| Summary |
"This book challenges many popular myths that limit how we think about the future of work. Grounded in a geographically global focus, Rethinking the Future of Work provides not only a critical overview of the array of competing visions but also a radical rethink about the direction of change. The result is to transcend the conventional narratives and open up the future of work to new possibilities." "This critical appreciation of the host of competing perspectives on the future of work will be essential reading for students of management and business studies, especially in human resource management and organization studies, as well as social scientists more generally."--BOOK JACKET |
