"The massive changes under way in capitalist commodity production include the transition from a traditional or Fordist approach to a post-Fordist one, involving practices such as employee involvement, continuous improvement, and gain-sharing. In this research monograph, Bob Russell explores the changing character of industrial relations and labour processes in two staple industries: potash and uranium mining.".

"Using an innovative case-analytic approach, Russell compares the managerial strategies used by five transnational firms."--BOOK JACKET.
