Does Scandanavia or even Europe have anything
to teach us (U.S.A., esp.) about these things?
What about Norway?
I still remember my IBM manager who, when I enthusiastically
spoke to him -- it was probably about Pelle Ehn's book
_The Work-Oriented Design of Computer Artefacts_, or it may
have been about a film about worker participation in
workplace management --, he
replied: "Oh! That's the Scandanavian model" -- i.e.,
an of a not just irrelevant,
but long-since known to everyone to be
embarrassingly outmoded approach.
