Gender and the restructuring of high-tech multinational corporations: new twists to an old story
研究了20世纪80年代初美国和日本半导体及计算机跨国公司如何利用苏格兰劳动力市场应对竞争压力，发现性别观念与政府政策共同推动了工作重组和性别替代。
U.S. and Japanese semiconductor and computer multinationals, compelled.to invest in new computerized technologies, tapped specific opportunities in the Scottish labor market to cope with competitive pressures in the early 1980s. Rapid industrial growth and technological demands interacted dynamically with government policy and gender attitudes to create new expectations of work and workers. Gender ascriptions associated with technology and gender relations in both the household and workplace fostered an environment for industry to reorganize work structures, enhancing many jobs, and to substitute men for women in new production jobs.
