Analysts are generally agreed - dramatic changes are unfolding in
the character of work, managerial authority, and the employment
relationship. However, there is little agreement as to precisely
how such changes are reshaping people's working lives, the nature
of their careers, and the distribution of opportunity among members
of different classes, genders, and ethnic groups. Confronting these
issues head on, this text focuses on a series of critical questions
concerned with the restructuring of work under capitalism at the
beginning of the 21st century. The papers collected here address a
wide array of workplace settings, from traditional manufacturing
settings to "knowledge work" in high tech and university contexts.
The volume devotes attention to the impact of production concepts
in various national settings, ranging from Germany to Mexico and
Australia. Among other themes, the volume also examines the linkage
between gender inequality and efforts to establish innovative,
"flexible" forms of work organization.
