摘要:The authors discuss the main sociological aspects of introduction of group production in industry. The authors also analyse numerous examples of the introduction of group production which in great determine the possible innovations of new group production. In the second part of the article the authors give the basic results of the complex socio-technical experiment of the introduction of group production in one Yugoslav factory. Preliminary results of the sociological investigation show that the introduction of group production did not bring many changes, but some minor ones are registered. The authors emphasize the minute changes which were only slightly introduced on the institutional level as the main obstacle to the more fruitful results after the introduction of group production.
