Workers Self Management and Organizational Power in Yugoslavia

Edited by Josip Obradovié and William N. Dunn

From the Preface: In constructing a volumeofcollected contributions to theory and research on workers' self-management in Yugoslavia, the authors' primary aim is to introduce English-speaking audiences to a large and informative body of empirical studies available in Yugoslav languages. We wish at the same time to emphasize the practical interdependence and complementarity of empirical and theoretical studies of participation, industrial democracy, and self-management. In stressing the importance of these contributions to the theory and practice of self-management, both in Yugoslavia and other countries, we eventually chose the concept of organizational power as a means to order, link, and interpret the selections in this volume. We hope we have created a product that is reasonably coherent, problem-specific, and grounded in empirical research.
