Abstract

The planning and formulation of a management training course on industrial relations presents the specialist with a problem. It has been previously well publicised that formal industrial relations policies are rarely, if ever, set out clearly and in writing. Moreover, the subject of industrial relations has also received publicity on the ambiguity which the subject contains and the lack of consensus on what industrial relations means.
