Here is a wonderful example of the (case study) approach to the study of complexity in organisational change in employment….While many writers refer rather vaguely to trends in ‘globalisation’ or ‘work flexibility’ the great strength of this book is the way (it) gives real meaning and flesh to these terms and ,many other. John Purcell, Industrial Relations Journal, 2004

 

 

 

Beynon H, and Austrin T. (1996) Masters and Servants: Class and Patronage in the Making of a Labour Organisation  “An example of both history from above and history from below …this account comes as close as any sociology does to capturing a comprehensive account of the lives of the people observed. …Beynon and Austrin have delivered something rather profound. Here there is life”. Ian Roberts, Sociology 1999

 

 

 

Beynon H  (1985) Working For Ford Penguin, second edition with two new chapters and preface
Beynon H  (1973) Working For Ford, Penguin. The unleashing of academics on to the shop floor has been a mixed blessing for working people.Huw Beynon is an exception. Working For Ford is an absolute delight, a rare and valuable contribution to our understanding of work and grass roots trade unionism. We hear the shop floor speaking and its voice is raucous, rebellious and utterly irreverent. (David Wilson, The Observer 27 June 1973)
