Analysis of internal flexibility and collective bargaining from the perspective of international scientific management

Abstract

In this paper we present the results obtained through Web of Science from the perspective of Scientific Management for the topics of Internal Flexibility and Collective Bargaining Agreement, both individually and jointly. The works on Internal Flexibility belong mostly to the category of Management, followed by Business and Industrial Engineering, this topic being the most studied in the last decade. USA with 157 Papers represents the favoured country for researchers. Regarding the Collective Bargaining Agreement, most of the papers belong to the category of Industrial Relations Labor, with Marginson, a prolific author in this area. The University of London with 54 Papers shows a strong impact in this thematic. The international documentation of Web of Science for the joint search of the thematic Internal Flexibility and Collective Bargaining Agreement yields a result of 16 papers highlighting the one by Marginson and Galetto (2016) on flexicurity. We can affirm the strength and validity of the topics, in addition to being areas of knowledge in continuous evolution and with great dynamism in the academic world.
