Although the activities of large industrial and financial
corporations dominate economies around the world, their impact on
the distribution of employment and the use of new production
techniques is much disputed. In this two-volume set, the editors
examine the changes which have taken place in the organization of
work and the nature of employment over the last half century. The
articles selected for these volumes address the issues of work,
skills and employment, with particular focus on the manufacturing
sector, which has seen rapid change in working practices, and on
the expanding service sector, where new kinds of jobs entail
serving customers and working in the money, banking and financial
services, call-centres and the public and government sector. Many
of the studies challenge the utopian view of post-Fordist work
regimes and raise questions about the effectiveness of post-Fordist
concepts in accounting for the variety of changes in the world
economy. In a new introduction, the editors offer a comprehensive
overview and discussion of these concerns.
