- the firm as a social construction;

- social welfare effects of outsourcing;
- the company’s interaction with the network of suppliers and with local education processes;
- determining who actually carries responsibility towards workers;
- overcoming companies’ drive to enter the global market in response to national regulation;
- realizing the notion of ‘duty of care’;
- mechanisms of participation of workers in the management of the enterprise; and
- the persistent limitations that women face in the workplace, even when worker participation is advocated.
In their head-on tackling of the fragmentation and blurring of social responsibility in enterprise organization, these important chapters propose a view of the enterprise as a factor in a new ‘constitutionalization’ of labour that shifts employment protection from single legal entities to the network’s economic activity, thus realigning the legal boundaries of the enterprise with its economic reality. How this will help you: As a compelling investigation of how a satisfactory implementation of labour standards in the fragmented enterprise can be guaranteed, this book will be useful to entrepreneurs, managers, consultants, corporate lawyers, judges, human rights experts, and trade unionists, and it will be welcomed by academics and researchers in industrial relations and labour law.
