Katz And Owen Darbishire Find That Traditional National Systems Of Employment Are Being Challenged By Four Cross-national Patterns. The Patterns, Which Are Becoming Ever More Prevalent, Can Be Categorized As Low-wage, Human Resource Management, Japanese-oriented, And Joint Team-based Strategies.--book Jacket.
