This edition offers a different approach to the topic of industrial relations within the developing world. It presents the view that strategies which aim for team building without recognizing the importance of diversity are likely to have limited success. This volume makes use of the an ethnographic account of an occupational industry based around the lock manufacturing industry in England, plus a number of ethnographically informed industrial relations accounts from the developing world. The book presents some examples from the lock industry ethnographies, exploring the experience of work on the assembly line in a lock factory from both the perspective of an ethnographic observer and then from the perspective of two assembly line workers themselves. It also presents a developing world example. The ethnographic observer's view is complemented and challenged by the accounts of the people rersearched. The accounts provided give a small glimpse of the many themes that arise in the workplace. Industrial relations con be seen as a web of many different things, harsh working conditions mixed with the alleviating effects of social interaction, and the part that social or community pressure plays in ensuring quality control and work commitment.
