Europe chafes at workplace Americanization
Since the Industrial Revolution, every decade has had its unique defining characteristics -- innovation and challenge in the the 1960s, industrial strife in the '70s, the \"enterprise culture\" in the '80s. And the short-term contract culture, with its outsourcing, downsizing and long working hours, defines the 1990s. The characteristics of the '90s are American in origin. And we are beginning to see the Americanization of Europe, starting with Britain and spreading throughout the continent. Britain led the way in Europe toward privatizing the public sector. It downsized its work force substantially and outsourced many of its corporate functions as it left behind the recession in the early '90s faster than its European counterparts.
