Recession, Innovation and Industrial Relations:: The US car industry in crisis

Abstract

The 1979–82 recession in the US car industry has been accompanied by both technological change and the rebirth of the human relations approach to industrial relations. This article considers the state of play in the technological and industrial relations “revolutions” of US car manufacturers in the early 1980s.
