| Abstract: | This article reports a case study of employment flexibility patterns in four factories of a multinational company in western and central Europe. In factories with cooperative industrial relations, unions are extensively involved in employment flexibility even if management lacks a legal obligation or economic incentives to do so. As a result, it was found that the company policy is neither a straightforward adaptation to host country institutions, nor a simple diffusion of corporate 'best practice'. |
