The Promise and Limits of Private Power pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
This book examines and evaluates various private initiatives to enforce fair labor standards within global supply chains. Using unique data (internal audit reports, and access to more than 120 supply chain factories and 700 interviews in 14 countries) from several major global brands, including NIKE, HP, and the International Labor Organization's Factory Improvement Programme in Vietnam, this book examines both the promise and the limitations of different approaches to actually improve working conditions, wages, and working hours for the millions of workers employed in today's global supply chains. Through a careful, empirically grounded analysis of these programs, this book illustrates the mix of private and public regulation needed to address these complex issues in a global economy.
Richard Locke is the Howard Swearer Director of the Watson Institute for International Studies and Professor of Political Science at Brown University. He is professor on leave in the MIT Political Science Department.
Locke's current research is focused on improving labor and environmental conditions in global supply chains. Working with leading firms like Nike, Coca Cola, Apple, and HP, Locke and his students have been showing how corporate profitability and sustainable business practices can be reconciled. Locke has published five books – most recently The Promise & Limits of Private Power, Cambridge University Press (2013), based on his research on labor standards in global supply chains; Production in the Innovation Economy, with Rachel Wellhausen, The MIT Press (2013); Working in America with Paul Osterman, Thomas Kochan, and Michael Piore, The MIT Press (2001); Employment Relations in a Changing World Economy with Thomas Kochan, Michael Piore, The MIT Press (1995); and Remaking the Italian Economy, Cornell University Press (1995), as well as numerous articles on economic development, labor relations, and corporate responsibility.
全球产业链和劳工运动关注者值得入手。讲在当下购买者驱动(buy-driven)的全球产业链中,跨国公司如何监督、帮助供应商(suppliers)改善工作环境促进工人福利同时保持甚至提高生产力。800多场访谈、15个国家的田野,以及从耐克邓公司获得的翔实数据。适合拿来获得系统性的结构视角。对于各个行动者(buyer, supplier, worker, govt.)的利益、策略都有比较透彻的认识。思维复杂程度维持在一般商学院著作水平。
评分之前有人评价说“思维复杂程度维持在一般商学院著作水平”。可真是太黑了。写作风格很谜,访谈和田野都好像做了很多,但行文一点都没表现出来。挺有意思的有两点:一是驳了产业升级能带来更好的工作环境,虽然数据里的升级幅度有限,但还挺能让人联想到996那一套员工驯化术。二是说需求不确定性太高,用工要灵活势必牺牲劳动者权益。这种按TCE或者Contingency Theory正常来说都是最后要垂直合并解决问题的,奈何生产成本低太多。
