  • Chapter
Workers in Third-World Industrialization

Part of the book series: International Political Economy Series ((IPES))

Abstract

The concept of strategy from which the focus of this volume emanates (and of which it occupies a central part), seems to us to be problematic enough to justify some preliminary epistemological and methodological reflections.

This study summarizes a series of results of surveys carried out by us in the two industrial plants. In the study we used the method of participant observation as well as interviews and documentation — statistical and other — on the work collectives (cf. references).
