| With
cheap labour and a strong supply base, India's automobile
sector has emerged successful in integrating itself
into the global production networks. Using case studies
from the National Capital Region, this paper seeks to
study the nature of changes in the organisation of production
and work in the automobile sector - both intra-firm
and inter-firm - and their impact on the changing labour
processes and issues of managerial control, skill or
working conditions. The anatomy of the recent waves
of labour unrest there has been studied to investigate
its relation with changing labour processes, and to
understand the new regime of accumulation from a political
economy perspective in terms of the dynamic interaction
of capital's strategy, technology and the agency of
labour. |
