Contemporary Organization and Michel Foucault's Enhanced Panopticon Model

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
since the advent of the information age, there have been new positions rendered that only slightly resemble earlier paradigms that emanated from the industrial revolution. Since that early time,  when factory work was paramount, people began to become more and more entrenched in the business and less hands on work had to be done.

Foucault drew on Benthams old model of the Panopticon, or of  how prisons should function, and there is oddly some resemblance from that controversial overview and the reality of the modern organization.

It was never meant to be anything else, but as one combs through the  literature, one sees that such principles had been applied to other endeavors.
