Overview

""Industrial issues are often inextricably linked with labour market concerns and policy approaches that attempt to consider production and employment separately are inherently flawed."" This controversial statement sums up the heart of this book. With contributions from such scholars as Keith Cowling, Malcolm Sawyer and Michael Kitson, ""Industrial and Labour Market Policy and Performance"" covers such topics as: the increasing inequality between rich and poor; the links between innovation, competition and collaboration; and education, skills formation and human resource management. The evidence-led nature of the book should make it a useful read for students and academics involved in labour economics, industrial economics and industrial policy. The controversial findings of many of the chapters and its readable style should also appeal to informed policy commentators as well as policy-makers themselves.
