本文以台商鴻海富士康集團位在深圳的工廠為例,說明近年來中國世界工廠的生產體制特徵。我們認為富士康深圳的工廠具有下列三種組織特徵:(1) 內部全球化:以富士康和電子業龍頭蘋果的合作為例,試著說明上游品牌商如何干預企業的生產過程(2) 組織碎裂化:其公司治理採取事業群高度自治,導致企業組織內部嚴重縱向分裂,以及台灣與中國大陸、甚至其他不同國籍員工之間,出現族群隔離所造成的橫向分裂; (3) 專制化:中國籍員工,車間作業員權威式的管理;為了滿足客戶,過於細緻的製程,逼使員工更加原子化,再加上國族隔離,員工不易對企業產生志願性服從。台灣籍員工大多數是在物質的誘因下派駐中國,而非甘願於企業。綜上所述,我們將富士康集團所建立的世界工廠體制,稱為全球碎裂化的專制主義。這個生產體制的概念,有助於我們解釋鴻海集 團所面對的企業困境,與富士康員工自殺事件的發生經過。
In this article I describe some special characteristics of the world’s greatest factory (in terms of the number of employees) belonging to the Taiwanese enterprise, Foxccon group in Shenzhen, China. I argue that the factory regime was shaped by three key elements: (1) internal globalization: take the cooperative partnership between Foxconn and Apple for example, trying to illustrate the global brand-name’s authority and interventions of production process inside the factory; (2) organizational fragmentation: the fragmented structure of corporate governance, that is, the vertical fraction of business groups (BGs) and the horizontal segmentation of employees belonging to different nationalities. The fragmentation led to the strong autonomy of BGs and incomplete information between BGs; and, (3) the despotic regime: for Chinese workers,the authoritized managerial power on the shop-floor. Refining the production process to meet demand of the customers make workers more atomization. Also the national segregation. It’s hard to manufacter consent for workers to the enterprise. For Taiwan workers, they do work in China because much pay rather than be loyalty to the enterprise. According to the three elements, we name the factory regime as a “global fragmented despotism.” The organizational structure of world factory may be helpful for explaining Foxccon’s poor labor conditions and workers’ suicides happened in 2010.
