Technology and Industrial Democracy An inquiry into some theoretical issues and their social basis
从社会技术理论和马克思主义劳动过程两种视角，探讨技术对产业民主的可能影响，并分析不同理论框架如何导致对同一问题的不同理解及其社会根源。
The issue of the possible impact of technology on industrial democracy is explored theoretically, using two different approaches — sociotechnical theory and the Marxist labour-process approach. Within each of these approaches, a model of the interaction between technology and democratization is developed to illustrate how different theoretical conceptions produce different problematics and expose a seemingly similar issue in nearly non-comparable ways. The social basis of these differences is also discussed, and the necessity of further theoretical work is argued.
