New patterns of work

In this book management journalist and author David Clutterbuck has brought together some graphic accounts of experiments now going on in Britain, Europe and the USA, contributed by the people most closely involved. They reflect many of the developments that will ultimately transform the working lives of millions. This book argues that the world of work is changing. Under the combined onslaught of economic, social, political, technological and psychological forces the familiar structures of employment are crumbling fast. What will emerge eventually is uncertain, but throughout the industrialised societies organisations and individuals are trying out new concepts and methods.
