Employment and Labor Relations in South Korea and Taiwan
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the employment relations practices in South Korea and Taiwan. South Korea and Taiwan have slowly progressed towards becoming countries with high industrialization and have become significant players on the world markets. Within each country however exists slightly different aspects of employment and labor relations which have led to the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of their employees. In South Korea, labor struggles exist between the state, the family run conglomerates called chaebols and the labor unions. Although South Korea provides competitive employee packages, the conflict between the three groups has led to a recent general strike and relations were further inflamed in 1996 when the government passed legislation which would allow more strength on the behalf of the employers not the workers. Taiwan, on the other hand also has family run businesses and labor unions but the state’s participation is a large aspect of their employment relations and industrial success. Because of this cooperation between the three groups within the employment sector, the workers in Taiwan are provided with education, health and social services as well as enjoying some of the most competitive salaries and benefits in Asia and employment relations remain positive.

France And South Korea: Comparison Of Employment Relations Environment
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Thistle Electronics is a UK-owned company whose core business is manufacturing micro-electronic components and circuitry for such electronic consumer goods as mobile phones and computer peripherals. From its original plant in Glenrothes, Scotland it has expanded rapidly and is planning a vigorous policy of overseas direct investment in its manufacturing capacity in a number of potential locations. The company enthusiastically adopted a number of HRM practices in the late 1980s including performance related pay, team working, and a strategy of total flexibility with a heavy use of temporary workers and flexible working time (including overtime on demand). It has always refused to recognize a trade union, relying instead on a variety of employee involvement practices. The current Chief Executive, Ed McGregor, is aware that Thistle's domestic non-union approach may not be sustainable in many of the target locations overseas but remains unsure about the precise labor market and employment relations environments which Thistle can expect to encounter.
