Abstract

Advancements in production technologies not only enabled increased productivity and efficiency but also facilitated better control over production process and workers. The present paper attempts to study the impact of plant biotechnological interventions vis-Ã -vis control over production process and workers in the plant tissue culture industrial units engaged in the production of horticultural plantlets. In a comparative study of six plant tissue culture industries and conventional nurseries it was observed that plant tissue culture technology facilitates better control over work through scheduling of tasks and regimentation of work. Routinization of work process helped the managers to close supervision and evaluation of workers' performance.
