ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explains the literature on organizations and working life in general it may be used to describe virtually anything: the quality of the labour market, the character of the organization, technological properties, the capacity and the competence of the workers, the functioning of the wage system, the quality of the marketing system, the production and planning system, and so on. In the meantime, disciplinary constraints seem to be on the offensive compared to autonomous commitment as a strategy for developing flexible operations. Helge Ramsdal is linked to the alleged globalization affecting the world economy, and as such it may be interpreted as a part of the neo-liberal turn which has swept over most of the world during the past two or three decades.
