Abstract: Abstract Industrialization refers to the course of transition from a preceding dominantly agricultural society towards an industrial one. In the course of this transition large-scale industry becomes the most characteristic form of production, a form in which the simplification of work to make it better manageable (rationalization), the replacement of manual labour by that of machines (mechanization) and the shift of control, correction and feedback activities from peoples to machines (automation) become increasingly important. Rationalization, mechanization and automation usually go hand in hand with the concentration of labour in larger working units. Concurrent with the shift from agriculture towards large-scale industry, far-reaching changes take place in almost all other spheres of life (Lapperre, 1992).
