Technocracy and the transformation of organizational control

Organizational control (both the structures and the ideology) subordinates workers. Modern technocracy has called forth new control structures and ideology. These are characterized by (1) polarization into expert and non-expert sectors and the erosion of internal labor markets in favor of external credentialing, (2) flexible configurations of the level of centralization, (3) skill restructuring, (4) the growing importance of expertise rather than rank authority, and (5) technocratic ideology of apolitical decision making. Technocratic control, although highly sophisticated and legitimated, has its own contradictions
