The Transformation of the British Business Culture under the Globalizing Environment*

International Area Studies Review, 2005, vol. 8, issue 2, 203-222

Abstract: The British business culture from the view point of industrial relations still remains at the position of the bargained constitutional form based on the adversarial relationships between employers and employees, even if some limited moves into a sophisticated modern type were noticed. This limits came from the distrust between the two parties which occurred in the implementation of a partnership agreement. Some cases here, though still quite pragmatic or opportunistic, indicate the possibility of moving into the sophisticated modern or a true partnership which is defined as cooperative or concession-based industrial relations. Further success is contingent upon fundamental structural changes and the effort of increasing the trust between employers and employees.
