Books in the Manchester Business and Management Series series

This volume brings together a team of international researchers and practitioners to study the implementation and impact of organizational changes such as downsizing, restructuring and privatization. The text provides a combination of research, theory and practice.

* Highlights the theory and practice of key aspects of work and organizational psychology. * Uses a new approach to explore what is practically relevant from the science of industrial and organizational psychology, in what context it is appropriate, and what needs to be done in the future.

* Focuses on the effects of current changes on workers and work, rather than on organizations as a whole. * Covers topical issues such as work--family concerns, teleworking, outsourcing and flexible work hours. * Complements and supplements Burke and Coopera s "The Organization in Crisis" (Blackwell Publishers, 2000).
