With increased global integration made possible by the marriage of the computer and new communications technologies, the world of work is changing. This has implications for organisations and individuals' careers. This subject will examine concepts of work, organisation and career in the traditional economy and then in the `new economy'. In the process, models of new economic development such as `the weightless economy', `the new economy', `the information society' will be considered and evaluated. Also, new ways of understanding the concept of career will be identified and evaluated.
