Book excerpt: The reprint of Henri Savall’s classic Work and People, originally published in French in 1974, is part of the Research in Management Consulting series effort to look backward as well as forward in examining trends, perspectives, and insights – especially from different countries and cultures – into the world of management consulting. Savall’s insights into the complexity of organizational life were groundbreaking, articulating the need to examine both economic and social factors as part of the same analysis, assessing technical and behavioral patterns through the lens of an integrated framework. As he has argued, there is a double-loop interaction between “the quality of functioning and economic performance,” and underestimating this socio-economic “tension” leads inevitably to reduced performance and losses, which he refers to as “hidden costs.” This approach, referred to as the socio-economic approach to management (SEAM), has significant potential for our thinking about organizational diagnosis and intervention. As Savall emphasizes, the North American tendency to cast people as human “resources” misses the essential point that human beings cannot be considered as simply another resource at the organization’s disposal. People are free to give or withhold their energy as they desire, depending on the quality of formal and informal contracts and interactions they have with their organizations. As such, the SEAM approach focuses on human “potential,” underscoring the need for managers and their organizations to create the conditions under which people will want to maximize their talents on behalf of the organization. Work and People focuses on the ramifications of this reality, as dysfunctions – the difference between planned and emergent activities and functions – can quickly lead to a series of costs that are “hidden” from an organization’s formal information systems (e.g., income statements, balance sheets, budgets). As his insightful work underscores, as organizations begin to accumulate dysfunction upon dysfunction, they inadvertently undermine their performance and create excessive operating costs, with lower productivity and less efficiency than they could achieve. As readers will discover, the frameworks, tools and ways of thinking about organizations, people and management in this volume – in essence the background to the socio-economic approach to organizational diagnosis and intervention – continue to hold great promise for our attempts to create truly integrative approaches to management and organizational improvement efforts.

Book excerpt: Qu'est-ce que l'industrialisation L'ère de transformation sociale et économique qui se produit lors de la transition d'un groupe humain d'une civilisation agricole à une société industrielle est appelée industrialisation en au Royaume-Uni (UK) ou à l'industrialisation aux États-Unis (US). Pour ce faire, une réorganisation significative d’une économie peut être réalisée dans le but de produire.

À la lumière de l'accent croissant mis sur des pratiques de politique industrielle respectueuses de l'environnement et sur le développement durable, le processus d'industrialisation inclut de plus en plus un saut technologique, qui implique des investissements directs dans des technologies plus sophistiquées et plus respectueuses de l'environnement.

Download or read book European Yearbook Annuaire Europeen 1975 written by Council of Europe/Conseil de L'Europe and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 1977-10-01 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "European Yearbook" promotes the scientific study of nineteen European supranational organisations and the OECD. The series offers a detailed survey of the history, structure and yearly activities of each organisation and an up-to-date overview of the member states of each organisation. This special anniversary volume celebrates 60 years of publication of the Yearbook, and its contents differs from that of the regular volumes therefore. It offers a selection of the most important articles, dealing with European cooperation and integration, to appear in the Yearbook during its 60 years of publication. These are of particular interest not only because they provide a unique historical snapshot of the many successes (and occasional failures) in the field of European integration but also because they discuss the ideals and aims that lay behind these efforts, many of which still resonate today as Europe confronts questions about its political destiny and ideal shape. This volume contains articles in English and French."
Download or read book Technical Workers in an Advanced Society written by Stephen Crawford and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989-09-29 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this book examines the work, careers and politics of French engineers and technical workers employed in traditional and high-technology settings. In the process, it critically evaluates several theories of social change and advocates a unique approach to class theory and the comparative analysis of nations. Neither owners of productive property nor wage workers performing routinised labour. Engineers occupy an ambiguous social position that has elicited a good deal of controversy about trends in their situation and ideology. Where theories of professionalism anticipate occupationally based challenges to the legitimacy of bureaucratic authority, Marxian and neo-Marxian analyses foresee class-based opposition to capitalism. Yet all these theories share a preoccupation with the effects of technology and the division of labour on social values and group identities. This book maintains that such a preoccupation obscures the significance of career situations and the distinctively national institutions that shape them. The book presents a fresh view of the interplay of occupation, class and nation.

Book excerpt: Près de vingt ans après le début du xxie siècle, l’on peut s’interroger sur les profondes mutations du monde du travail apportées avec le développement exponentiel des technologies numériques. Comment le salarié se retrouve-t-il dans ce nouveau contexte et quelle est son implication ? Comment se sent-il et l’entreprise lui apporte-t-elle tout le soutien dont il a besoin ? Car le malaise est réel au point que de nombreuses maladies dues notamment au stress se sont récemment multipliées. L’État a également sa part de responsabilité car, dans son programme de « Transition numérique », il ne s’est soucié que d’accompagner les entreprises, et non les salariés. Ceux-ci se retrouvent donc seuls non seulement pour accomplir leurs diverses missions mais également pour anticiper l’avenir en proposant sans cesse de nouveaux projets. L’argent et le profit sont rois, au détriment de l’utilité de l’individu. Dès lors, comment redonner du sens à sa tâche, retrouver la valeur du travail en équipe, rétablir une communication plus juste et, surtout, plus humaine ?
