Top Management and Labour Relations

Jérôme Duval-Hamel

Chapter 55 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 477-483 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Do top executives still have the time and the interest to invest in labour relations? Are labour relations still considered sufficiently ‘strategic’ to be the concern of the top executive? How do they manage them? This topic hardly appears in management research and an analysis of managerial and specialist literature produces very little about it. A survey of general managers and presidents of large European companies has made it possible to identify a dynamic of commitment by top executives to social dialogue, together with a list of seven factors that promote involvement with labour relations.
