Miguel Martinez Lucio
Miguel Martinez Lucio is Professor of Employment Relations at Manchester Business School, University of Manchester. His research is concerned with rights and regulations in human resource management and employment relations. He has undertaken extensive research for a variety of organisations, including UNISON, UNITE, the DTI, the TUC and the British Council. Miguel has an extensive publication record including many books, journal articles and published reports.
Much of this work has a comparative and international perspective. Firstly, he has researched the changing identity and structures of industrial relations and human resource management, e.g. the impact of new forms of management and workplace organisation on workers and unions, the emergence of new frameworks of firm-based regulation such as social partnership, the impact of organisational practices such as quality management and teamworking, and the globalisation of industrial relations and human resource management (some of this work has been financed by the Anglo German Foundation, MSF, UNITE, the DTI, the TUC, UNISON, and the British Council). Secondly, he has led and participated in a range of research projects regarding the impact of deregulation, privatisation and marketisation in terms of work, employment and management in the public sector and privatised industries across various countries (financed by the ESRC and the Leverhulme Trust). He works in an individual capacity and with colleagues at various institutions in the UK, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and the USA.
