"Flexibility allows the managers to meet the needs of the organisation and constantly adjust to global and local demands through coordination and allocation of the organisation's resources"
One of the important ideas in this artefact that helps in my research is the comparative analysis of macro flexible organisations like corporations and their correlation in defining the body politics of the workers and his labour through a similar analogy of the flexible body. The labour process theory by Harry Braverman explains the importance of the body in the realm of skills. The deskilling process and mechanization of the body are two major concepts related to the Marxist idea of alienation and Foucauldian idea of biopolitics. This concepts, in turn, is very much helpful in the context of what Emily Martin argues as a flexible body. one of the important observation made by the author is flexibility is a desirable feature in a post-industrial society, but an imposed ideology of flexibility on the body and its understanding is only profitable for corporations and their creation called flexible specialization of the economy.
