FIGARI, Claudia. Training of workers and dispute of knowledge in large corporations of the automotive and steel sector: the management pedagogy. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.99-124. ISSN 1514-6871.

This article analyzes the concretization of management prescriptions and their implications in the formation of the workers’ subjectivities in subsidiaries of large automotive and steel companies located in Argentina. The pedagogy of management takes center stage in order to model a subject that adheres to the values of collaboration-with the company- and of corporate citizenship. In the factory scenario the concretization of the global / global framework is promoted from the articulations between the corporate pedagogical agency and the so-called labor competencies. These competences, which express corporate knowledge, interact in the everyday work with the technical expertise that workers have on a daily basis in providing cooperation. Management employs complex real-time "capture" devices for such expertise. This operation enables the enrichment and contributes to consolidate the corporate standardizing andcertifying apparatus. The article emphasizes research findings made in large corporations in the last decade.A qualitative strategy has been used, and observations, visits to plants, individual and group interviews with workers and union delegates have been made. We have produced an important corpus made up of secondary sources, for example sustainability reports produced by the companies (at corporation and subsidiaries levels), collective labor agreements, various materials used for the training of workers.

Keywords : Corporations; Hegemony; Corporate pedagogical agency; Knowledge; Subjectivity; Global / local map.
