Work, Employment and Society
"This vibrant, thought-provoking book brings the insights of
social-science to business studies. With accessible language and
illustrations, it introduces classical and contemporary theories
and shows how they shape our understanding of the world of work,
organizations and business, including topical issues such as the
environment, neoliberal policy, changing technologies and global
interdependencies. It is one of the most comprehensive and
imaginative contributions to the study of work, employment and
society that I have read. I have no doubt this highly original book
will become one of the most important texts in the sociology of
work and business studies for years to come."
Anna Pollert, University of the West of England
"This impressive introductory text offers a refreshingly clear
approach to understanding the contested role of business in
society. Accessible and engaging in equal measure, and avoiding the
pitfalls of shallow oversimplification, the book will appeal to
students in both sociology and business and management studies, and
provide a breath of fresh air for their teachers."
Paul du Gay, University of Warwick
