Organizationalism; a brief reminder

Zuer Kritrik | 21.03.2002 17:28

Can the remarkable work by W H Whyte "The Organization Man" (1956) be summed up in a single maxim ? Its the best formulation of what may be termed "Blairism"

Even though Mr Blair may not know it, other, much shrewder people, probably ex-Stalinists in his entourage will.

Essentially it comes down to this:

The Corporate State is where you must believe in the system.
The Organizational State is where the system believes in you...

" The basis of the Social Ethic is not conformity but The Moral Imperative" (Whyte)
