Decentralisation and flexibilisation are the new watchwords encapsulating the principles of current changes in working time regulation. They are also the starting point for a debate about an uncontrollable erosion of working time regulation and Germany's dual system of industrial relations in general. Little is known about how new forms of working time regulation actually operate at establishment level, and whether they really lead in practice to a loss of employee control over working time. This question is discussed in the paper based on the results of a topical research project. The paper argues that the real challenges for working time regulation are the changes in the production regime of organisations towards a market-driven management system and that the practical effectiveness o...

In recent decades Germany and Denmark have constituted survival areas for the classical IR system in an era that has otherwise largely been characterised by the deregulation and disorganisation of industrial relations. From the mid-1990s onwards, however, it has to varying degrees been possible to observe erosive tendencies in these hitherto sturdy fortresses of "organised decentralisation". It is the main thesis of this article that the dualistic German system makes it more difficult for the German parties to adapt the bargaining system so that their overall coordination can be preserved even though the required decentralisation is introduced.

The status of the Personnel function is subject to an ongoing debate in which attention has largely shifted from department to individual practitioner level. There remains, however, significant functional power in organisational structures, particularly in more institutionalised contexts. Aimed at the departmental level, the higher education state funding council for England (HEFCE) introduced an initiative to improve Personnel departments in Higher Education. However, survey evidence confirms the continuation of the low power position of the department. An exploration of the empirical data highlights why: the routine rigidity of power in organisational structures, the fragmentation of departmental power, and Personnel role ambiguity.

Germany's health insurance system represents the archetype of the healthcare arrangement generally known as the "Bismarck model". Core elements of this model are the management of healthcare by self-governing corporatist bodies and the funding primarily by income-related contributions, not by taxes. The German health care system has been in a dynamic transformation process since the early 1990s. We currently have a situation where elements of different systems exist side by side. In this contribution we argue that this transformation has already robbed the core elements of the Bismarck system of a great deal of their importance, and that it must be expected that their significance will continue to decline as the reform process progresses.

German health care policy is characterized by a paradigm shift initiated by the enactment of the Health Care Structure Act in 1992. This fundamental change is both affecting in its care structures and its financial and regulatory mechanisms. This transformation is an expression of a paradigm change in health policy initiated during the first half of the 1990s. This paradigm change in health policy increasingly favours the goal of adapting the health care system to the perceived requirements of a globalised economy at the expense of the aim of covering the social life-risk of 'sickness'. Since it began, health policy has proceeded down that chosen development path, generally by means of incremental reforms. In terms of care structures the paradigm change involves modernization and ration...
