Abstract
The common belief is that institutionalised industrial relations has little relevance for the smaller organisation. This belief is consequent on the ideas that problems in industrial relations occur where communications are poor and that “good communications” are an integral feature of the small firm. The authors base their counter‐argument on a study which examined industrial relations practices in small firms.
