| Tiivistelmä: | The results of an establishment level investigation of flexible manpower resourcing in the Aberdeen local labour market is presented. It is necessary to place these results in the context of an increasing interest inflexible manning and of certain theoretical developments in labour and industrial economics. Whilst a variety of means are used to attain flexibility in manning, few establishments can be regarded as truly "flexible firms" and manpower strategies are largely reactive and ad hoc. A number of reasons causes firms to adopt flexible manning practices or to intensify the degree of flexibility in the labour force. The concept of the flexible firm is analysed in detail. |
