Flexible Working in Food Retailing (2000, Hardcover)

The book is based on an extensive program of coordinated collaborative international research which aims to provide case-specific data in relation to food retailing nationally and internationally in countries which demonstrate different cultures, economic and social structures and employment systems. The inclusion of Japanese material is of particular interest to those researching working practices in Japan - as there is currently much debate about flexible Japanese manufacturing industry, but little on services such as retailing.
