This comprehensive Handbook presents an overview of current research and thinking within the sociology of work. The contributors examine how the organisation and experience of work are shaped by the evolution of global capitalism, trends in political economy, and rapid technological developments.The Handbook explores varied forms and experiences of work – from factory, informal, and agricultural work, to more recent developments like platform work, coworking, neo-craft work, and emotional labour. Contributing authors also reflect on social inequalities in the workplace, interrogating the interplay between class, identity, race, gender, and age, and they address important policy issues, such as the climate crisis, digitisation and artificial intelligence, modern slavery, and the future of work. Each chapter critically evaluates core sociological concepts and theories while also identifying potential future research agendas.The Handbook on the Sociology of Work is a vital resource for scholars and students of sociology, political science, employment studies, and business and management. Practitioners and policymakers will also benefit from the in-depth coverage of such a wide range of contemporary topics in the field.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This insightful Research Agenda provides reflections on the state of the international business and management discipline and also highlights important future topics for research. The book especially covers a range of thought-provoking ideas on key subjects, from externalisation theory to emerging market economies to societal crises and modern slavery.This Research Agenda also revisits the relevance of core theories; examines the changing roles of nation states and multinationals as well as power relations and ideologies; and discusses new phenomena in international business and management (IB/M).

Key Features: Extensive onward references for further reading and researchEntries authored by a diverse selection of writers, from highly experienced professors to fresh perspectives from up-and-coming scholarsKey topics covered include classic ideas such as class, critical theory and postmodernism, as well as more recent developments such as critical diversity studies, hauntology, and modern slavery. Also included are detailed entries on the intellectual development of CMS itself, CMS in North America, and criticisms of CMS
