Work-force cutback decisions of Israeli managers: a test of a strategic model
Article Abstract:
A survey of Israeli managers involved in making layoffs in the electronics industry indicates that their decisions are not in line with the model of making layoffs which was developed by Greenhalgh, Lawrence and Sutton, the GLS model. Israel and the electronics sector were used for the survey because around 33% of electronics companies in Israel have US parent companies, the industry is international, and uses the same technology as another plant which was also the subject of a survey relating to the GLS model.
