What is Industrial Relations System Transformation?
Author InfoErickson, C. L. Kuruvilla, S. Abstract This paper analyzes the concept of “transformation” that many allege has occured recently in a wide variety of national industrial relations systems. After a summary of the debate, with particular reference to the contentious case of Germany, we attempt to develop a definition of industrial relations system transformation on the basis of biological analogies and, in particular, the ‘punctuated equilibrium” theory. We argue that the application of these frameworks raises a set of fundamental questions that must be addressed in order for the debate over the existence of industrial relations transformation to move forward.
