Abstract

This article analyses the strategic construction of a factory management regime as an instrument of local value extraction, set against an intensely competitive global value chain in the apparel sector. The article focuses on Bangladesh where, as elsewhere, work in ready-made garment factories is characterised by long hours, poor pay, hostility to freedom of association and the suppression of independent collective bargaining. This article presents a long-term study of the ways that managers who preside over such environments are identified, recruited and deployed. In the context of the global value chain in garments, this article shines a light on managerial regimes which squeeze labour and perpetuate inequality as part of extracting value at workplace level, in the context of a broader, internationally dispersed, industrial regime of exploitation.

在全球背景下创建本地管理制度:孟加拉国成衣业案例
本文分析了在服装行业竞争激烈的全球价值链背景下,工厂管理制度作为当地价值榨取工具的战略构建。文章以孟加拉国为研究对象,与其他地方一样,孟加拉国成衣厂的工作特点是工时长、工资低、敌视结社自由、压制独立的集体谈判。本文对在这种环境下工作的管理人员的甄选、招聘和部署方式进行了长期研究。在全球服装价值链的背景下,这篇文章揭示了在更广泛的、国际性的、分散的工业剥削制度下,作为在工作场所榨取价值的一部分,压榨劳动力和延续不平等的管理制度。
