- Summary:
- "Viewed through an anthropological lens, Automobili Lamborghini, the renowned Italian factory of super cars, presents a compelling case study. As an ethnography spanning three years, the book focuses on the different perspectives of the managers and the workers and the effects of the organization on their lives. It highlights the increasing value of Automobili Lamborghini for the VW Group globally and analyzes the organizational structure and the industrial relations (IR) system, the so-called Mitbestimmung (co-determination), which represents an interesting and original amalgamation between the German model of IR and the Italian tradition of both managerial and trade-union action and behaviour"-- Provided by publisher.
