Palgrave Macmillan Space, Place And Global Digital Work

This edited volume seeks to enhance our understanding of the concepts of space and place in the study of digital work.It argues that while digital work is often presented as 'placeless', work always takes place somewhere with a certain degree of local embeddedness.Contributors to this collection address restructuring processes that bring about delocalised digital work and point out limitations to dislocation inherent in the work itself, and the social relations or the physical artefacts involved. Exploring the dynamics of global value chains and shifts in the international division of labour, this book explores the impact these have on employment and working conditions, workers' agency in shaping and coping with changes in work, and the new competencies needed in virtual organisational environments.Combining different disciplinary perspectives, the volume teases out the spatial aspects of digital work at different scales ranging from team level to that of globalproduction networks.
