Space, Place and Global Digital Work
Palgrave Macmillan (Verlag)

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.
Jörg Flecker is a professor of sociology and head of the sociology department at the University of Vienna, Austria. For more than 15 years he has worked on delocalization of ICT-enabled work and restructuring of service value chains.
