Description: Beyond Taylorism by Lorraine Giordano This book explores two 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. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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 managements attempt to undermine collective bargaining agreements.
