"The term Industrial Sociology has an alluring ring. Supported by a generous amount of collectively generated enthusiasm it is not surprising that the field beckons to so many in our fold and attracts a lot on the basis of a species offer of great and easy rewards. The present faddish character of interest in industrial sociology is perhaps inevitable and since we are all human, merits nothing more than mere comment.

The book walks into varied spheres of industrial sociology consisting of industrial sociology, the influences of ethical guidelines, India labour sociology, sociological theory of industrial relations, survey and research of industrial sociology etc. etc." (jacket)
