In USA the huge growth, and culture shock of the workforce, had created dangerous social pressure that questioned the legitimacy of managerial power, and even of the capitalist…

killing off some of the red-tape that may have existed and contributed to the underperformance. This was inferred to in the article when the authors mentioned, “the people who knew the most about operations were responsible to run them.” By removing bureaucracy, a company allows ideas to flow more quickly and with less chance of petering out along the way.

Boltho, A & Weber, M (2009) suggests a proper macroeconomic policy framework needs efficient bureaucracy that is not prey to political interest or tainted by corruption.

The social construct of respectability in contemporary America is one that is focused on the increased value of time. As long-term growth and achievement take a back seat to short-term returns in the new capitalism, time becomes more valuable. Consequently, organizations have adapted and stability for workers has diminished. Relationships between employees and the companies that employ them have shifted from one that is based on mutual respect through mutual dependency to one in which past…
