Worker Self-Management

"Worker self-management (WSM) is the idea that those who produce should control their workplaces. It is based upon the premise that hierarchical forms of MANAGEMENT and organization are unnecessary, undesirable, and can be replaced by DEMOCRATIC forms of decision making.” Extract from The Dictionary of Alternatives, Utopianism and Organization, Martin Parker, Valérie Fournier, and Patrick Reedy, Zed Books, USA, 2007.
