In this updated second edition, Aungles and Parker describe and analyze the major approaches to work and organizations, and place them in a broad sociological framework. They also look at the dilemmas and uncertainties currently facing management and the work-force, including the rapid introduction of new technology, the rise in unemployment and the shift towards non-standard patterns of work, and changes in management practice and the role of education. The book compares a variety of organizations from trade unions to large bureaucracies, ranging across several countries. "Work, Organisations and Change" addresses the issues of human resource management and organizational change, as well as many other issues which are confronting people in their attempts to understand current organization dilemmas and uncertainties.
