- catalog abstract ""When economists claim that rules are co-ordinating devices, they do not explain how they operate within organizations. Their most important characteristic being their remoteness from the solution, rules do not dictate behaviour. Rather they are frameworks for action requiring constant interpretation. This book is grounded on Wittgenstein's understanding of rules as having significance only in the course of their application." "It analyses two kinds of rules - macroeconomic and microeconomic - through detailed case studies of wage indexation and labour productivity. The former are examined by taking the case of wage disindexation in France, from 1983 onwards, in order to show that it is possible to link the interpretative dimension of rules with the need to make them operating rules. The latter are examined through a study of the implementation of a team productivity bonus in a maintenance workshop of the Paris Metro, its effects on the relationship between operatives and the existing set of operating rules on the bonus-maximizing strategies the teams adopted and, finally, on labour productivity."--Jacket.".
