SURVIVING JIT: CONTROL AND RESISTANCE IN A JAPANESE TRANSPLANT
基于一家英国日本电子厂的参与观察，研究了准时制和全面质量管理如何强化管理控制，以及工人抵抗如何变得零散和边缘化。
This research considers the process of management control and workers’ actions in a Japanese‐owned consumer electronics plant sited in England. the data are drawn from a period of participant observation which enabled the author to explore, in detail, the style and extent of management control and worker behaviour, and the nature of workplace relations at the plant. the author found that the incorporation of just‐in‐time JIT) and total quality management (TQM) into clearly defined management objectives had allowed a more complete combination of the control of labour with management's economic goals than that apparent under piece rate systems of control. Worker resistance and ‘misbehaviour’ persist, but in ways which are increasingly fragmentary and marginal.
