Workplace Studies: Recovering Work Practice and Informing System Design

This important new book brings together key researchers in Europe and the United States to discuss critical issues in the study of the workplace and to outline recent developments in the field. The collection is divided into two parts. Part I contains a number of detailed case studies that not only provide an insight into the issues central to workplace studies but also some of the problems involved in carrying out such research. Part II focuses on the interrelationship between workplace studies and the design of new technologies.

'I enjoyed the book and recommend it for those interested in workplace studies and the role of workplace studies in the design of technologies to support teams and collaborative work.' Computer Supported Cooperative Work
