  • Yugoslav self-management : the world's largest experiment in work teams
    Lynn, Monty L. ; Mulej, Matjaž ; Jurše, Karin
    Under Josip Tito's leadership (1945-1980), Yugoslavia broke away from Stalin in 1948 and developed the world's largest experiment in work teams, called self-management. Its focus was not on ... incremental innovation a la Japanese total quality management, nor on production as in North American quality of work life initiatives, but on leadership issues. Workers were supposed to replace owners and state bureaucracy did not trust workers' capabilities and did not want to give up their own authority. The result was that two critical elements of self-management responsibility and vision were undermined rather than developed. A state-supported neo-Taylorism with a "thinking tank" and a separate "working tank" evolved which represented little responsibility behind a facade of self-management. By the 1980s, worker councils had become a formality rather than real, professional leadership within Yugoslav firms.
