Resumen
FIGARI, Claudia Alicia. Technical Expertise as Disputed Field: Strategies for Corporate Control in Argentinian Subsidiaries of Multinational Companies. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2016, n.30, pp.199-223. ISSN 1657-6357.
This paper studies the required knowledge and professional hierarchies assigned to the workers through corporate strategies of social control. It is argued that collaboration on "continuous improvement" and intensification of working pace allow corporate appropriation of technical expertise through "working cells". Corporate strategies unveil fissures that sometimes turn into workers' resistance. We present findings from case studies in tire and automotive sectors. The methodological strategy is qualitative, focused on workers and trade union delegates interviews; sustainability reports and collective labor agreements are also analyzed.
