However, it is not an analysis of workplace sitcoms or quality dramas. Instead, it explores the forgotten history of how American private sector workplaces used television in the twentieth century. It traces how, at the hands of employers, television physically and psychologically managed workers and attempted to make work meaningful under the sign of capitalism. It also shows how the so-called domestic medium helped businesses shape labor relations and information architectures foundational to the twinned rise of the technologically mediated corporation and a globalizing information economy. Among other things, business and industry built extensive private television networks to distribute live and taped programming, leased satellite time for global 'meetings' and program distribution, created complex CCTV data search and retrieval systems, encouraged the use of videotape for worker self-evaluation, used video cassettes for training distributed workforces, and wired cantinas for employee entertainment. 'Television At Work' describes the myriad ways the medium served business' attempts to shape employees' relationships to their labor and the workplace in order to secure industrial efficiency, support corporate expansion, and inculcate preferred ideological orientations."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Television in management $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Industrial television $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Labor $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Industrial management $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 6 $a TeÌleÌvision en gestion $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a TeÌleÌvision industrielle $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 6 $a Travail $z EÌtats-Unis $x Histoire $y 20e sieÌcle. 650 7 $a TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Television & Video. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Industrial management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971246 650 7 $a Industrial television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971778 650 7 $a Labor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989798 650 7 $a Television in management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146903 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214015207.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=23198BC072D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
