New computer and communications technologies have acted as the
catalyst for a revolution in the way goods are produced and
services delivered, leading to profound changes in the way work is
organized and the way jobs are designed. This important book
examines the nature, setting and impact of new technologies on
work, organization and management. Conventional debates about new
technology often invoke optimistic visions of enhanced democracy,
rising skills and economic abundance; others predict darker
scenarios such as the destruction of jobs through
labour-eliminating devices. This book proposes an alternative
perspective, arguing that technology can be powerful, but in and of
itself has no independent causal powers. It considers the impact of
new technologies on manufacturing, clerical, administrative and
call centre employment, in both managerial and professional arenas,
and introduces the growing phenomena of telework. The book also
assesses the important political and economic forces that restrict
or facilitate the flow of new technologies on national and global
levels. New Technology @ Work is an illuminating and
thought-provoking text that will prove invaluable to all serious
students of business, management and technology.
