The Social Transfers of Multinationals in Central Europe: British, US, Austrian and German Experiences Reviewed

Guglielmo Meardi, Sonja Strohmer and Franz Traxler

Chapter 2 in Globalizing Employment Relations, 2011, pp 29-44 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract ‘If co-determination didn't exist, it should be invented’ (Hartz, 2007: 103). These are the words of Peter Hartz, former head of human resources at Dilliner Hütte and Volkswagen and former advisor to Chancellor Schroder for labour market reforms. Yet, if ‘co-determination’ is good for German companies’ effectiveness and economic success, should not they transfer it when they open new sites in neighbouring countries? And would this set an example, or ‘best practice’, for local companies?
