The essays are useful because they analyze recent changes in the organization of work in various national automobile industries, connect these changes, in almost all cases, to some type of 'crisis,' and demonstrate that these changes are inspired by Japanese methods of so-called 'lean production.'... The relevance and timeliness of the essays make this book a worthy addition to any collection on the world auto industry.
