Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Team-working, partnership, quality circles, works councils, industrial democracy, empowerment - are they distinct and innovative arrangements or is it a case of old wine in new bottles? In this book four experienced international analysts take the longer view and look at the changing forms of - and changing debates around - organizational participation.
They review an extensive literature of experiments and practical experiences through a critical evaluation of the available data to reach balanced conclusions about the importance and utility of this concept for organizations now and in the future.
Long description:
Team-working, partnership, quality circles, works councils, industrial democracy, empowerment - are they distinct and innovative arrangements or is it a case of new wine in old bottles? In the post war period we have seen numerous forms of organizational participation sometimes as experiments, sometimes as negotiated expediency, and sometimes as hype. Different ideas have emerged from different parts of the world, in different industries, at different times with different objectives.
In this book four experienced international analysts take the longer view and look at the changing forms of - and changing debates around - orgnaizational participation.
The review an extensive literature of experiments and practical experiences through a critical evaluation of the available data to reach balanced conclusions about the importance and utility of this concept for organizations now and in the future.
'Organizational Participation is the best and most definitive book available on participation. It is conceptually rich, empirically thorough, and analytically sound. It is comprehensive in describing the history of the subject as well as the many nations in which it is practised. The book represents the most interdisciplinary and balanced presentation available. It is full of advice and insights on new research as well as effective practice.' Chris Argyris, James Bryant Conant Professor of Education and Organizational Behaviour Emeritus, Harvard University
