Abstract

This chapter summarizes this book and further discusses two important questions: What is the novelty of toleration as a model for a system of industrial governance? Does dependency lead to obedience? As for the first question, the author argues that the tolerance in the Third Line enterprises belongs to the accommodating mode of management, which is different from the suppressive mode and responsive mode discussed in the existing literature. For the second question, the author contends that this question cannot be answered in a general way. Without in-depth knowledge of how the different types of social networks are interwoven in the factory and how the power relations are reconstructed by active agents in the workshop, generalization may risk leading us further from the truth.
