Chapter 13 in Self-Management in Yugoslavia and the Developing World, 1982, pp 235-258 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Self-management is a system designed to utilize fully the potential of every individual participating in an organization. Its success is then of course contingent upon the extent to which the various individuals possess a potential that could be utilized. We do not intend to dig into that question as a philosophical issue. Suffice it to say that most people have many more useful talents and abilities than managers in industry and administration are aware of. The crucial question is then whether or not the respective cultures permit the members of society to activate their talents and to participate directly in all affairs or whether they relegate the individuals to some very limited function like cogs in a machine.
