Inter-capital relations and the network organisation: redefining the work and employment nexus
探讨组织网络如何模糊边界,重新定义工作与就业,分析资本间竞争与生产关系对就业的影响,并提出保护工人利益的新视角。
The blurring of organisational boundaries associated with 'networks' of organisations suggests the need to reconsider how work and employment are shaped by shifting inter-capital relations. Traditional theories of the internalised employment relationship understate its inter-relationship with both the form of inter-capitalist competition and the type of inter-capitalist production relations. Also, existing theories of inter-organisational contracting do not adequately address how these are shaped by employment relations, both within and between organisations. An alternative approach provides a new perspective for considering forms of countervailing power to protect workers' interests in a capitalist system continuously shifting from integrated to non-integrated forms. © The Author 2005.
