Summary, etc. | Industrial relations continue to be a source of problems and frustrations in many societies experiencing the rapidly changing conditions of a technological age. Certain basic issues are common to all: how to achieve a sustained rate of economic growth as a basis for an improved standard and quality of living, and at the same time to create dynamic and flexible patterns of organization and control whereby a trained and willing work force can reach high levels of pro duction and efficiency.

It offers an interesting commentary on the activities of the workers' councils in two fac tories in Belgrade, and on their relations with the other organizations that play a part in the |
