"This paper expands the discussion on working life reform from the wellknown
European examples to cover recent developments in East Asia as
well. A comparison between two European (Finland and Ireland) and two
East Asian (Singapore and South Korea) workplace development strategies
is carried out by making use of Naschold’s model that he developed
in the early 1990s. The main question is how are the macro-level differences
in the developmental role of the state and the micro-level differences
in the systems of industrial relations and human resource management
reflected in the strategies and what policy implications might be
drawn from the analysis. At the end, the paper also compares each country’s
strategy in relationship to its own earlier historical development and
aims to analyse how radical are the strategy choices that have been made." (author's abstract)... view less
