AUSTRALIA RECONSTRUCTED: STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES FOR STAKEHOLDERS
Abstract
The model form of macro-economic policy integration and the tripartite implementation mechanism put forward in Australia Reconstructed, a report of the ACTU/TDC mission to Western Europe, are examined. The form of evidence presented is found not to provide a test of the model's validity, nor is the format consistent with its message content. The model aside, the underlying premise that tripartite participation leads to commitment is questioned. An alternative rationale supporting the use of tripartite-like mechanisms in Australia, that of maximisation of strategic advantages now associated with new information technologies is presented. The implications for management, shareholders and union stakeholders are highlighted.
