Förlagets beskrivning
Authority and Control in Modern Industry examines processes by which
technological change has been assimilated into capitalist workplaces since the
Industrial Revolution. Contributors present theoretical propositions, drawing
arguments from neo-classical, Marxist, evolutionary and transaction cost
economics, the sociology of Anthony Giddens and Max Weber, and network
analysis. These are coupled with historical case studies, including: * the
growth of the factory system during the industrial revolution in Britain * the
German chemical industry and German family firms before World War I * the
American automobile industry in the interwar period * agricultural labour in
the American South after World War II * the recent relationship between US
medical specialists and hospitals.L This volume demonstrates the value of
analysing worker deployment in modern capitalist firms as an interactive and
iterative process involving both management and labour. Authority and Control
in Modern Industry offers a rare breadth of analysis through the juxtaposition
of sociological, economic and historical approaches and in the variety of
ideological viewpoints represented. This work will become essential reading for researchers in organisational
behaviour, labour economics, economic history and labour history. Lee J Alston,
University of Illinois, USA, S R H Jones, University of Dundee, UK Sachio Kaku,

issue of organization and authority in the modern corporation and includes
contributions from scholars in the US, Germany and Japan.
