Providing detailed insights into working life, McCabe, a well known
author in the fields of organization studies, labour process theory
and critical management studies offers a distinctive approach to
innovation in the work place. In this ethnography of a major US
bank he argues that many innovations associated with the 'new'
corporation seem to reproduce many of the conditions that we
associate with the industrial age such as hierarchy, the division
of labour, task specialization and command and control approaches
to management. Through exploring strategy, technology, teamwork and
culture change programmes in a contemporary organization, McCabe
demonstrates the debilitating consequences of these interventions.
This book explores a range of questions, including: Do employees
who are treated as machines become machines? How do they cope with
work that regards them as less than human? Do managers dream of
electric staff? What are the consequences of such thinking and are
there alternative ways to organize work in the twenty- first
Century? Accessible to numerous levels: undergraduate, MA and MBA,
this book is an excellent resource for those studying business and
management, organization studies, sociology of work, employee
relations, psychology of work and strategy.
