New to this edition:
• The gig economy and new digital platforms and their effects on how work is organized.

• The new retail, from customer interactions to a world where consumption is driven by data science.
• The latest research on call centers as the archetypal 21st-century workplace, illustrating many important issues about interactive work, transnational workplaces, gender, etc.
• The post-pandemic workplace, including essential workers and frontline workers, healthcare work and care workers; job flexibility, and implications for gender, work, and family.
