Abstract
The first decade of the 21st century
witnessed a series of conflicts
in renowned transnationals
as well as their ancillaries in India.
Although nearly all these
corporations have been characterized
by excellent technical capabilities,
reached great heights
in efficiency, and attained excellence
in several areas, they are
facing serious problems in their
relations with their employees and
unions (where present), especially
as worldwide recession tightened
its grip on the businesses. These
conflicts indicate considerable
similarities in the issues leading
to conflicts as well as management
responses to them and raise
several questions about their understanding
of the industrial law,
culture and practices in India and
other countries. There are also
dissimilarities and unique features
among them. This paper presents
an analysis of the common
and uncommon patterns.
