between the wages and conditions that multinational enterprises (MNEs) routinely offer compared to those of domestic companies with whom they compete.The analysis in this book covers 13 EU countries and five sectors of the economy: metal and electronics manufacturing: the retail industry; finance and call centres; information and communication technology (ICT); and transport and telecom. This book is an effort to map the social effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) throughout Europe, in relation to the prevailing patterns of internationalization. The need to examine critically the labour market and industrial relations aspects of recent waves of FDI is both timely and compelling.
