Description for Beyond Taylorism
Hardback. Based on a case study of workers in a US defence plant, this book explores two major contemporary changes in corporate reorganization strategies: the impact of computerization on skills and production; and the role of quality circles in the reorganization of bureaucratic decision-making. Num Pages: 244 pages, biography. BIC Classification: JHBL; KJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 24. Weight in Grams: 586.
This book explores two major contemporary changes in the workplace: the impact of computerization on skills and the organization of production; and the role of quality circles in the 'democratization' of the workplace and the reorganization of bureaucratic decision-making. It is concerned with the labour processes which experience deskilling, reskilling and shifts in the lines of demarcation between occupations. Participation in quality circles raises issues of conflict rather than labour-management cooperation and management's attempt to undermine collective bargaining agreements.
