The Other Car Workers

Work, Organisation and Technology in the Maritime Car Carrier Industry

Beschreibung

The maritime car carrier industry has been entirely neglected by social scientists. This book examines globalization changes in cost structure and dynamics; in ownership, freight, labour and other markets; in technological innovation and ship design; and in relation to car manufacturers, ship management companies and crewing agents.
