“…What are the possibilities of, and constraints facing, these networks as empowering sources of social action and capital? Recent research is beginning to tease out some of these issues by following specific commodity networks, such as Asian fashion and foods, and their circuitry in other contexts (for example, Hardill and Raghuram, 1998; Crang et al. , 2000; 2003; Dwyer and Jackson, 2003; Werbner, 1999; 2001; see also Cook and Harrison, 2003).…”

“…The continuing proliferation of ethnic minority businesses in advanced industrial economies reflects these ethnic groups' resilient mining of fringe economic activities. Extant studies have drawn upon different theoretical traditions to document the presence of ethnic minorities in business; these range from cultural approaches (Hardill and Raghuram, 1998;Werbner 1990), to the recent articulation of a 'mixed embeddedness' perspective (Kloosterman et al, 1999). Still neglected though, is an appreciation of the ways in which ethnic minority businesses may be developing, and the dynamics that underpin the growth of such enterprises.…”

Managing Labour in Small Firms

This book explores the manner in which the size of the organisation influences the employment relationship with a focus upon small enterprises. The majority of organisations in the UK economy are categorised as small firms, having under 50 employees, and in 2002 such firms were found to provide 43 per cent of jobs within the economy (DTI, 2002). Clearly these organisations make a critical contribution to the British economy, yet-surprisingly-until quite recently very little was known about how such firms managed their labour. Since the 1990s there has been a growing body of evidence which has explored the employment relationship in small firms and this book fulfils an important task by recognising the importance of this literature, and also by moving the debate forward. Managing Labour in Small Firms also acknowledges that size-whilst influential in shaping firm behaviour-will interact with context to create particular employment relationships. These relationships are examined in chapters covering: • HRM in the smaller organisation • The challenge of undertaking research in such firms • The impact of regulation • The influence of social embeddedness • The affect of the national minimum wage • Training and development • Pay construction • Employee representation These discussions link the key themes and concepts within employment relations, and illustrate how firm size shapes their articulation and consequent management. Written by well respected specialists in the field, this is one of the only books on the market covering this topic, and as such it will be an essential text for researchers and graduates studying business and management, human resource management and industrial relations.
