  3. What do we mean by globalisation? … the growing integration of economies and societies around the world (World Bank 2008) Globalisation is essentially … - the breakthrough that capitalism had to eventually come to in order to enable continued accumulation and growth in production sales, consumption, trade and investment … - an outcome of the build up of enormous pressure on the part of the [capitalist] agencies to get rid of … barriers so that they can gain better access to the many fields of activity previously blocked to them. (Trainer 2002)

Environmentally responsible HRM policies link to Japanese production system “Using the absolute minimum of staff (the Lean Production System), relying on intense horizontal communication of information (the Kanban System),and employing precisely-timed delivery and assembly (the Just-in-Time System), all combine to position the assembly worker as, perhaps, the key power holder among the many stakeholders in the enterprise.” (Winfield 1994)
