Summary: As the United States pursues more globally competitive labor relations strategies, it would do well to learn from Germany, whose employment system is characterized by high wages and high productivity, a negotiated rather than contentious approach to labor-management relations, and a powerful ability to diffuse workplace innovations. In turn as Germany confronts the challenges of integrating the East German economy as well as the competitive pressures of the 1990s, it would benefit from an examination of the U.S. system's flexibility and capability to generate high-performance innovations in employment relations. Drawing on the examples of innovative workplace practices in both countries, Negotiating Competitiveness suggests a mix of public and private sector strategies that can capitalize on the strengths of both systems.
