Abstract: Abstract Labour relations under capitalism have been affected by numerous social forces. The formation of labour unions, strikes, mass demonstrations and political unrest, immigration, and prevailing economic conditions have all had an impact on how corporations have responded to demands for change. The emerging bureaucratic reforms in the workplace — which Quality Circles are a part of — are not new. In order to understand the contemporary debate (and its often misplaced emphasis on industrial democracy and work reform), let us examine the historical programmes and bureaucratic changes which were often linked with the notion of democratic industrial reforms.
