Rethinking Work is an innovative reconsideration of a changing and highly 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, discourse and narrative analysis, organizational theory, industrial relations, labour and business history, geography and human resource management.
