Workplaces of the Future by Paul Thompson
Workplaces of the Future examines change in workplace structures and relations and considers what the contemporary workplace looks like. The book contains a wide range of issues and examples from factory and office, manual and non-manual work, public and private sector that illustrate the nature of the future of work. Contributions are drawn from the key names in this field and include international material.
'Eleven articles on a critically important subject for us all' - Long Range Planning 'Overall, the book achieves its stated aim. It helps to ground us in reality. It does this in a subtle...way, by helping us to understand the present by looking to the future...With its liberal referencing, this book is recommended reading for those who recognise, not only the centrality of work, but also the essential part that work plays in our lives.' - Athol Barrett, Prometheus 'Based on really interesting empirical work - making for good teaching too.' - Dr A.M. Greene, University of Aston
