New Thoughts about Work: Theoretical and Practical Aspects

Abstract

The chapters in this ebook were developed from papers presented at the Second Global conference, The Value of Work: Exploring Critical Issues in Prague on Monday 31st October to Wednesday 2nd November. The Conference was organised by Inter-Disciplinary.Net which is a global network for dynamic and transdisciplinary research and publishing. The papers presented at the conference were a thought provoking mix of theoretical and practical aspects of work. Academics and practitioners from many disciplines and countries discussed the presentations. The chapters of this ebook are a result of the serious reflections by the authors of those discussions. This ebook makes a worthwhile contribution to the study of work because some chapters offer new insights about work and other chapters extend the boundaries of knowledge areas of work. As a transdisciplinary approach to work the collection of chapters provides much to connect many of the disparate disciplines that have to date dominated the publications in this field.
