One Company, Diverse Workplaces: The Social Construction of Employment Practices in Western and Eastern Europe

Presenting original empirical evidence gathered in five countries, this book provides an inquiry into the process through which multinational companies (MNCs) establish and reinforce their position across Western European and post-socialist Central and Eastern European host countries. It is a direct response to recent literature's call for systematic comparative analyses of politics inside MNCs and the relationship between management and employees in a cross-national perspective.
