✦ Synopsis

In autumn 1992 the board of the Volvo concern decided to close down the plants at Kalmar and Uddevalla, the plants that for a long time had reputed Volvo to develop a new Swedish form of work organization within car industry. In this article I analyze the plant closing by the theory of dual industrial structures. I find this theory valuable. It provides a complementary sociological approach to the discussion. I point to the importance of the negotiations going on, at the time, of an amalgamation of Volvo and Renault, as well as of the corporate tradition of Renault, characterized by a Fordistic concept of production.
