Its author, Nicholas Ridley defeat, a major strike in a nationalised (second son of the 3rd Viscount Ridley, who helped industry was part of the Conservatives’ establish the University of Newcastle in 1963), was preparation for power, and helped win perhaps the most Thatcherite of all of Thatcher’s ministers. He resigned from the Heath government in the defining conflict of the Thatcher 1972 over what he saw as its betrayal, and formed years, writes Dr Martin Farr. the Selsdon Group the following year ‘to influence the Conservative Party, so that it embraces economic and One of the reasons the Conservative Government social policies which extend the boundaries of personal elected in 1979 under Margaret Thatcher was so choice’. It espoused free-market policies, privatisation significant was that it was, as much if not more than of nationalised industries, and cuts in taxation and the Labour Government elected in 1945 under Clement Attlee, the twentieth century British government which ‘we must take every precaution had the clearest sense of what it wanted to do. Which was, in essence, to fragment the legacy of the 1945 possible to strengthen our government. The Conservative Government elected defences against all-out attack’ in 1970 under Edward Heath also had a clear sense of what it wanted to achieve, which was similar, but government spending. -

This study finds that it relied upon, and was reinforced by, the common occupational bonds that members identified with. It concludes that the value of collective identity warrants greater attention in the debate over union renewal alongside theories around mobilisation and organising (Kelly 2018), alliance-building and social movements (Holgate 2014). Sectionalism builds solidarity through the exclusion of others. Occupational identity is vulnerable to technological change. This model neglects institutional and ‘associational’ power, eschewing legal protections in favour of collective bargaining and ignoring alliance-building in favour of sovereign authority. -

Privatisation and Supply Chain Management: on the Effective Alignment of Purchasing and Supply After Privatisation/Andrew Cox, Lisa Harris, and David Parker
Privatisation and Supply Chain Management Privatisation and Supply Chain Management brings together two of the most important issues in current management thinking: the impact of privatisation on the performance and behaviour of the companies involved, and the increasingly important role of purchasing and supplier relationships. The notion that efficiency is improved with privatisation is critically examined, as is the idea that privatised organisations have recognised the importance of the procurement role and developed both their procurement functions and supplier relationships so as to enhance competitiveness. Grounded in economic theory, and providing rich case study material, this volume makes a major contribution to an increasingly important area. It will be of interest to students and researchers in economics, business and management studies and specialist courses in procurement management. Andrew Cox is Professor of Strategic Procurement Management and Director of the Centre for Strategic Procurement Management at Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham, UK. Lisa Harris works in supply management for the BMW/Rover Group. David Parker is Professor of Business Economics and Strategy and Head of the Strategic Management Group at the Aston Business School, Aston University, Birmingham, UK.

One of the most notable high points of struggle was the 1972 miners’ strike for higher wages, which delivered the miners their ‘greatest victory’ (Hall, 1981) and inflicted a devastating defeat on the Conservative government headed by Edward Heath. The strike, with its mass pickets, provided a vivid illustration of the power and confidence of shopfloor union organization that had been built up in the post-war period (Darlington and Lyddon, 2001; Lyddon and Darlington, 2003). Although the miners won another victory in 1974, culminating in a general election that brought down the Heath government, this strike was altogether a much more passive dispute compared with 1972, with a tight control on picketing under TUC-supported guidelines of only six pickets imposed by the NUM executive. A much more marked contrast occurred with the 1984-5 miners’ strike, which took place against the backcloth of a deep economic recession, an avalanche of redundancies and closures, and a neo-liberal Conservative government headed by Margaret Thatcher that displayed its resolve to fight with and beat any trade-union (the ‘enemy within’) that sought to challenge its authority. -
