Four Futures - 0 views

  •  
    "There are therefore four logical combinations of the two oppositions, resource abundance vs. scarcity and egalitarianism vs. hierarchy. To put things in somewhat vulgar-Marxist terms, the first axis dictates the economic base of the post-capitalist future, while the second pertains to the socio-political superstructure. Two possible futures are socialisms (only one of which I will actually call by that name) while the other two are contrasting flavors of barbarism."

  •  
    Introduction The meaning of work The "Future of Work" has been the subject of an enormous amount of research, both byacademics and other commentators. Large numbers of books, reports and journal articleshave been devoted entirely or in substantial part to this topic. Globalization and technologyin combination are resulting in dramatic changes in how work is done and where it isundertaken. Work can now easily be broken into smaller tasks and redistributed around theworld. Dramatic improvements in real time communications, including the development of "virtual worlds" , are transforming the concept of what it means to be "at work", althoughthere is sometimes a tendency to exaggerate and sensationalise in order to sell books andnewspapers. 1

The Future of Work Is Services: So Where Is the Future of Services? - 0 views

    he White House likes to talk about manufacturing, and it's easy to fetishize the honor in "making things," but when you get right down to it, it's a services world, and we're all just living in it. The manufacturing sector makes up about a tenth of GDP. It's a crucial, productive, and fiery tenth. But it's just a tenth. The vast majority of us are working for the government, administering health care, serving food, manning an aisle, or doing something else while sitting in front of a computer for eight hours a day. The Services Economy isn't a new development, but it's deepening with each passing decade. Between 1990 and 2008, we created 27.3 million net new jobs. Health care and government alone accounted for 40 percent of that growth, according to economist Michael Spence. Adding in retail, food services, hospitality, and construction*, these sectors accounted for two-thirds of job growth over those two decades.

The Future of Work and the Work of Our Future. - 0 views

  •  
    The 30th ISPSO Annual Meeting will explore the Future of Work from a psychoanalytic perspective. How do we now understand what is 'work' in the light of globalization, networked communities, instant information, demographic, technological and climate change? The centre of gravity of global enterprise has shifted southwards, opening new markets and creating new wealth but the gulf has widened between those have employment and those who are unable to gain entry into the world of work. 'Unwork'; unpaid, insecure non-­‐ employment is the norm for millions; what are the implicationsof this?

  •  
    The Future of Work examines the challenges to conventional notions of work and organization brought on by new digital technologies and trends. As the velocity of change increases, institutions and individuals must adapt. Yet many structures, including those in education, government, business and the economy, often remain rooted in the past. The report captures the insights of the Nineteenth Annual Aspen Institute Roundtable on Information Technology, where business leaders, technologists, international politicians, academics and innovators explored how global structures and institutions are being confronted by the 21st century realities of distributed knowledge, crowdsourcing, open platforms and networked environments. The report shares the solutions these leaders proposed for preserving individual well-being and defining a future world of work that benefits everyone involved.
