The Tempering of the “Fića”: Yugoslav Workers and the Italian Technology in the Crvena zastava Factory, 1955–1962
Marko Miljković
Sažetak
This article presents an analysis of the initial period of the development of modern automobile industry in Yugoslavia (1955–1962), based on a case study of the Crvena zastava automobile factory. Analyzing different aspects of the cooperation between the Crvena zastava factory and the Italian FIAT on this project, this paper focuses on the problems in the transfer and adoption of modern Italian technology into the Yugoslav system of workers’ self-management of the factories. One part of the analysis deals with the results that this process had on the creation of the specific Yugoslav model of industrial production, which was a combination of socialist and capitalist production practices. Finally, as the most visible result of the development of this hybrid model of industrial production, “fića” is seen as a symbol of success of the process of rapid industrialization of Yugoslavia after the Second World War, and of the process of creation of the Yugoslav working class.
