Review

'At a time when more and more attention is being paid to the role of knowledge in the economy it is timely to have a supply-side account of labour market change that suggests that not all atypical, agency-based work and other casual work arrangements are deleterious to the worker.' David Rooney, Prometheus

Book Description

This book examines the emergence of atypical work. It focuses on knowledge-based employees - or experts - to show the way in which they are ushering in changes in the work environment. The authors consider their impact on our understanding of labour markets and organisational behaviour.
