Magang Constitution

The Magang Constitution[2] (simplified Chinese: 马钢宪法; traditional Chinese: 馬鋼憲法; pinyin: Mǎ gāng xiànfǎ), also known as Ma-steel Constitution,[3] was a set of enterprise management system that was gradually formed in the Former Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s after decades of socialist industrial construction and development.[4] Nowadays, it has been abandoned.

It is worth noting that "Magang Constitution" is a vivid metaphor, it is not really a constitution in the true sense of the term (like China's "Angang Constitution"). [5] It is a complete set of rules and regulations for factory management, even rising to the height of the law.[6]

Magang Constitution is not the fundamental law of the FSU, nor the most basic law of the country. In addition, the name "Magang Constitution" was not named by the Soviets, but by the Chinese.[7]

Paraphrase

Magang Constitution was a complete set of factory management practices implemented by the socialist enterprises represented by Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, the largest steel complex in the FSU.[8] It was based on "experts governing the factories", meaning the affirmation of experts and authority.[9] This set of corporate management system was born in the Stalin-era.[2]

Main content

Magang Constitution was actually developed from the Taylor System and the Ford System.[10] The main content of the Magang Constitution included the implementation of the "one director system" (一长制), [11] "material stimulation" (物质刺激), "experts governing the factories" (专家治厂), and "placing technology in command" (技术挂帅).[12]
