Abstract: Abstract The transformations of work, which are at the very heart of the new and emerging ‘combinatoire productive’ introduced in Chapter 1, revolve around three essential components that together make up a single system: tight flow, teamwork and the ‘competency model’ — this last being one of the linchpins for the mobilization of the workforce. In effect, while the capitalist wage system meant the buying of employee time by the employer, the contract said nothing regarding working conditions or workload (except in the case of piecework systems). Consequently, the efficiency of the enterprise, according to the theory, required that work contracts be completed by the addition of a clause regarding the involvement and motivation of employees.
