"Contemporary changes in patterns of work and management are alleged to have given rise to the post-modern organisation and the diminishing importance of traditional bureaucracy. This paper is concerned with the changing nature of labour control in new 'multi-enterprise' settings in the international automotive sector. Rather than eliminating bureaucracy, the tools of industrial bureaucracy are becoming more sophisticated."
