| Summary: | "During the last twenty years the world of work has transformed the planet. Labour flexibility and precariousness, the requirement for total quality, the decline of the concept of qualification and its substitution by the notion of 'competency', layoffs in profitable companies, and more worker 'involvement' have all changed our experience of employment." "This book shows how this new model of productivity works and argues that it has a high degree of coherence in terms of the integration of functions within companies. It also addresses the relation between 'just-in-time' teamwork and new ways of employee mobilization which together lead to increased productivity."--BOOK JACKET. |
