Abstract

Industrial relations research on management strategy has tended to ignore the influence of individual labour laws enforced by specialist industrial tribunals. This paper looks at the effect of a particular specialist tribunal, which enforces anti-discrimination laws, on managerial strategy in public sector organisations. It argues that the formulation and implementation of management policies are influenced by exposure to the activities of specialist tribunals, indicating the partial origins of managerial strategy in fear, and its gradual accretive nature.
