Industrial Relations is designed to meet the requirements of management students by explaining the key concepts of industrial relations and labour law through managerial applications and the various government act on labour legislation. Students of other courses, such as human resource management, personnel management, and industrial relations, will also find this book relevant and useful. Given its practical, application-orientated approach, it will also be a useful resource for practising managers and other professional active in training and consultancy.The book discusses industrial relations in the context of the recent trends in the globalized economy and covers the principal actors, the conceptual and legal frameworks, critical issues such as labour policy and labour law reform, workplace reductions, and the impact of technological change on industrial relations. It also discusses the interface between human resource management and industrial relations, as also the approaches to developing sound industrial relations.The book, therefore, has the fundamentals of traditional industrial relations, the unfolding and emerging trends in industrial relations and details about positive aspects of relationship-management in industry and various acts relating to industry, thereby, providing a holistic reading to students.
