Rethinking Work - Time, Space And Discourse

This book is an innovative reconsideration of a changing and contested domain in society. New essays from scholars at the University of Sydney are structured around the themes of time, space and discourse to highlight the value-laden and constructed nature of these categories as they are applied to the organisation of our working lives. Contributors draw from their expertise in strategic management, organisational theory, labour and business history, law, economics, industrial relations, human resource management, geography, and discourse and narrative analysis. Their stimulating chapters in 'Rethinking Work' reflect that the study of work must itself be capable of adaptation to the profound changes reshaping this most powerful expression of human relationships and experience
