Living in the Corporate Zoo

The products we use in our everyday lives, the tools and the skills that we employ in our jobs, are all affected by globalisation and technological change. Whether located in a remote village in sub Saharan Africa or living in London, Paris or New York City, we can t escape their fundamental consequences. But just as technologies are changing the way we do business, so too are the attitudes and values of people as employees, consumers and citizens. This revolution is occurring at a phenomenal rate and is having just as much impact on business as the ever present and changing Internet. In Living in the Corporate Zoo, Richard Scase tackles a huge range of issues. From looking at corporate re structuring and American models of management to the competitive advantage of nations, and from balancing home and work life to what the future of employment will look like, Richard Scase defines the new world of work, or corporate zoo that we are living in. Where personal success is driven by performance related reward systems. Where long working hours and the ability to swing from one organization cage to another are just part of everyday life. He looks at the broader personal and social ramifications of these challenges. Richard Scase is perhaps one of the most authoritative and sought after thinkers and speakers on business and society in Europe today. He speaks to thousands of business and political leaders every year and is prominently featured in the media almost daily. In this sequel to the best selling Britain in 2010, Richard once again sets out the landscape of current and future thinking which can help leaders deal ultimately with Living in the Corporate Zoo.
