Drawing on a wide range of international expertise, contributors examine important policy challenges arising from the transformation of work as a result of the introduction of digital technology at work. \u003cbr\u003eAuthors in this volume discuss the effects of automation, platform business models, stagnating productivity, increasing regional disparities, and rising levels of inequality within and between countries. They consider how to unlock the vast economic and social potential of new technologies and the implications for policy reform to meet these challenges. \u003cbr\u003eMastering them requires developing a new inclusive narrative and progressive reform agenda. Such an agenda would be economic and political, and not determined universally by technology. The narrative is not only about what policymakers need to do, which is rather a lot. It is also about reforming established organisations and institutions, understanding new emerging players and supporting disaffected citizens in how the effects of these changes are going to affect their lives. The authors clearly pinpoint what needs to be done to support the transition to work in the digital era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlorian Ranft is Head of Policy and International at Policy Network. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJacqueline O'Reilly is Professor of Comparative Human Resources at the University of Sussex Business School. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMax Neufeind is a researcher and policy adviser on the future of work.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 610\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 8.5 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50372995154157,"sku":"9781786609069","price":93.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/GaXyzvMBEo9781786609069.webp?v=1785512747","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-ca\/products\/work-in-the-digital-age-challenges-of-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
