The book explores the micro-economic reforms implemented at the Williamstown Naval Dockyard, once notorious for inefficiency and unrest. It highlights the deregulation of the labor market as a key strategy to improve work practices and performance. By documenting the dockyard's transformation following its sale as the first public utility in 1988, the research emphasizes the importance of integrating diverse work patterns, strong management commitment, and a revamped industrial relations framework to enhance organizational effectiveness.
