520			_aAgreement and Innovation: The International Dimension of Technological Change assesses the experience of introducing new technology taking into account the positions and needs of employers, workers and governments. Through surveys of legislation, case studies and attitudinal material from a variety of international sources, the authors present an overall picture of the participatory experience - where it works best, its extent and its nature. The text is in three sections. Part One presents a range of legislative provisions in France, West Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, USA and Australia. Part Two describes experiences across European enterprises, showing different practices of agreement. Part Three also uses a set of questions to pose in companies an audit of company needs. Cressey and Di Martino conclude the text by discussing possible directions for policy and support for enhanced worker representation. Agreement and Innovation is suitable for courses in sociology of work, organisational behaviour, industrial relations, personnel management, European studies, as well as managers, and trade union officials in industries using high technology, and government officials at national and international levels.
