U.S. industry has undergone a shakeout resulting from increasing competitive pressures and the globalization of production. As a result, some two million workers have been laid-off from their employers.  Individual chapters have been drafted by an interdisciplinary group of academics who explore seven key areas: demographic changes of younger and older workers,\n\u003cbr\u003eworkforce displacement from lay-offs, human resources planning for downsizing and mergers, technological change, changes  in the roles of unions, changes in managerial and professional work, and\n\u003cbr\u003e`contingent' and flexible employment.  The drafts of the chapters have been extensively edited and, in some cases, rewritten so that the book will read more like a series of chapters than a group of papers.  The work was commissioned by the National Planning Association who will be a party to the contract.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156730867950,"sku":"9780195064612","price":364.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/turbulence-in-the-american-workplace","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
