Restructuring Production and Work
Assar Lindbeck ()
and Dennis J. Snower ()
Abstract: The paper analyzes the contemporary organizational
restructuring of production and work and derives some salient implications
for the labor market. The analysis focuses on the switch from occupational
specialization at “Tayloristic” organizations to multi-tasking at
“holistic” organizations. The restructuring process is shown to create
demands for new combinations of skills and thereby resegment” the labor
market, raising the wages and job opportunities of some workers relative to
others.
