What is Industrial Relations?

Richard Hyman

Chapter 1 in Industrial Relations, 1975, pp 9-31 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract What is meant by the term ‘industrial relations’? The subject has become an accepted area of academic study, with its own professors and university departments; and some clear definition of its scope and content might therefore be expected. Yet such definitions are surprisingly rare; and if those with unquestioned expertise in the field were to seek to specify its nature precisely, they would be likely to disagree in significant respects.
