Produktbeschreibung
How does this alter the capacity of individuals and groups to manipulate knowledge and ultimately to construct and manage organizations? Many managers will use the Internet as a means to reduce labor costs. They will rely increasingly upon contingent employees who lack benefits and offices, and work from home. These employees will know little about the treatment of their co-workers and will have little power to compel improved treatment. Another possibility is that the Internet will enhance the potential of production by democratic networks of skilled craftsmen who exchange designs by e-mail and edit them on their personal computers. Traditional managers will oppose this vision of organizational reform, but others may find that quality and flexibility are enhanced by this approach.
Examining what is happening to work, organizations and unions in the age of the Internet, this fascinating book reveals both the opportunities and dangers for workers in the digital age.
