What's happening to work?
Andrew Bibby writes:
I have a long-standing professional and personal interest in the effects of technological change on work organisation and management and in particular in the issue of telework. I try to make as much of my material available here as possible.
The extended essay Negotiating the New Economy: the Effect of ICT on Industrial Relations was contributed as a background paper to the ILOs World Employment Report 2001. (For the complete World Employment Report, see www.ilo.org).
The booklet Working Anywhere, published by the UK government's Department of
Trade and Industry, has useful case studies and practical information for
British readers (2nd ed, 2000). The text is available here. Note: this file is 750 Kb in size and may be slow to download.
