    Negotiations and Change: From the Workplace to Society

     
    An updated primer on labor.
    3/24/2003
    In 1965, Richard Walton and Robert McKersie published their seminal work—A Behavioral Theory of Labor Negotiations—providing a framework for much of the research that has been conducted on this topic since. Now Thomas Kochan, a long-time colleague of McKersie at MIT's Sloan School of Management, and David Lipsky, Director of the Institute on Conflict Resolution at Cornell University, offer Negotiations and Change: From the Workplace to Society as an update to Walton's and McKersie's 1965 volume. This edited volume includes essays from experts in the fields of industrial relations on topics ranging from workplace justice to lean production of workplace teams to union-dominated directors and corporate governance. The editors have taken care to make this volume coherent and to apply the theories set forth in A Behavioral Theory of Labor Negotiation to current issues faced by management today.
