Post-Fordism is the name given by some scholars to what they describe as the dominant system of economic production, consumption and associated socio-economic phenomena, in most industrialized countries since the late 20th century. It is contrasted with Fordism, the system formulated in Henry Ford's automotive factories, in which workers work on a production line, performing specialized tasks repetitively. Definitions of the nature and scope of Post-Fordism vary considerably and are a matter of debate among scholars. Post-Fordism is characterized by the following attributes:〔Hall, S. (1988) Brave new world. ''Marxism Today'', October, page 24.〕 *Small-batch production *Economies of scope *Specialized products and jobs *New information technologies *Emphasis on types of consumers in contrast to previous emphasis on social class *The rise of the service and the white-collar worker *The feminization of the work force == Theories == Post-Fordism can be applied in a wider context to describe a whole system of modern social processes. Because Post-Fordism describes the world as it is today, various thinkers have different views of its form and implications. As the theory continues to evolve, it is commonly divided into three schools of thought: the Regulation School, Flexible Specialization, and Neo-Schumpeterianism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Post-Fordism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
