Description |
In 1985, Knuth Dohse, Ulrich Jurgens and Thomas Malsch criticized emerging management theories that attributed Japan's success in automobile production to alternative forms of industrial organization, including worker participation in quality circles. Dohse et al maintained that in Japan worker "participation occurs in a controlled context in which the topics, goals, and forms of articulation are, for practical purposes, limited to company interests. Despite worker participation in intellectual activities, the authors asserted, autowork in Japan retained a Fordist bias with repetitious work routines dictated by mass, assembly-line production.
