Ideas
Surveillance and discipline under just-in-time. With Wilkinson, argued from Foucault that just-in-time and total quality regimes delegate tactical responsibility while centralizing strategic control, through peer scrutiny inside cells and the surveillance of management information systems. Caveat: Mainly theoretical; the observations behind it were not read.
In this section, “read” means read by the Organizational Structures series: where a line says a work, or part of one, was not read, the series did not read it.
