New Conditions — New Tasks in Economic Construction
Speech Delivered at a Conference of Business Executives on June 23, 1931.
...the new conditions of development of industry require new methods of work; but some of our economic executives do not understand this and do not see that they must now adopt new methods of management.
That is the reason why certain branches of our industry are lagging behind.
What are these new conditions of development of our industry? How did they arise?
There are at least six such new conditions.
>to recruit manpower in an organised way, by means of contracts with the collective farms, and to mechanise labour.
>to put an end to the fluidity of manpower, to do away with wage equalisation, to organise wages properly and to improve the living conditions of the workers.
>to put an end to lack of personal responsibility, to improve the organisation of work and to secure the proper distribution of forces in our enterprises.
>to see to it that the working class of the U.S.S.R. has its own industrial and technical intelligentsia.
>to change our attitude towards the engineers and technicians of the old school, to show them greater attention and solicitude, to enlist their cooperation more boldly.
>to introduce and reinforce business accounting, to increase accumulation within industry.
