The Future of Work

The future of work is a key contemporary area of debate both in business and management research but also in wider social political and economic discourse. Global issues including the ageing workforce, gig economy, workplace automation and changing forms of business ownership are all regularly the subject of debate in both academic research and the mainstream media with wider professional and public policy implications.

The Future of Work is a series of accessible short form books (20 - 50 000 words) with each examining a key issue or challenge in the modern workplace and synthesising prior developments in critical thinking and current practical challenges in order to interrogate possible future developments in the world of work. Titles will offer future research agendas and suggest practical outcomes for todays and tomorrows businesses and workforce and the books will allow experts to present powerful challenging and polemical analysis of their subject's potential to address future challenges and possible new trajectories. Books in the series will also highlight what changes still need to be made to core areas of business practice and theory in order for them to be forward facing more representative and able to fulfil the industrial challenges of the future.
