Resumo: The main purpose of this pro ject is to describe the organization of work, production techniques and working conditions at a Swedish enterprise in Brazil; the views about these condi tions among actors sue h as management, em- ployees and the union; and the process of ad justment of the Swedish enterprise to local conditions, against the background of Swedish "industrial culture". The following aspects will be included in our description of the views held by actors with reyard to organization of work, production techniques and working conditions: (a how management evaluates and explains its praxis; (b) how the union views the praxis of management in these questions; (c) how they view re- lationships between union and management; (d) the views of the employees on these questions as these views relate to their background, their function in the labour process and their attitudes. Both qualitative and quantitative tech- niques of data collection and analysis will be used (secondary data, survey, interviews of management and union, observation). This study is the Brazilian part of a more comprehensive study of one company industrially active in Sweden as we Ll as in Brazil (Saab-Scania at Sao Bernardo and Sodertalje).
