Book Description
This booklet is written for the general reader who wants to understand important trends in vocational education and training. It aims to give the reader an understanding of industry restructuring by answering three key questions: What is industry restructuring? Why restructure? How is industry restructuring achieved? The first part describes industry and award restructuring as well as restructuring at the industry level and at the enterprise level. The second part discusses the external and internal forces that cause restructuring within enterprises. The third part describes a strategic approach to restructuring and then considers each of the six elements of operational strategy that are involved in the current restructuring process: new technology, change to work organization, job redesign, award restructuring, definition of skill-related career paths, and education and training. A number of case studies are referred to in the discussion in each of the three parts. The final section of the booklet provides an annotated list of 36 publications for further reading. (YLB)

Award Restructuring and the Implications for TAFE
Author: Graham Chataway
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Arbitration and award
Languages : en
Pages : 54
Book Description
A study investigated the human and physical resources implications of award restructuring in the textiles and metals industries for the Technical and Further Education (TAFE) system in Australia. (Award restructuring is based on union/employer cooperation in a process of negotiation and compromise between employers committed to increased productivity and efficiency and a work force seeking improved skills, responsibility, and working conditions.) Information was obtained through case studies of the two industries and of several companies in each industry. Qualitative research methods such as site visits, interviews, work observation, and document analysis were used to gather data for the case studies. Some of the key implications that were identified were the following: (1) TAFE colleges need to adapt more quickly and realistically by providing both site-specific and off-the-job training in subject areas identified by companies as being their most pressing needs; (2) TAFE training needs to reflect the impacts of award restructuring upon a company's operating processes; (3) TAFE needs to recognize the internal labor markets being created by award restructuring within companies; (4) greater emphasis needs to be placed on the implications for TAFE of skills, competencies, assessment procedures, and accreditation; (5) TAFE educational institutions should not give priorities to the production of commercially useful knowledge while neglecting the lifelong learning process; and (6) a redirected curriculum focus is needed, integrating vocational education and training systems.

Civil Society
Author: Elizabeth Dunn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134827083
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Between kinship ties on the one hand and the state on the other, human beings experience a diversity of social relationships and groupings which in modern western thought have come to be gathered under the label 'civil society'. A liberal-individualist model of civil society has become fashionable in recent years, but what can such a term mean in the late twentieth century? Civil Society argues that civil society should not be studied as a separate, 'private' realm clearly separated in opposition to the state; nor should it be confined to the institutions of the 'voluntary' or 'non-governmental' sector. A broader understanding of civil society involves the investigation of everyday social practices, often elusive power relations and the shared moralities that hold communities together. By drawing on case materials from a range of contemporary societies, including the US, Britain, four of the former Communist countries of Eastern Europe, Turkey and the Middle and Far East, Civil Society demonstrates what anthropology contributes to debates taking place throughout the social sciences; adding up to an exciting renewal of the agenda for political anthropology.

The Organization of Labour Markets
Author: Bo Strath
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113478628X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
There have been dramatic shifts in the behaviour of labour markets and the conduct of industrial relations in the last century. This volume explores these changes in the context of four very different societies: Germany, Sweden, Britain and Japan. However, despite their manifest differences, the author demonstrates that for long periods their labour markets were similar in many crucial respects. The book discusses: * the failure of neo-corporatism in Britain in the 1970's and the subsequent rise of Thatcherism; * the rise of Japan as a model for orderly industrial relations in the 1970's * the collapse of the German and the success of the Swedish labour markets in the 1930's.
