    Notes: IT expertise cannot be viewed as a decisive asset in organisational tournaments. Survey findings suggest IT competence is associated with severe handicaps in power contests between professional/managerial strata. At least for the present, there are strongly negative implications for hypotheses of organisational ascendancy for IT professionals or for their successful achievement of a collective mobility project.

    Notes: This paper compares and contrasts the demographic and employment characteristics of those who have the option to work at home with those who actually carry out paid work where they live. The results suggest that having the opportunity to choose where to work represents another perk for those already occupying an advantaged position in the labour market. However, some of the most disadvantaged in society are found among those who actually do most of their work at home.

    Notes: Focussing here on local authorities and health services, this paper examines the significance of new technology to unskilled work in the public sector as it is developing and the implications for workplace learning. An argument is developed that new technology is central to a minority of examples of job change, although, significantly, it is more important to staff–initiated change and to workers’ ability to fully participate in life beyond the workplace.

    Notes: This paper traces the impact of three knowledge management (KM) projects inside a global pharmaceuticals firm. The first was a conventional debriefing exercise; the second a major investment in an electronic repository, ‘Warehouse’; and the third, ‘Café’, an attempt to use web technology to construct new ‘communities of practice’. Discussions of KM have been dominated by prescriptive and managerialist approaches that ignore organisational politics and the impact of KM on the labour process. We place these issues at the centre of our account of KM. The critical weaknesses of the KM projects were: first, their reliance on the active involvement of labour. Passive resistance was sufficient to limit the impact of KM in practice. Second, the technical development of KM systems was not matched by the formation of consistent, centralised measures of social processes. Both factors severely limited the development of KM as a durable power/knowledge regime.

    Notes: Home-based micro-enterprises involving information and communications technologies are associated with the new, entrepreneurial economy of the twenty-first century. The research reported in this paper suggests that if such ‘new’ ways of working become more widespread the results may not only be harsh for many individuals and households but damaging overall for the quality of working life.

    Notes: The paper meets a need for more context specific empirical research in this area. Subject to medical group power, the three cases studied suggest that MIS/IT enhances the role of middle managers since it is they who are best placed to ‘synthesise’ information from MIS/IT for executive management.

    Notes: Whether or not the Japanese work organisation may be considered teamworking is debated, especially by European researchers. In this paper four characteristics of the Japanese work organisation are outlined. These characteristics are typical for this form of teamworking. Empirical data are presented on its transfer to China and the United Kingdom.

    Notes: The paper distinguishes between four categories of work systems: the traditional Tayloristic system, ‘lean’ team work, ‘sociotechnical’ teamwork and the professional work system. Using a Telepanel survey of over 800 Dutch workers, the association of work system with several employee outcome variables is analysed, including quality of working life, well-being and worker attitudes.
