Talk:Specialization (functional)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a strange page, methinks. I created it because developmental biology had a link to specialization, which describes a logic concept. If I had just focused on cellular specialization, then it would be a repeat of the page on cellular differentiation, so I decided to use this page to address the similarities between cellular and economic specialization. Maybe this is a bad reason to create a page...

Increasing specialization may also lead to workers with poorer overall skills and a lack of enthusiasm for their work. This viewpoint was later extended and refined by Karl Marx. He described the process as alienation; the workers become more and more specialized and work repetitious and that would eventually lead to a complete alienation.
