Trust and Power on the Shop Floor

Annotation "In his book, Verkerk investigates the shop floor processes of modern factories. Two ethnographical case studies are presented from the perspective of a factory manager. He shows that high-trust and high-power relations between management and employees are the basic conditions for responsible, accountable, and successful organisations. In a philosophical argument, he develops an ethics of responsibility combining the ideas of humanity, trust and power on the shop floor, and the normative development of organisational structures."--BOOK JACKET.
