Abstract

BIL, Damián Andrés. Labor process in the manufacture of harvesters in Argentina (1920‐1960): the case of Senor company. Trab. soc. [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.105-120. ISSN 1514-6871.

The industry is one of the most studied items on the economic history in Argentina. However, they are few studies on the development of the labor process in the country. Therefore, in this paper we analyze the labor process evolution in the Argentinian combine industry between 1920 and 1960, from the study of the company Senor, based on interviews and information about the firm. To compare their situation with global standards, we also reconstruct the process in the largest firm in the United States (International Harvester Company). We believe that this comparative approach can provide insight into the limits of the competitivene ess of the sector in Argentina and contribute to the debate on the so-called industrialization in the country and the continent.

Keywords : Organization of production (L23); Combines-harvesters industry (L62); Industrial structure Argentina (N16); Skills and labor productivity (J24).
