  9. III. National Differences in Work Organisation Forms in the NMS – Lessons from the EWCS 2005 (2) • Learning or lean organisations are dominating: Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia and Poland • The share of taylorist or traditional work organisations are above the EU-27 average: Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria (SK and BG have significantly higher share of taylorist work organisation compared to EU-27) • Highest share of traditional organisational form: Lithuania and Czech Republic • Hungary represents a special case: the share of learning organisation is the 2nd highest among the NMS while the traditional and taylorist work organisations are slightly overrepresented

  12. IV. Drivers of delocalisation and sources of movement within the GVC – Lessons from the company case studies (2)

  13. IV. Drivers of corporate restructuring and knowledge as a key source of movement within the GVC – Lessons from the company case studies (3) • Forms of knowledge (individual vs collective and tacit vs coded knowledge) • Process of knowledge acquisition as a manifestation of power relations (e.g. shift from body leasing kind of cooperation to higher value added activities, cf. low and high skill equilibrium) • Decisive role of knowledge integration within the organization: conversion of individual to collective knowledge (for both tacit and coded knowledge). • Social skills and trust relations as a prerequisite for knowledge sharing (studied trust through teamwork and PBO).

  14. V. Concluding remarks (1) • The business system theory is an appropriate theoretical framework to better understand emerging capitalism in the transformation economies ( 4 variables of analysis: ownership, access to capital, access to local, national and international production systems and markets, role of the state in the economy). • The selected case studies have their own internal dynamics and their impacts on the movement within GVC. Moving up in the GVC in the international segment of the economy (i.e. SoftServ, DomainSoft). Freezing within GVC: Copy Fashion, Beer A.D.

  15. V. Concluding remarks (2) • 3) Role of institutional complementarities • formal educational institutions: inappropriate knowledge supply (quality and composition of knowledge), • fragmented labour relations system at national level and weakening of company level institutions of social dialogue
