E-raamat: Foucault, Governmentality, and Organization: Inside the Factory of the Future [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

"This book traces how abstract managerial ideas about maximizing production flexibility and employee freedom were translated into concrete, day-to-day practices at the Motorola plant in East Kilbride, UK. Using eyewitness accounts, the book describes howemployees dealt with the increased freedom Motorola promoted amongst its employees, how employees adapted to managerial changes, specifically the elimination of large-scale management, and where the 'managerless' system came under strain. This book will be of essential reading for researchers, graduate students, and undergraduates interested in the areas of management studies, human resource management, and organizational studies, among others"--

At the Motorola plant in Easter Inch, UK, management implemented some radical changes based on ideas of maximizing production flexibility and employee freedom. This study examines the day-to-day results using eyewitness accounts and the lens of Michael Foucault's ideas about governing, knowledge, the practices of power, and historical roots of misperceptions.
