| Tiivistelmä: | The authors use two models from biological science -- the evolutionary model of gradual adaptation, and the contrasting punctuated equilibrium theory that posits occasional periods of rapid, fundamental change punctuating longer periods of stability -- to define industrial relations system "transformation" and explore its implications. An industrial relations system can be said to have undergone transformation when the network of basic assumptions and principles underlying that system is changed, and such change can occur either through gradual adaptation or through abrupt revolution. |
