While traditional accounts of work have tended to focus upon male manual workers in factories, recent developments have shifted the notions of what counts as work, what work is, and where it takes place. This topical book takes up these developments, broadening our understanding of work.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Complementing the second edition of Grint's successful Sociology of Work textbook, this book is divided into five parts, each of which explores recent developments in the theory and practice of work. The wide range of substantive areas covered includes domestic work, globalization, gender, resistance, child labour and labour relations. The theoretical approaches incorporate theories of technology, time, identity, change and discipline. The authors include some of the leading international writers in their fields today, such as Stephen Barley, John Hassard, Bruno Latour and Judy Wajcman, plus some of the rising stars of the future. Each part has an introduction by the editor which contextualizes the selections, and there is a general introduction to help students navigate the text.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWork and Society: A Reader\u003c\/i\u003e will be essential reading for anyone taking courses in the sociology of work, organizational behaviour, business studies, studying MBAs or wishing to understand the contemporary world of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEditor’s Note xiii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbbreviations xiv\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEditor’s Introduction 1\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFigures vii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTables viii\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Beyond the Conventions of Work\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Time 14\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eImages of Time in Work and Organization\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e John Hassard\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Technology 41\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eTechnology is Society made Durable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bruno Latour\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Age\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eChild Labour: an Economic Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Christiaan Grootaert and Ravi Kanbur\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Outside the Factory Gate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Customer 76\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Cult(ure) of the Customer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Paul du Gay and Graeme Salaman\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Domestic Work 94\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Superwoman Syndrome: Gender Differences in Attitudes towards Equal Opportunities at Work and towards Domestic Responsibilities at Home\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sue Newell\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Constraints and Consensus at Work\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 111\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Culture 117\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Corporate Culture: A history of the Histories of Cadbury\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Michael Rowlinson and John Hassard\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Discipline 142\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDisciplinary Power in the modern Corporation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stanley Deetz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Resistance 163\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eStrategies of Resistance: Power, Knowledge and Subjectivity in the Workplace\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e David Collinson\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart IV After Class\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Race and Ethnicity 204\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEmployment\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tariq Modood\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Gender 254\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIt’s Hard to be Soft: Is Management Style Gendered?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Judy Wajcman\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart V The Future of Work\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Globalization 280\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eVariety of Pattern of the Post-Fordist Economy: Why are the ‘Old Times’ still with us and the ‘New Times’ yet to come?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fiorenza Belussi and Francesco Garibaldo\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Change 280\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDesign and Devotion: Surges of Rational and Normative Ideologies of Control in Managerial Discourse\u003c\/i\u003e Stephen R.
