Description: From "corner office" to "24/7" to "glass ceiling," the world of work has permeated every facet of our culture. The Way We Work explores in over 150 A-Z entries, the origins and impact of the concepts, ideas, people, fads, themes, and issues that have become part of the business "vernacular," shedding light on the dynamic ways in which business and society both influence and reflect each other. Covering such timely topics as Crisis Management, Outsourcing, and Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, as well as such popular subjects as Casual Friday, Feng Shui, Napster, and Powerpoint, The Way We Work explains the background and context of each concept, discusses its proponents and detractors, provides examples, and considers its long-term impact on business and the culture at large. Assessing the evolving business environment in the context of technology development, globalization, and workplace diversity, The Way We Work covers the gamut of business-related topics, and how they affect our daily lives and careers. Featuring timelines and lists, sidebars, interviews with business leaders, facts and figures, print and on-line resources, quotations, keynote essays from respected management authors, cross-references, and a comprehensive index, this two-volume set will be a highly informative and entertaining guide to business culture for managers and front-line employees, educators and researchers, and high school and college students considering careers in business.
