Workplace By Design: Mapping The High-performance Workscape (jossey Bass Business And Management Series) - Franklin Becker And Fritz Steele

With all the literature devoted to change in the workplace, discussing either the role of technology or the need to restructure organizations, little attention has been paid to the physical workplace and how space can limit or shape both work itself and the application of technology. Becker, director of the International Workplace Studies Program at Cornell University, and Steele, a consultant and former faculty member at Yale and Harvard Universities, target managers and organizational leaders with this consideration of the consequences of space planning and design. They look at work-flow patterns, the status and identity aspects of space and location, the need for flexibility, the growing role of teams, health factors, and the unique characteristics and technological requirements of remote or off-site workers. This book will be a valuable addition to any collection concerned with the future of work. David Rouse
