9780043370087: Technology and the Labour Process: Australasian Case Studies

Synopsis

Work is not a static phenomenon, but undergoes constant change and there have been several changes in the nature of work and its organization since the 1940s. "Technology and the Labour Process" argues that what have become known as the "labour process debates" have rejuvenated the study of work and become an area of intellectual debate and research. Researchers in the field in Australia and New Zealand have contributed historically-grounded case studies demonstrating how labour process theory is being utilized to research the contemporary organization of work, particularly the process of technological innnovation. They argue for the utility of such an approach and aim to provide an understanding of these debates. The book should be useful to students of sociology, industrial relations, labour history and management studies.
