Downsizing in America: Reality, Causes, and Consequences

by Julian N. May

Downsizing in America: Reality, Causes, and Consequences Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the 1980s early 1990s, a substantial number of U.S. companies announced major restructuring and downsizing. But we don't know exactly what changes in the U.S. and global economy triggered this phenomenon. "Downsizing in America combines an investigation of the underlying realities and causes of workforce reduction with an insightful analysis of the consequent shift in the balance of power between management and labor, to provide us with a deeper understanding of one of the major economic shifts of recent times--one with farreaching implications for all American workers.

Synopsis:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 303-311) and index.
