Abstract

[Shifting the focus across the Atlantic, this chapter explores how a different arrangement prevailed in Córdoba. This case shows how firm-based arrangements without a supporting public scheme characterize the industrial landscape especially when economic and political stakeholders are divided into partisan camps under a federal system. In contrast to FIAT-Bursa, FIAT-Córdoba managers were caught under the fire as the federal and local governments engaged in a prolonged conflict over the issue of economic reforms. During this fight, local politicians lacked resources to effectively finance the proposed changes in vocational schools, and the federal government intervened to push forward a new training agenda. However, the resulting arrangements were far from consolidating a frictionless worker commitment to new production principles, and prolonged instances of shopfloor conflict characterized the industrial relations in this environment.]
