Supervision — A Key Resource in Modern Manufacturing

Abstract

Manufacturing has changed considerably in Britain in the last several years. There have been changes in management style, in particular from the authoritarian style traditional in Britain to more participative, open styles which emphasize communication upwards, as well as from the top of the hierarchy downwards. Senior managers now try to be more responsive to ideas from more junior management, supervisors and the shopfloor, although the industrial relations climate has changed eroding the influence of workers on output.
