Known as the
“The dynamic model of the systemic paradigm”.
It is the refinement of Dunlop’s analytical framework. Blain and Gennard developed it in 1970. They
expressed the industrial relations system algebraically as shown below:
IR = f (a, t, e, s, i)
a = the actors
t = the technical context of the work place.
e = economic or the market/budgetary constraint
s = the power context and the status of the parties
i = the ideology of the system.
