Description

Explore the evolution of modern workplace dynamics in Foucault, Governmentality, and Organization: Inside the Factory of the Future. This academic work from Routledge examines how abstract managerial concepts regarding production flexibility and employee freedom transformed into daily practices at the Motorola plant in East Kilbride, UK. Through the use of eyewitness accounts, the text provides a detailed look at how workers navigated increased autonomy and adapted to significant managerial shifts. It specifically analyzes the impact of eliminating large-scale management and identifies the specific areas where managerless systems faced strain. This book serves as a vital resource for those studying the practical application of organizational theory. It is designed for researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates seeking a deep understanding of employment relations and the sociological impact of changing management structures in a real-world industrial setting.
