"Uberization," "digitalization," "platform economy," "gig economy,"
and "sharing economy" are some of the buzzwords that characterize
the current intense discussions about the development of the
economy and work around the world, among both experts and
laypersons. Immense changes in the ways goods are manufactured,
business is done, work tasks are performed, education is
accomplished, and so on, are clearly underway. This also means that
demand for careful, first-rate social scientific analyses of the
phenomena in question is rapidly growing. This edited volume
gathers distinguished researchers from economics, business studies,
organization studies, medicine, social psychology, occupational
health, pedagogics, and sociology to put particular work in both
public and private sectors and education in both academic and
vocational settings at the focus of the emerging digitalized
platform economy. The authors anchor their analyses and conceptual
and theoretical work in distinctive empirical developments that are
taking place in one of the leading countries of digitalization
processes: Finland. Finnish case studies reflect general global
developments and show their particular, context-related
actualization in multiple ways. This double exposure enables the
authors of this multi- and interdisciplinary volume to advance
conceptualization and theorization of the key phenomena in
digitalizing platform societies in novel, creative, and
groundbreaking directions. This book will without doubt be of great
value to academic researchers and students in the fields of
economics, business studies, work studies, social sciences,
education, technology, digitalization, platforms, occupational
health, entrepreneurship, and professions.
