About this title

Synopsis

Kathleen Riach draws on a 10-year study to explore how ageing is experienced at work, an area overlooked in management and organization studies. Introducing a new phenomenological theory, she examines how individuals manage age-biased workplace cultures and adapt to their evolving bodies within the context of financial capitalism.
