Question
Explain complex division of labour with the help of an example.
Solution
Complex division of labour involves breaking down the total work into numerous small steps or processes, with each specialized function performed by individuals or groups. This type of division of labour is classified into two categories:
- Complete Process of Complex Division of Labour - Work is divided into parts and sub-processes, ensuring each part yields a commodity in a complete form for the next stage. For instance, in a cotton mill, spinning, weaving, sizing, bleaching, etc., are done by different processes, resulting in a fully finished cloth.
- Incomplete Process of Complex Division of Labour - Here, work is divided into processes, producing only a part or component of a commodity at each stage. An example is the production of different parts of an automobile, which become a complete car when assembled.
