Original reviews of The Transformation of Work?
‘Wood’s collection is stimulating and in places excellent.’ British Journal of Industrial Relations
‘This collection makes a valuable contribution to thinking about contemporary work…The diversity of the authors and types of work settings studied are other attractive features.’ Walter R. Nord, Administrative Science Quarterly, Vol 37, No. 1 (1992)
‘This collection should be on the reading list of everyone who has been inspired by popular accounts of flexible firms and second industrial divides...It does bring a great deal of lucidity to the topic.’ Ian Miles, Futures, 1990.
