Mass Production and the U.S. Tire Industry
通过1910-1930年美国轮胎工业的历史,检验了钱德勒与布雷弗曼关于大规模生产对工人技能和控制影响的不同理论,发现钱德勒的分析更适用。
The study of mass production has been strongly influenced in recent years by two dissimilar bodies of work—that of Alfred D. Chandler and that of Harry Braverman and others who argue that mass production helped managers “deskill” and “control” industrial workers. The history of the U.S. tire industry between 1910 and 1930 underlines the value of Chandler's analysis and the limited applicability of the deskilling and control hypotheses.
