Interrogating the New Economy : Restructuring Work in the 21st Century, Paperback / softback Book

Interrogating the New Economy : Restructuring Work in the 21st Century Paperback / softback

Edited by Norene Pupo, Mark P. Thomas

Paperback / softback

Description

This collection of original essays investigates the social, political, and economic transformations associated with the emergence of the so-called new economy, and their impact on the organization of work within Canada.

Essays in the book discuss the ways in which new management strategies, new communication technologies, and efforts to revitalize the labour movement have transformed the Canadian workplace.

Focusing on changes in work organization, individuals' expectations regarding work, and the institutional support provided for workers and their families, the text constructs a critical analysis of the "new economy" in order to identify both the potential for quality work experiences and the ways in which the organization of work remains a profound social problem.
