Studies of business have often sought to explain features of management activity, particularly labour management activity, with reference to the product market conditions faced by managers. This paper argues that a more nuanced understanding of management can be gained by examining both the product and financial market environment. These conditions influence the structuring of management and the development and application of managerial policy. This paper examines the management, particularly the labour management, of one of Australia's leading companies during the twentieth century. Specifically it examines how the product and financial market environment faced by this company in the 1970s influenced the labour management strategies pursued. It shows that particular market conditions will privilege or provide justification for certain types of labour management activity. This is illustrated by examining this company's operation under two distinct sets of market conditions. |
