In Living in the Corporate Zoo, Richard Scase tackles a huge range of issues. From looking at corporate re-structuring and American models of management to the competitive advantage of nations, and from balancing home and work life to what the future of employment will look like, Richard Scase defines the new world of work, or 'corporate zoo' that we are living in. Where personal success is driven by performance related reward systems. Where long working hours and the ability to swing from one organization cage to another are just part of everyday life. He looks at the broader personal and social ramifications of these challenges.
Richard Scase is perhaps one of the most authoritative and sought after thinkers and speakers on business and society in Europe today. He speaks to thousands of business and political leaders every year and is prominently featured in the media almost daily. In this sequel to the best-selling Britain in 2010, Richard once again sets out the landscape of current and future thinking which can help leaders deal ultimately with Living in the Corporate Zoo.
