different ideas and trends in order to create a single holistic model that synthesised many ideas. This created an advantage in the way it may be used to analysis the
firm and can give a starting point for many examinations. Atkinson argued that firm would look for flexibility; functional, numerical, pay and distancing (Atkinson, 1984). To assess the way
that this could be achieved he looked at the way labour was utilised. The model segments employees into core and peripheral workers, and assumes that creating a core workforce that
is flexible will help to increase efficiency, breaking down the traditional task boundaries that allow labour to be used in a more flexible manner. The core workers were deemed to
be those who were in more secure passions and had a high level of skills, benefiting from frequent training and would make use of the internal labour. When the firm
sought numerical flexibly there would be the use of the peripheral workers; individuals who were seen as possessing lower skill and qualification levels; easier to be recruited on the external
labour market and have a relativity low level of job security. This is labour which may be used and reduced easy, for example used to increase production capacity due to
sudden increases in demand. Croucher and Brewster (1998) argue that this model is one which can be easily applied to a unionised environment where the union members are most likely
to be the core members. However, there are also some problems (disadvantages) with the model, unionized environments are not necessarily seeing increased efficiency and as the flexibility that this model
called for clashed with the union model and may also explain some of the decline in some areas (Ackroyd and Procter, 1998).
